[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been a hit with my daughter who used to break the mechanical pencil leads all the time. She enjoys using it and has been writing various things with these multicolor pencils. She loves the sparkle. The best thing is she manages without breaking the lead frequently. I have been using personally for writing various lists, notes and I absolutely love these. I will highly recommend these.

Old fashioned writing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With the prevalence of electronic "writing" programs in the present day, sometimes you just want to sit down and write the old fashioned way with pens and pencils. And if you're an environmentalist who loves writing with pencils, you probably have a ton of mechanical pencils in your desk or backpack. One mechanical pencil saves wood for two and a half normal pencils, so you can know you're doing the planet a favor and helping to take care of it. BiC is one of the leading brands of pens and pencils and I am pleased to see that they still have the mechanical pencils I grew up writing with, and these even sparkle! So go stock up on them and feel great about yourself.

[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 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.

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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I gave these pencils 4 stars as they are really nice however they come with just a tiny piece of lead so I had to go out and buy more lead right away which isnt really a problem, these would be great got school or at home and they are really sparkly! My 11 year old granddaughter loves them! They are made of really great quality and the lead does last awhile.
