About a couple of weeks ago I received Chalk Markers by Colore to Review. I wasn't really familiar with chalk markers, sure I've heard of chalk that you can write on the blackboard or sidewalk with, and markers that you can draw on various paper with. Well I have seen vibrant written displays on blackboards or windows outside of restaurants about specials and other things, or writing all over cars saying "For Sale" or "Just Married." In many cases that was chalk markers!

Learning more about chalk markers sparked my excitement more. I saw this promotion running for the Colore markers and I was happy that I was accepted. The Colore markers I received was a pack of 8 colors with a dual 6 mm tip. The markers also came with a bonus silicone pen holder that is strong even though it is soft. There are 5 different colors for the silicone case: pink, yellow, red, green and blue. I received a blue case. According to the packaging the liquid chalk markers are best used on: glass, whiteboards, chalkboard labels, sidewalk signs , menu boards and more. On the packaging and on the marker itself, there are easy to follow instructions on how to use the markers. Read those instructions. By first glance, I thought to just open the cap and use the product, like other markers, but these involve pushing the tip up virtually to release pressure, shaking and pushing the tip down for to release the ink. As I stated earlier, to use the markers is easy to follow, just follow the instructions.

I chose to write on the bathroom mirror for the review. I decided to write a quote that I've lived by since I was younger, "Nothing happen unless first a dream." This quote is by famous poet, Carl Sandburg. I wrote most of the wording with the purple color. I wanted the "Dream" part of the quote to display different colors of the pack. I found that the colors with more pigment were: purple, pink, green, red, and orange. I found that blue, yellow and white, were more more runny and I spent a couple minutes with those colors, trying to get more pigment and less running of the color. Below how my drawing turned out:


I think the result turned out well. I made a few mistakes on the "M" and the stars and it was easy to use a little bit of water and a paper towel to fix them. My stars still turned out to be runny. That was the yellow color which I spent some time with the pen down to get more solid ink. The trail of the stars kind of makes them look like they are dancing in a way. Hehe. Overall, I am very pleased with the chalk markers. Just in writing the quote, I felt very creative using the markers. Now that the weather is getting warmer I'm sure I'll be using these markers for more bright and vibrant things and not just to draw on the bathroom mirror. The design also came off very easily with simple water. Here is also a picture I took with my daughter of the same quote. She thumbed up my masterpiece :-)
