Ooly Scented Yummy Yummy Glitter Gel Pens Set of 12-1.00mm NIB Scented Glitter Pens for Kids, Adults, Art and Stationery Set Back to School Supplies

I love these pens! They write very smoothly and have a light scent. No ink leakage and there is some smearing if rubbed over immediately, but the ink dries within a minute or two.

Huge fan of these gel pens. We buy them on repeat because my granddaughter LOVES them, and I find myself using them when I want to jot down a quick note with a bit of flair. They write very smoothly, the colors are vibrant, and the sparkle level is just right. They write well right up until the moment when the last of the ink is used up. (The scent is very faint.)

I use these to grade papers, write student notes, take meeting notes, and do just about everything else at work (school) that requires me to write. I love the way they write smoothly, and the colors are fun.

A good birthday gift

Writes great, like all gel pens do. Our daughter doesn't care that they are scented but is obsessed with these because of the glitter. We've replaced these several times because she used them up.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:CFunctionality:

Best travel pens. Kids had a blast using them while out to dinner.

I've had these pens for about a week now, and while I don't regret my purchase at all, there are some problems that I felt needed to be mentioned for people who are thinking of buying them.First, what I liked about them: They are scented just like they say in the description, and the scent is strong enough that I don't have to bring my nose to the paper in order to smell them, which is the case for some other brands of scented pens I've bought in the past. I can smell the ink coming up from the paper as I write. I use these pens in journals for short story writing, and upon returning to a section I wrote with these pens maybe two days after I'd written on the page, I was still able to smell the ink, though by then the smell was not as prominent as it had been when I first wrote it out. I still find that to be impressive. Of the pens, I liked the strawberry and orange scented pens the best, and the lemon scented pen was the most prominent of the bunch in terms of intensity of smell and accuracy to its inspired fruit. The colors of these pens are nice and vibrant and for the most part, the transition from one color to the next is really enjoyable and pretty to watch as it creates a really cool rainbow/multicolored effect. Purple to blue, blue to green, and pink to yellow have the nicest effects. All of the pens worked right out of the package and I've never had one completely stop on me so far while I was writing. There was some skipping though, but it's not a frequent issue.What I didn't like: I had issues with some of the scents of the pens. Lemon is so strong that I can't use it for more than a few minutes before I get a headache. Grape doesn't smell like grape at all, it has some fruit-like scent, but nothing that can be identified. I wouldn't say it smelled bad, it just doesn't smell the way it should. Cherry smells disgusting, which is a shame because it's usually my favorite scent/flavor. The smell of cherry is present, but there's something else in the scent that makes it kind of nauseating. It just didn't hit its mark in recreating the scent. With how the colors are ordered in the pens, orange transitions into purple and this makes for a very muddy color when they change over and it's not exactly pleasant to look at. I think this is something to keep in mind if you plan on using these pens to write letters or cards for other people. I already mentioned the skipping earlier, but I'll put it here again. Lastly, one of the pens I got had a piece pop off as soon as I removed the cap. There's a rubber piece in the cap that the tip of the pen presses into when you put the cap on, I'm assuming this is to prevent the pens from drying out. This piece popped off and I was unable to reattach it, so far this hasn't affected the pen.These next few things I want to mention are things that are worth noting but I didn't factor them into my score as they apply to these kinds of pens in general and not this brand/set specifically. Pastel pens tend to write with a goopy consistency and have a chalky finish. For modern pastel pens, the colors are usually closer to neon than they are to pastel, as is the case with these pens. Writing done in the yellow and orange are difficult to read, especially on white paper. The ink goes by pretty fast, I can get almost all the way through a section of color in the pens in only a couple pages of writing.I'd still recommend the pens, honestly. They don't cost much at all and I've enjoyed my experience with them, even when factoring in my problems. I can't say how well they'd work for drawing or coloring, but if you're looking for something fun for you or your kid to write with (especially your kid, swirled gel pens will always be a source of joy) and the cons I listed don't put you off, then I say go for it.
