Gel Pen LOVE & a 3-DAY Etsy Promo!!!

 I need to admit right away that I am a LOVER of colorful pens, so I am always excited when I get a pack of new pens from Pentel to review!!! I love using different colored pens because it helps to keep my notes, ideas, and other things I deem important at the time I write them down organized and distinguishable. I also am a highlighter whore and have every color and style I can find. Between my highlighters, my sticky notes and my pens....I could have a disorder of some type..hahaha. I can never have enough office supplies and great pens are like gold!! 

Well, I have to say that I really like these pens!!  They are light, yet sturdy and very comfortable to write with.  The blue ones were not as smooth as the rest of the pens, which was a little odd. The point felt a little scratchy on the paper, but the color was fantastic!! Here is the Pentel EnerGel X Roller Ball Retractable Gel Pen ...

This next model was much smoother and I loved the variety of colors. Cosmetically, it does not look or feel differently from the first model, but it seemed like the ball-point was a bit thicker. Some prefer the thinner points, but I would much rather have the thick ball-point so my writing is clear.

This next model was also very smooth and wrote nicely on both thin and thick paper. I think this one was my favorite; however, I only received one color - black. What I like the best about this one was that I did not have to press down hardly at all, which can be a nice feature if you are writing for a long period of time.

And last, but not least, is the mechanical pencil!! I can't say much about this little guy except that I love everything about it except the eraser. The eraser is very small and will not last through even one piece of lead. I always have a separate eraser to use with pencils, but I do appreciate when the mechanical pencils include one that can be rolled up and replaced easily. What I really like about this pencil is that the tip does not un-screw if used for a long period of time. I am left-handed (not sure if that has anything to do with this) and so many of my mechanical pencils will un-screw at the tip if I use them for periods of time. This one stayed nice and tight.

Overall, I really like these pens and not one will go to waste..ha!! The only negative thing about the Gel pens that all of them smear easily when a highlighter is used over the ink (see the second picture below). It is not really a big deal if you have several colors to use, but this might be a bit annoying if you are using the black or blue and need to highlight anything. 

Shoplet's promotional products are also high quality. My husband and I own a HVAC business in Arizona and we buy these items all the time to give away & it can definitely get very expensive... even for the stuff that falls apart..haha I am thinking about getting some 3AM Teacher promo stuff made to leave at our community pool, gym and welcome center. Everyone loves free stuff, right??
