WHSmith 4 Highlighters
Being a student I tend to go a bit mad with purchases of stationary. I bought a pack of these four highlighters as I had a money off voucher for WH Smiths.
The four pens come in 'standard' highlighter colours (yellow, orange, green and pink)... I have to admit I do have a preference for blue and purple, but these seem to only come in larger packs.
These pens have a nice slanted tip - which seems to be the norm for highlighters, and they come in a nice comfortable to hold rounded shape. The pens have 'highlighted' well, and haven't made it difficult to read the text that has been coloured, and there have been no issues with bleeding.
The pens haven't run out particularly quickly but I have to admit that this is the end of the positive things I can say about these pens. The pens cost £4 for four. This really is not good value for money, I have bought packs of 6 or even 10 from the poundshop for less...
Unless you buy the really expensive refillable highlighter pens they seem to be fairly standard quality, and I would suggest buying ones that you find comfortable to hold.
I did only buy these as I had a voucher to redeem, but I can't recommend them as they are so expensive for a small pack of standard quality highlighter pens.
