hello it's seo from tbhstudying and today, i'm here to show you guys
what's in my pencil case after about eight months of being on my stationery no buy.
so my pencil case itself is the delde sunstar slim pencil case in the color pink. on the side i have
this friendship bracelet that my friend sophie made me and this resin shaker that my friend
winnie made me. i'll link winnie's instagram if you're interested in seeing more of her work and
sophie doesn't really have an instagram showcasing her bracelets but i will link everything down in
the description below if you're interested. so if we open everything up, it's a pencil case
that expands and has magnetic flaps so you can open it like a tray. you can see that right there.
i scattered the stars thinking that they would be a cute background but i'm not gonna lie,
they keep sticking to my fingers so um at least i tried for the aesthetic this time, guys. the first
thing i have here is a tombow mono correction tape. this is a correction tube that i've used
for years now, since high school, and i like it because you can sort of push this gray protective
bit over the tape so that it doesn't tear or rip inside your pencil case. because i use a lot of
pens when writing my notes i find that this is really useful and important while taking notes,
i can quickly just erase any mistakes i make and just write over it. and then next i have a stabilo
pink highlighter. honestly this is not the best highlighter in my opinion because it's very inky
and often bleeds through paper but i'm trying to use up the ink inside of it and get as much use
out of it as i can. however the color that this is is very pretty. it's like this pale unique
sort of shade of pink that i don't see very often. i think i've only seen this kind of soft, muted,
even pink in maybe like one other highlighter from korea so i feel like this is a nice mild pink.
next i have these staedtler triplus textsurfers. these are highlighters that are shaped with this
conical tip but they're flexible enough such that you can use them as sort of a flexible
brush pen, you can use them as a marker, you can use them as a highlighter. i really like these
because they're so multi-purpose in their uses and i really like the colors that they offer,
but unfortunately i'm starting to run out of ink in this brown one because i use it so often, so
i'm gonna have to wait another few months before i can repurchase this since i'm on my no buy.
i also have this pink one right here. the staedtler pink
is similar to the stabilo pink if you're looking for a similar alternative that isn't
quite as bright or neon as traditional pink highlighters or that kind of bright pastel
pink that the mildliners have. speaking of which i also have the mildliner in green
and it's a pretty standard studytube, studyblr favorite. you see these around everywhere
and they're fine. don't get me wrong, they do offer a unique range of colors but now that
there are more highlighters available on the market, i'm not so sure if this is the best
highlighter anymore. there's just such a wide variety of pastel highlighters out now.
this is the uni propus soft color highlighter. like the mildliner, it has two ends but the unique
thing about this one is that there's a window in the tip. honestly i don't use the window that
much but i like that this highlighter has far less bleed through than the mildliners do but there's
a far more limited range of colors for the uni propus compared to the mildliners
and then the last highlighter i have is the essenti soft highlighter from monami.
monami is a korean brand and i think jetpens offers these now but before they were kind
of hard to get in the u.s. i bought this while i was on my trip in korea a couple years ago.
it's a nice highlighter, kind of inky, but it's a lot less inky than the stabilo boss one. overall,
it's a fine highlighter. i switch up the highlighter colors depending on the colors i want
to use in my notes. typically i'll use these for my bullet journal and then i use this green one
for bio, this blue and purple one for chemistry, and then i use this for every other class
and i'll just switch these out depending on how i'm feeling or what i'm trying to use up
at the time, so those are my highlighters. this is the muji 0.5 mechanical pencil.
it's a simple mechanical pencil, the grip isn't anything too special to write home about
and honestly i feel like this is easily breakable. like it doesn't feel as durable compared to
other mechanical pencils that i've had but it's reliable, it's fine, and it's okay for daily use.
next i have pens i use a lot in my bullet journals for outlining and drawing. this one is the live
color pen from monami and i got this in korea. it has two tips: one is thick and one is thin.
and then next we have the sharpie pen fineliner. this isn't a like a permanent marker,
this is like a fineliner pen. i really like this because it doesn't smudge,
it doesn't smear, and it also works well with highlighter, so this is one of my favorites
and this is a pigma micron PN pen. i think that's the size? essentially it's one of the sakura pens
but rather than having like a flimsy tip, it's sort of more of a conical shape while still
having the same fineliner style and i really like these pens overall for outlining, drawing,
making graphs. these are just really useful and honestly i don't need to have all three
of my pencil case because they all kind of serve the same purpose but i do just like keeping them
around with me. next is my brush pen. this is the pentel fude touch in gray. it's a small slim brush
pen that i think is really great for beginners. it has like a nice flexibility to it without
wearing down as easily compared to the tombow duo brush pens and overall during my no buy,
i'm trying to make my way through all the fude touch pens that i have. i have a ton of the gray
brush pens because i use these all the time but i'm trying to run through all my backups and use
them up and give them the love that they deserve. currently i've used up around two of these and
this is my third gray pen. it's not that they run out of ink quickly. it's just that i have a lot of
open brush pens that i use halfway and then i forget about them and then i open up a new one so
i'm trying to cut down on that by like really focusing on one until i use it up and then moving
on to the next one. i have my gel pens. these two are the zebra sarasa vintage gel pens in 0.5 mm.
these are probably my favorite colored gel pens right now because they offer a very nice
muted color selection without being overly bright or overly dark. i like that i can use them
in diagrams and in notes without having them like pop too much. i just really like this range
and this is a new addition to my stationery collection. this is a sharpie s gel pen in
0.38 mm. i had to buy this while i was at home because i used up every single black pen
i had at my house and the three black pens that i currently have left in my collection are in my
college dorm and storage right now so i had to buy these because i really needed a black pen to use.
overall my impressions on this are fairly good. like the sharpie fineliner pen this highlights
very well, there's no smearing, there's no smudging. i will say that there's some sort
of scratchiness to the tip. it's hard to describe but when you write with it on paper there's sort
of like this resistance to the paper as you write that makes for a nice tactile sensation when you
write on paper, but i can see why it might not be for everyone. if you do get this pen, i recommend
putting some sort of like paper underneath the paper you're writing on to sort of cushion the
pressure you put down on the pen and to reduce the scratchy feeling on it but overall this is
a pretty good gel pen that is easily available at supermarkets and then the last thing in my
pencil case is the muji black eraser and this is a small one. it's an eraser, it works, it's not the
best eraser but then again i'm not as picky with erasers as i am with pens or pencils so it does
its job and that's all i really have to say about it. this is all i have in my pencil bag currently.
and overall i think my no buy -- i talked about this before in my update video -- but i think my
no buy has really taught me how long certain things last and what i really tend to use on
a day-to-day basis and i'm trying to cut down on the number of highlighters i carry around because
i'm starting to realize that i use black pens far far more than i ever do any of my colored products
so i'm gonna try and minimize this pack down so by the end of 2021 hopefully,
i can reduce the amount of things i carry around with me and just really have a curated selection
of things that i know that i'll use on a daily basis. that's all i've got, thank you so much for
watching and i hope this was an enjoyable video! let me know what you have in your pencil case,
what you tend to carry around and until then, i will see you in the next video. bye-bye!
