Loddie Doddie Macaron Gel Pens for Journaling & Note Taking - Pack of 8 0.7 mm Medium Retractable Pastel Ink - Smooth Gel Ink No Bleed & Smudge - & Teacher Essentials

I just love the pens. Perfect for artists or people who don't like the boring flat ink in most roller balls!

NIce pens. I like that I could order the thickness I wanted.

These write so amazing! Bonus points for how soft the pen is to hold in my hand.

ADORABLE colors! They write really, really, smooth. Just wish there was a bigger pack option so I could get alllllll of the colors at once!

I guess I assumed, and maybe wrongly so, that these pins would write in either black or blue ink. I work at a detox and short-term residential treatment facility where we have to do patient rounds hourly and some of which they're done every 15 to 30 minutes. Plus, a ton of documentation. Like lots and lots of documentation. I am really really weird and specific and choosy about what pens I use. These pens are very comfortable to hold. They do write very smooth. However, again I guess I just assumed they would write in black or blue ink. They do not. They actually write the color of the pen itself. And yes, it does come with a pen that has a white exterior and even that pen writes white. Now normally, you would say, who the hell writes with a white pin?! Like where would ever even show up?! Super funny because I got my Amazon delivery and went into work that evening and decorated My clipboard with my new stickers that had came and put my new pens inside of my clipboard. One of my co-workers was in the office with me and she just happened to be doing some journaling on some black paper and she saw the white pen and it worked out perfectly because she had literally been looking for a white pen earlier in the day online to buy! So for me, yes it did work out. Just note that if you need to write in a uniform color such as a black or blue ink, these will not work for you. Luckily, we kind of have freedom to use which colors we would like as long as it is documented grammatically correctly.

I am a sucker for anything artsy and crafty. I love pens period. I love the glide and feel of these pens. They make writing super fun and enjoyable, especially in all these beautiful variety of colors. They are worth the price you pay. I haven't noticed any smearing on my pages. If you are a pen collector or an avid journalist, writer, or love doodling and jotting things down, these are a perfect addition!

The color payout itself is vibrant and I love these pens for that. They write well, very smooth flow, when they write… I don’t know why, but every so often they have issues with not writing/putting down ink. It’s annoying because you can either scribble on scrap paper or just keep going over the same spot until it begins to write again. They are also extremely lightweight, feeling like they might be empty. All of them are this way. It’s up to you if you want to get these, but there are better weighted and smooth writing gel pens out there. I got the Zebra Vintage Colors and they are much better all around than these.

I absolutely love the smoothness of these pens. Plus the pastel colors are so pretty!
