BLIEVE Gel Pens - Earthy, Matte Finish, Smooth Writing, No Bleed - For Journaling, Bible Notes, Drawing - Cute School Supplies, 8 Pack

Had these recommended to me by a coworker who is also a pen nerd, and they've become some of my favorites. First thing to note is that the "earthy" tones seem to be the only ones whose ink actually matches the color of the pen; the other packs all have black ink despite the colored pens. They write just as smoothly as some of my favorite rollerball gel pens (think Pilot G2s or Sharpie S Gels), but the ink dries incredibly fast, doesn't smear, and doesn't bleed through even the thinnest paper. Some of the earthy colors are pretty light/pastel and thus don't work very well if you need super bold text, but I'm really pleased with the quality. Just bought a second pack so I can have them both at home and at work.

These pens write so nicely! For reference, I am a total pen snob. These are the Cadillac of pens. If it was a shopping cart, it would be like a Target cart instead of Walmart's. They are enjoyable and the colors are pretty. They don't skip and flow nicely on paper. They are also comfortable to hold. The rubber grip is nice and not too squishy. The colors are nice, the lightest colors are a little too tan for my liking. However, that's just my personal preference. They came as pictured. I will definitely order these again in a variety of colors. Hopefully, they also come in all black. Note: I am a lefty. They do smear every once and a while but it is barely noticeable and my pinky isn't covered with ink. If they were "no smear" that would be even better.

The BLIEVE Gel Pens (Earthy Tones) are a dream for journaling and Bible note-taking! I love their smooth writing and vibrant, muted colors that add a calming, aesthetic touch to my notes and drawings. The fine point glides effortlessly, and the no-bleed feature is perfect for thin Bible pages, with only minimal shadowing. Pros: • Smooth, skip-free writing with vibrant earthy tones • No bleed-through, ideal for thin paper like Bible pages • Comfortable, lightweight design with a sleek matte finish • Perfect for journaling, note-taking, and creative drawing Cons: • One color (creamy yellow) can be pale on white paper, though readable in good light

These pens are super cute and I loved the colors of gel, I was able to use them just to see the color of the gel inside and none of them worked at all after that, no matter how hard I tried. I did not reach out to the seller because I purchased these in October of 2025 and have just now tried to use them as of May 2026.

I'm in law school and cannot learn from typing notes. I am a religious note taker, but also am HIGHLY specific about my note-taking materials. I had gone through two boxes of these pens (more aptly, three colors in particular). I bought another box, and two days into use and while in class one went kaputt. I am actually so weird about my note-taking that I simply could not use a different color pen for that day's notes; it would drive me insane. Again, I am broke law student, but I am SO weird about it all that I ordered a whole new set and typed my notes elsewhere for me to write into my notebook when I got the new pens (again, I ordered a whole new set for ONE color). While waiting, I tried the pen again, and it worked for a few minutes. I held out hope it would work. It did not. New package came, and had the SAME THING HAPPEN. I should also mention the same thing happened with another color (only a few days of use, stops working, kinda works, then no good at all). Law school is... a lot... and the amount you cover in one day is A LOT. I honestly got so far behind that I just ended up typing my notes in anticipation of getting the pens and then two unpleasant surprises that it became too much to transfer them to writing again. I have learning impairments that make my color coordination and whole system so so so important to me, this was actualyl a super huge bummer and really frustrating. The first set lasted an entire semester, the second 3/4 of a semester. The next two were trash. I love the colors, they were so smooth to use, I was SUCH a huge fan. I am so sad to need to find a replacement brand/set :(

Loved the colors, but they have dried out way too quickly. Even for gel pens. Edit to add that the company reached out to me directly to try to make the purchase right. I requested another pack of pens over a refund to test another batch. They have worked wonderfully compared to the original package! Very please with the customer service and the new product!

I rarely write reviews but... I'm hoping that if I write this review maybe I can help the cause of keeping the BEST Bible marking pens I've ever found in business! Couple these with the Mr. Pen Bible gel highlighters in the vintage earthy tines and you have a winning combo! I'm going to be adding the pastel colors to my collection. I look forward to my quiet time with Jesus every morning and these pens just add to that! They're super smooth, glide over the pages of my Bible easily, the colors are muted but highly pigmented and they just make me happy. 😊 I've tried several other brands and these are by far my favorite! I hope they don't stop making them and also add more fun colors!

Upon opening the pens, they were my favorite for novels in taking notes. However, these pens are not made for every single type of paper. Notebook paper they do not write well with. Because there are stoppers on the pins to stop them from bleeding upon usage, the writing becomes less pigmented in trying to take off. Not to mention the struggle of actually taking them off in order to write. They become streaky, not easy to use. They dry quickly and do not smear however it’s not worth the purchase for pens that do not write well. Some of the pens are smooth and others or not. The photo attached is the pen after rewriting the same wording three times.

The gel pens write smoothly with good color. i would purchase them again or if other color sets were offered.

LOVE LOVE LOVE these pens! Colours are stunning, they write beautifully without skipping too. I would definitely recommend these pens.

I was delighted to find these pens, which look great in my planner and journals and there's no bleed-through - just a very slight shadow on my Leuchtturm1917 planner (for reference).

I absolutely love these pens, the colours are 10/10 and the are very buttery and fluid to write with. My only complaint is that they do not last long. I've been using the pens for journaling in one specific journal - I counted the pages and one pen has lasted roughly about 20 pages in an A5 sized notebook with plenty of spacing in the writing so, not 20 "full" pages. I've used other pens in the past that have last much longer than these. I would consider buying these pens again if the price were lower, as I know the pens won't last as long. I paid $15.99 (with taxes it was almost $18) and I think that is a lot for pens with a short life span.

I love these colours and tones. Im an earth mama so i was drawn to them. The flow of the ink out of the pen isn't awesome. While writing the ink will just stop or be inconsitant.
