hello! it's seo from tbhstudying, and i'm here with a video inspired by project pan
no buy and low buy and declutter from beauty youtube. here are a series
of the stationery that i used up over the past few years
i've already done a stationery declutter which i forgot to film and i gave them away on my
instagram a long time ago. i just thought it might nice to pop in,
give you guys my opinion on the product, and whether or not i would repurchase it
with that, let's begin!
the first pen is the uniball signo um-151 gel pens. these used to be one of my
favorite pens back when i first started studyblr because of its consistent ink flow,
good grip, and archival-quality ink, meaning that it won't fade over time
they do smear under highlighters if you add a lot of pressure
and anything above 0.38 will be inky and thicker than expected, which is what i found
with my 0.5 pen. i also found the needle point to be scratchier than the conical tip
i would repurchase this pen, but i'm currently trying to get through more of my current pens
next is the pentel multi-pen in the limited edition botanical design
i used the pentel energel refills in here so the writing experience and ink quality
is pretty much the same as the energels. however, the thing i wanna point out
with this pen is how nice, pretty, and smooth the barrel is
it's slim enough to fit in my hand and it's lightweight
i find that a lot of multi-pens can get really bulky or too thick in my hand but this
one doesn't. the ink does run out faster because the refill is slimmer and smaller
and it's more expensive per pen refill, but it's convenient to have a multi-pen if
you don't want a lot of pens in your pencil bag. i would repurchase the refills for this after using up
some of my other pens but i wanna try some other refills
the zebra sarasa gel pens are my current favorite gel pen
the ink flow is consistent, the clip is sturdy and actually functional,
and the refills often work for other retractable pen barrels like
the original muji retractable pen and the pentel energel
the vintage sarasa pens are my favorites because of their unique, muted colors
and i would definitely repurchase them but i'm working through a lot of them right now
the pentel energel pens used to be my favorites back in 2018 and i used them
every day for lecture notes. they have a smooth ink flow, they dry very quickly
and they don't smear under highlighters and they're also easily accessible
in american supermarkets. however, they write as grey on top of correction tape
and the 0.5 size only comes in needle point pens. the permanent pentel energel
in 0.5 does come in a conical tip and doesn't write as much of a grey on top of correction tape
compared to the original but it skips too much for me to use regularly
i wouldn't repurchase it because of the correction tape issue
next up are the muji pens
i have a lot of different kinds, from their capped gel ink pens,
the original retractable pens, and their discontinued hexagonal pens.
they're very popular, aesthetic, and relatively inexpensive if you buy them in-store.
however, the ink can be inconsistent, doesn't dry down as quickly, and smears under highlighters
out of their stationery products, i prefer muji notebooks and paper products over their pens
they've discontinued some of their pen designs and redesigned their pens, at least in the US
next is the sharpie fineliner pens
it's not the permanent marker, but rather, the fineliner pen with the porous point tip
because it doesn't smear under highlighters and brush pens, unlike other fineliner pens on the markets,
it's one of my favorites. it's what i use to outline my drawings and doodles in my bullet journals
for years. i'll repurchase this once i run out of my other ones because i don't have a pen
that quite performs like this one
mildliners are the most popular studyblr highlighter, but it's definitely not the only pastel highlighter
on the market. i find that this behaves more like a marker rather than a highlighter
especially for the darker colors. it's nice to have two different tips and the color range is really extensive
but the highlighter tips do wear down and fray very quickly
i wouldn't repurchase this because i want to try other highlighters on the market
ooh, this is a rough one. the pilot juice pens and juice up pens are some of my least favorite pens
because the ink tends to skip and railroad really badly
the tip of the pen also rattles when i write, which is really annoying since it happens all the time
and the grip of the pen isn't as nice as other pens like the sarasa pens
i just wouldn't repurchase this at all
the pilot frixion pens and highlighters are up next
the highlighter has the lightest pastel colors that i've seen from a pastel highlighter
but the black pen and black marker aren't true blacks. they're more of a dark grey
they erase easily, but they'll erase themselves if you leave them in a hot car or
next to a heater because the ink is heat-activated
you can re-activate it by putting them in the freezer, but then, it'll bring back everything, including
your mistakes, and this isn't good for standardized tests
i wouldn't repurchase the pens, but i'd be interested in trying more of the marker colors
now, these are what i categorize as "supermarket pens"
because they're available and accessible in american supermarkets, at least for me
the pilot precise v-5 is a rollerball pen that i wouldn't repurchase because
1. it's a needle-point pen, 2. the ink flow isn't consistent
and 3. the ink tends to blob and smear more and it just bleeds paper more easily
the uniball signo 207 is another pen i got because i thought it might be a more accessible version
of the uniball signo um-151s but this one skips constantly and the
papermate inkjoy gel pens are absolutely terrible in the 0.7 version but the 0.5 version is fine
out of these, i'd repurchase the inkjoy gel pens if i didn't have too many pens already
and i wouldn't repurchase the rest
the uniball jetstream is a ballpoint pen, and in general, i don't like ballpoint pens
however, these are good and consistent and they last longer than gel pens
these aren't my favorites in regards to overall pens
but it makes me want to try out more ballpoint pens like the pilot acroball or zebra surari
the 0.5 and 0.38 jetstreams look virtually the same on paper
and for me, the multi-pen skips far more than a normal single jetstream
so i would recommend the normal pen rather than the multi-pen
moving on from pens to other stationery items:
this is the malista correction tape. i bought this in korea because it was refillable
and retractable and because it was fairly cheap. however, it tears the correction tape
as it dispenses and sometimes tears through the paper itself
definitely, a "wouldn't repurchase" item
next are some sticker empties. cheyenne barton's stickers are good quality, environmentally friendly
and very cute. these are old paperkumaco stickers back when they were still printed on paper
and stickyriceco stickers are just regular matte paper stickers but still super cute
and these stickers from korea are fantastic quality and have excellent designs
aerilovelys is a newer sticker shop, but i really enjoy their sticker designs
the only ones i really wouldn't repurchase here are the stickers from korea
because the shipping would be exorbitantly expensive
that's all i got for you guys! thank you so much for watching, and hope this helped!
i'll see you in the next video, and bye!
