Okay, so I finally got my hands on these aesthetic gradient sticky notes everyone's been raving about. Here's my honest take!

First off, the colors are GORGEOUS. Like, Instagram-worthy pastel gradients that make my desk look like a Pinterest board. The packaging was cute too—even came with a little 'thank you' note (nice touch!).

But y'all... the sticking situation? Tragic. These babies slide off surfaces faster than my motivation on a Monday morning. My fridge? Nope. Laptop? Forget it. Had to use tape which kinda defeats the whole 'sticky' note concept.

The paper quality is actually decent—smooth for writing and holds ink well. At $4.99 for 12 pads, it's a steal if you're just using them as decorative paper scraps.

Verdict: 3/5 stars ⭐⭐⭐ They're basically the VSCO girl of stationery—super pretty to look at but not actually functional. Would rebuy for the aesthetics alone though!
