Writes great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These mechanical pencils are very nice to write with. The #2 size is what I like and the new lead makes for extra smooth writing. Any mistakes are easily erased away with the white eraser that corrects mistakes gently and without tearing your paper.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These mechanical pencils work exactly as they should. They glide on the paper real well and the placement of the lead dispenser is ergonomically sound, allowing you to get get more lead on the go without stopping.

Smooth Writting

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can never have too many mechanical pencils. It really does have a smooth, darker look. The led is 0.7mm. Great for writting those long essays or just dable in your notebook. My kids love to use them for drawing. Comes with erasers on every pencil and 2 pieces of led in each. Easily remove eraser and refill with led.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They ARE Xtra Sparkly! They make writing so much more fun by the little sparkle that they add to your day. BIC always puts out quality writing instruments, but these are a little more fun. Great for kids and adults alike!

Great to the point

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have several mechanical pencils that are reloadable, but I thought I would try one load leads. These #2 pencils are easy to use as they write smoothly and leave a dark fine line. The eraser does wonderful cleaning up errant lines. I have used this pencil daily and it is still going strong.

Great pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really fashionable, pretty pencils! If you're a parent, consider buying your child these pencils! They write extremely well and the lead is very sturdy. If you are looking for classic pencils, that are able to be refilled with lead and erasers, I highly recommend this one.

Write so smooth

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how slender these pencils are and how they feel in my hand. I love the lead because it actually feels silky. The lead on the paper doesn’t seem to smudge when you move your hand over it. I would recommend these mechanical pencils to someone to buy.

Bic...#1 for a reason!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bic is synonymous with the production of writing utensils, and while I'm most familiar with their pens, I thought I'd give their pencils a try. And unsurprisingly, they make a great pencil too!
First it should be noted, the Xtra Sparkle refers to the casing design...it has nothing to do with the lead or actual writing. (This was obvious to me, but I thought I should make it explicit.) That said, the "sparkle" is fun, and certainly visually pleasing. Too, it sets it apart from other pencils so I can easily spot any of my pencils that have wandered off in the hands of my fellow work colleagues.
The design is classic, and it sits easy in my hand. The mechanism to advance the lead (by pushing at the eraser end) is smooth and extends at satisfying increments. The plastic is sturdy, and I've experienced no operational failures.
The lead is the standard #2...useful for almost any purpose, from test taking to art, and the writing is smooth and strong. The lead rarely breaks when used at a perfectly shallow angle. I have no complaints about the function and ability to write.
My only very small quibble is with the eraser. Because the lead leaves such a satisfactorily dark line, the erasers struggle with their task, and it can take quite a vigorous action to render the paper clean. But this is a minor complaint, and otherwise the eraser is large enough to do good duty, but not so large as to be wobbly or uncontrollable.
Overall a pencil that feels, looks, and functions well. Will recommend!
