Ink Dupes #5: Bungubox and Bungubox

Posted in Ink

I just so happened to purchase samples of both of these at the same time, so they got swabbed right next to each other. I couldn’t miss the similarity. So if you missed out on Kabayaki, you can grab a bottle of Nostalgia. Unfortunately, I can’t find a review of Kabayaki, so you’ll have to do without.

    That touches me where I’m tender: I fell helplessly in love with Kabayaki ink, and its discontinuation still pains me. I recently discovered the Nostalgia ink, and I’m going to keep my fingers crossed that they’ll keep making it.

    Maybe it is me, but if the price for a bottle of the same volume is the same, why is the price per ml different?

    • Because I made a mistake. Thanks for pointing that out. I’ll change it. 🙂
