[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these pens! Nice and sleek design. Very comfortable in your hand with the grip. Not heavy at all. They write great! Nice smooth lines with no skip.

A bit dissapointed
on February 14, 2026
Posted by: MarisolB
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always like Sharpie products. When I saw this gel pens I thought: omg they are super cute. I love the design, the color, but unfortunately the Performa is not as I expected. I was a bit dissapointed because it's not the best quality. Still works but It needs some improvements. The line is not smooth and that bothers me.

Smooth and comfortable
on February 14, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sharpie always offers a smooth writing experience and these sleek and stylish S-Gel ocean fog pens live up to it. The rubber grip makes these feel super comfortable in hand, and the ink dries almost instantly with no smudging through paper at all. The 0.7mm tip writes smoothly and gives a clean, thin line that looks sleek and professional. The ink is rich and consistent, like the feel of the pen and the way the ink glides across the page. These are my go-to pens for everyday writing at home or at work.

S gel
on February 15, 2026
Posted by: SarahF
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the sharpie brand, so when I saw that they had a new product I was excited to try it. Sharpie is always my go to brand for markers, they never disappoint. I receives these Sharpie S-Gel Ocean Fog pens for free from Sharpie and Influenster in exchange for my honest review. The first thing i notice is the design, I like the solid color pens. I like the sleek design of the pen. The grip is smooth and comfortable. The pen is super lightweight and nice to hold. I was expecting something a little different but overall I'm satisfied. The pen writes nicely and ink dries quickly so there is no smearing. It's more of a thinner line instead of a thicker one I was expecting, it wries smoothly. The sharpie brand is always reliable.

Smooth Writing & Stylish Design – A New Favorite P
on February 15, 2026
Posted by: DuniaG
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Sharpie S-Gel Ocean Fog 0.7mm (black ink) is officially one of my favorite everyday pens. If you love a smooth-writing pen, this one truly writes like butter. The ink flows consistently without skipping, and the 0.7mm tip gives a bold, clean line that looks great on paper.
Beyond performance, I really love the Ocean Fog color — it’s subtle but still cute and modern. It makes the pen feel a little more special than your average black pen.
My daughter and I recently used these while filling out Valentine’s Day cards for her classmates, and they made the whole process so much more enjoyable. They’re comfortable to hold, glide easily, and don’t smear easily.
This would also make a thoughtful little gift for teachers or anyone who appreciates a good pen. Stylish, smooth, and reliable — definitely a keeper.

Not impressed
on February 15, 2026
Posted by: NatashaC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens I was so excited to receive due to me thinking they were going to write smoothly, the grip is okay but I must say I was disappointed in the way they wrote. The way they wrote felt like I was writing on grits, I didn’t like the way these pens performed.
Response from influenster.comBy Sharpie, February 19, 2026
Hello Natasha!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Sharpie S‑Gel Fashion Barrel, 0.7mm pens. I’m really sorry to hear that the writing feel wasn’t what you expected. When a pen feels scratchy or rough — especially when you’re hoping for a smooth, gliding gel experience — it can be really disappointing.
I’m glad the grip worked well for you, but I completely understand how the writing performance affected your overall impression. If you still have the pens, here are a few tips that may help improve the smoothness:
Tips to Improve Writing Smoothness
1. Try writing on smoother paper — gel pens can feel gritty on more textured pages.
2. Warm the pen in your hand for a moment to help the gel ink flow more evenly.
3. Scribble lightly on scrap paper to prime the tip and remove any dried ink.
4. Use lighter pressure — gel pens often perform better with a softer touch.
5. Store the pens horizontally to keep the ink balanced inside the barrel.
Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and it helps highlight where the writing experience can be improved. If you ever need help finding a pen that offers a truly smooth glide, we’d be happy to point you toward some great options.
Please don't hesitate to reach out! We’re available Monday through Friday from 9 AM – 5 PM ET.

Made the “write” choice
on February 16, 2026
Posted by: AlexxC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love them for their markers, but I didn’t realize that Sharpie was also killing it in the pen game! I was pleasantly surprised by these. Their gel pens are very ergonomic, easy to write with, and they actually make me want to take notes more! My only concerns would be of them potentially drying out quickly or not containing a lot of product (I’ve experienced that before with other gel pens), but because I’ve always had great experiences with other Sharpie products, I think I’ll be a-ok! Highly recommend if you’re a note taker or someone who’s old school and likes to write letters!
