Your Most Recent Impulsive Ink Purchase? (Replacement Bottles Don't Count.. Only 1St Timers!)

It could be worse -- I remember when they still had the B&M store in Pittsburgh....  

I wanted to stop in there one time on a Saturday when my husband and I were going for a drive, just to take a look at that year's Lamy al-Star SE.  Didn't like it but ended up paying MORE for a TWSBI 580-AL (the pink one) and three bottles of Akkerman ink (Nick was just sorting the bottles when I walked in, so they were all still on the counter).  

And when my husband came to pick me up, he was just rolling his eyes....

I remember this one from @namrehsnoom's review.  I especially liked its appearance on Tomoe River papers.

  Oh cool, I will take a look. 
 

  I also just bought a bottle of Private Reserve Midnight Blues as a balm for my soul because I can’t get their 2 Minutes to Midnight Blue.

I've never tried the Private Reserve inks, but their blues often show up on my "inks to buy" lists.  Feel free to show it off once you have it loaded. :-)

  I really enjoy their inks in a Pilot pen. I had PR Tanzanite in my Lightive (Explorer) for a long time. I love saturated blues and blurples- these fit the bill.

Lamy black - love the bottle, loved the blue and heard good things about the black. Still have Pelikan black to use up first though.

My favorite blacks are Aurora Black and Pelikan Brilliant Black 4001.  But then I haven't used a black ink in a while...
