Disappointing inks (sopuli.xyz)

Do you have any inks that you wanted to buy after reading great reviews that turned out less exciting than expected?

My biggest disappointment is Diamine Skull & Roses. After seeing swatches online I expected a blue ink with a visible red sheen. Unfortunately the sheen is just not there at all, it looks like an average dark blue ink, not even blurple. I'm glad I've only bought the 30 ml bottle.

I just picked up a bottle of Pilot Iroshizuku Ajisai. It seemed so pretty in swatches, but in the pen it's just a flat, pale blue with no purple in it at all.
