Cristal Fun

This is the second pack I ordered and had not initially realised the nib is covered with a little waxy blob to stop the ink drying out - so you need to remove the little waxy blob then the ink flows smooth and bright. I love Bic pens, they are great quality, last ages and you can write comfortably for hours - but now in these gorgeous colours I love Bic pens even more :) I would highly recommend them - they are fab pens that don't let you down and don't smudge - great stuff!

Nice colours

Love a mixture of coloured pens. Easy to write with

These pens are lovely to write with! They glide over the paper - aren't scratchy like some biros - and the ink isn't smudgey. The colours are strong on the page (not washed out like some pastel pens can be) and the pack is excellent value for money.

Love these pens, the best quality. Cheapest prices ive found for these pens. Prime delivery never fails. Very happy!

Another dependable Bic pen. These caught my eye due to the different colours available. I'm fed up of the standard black or blue. These are billed as thicker lines, but to be honest I do not notice any difference in the size so far. The colour of the inks are strong and vibrant, and they have a smooth writing experience. As long as these pens last long, I think I will be buying them again. IF you looking for a biro with nicer colours, I recommend these.

I am a loyal BIC lover, only occasionally straying to paperm*te. The flow and smoothness of the ballpoint is so satisfying. Especially if you’re a bit of a heavy handed writer like me, these pens can take the pressure. These colours are very good, nicely pigmented, good for adding emphasis to notes or just making your writing feel more exciting! The pink & blue are particularly pretty. The green is a nice shade of green, it has almost a metallic hue. The purple is probably my least favourite, but there’s nothing wrong with it it’s just a bit dull for me. These work on those “transparent” sticky note types :)

This pack of BIC Cristal Fun Ball pens arrives from Amazon in one of their brown cardboard packages. I chose the set of ten for £3 rather than the set of four for £2.99 as it seemed a no-brainer value wise. There is an option for twenty pens for just under £5 and these are available on the Amazon Subscribe and Save programme so you can get them delivered every month (or whichever frequency you choose) at a discount. The pens are in unusual and bright colours rather than the normal black, blue, red and green. In the ten pack set you receive three pink, three baby blue, two purple and two green. They are very similar to any other BIC ball point pens in shape and size but obviously the ink is different. The lids and the end of the pens are colour matched to indicate the shade. The ten pack contains the pens in a plastic wrapper and the twenty pack is boxed. How do they work? Well. To start I was a little confused as I could not get them to work. I tried the usual tricks of doing ticks and squiggles and still no luck. Believing that the chances of all ten being duds, I persevered and noticed there was a blob of something on the end of each ball point. I removed this blob and the pen works. All have this blob so I presume it is to prevent the ink from drying? There is no reference to this on the packaging. Now I am up and running – or writing – with the pens, I love them. They are fun and bright and don’t seem to smudge or anything. I love them.
