Is this the classic blonde WOODEN pencil that has been made by Mary Kay for 20+ years?

No it is NOT. I ordered and thought by looking at the displayed picture with the silver top that I was getting the great one that you are inquiring about. I don't know what to Mary Kay that they would discontinue to "Old" wooden one that we used to get. This new line is not even the nice blonde color they once had.

I wish I could help you, but I purchased the pencils as a gift for my children in college. They like them.

Yes it is. My daughter used this until she was 17 and was able to do different intricate designs with no problems.

The original pencils are Blackwing 602, they are a dark green color. Then there are new versions with a slightly softer lead called Palamino Blackwing pencils which come in Black or in White. They are very good pencils. Be sure to read the description to get the color you want.

Yes. There are a lot of blues and a few different shades of browns too. There are different types of greens too. This is the reason why I bought this set of pencils, because of all the different types of colors.

I am still looking for some thing as easy to use. Most brow pencils have to be sharpened, which is messy and wasteful. The Maybelline Expert Wear was automatic and could be used "to the last drop". I'm really sad that they stopped making it. Mary Ann

It is more like a pencil as it has a thinner point, but the texture of a crayon. It has a sharpener at the other end. I've used this for years and can't find it in the stores anymore, so bought a bunch on Amazon.

I have one of those Lancome pencils from about 10 years ago and I just tested it with the NYX Sharpener for you -- works great! It also does a fantastic job on the skinny pencils from: Avon, NYX, Prestige and Flirt! (from Kohl's). I don't use/have fat pencils to list any brands here. My only regret about purchasing this little tool is not having gotten TWO to keep eyes and lips separate!!

I still have the pencil and I bought it six months ago. It is in excellent condition except for the squishy grip. The grip has changed colour after long use.

Sorry, I've never used either of those others. Blackwing is a soft black pencil.

Yes, it has a medium gloss to it, and very smooth. I would think it's made out of the same plastic that the shiny grey nibs are made of - They have the same hardness such that neither scratches each other. You will actually feel no friction through the nib onto your drawing pad, which is a kind of jarring feeling compared to how scratchy it originally was.

We had the same type (circa 1950's) sharpener when I was a kid. That is what brought us looking for this one. Hope you like it just as much as we do!

This item is durable, but the grip was discoloured after too much use. This item is VERY easy to use. The dimensions are the same as a normal pencil.I truly recommend this item.

I wouldn't think so. It is the same thing as the lead in a common wood lead pencil that kids have been chewing on for many decades with no harm to them. Might be a different story with it wet because graphic is dry so it has to have some else in the product.

Yes, the colors are true to the picture. The eraser end has a yellow cap and there is a green-yellow ring at the lead mechanism. It is a great mech pencil, the leads are hard and do not break. Good luck, & hope you like it.
