Monami Essenti Soft Highlighter Pen - Pastel Blue

I adore the color of this. The tip seems like standard highlighter fare, and in my experience it's pretty smooth and doesn't smear text easily. However, I think the color is slightly darker and significantly more saturated than what is displayed in the image here. It's a lovely minty green, and it is quite mild, but it's not AS mild as it's shown IMO. The photo looks like it has too much flash, honestly.

This is currently my favorite highlighter. The color is a beautiful sea-foam-- greenish-blue, like a drastically calmer shade of teal. Very nice. It's easy to see the text under the ink.

I prefer the tips of Tombow Kay Coat highlighters, but these are the standard tips and will work just fine. If you're looking for cool and exotic highlighter colors, I recommend Tombow Kay Coat Yellow Ochre and Salmon Red, as well as this one from Monami.

It's a very light purple. Great if you're highlighting notes that aren't too dark.

Soft color accentuates but not overpowers text. Dries quickly. The outer paint does chip off from the body easily.

I've been using it for 2 days now and it seems that the highlighter has gotten smother, and isn't as scratchy as was two days ago, now that I've finished breaking it in.

There's nothing wrong with this highlighter. It works perfectly, and better than most one dollar highlighters.

The colour is soft and rich.

I'm definitively going to stock on some more now that school will start again pretty soon.

Get this- You wont regret it, though at first when the ink isn't settled the highlighter will feel kind of odd and scratchy.
