I’ve previously reviewed the Marvy LePen Flex Brush Pens (Jewel Colors Set) but I wanted to try more colors of the Marvy Le Pen Flex Brush Pens ($2.10 each) and particularly wanted to try some of the more unusual colors. I also wanted to try the brush version of some of my favorite colors in the original LePen models (I’m looking at you, Oriental Blue!).
I chose to purchase individual pens over a set so that I could be choosy about the colors I selected. I prefer more complex colors that are often available in starter sets though the Pastel Color Set does include almost all the colors I bought. The only one I missed was the Pal Blue.
The Flex pens are the same size and shape as the original LePens but the caps on the Flex have a milky or translucent end cap. The big difference of course is the fiber brush tip which is a slightly soft, flexible brush tip. When compared to the Pentel Sign Brush Pens, the tips on the LePen Flex is softer and will flex more easily with less pressure.
I acquired nine more colors:
The Dark Grey and Oriental Blue are everything I hoped. They are the same shades as the original Le Pens but brushy and I am HERE FOR THAT.
The Dusty Pink, Coral Pink and Wisteria are lovely, Springy colors and will probably going to get a lot of use in February and on.
There are a few colors that are better than their names: Brown and Teal. The Brown color is a warm rich, dark chocolate color that is gorgeous. The Teal is a deep blue-green and deserves a more descriptive name but I’ll use it regardless of the blah name. The Ochre is almost more of a pumpkin or squash soup color. I can’t wait to use it in the month of October. It’s all the pumpkin spice vibes. I officially rename it “Pumpkin Spice”.
I am thrilled that I was not disappointed in any of the colors I purchased. Honestly, I hope Marvy releases even more colors. I’d love a tomato red, lime green, and some dark colors like green-black, brown-black, etc.
Overall though, the Marvy LePen Flex series is a great addition to the LePen line and I’m glad to have them in my collection.
