A few years ago, my mother-in-law introduced me to the wonderful world of Grown-Up Coloring. Do a search for grown up coloring book or adult coloring book and there are an overwhelming number of options. 

There are coloring books for just about anything you could ever want to color. I, myself, have probably 50 coloring books, from everything from simple mandalas to Star Trek to flowers to cities. I color them all. 

My favorite coloring implement are gel pens. I color with everything, but really, gel pens are my favorite. And these pens in this reveiw are my favorite. 

The LolliZ pens are amazing. They are so smooth and bright and have a great variety of colors. 

It comes in a pack of 48 colors, but there are a couple that show up more than once. 

There are glitter pens, metallic pens, milky swirl pens, neon pens, and your basic colors. 

The glitter pens are my favorite. They have silver sparkles in them and they just make me happy. The metallic ones are great too. 

Here's some user-submitted photos of coloring using these gel pens: 

My only complaint about these pens is that they do run out quickly; however, for the price of these pens compared to others, it really can't be beat. The metallic and the glitter pens seem to run out first, but maybe that's because I use them more. I haven't really paid attention to that aspect. 

Enjoy! 

What's your favorite thing to color?

As soon as my son stops coloring on everything (besides the paper), I'll be sure to try these out!

Haha. I have two of those sons too. I have to hide everything I don't want them to color on or with.

I love coloring, but haven't tried the gel pens yet. I think I'll go get some!

You totally should. They're a totally different experience and are lots of fun.

Yes, I had one in every color in middle school. I'm so excited they've made a comeback.

I love coloring and gel pens are amazing! I don’t know why I haven’t bought some before, but feel the need to now lol. I have a bullet journal for keeping record of my weight loss journey and gel pens would make it so much nicer

Gel pens definitely take me back! I've been coloring with regular colored pencils, but I'll have to give them a try! My SO and I got a calendar that you color, so I'm going to have to pick some of these up and get started on November :)A- simplylovely90.com

Weren't they the BEST back in school? It was like, the best day ever when you'd receive a note from your BFF written in purple glitter ink!

I have a really cool Beauty and the Beast adult coloring book. Maybe I should try gel pens instead of colored pencils.

It's a totally different coloring experience. Gel pens are so smooth and satisfying in a different way.

I never would've thought to use gel pens for my colouring!! There are so many more options for colors too, I have to add these to my Christmas list!

I use colored pencils for my adult coloring book, but I will definitely have to check out these gel pens. I used to be obsessed with them in middle school.

Oh, me too! It was the best day ever to get a note from my BFF written in purple sparkle gel pen!
