    Going Back to School (And Work) With BIC {Review}

    By 278 Comments

    Disclosure:  I received the products below in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

    bic logo

    As a kid it was always about having the coolest and best crayons, but as I got older it was about the pens, highlighters and mechanical pencils.  It’s funny too because I never realized the difference between pens and pencils as a kid, but now I find myself really caring about quality pens especailly.  I am particually picky with how my pens look when I am writing in cards and notes I am sending to other people.  BIC is a brand that got me through college and I will buy for my own kids when they are past the crayons stage.  For now I will enjoy them all to myself.  BIC is not just plain ole’ black pens either, they have a whole bunch of products that are perfect whether you need them for Back to School or your own office.  For students, they are reliable products that mean homework will get done and look nice, even if the answers are wrong.

    What do I love most about BIC products?  They always write so smoothly and just glide across the paper.  No stalls from ink drying out or spotty writing.  BIC is a brand that has yet to let me down and honestly I always kick myself when I pick up non-BIC pens because I can tell right when I use them for the first time.  Out of all the BIC products I mentioned above I don’t know that I can pick a favorite as it depends on what I need the item for.  Such as when I need to highlight a document that I am going to blog about, the BIC Brite Liner Highlighter Tape does the job.  If I am going to write myself a note or just need to scribble something, then the BIC Round Stic Grip pens are perfect and I love how they come in such fun colors now!  I am all about fun colors, unless black is required, and I love how BIC keeps up with the color trends like neons and bright pastels.  The BIC pencils I probably use at least once a day because I am constantly changing my weekly blog plans and a pencil is a must.  Finally the new BIC Tech 2-in-1 Stylus and Pen is super cool because it is a pen on one side and a stylus pointer on the other.  No more finger prints or cheesy finger screen!

    Here is just a sample of my doodling with my new BIC products:

      i would most likely use the BIC Z4+ Roller. I love using rollerball pens because I am able to write without it looking so messy.

      As cool as the 2-in-1 stylus/pen looks, I have to admit that I would probably use the BIC Z4+ Roller first. I love the bright colors!

      Oh definitely the 2 in 1 stylus pen! I’m constantly working on my iPad, and have never used a stylus before. So if I like using it, I won’t have to constantly search for a pen when I need it too! Sweet.

      I totally have a pet peeve about a pen ‘scratching’ when I write. I love the sound of the smooth glide of the BIC Z4+ Roller pen!

      I would love to try the “For Her” pens. I have bought 2 packs of the “For Her” mechanical pencils and my teenage daughters swiped all but 1 of them I love it, so I’m sure I’ll love the pens as well.

      I would really like to use the Highlighter tape first-it’s a new product that I haven’t seen in the stores yet.

      I think I would like to get the round grip pens, not only for ME, but for the kids! They DO have to write a lot and this would be appreciated, I believe.

      I am so excited to try the roll highlighters! I like the Bic for Her pens as well since I some how always get stuck with the crappy looking free pens from some random business!

      I was holding a package of the stylus pens a couple of weeks ago, but just couldn’t justify them while also trying to fulfill my three kids’ school supply lists. However, when I saw your sample writing from the Bic for Her markers, I think I changed my mind to them as a first try. I love my. Bic Cristal for Her pens. Can’t wait to try the markers!

      I love the BIC for her pens – my daughter gave me a pink and purple one last year for my birthday and I just love them! It’s so fun to write with a different color.
