Isntree Yam Root line changed? Repackaged or reformulated?

Isntree Yam Root line changed? Repackaged or reformulated?

Just when I was about to reorder my HG Isntree Yam Root Vegan Milk Cream, it was out of stock on Shopee 🥲 Then I saw there are new yam root products. I’m not sure if it’s a reformulation or a repackage. I couldn’t find much info on the product page or on other sites. Does anyone else have info on the new yam root line?

UPDATE: Messaged the shop (Isntree’s official Shopee PH store) and they said it’s a repackaging. Can’t be too sure just yet because I haven’t checked the ingredients list.

Graph Notebook: Is this a dud or it is what it is?

Hi! I recently purchased an A5 Hobonichi Graph Notebook with the regular yellow cover through a reseller, so I couldn’t confirm which batch of TRP they used.

I’m using this for ink swatches and so far, I’m seeing bleed through on the big swatches where the ink pooled. There’s no feathering, just regular ghosting in the writing.

I compared it to my 2018 Weeks which had the original TRP and there was bleed through but less drastic.

Did I get a notebook from the bad batch or this is just how the new TRP-S behaves? It’s my first time to swatch inks on Hobonichi so I’m not sure what to expect.

Supplies used:
* Hobonichi Graph Notebook A5
* Majohn N10 Glass Dip Pen
* Pilot Iroshizuku Inks (Kosumosu, Chiku-rin, Tsuki-yo)
