I have these erasable highlighters to color code things like appointments and events --- they're amazing. You can also get them in bright colors, and they erase well.

For writing, I use these --- they're ballpoint, so they don't smear as much, and don't bleed through paper.

The Preppy is converted to an eye-dropper fill with Goulet’s highlighter kit. The Parallel has a cartridge converter installed. Both the Preppy and Parallel were filled with Noodler’s Firefly Yellow, which I picked specifically because it is an identical match to my regular highlighters (Sharpie Tank). I highlighted lines on a fairly thin page and scanned both the front and back in color so you can see the bleed through. I also included a black & white scan of the same front/back pages to demonstrate that the ink disappears like any standard bright yellow. I also have a photo of how the highlighters behave on handwritten text. (Spoiler alert: poorly.) I wrote on standard 20lb copy paper and left everything to dry for at least an hour. In all photos (I think), the order is Sharpie, Preppy, then Parallel.

I would prefer using the Sharpie--it has served me well, but it’s not refillable. (Actually, that’s an experiment for later.) I hope the Preppy will be an acceptable substitute, but I’m not entirely sure. It will certainly take a little more effort to make sure I don’t bleed through, to make sure I don’t break the pen, etc. But it might be worthwhile. I’m pretty sure once I run the Parallel empty, I’m not filling it back up with highlighter ink. It’s simply not workable for me.

Sharpie Pros:
-

• Mess free: even if I sliced it open, I probably wouldn’t get much ink on myself/desk
  
• Durable
  
• Drier line: less paper wrinkling, less smearing, less bleed
  
• Broad tip, but still able to produce a fine line (but the least fine of the 3)
  
• Angled tip: hand is in a more natural position
  
• Soft tip: glides on page, more forgiving of being at weird angles, not going to rip anything
  
• Postable
  
• One marker draws approximately 835.3 feet of line
  
  \ Methodology:
  Take new Sharpie, highlight across notebook paper, note number of lines on page. Repeat until highlighter is dry. Total line count x page width.
  Fitting about 1.5 highlights per wide rule line, I averaged 50 lines per page. I got through 13.5 pages, though it was pretty clear on the last page or two that the highlighter was running low. I recapped the highlighter and left it point down for a few hours to eke the last bit of ink out. I quit around where I wouldn’t use it for highlighting anymore.
  
  Sharpie Cons:
  -
  
• Rolls around
  
• Fat (does not fit in a lot of pen slots)
  
• Made to be thrown out (I’m planning on trying to refill it, but haven’t started experimenting)
  
  Preppy Pros:
  -
  
• Eyedropper refillable, can use bottled ink
  
• Can use highlighter cartridges, too
  
• Holds a freaking ton of ink (but I have not been able to measure ink consumption very accurately, yet)
  
• Cheap
  
• Replaceable tip
  
• Angled tip
  
• Soft tip
  
• Can produce a finer line for underlining
  
• Does not roll
  
• Postable
  
• Visible ink level
  
• Normal sized pen
  
  Preppy Cons:
  -
  
• Wet line: have to make sure I don’t go too slow, and paper still may crinkle
  
• Narrow tip
  
• Not as durable: I have no qualms about chucking the Sharpie in a bag and banging it around, or accidentally stepping on it. I would not trust the Preppy plastic to hold up to a similar amount of abuse.
  
• If it does break and you have it converted to eyedropper fill, you run the risk of getting a lot of ink all over the place
  
  Parallel 3.8mm Pros:
  -
  
• Refillable
  
• Cartridge converter allows for use of bottled inks
  
• Looks to be more durable than Preppy
  
• Does not roll
  
• Fairly broad tip (still not as broad as the Sharpie)
  
• Super thin lines possible
  
  Parallel Cons:
  -
  
• More expensive
  
• Very hard to keep 100% contact with paper
  
• Awkward as hell writing angle
  
• Prone to skipping
  
• Sharp (to the paper, but not really likely to injure you)
  
• Have to highlight slowly
  
• Cartridge converter runs empty really fast
  
• Cartridge converter w/ agitator rattles and holds even less ink
  
• Cartridge converter w/o agitator prone to ink flow issues
  
• Can’t see ink levels without opening up pen
  
• Takes several turns to unscrew cap
  
• Cannot post
  
• Long as hell
  
• Tapered body makes it annoying to keep upright

These erasable highlighters were a game changer for me when reading patterns, they erase perfectly. Their erasable pens are amazing too.

PM me your info and I'll send a couple of boxes your way. Is it important that we stick to green, blue, and yellow? Or are you interested in the pink and orange highlighters as well?

These are cute and creative!

How about /u/notmaisiewilliams

It might not be what you looking for, but do you know about the Pelikan M205? It's a fountain pen that is kinda a mix between a fountain pen and a text marker. Of course the nib (BB) isn't as broad as your classic text marker but you can underline text with it.
I've got one myself and i am very pleased with it.

"A Bible that is falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t." —Charles Spurgeon

I highlight my Bible and write lots of notes in the margins. To highlight, I use the Zebrite Bible highlighter. It doesn't bleed through the pages, dries quickly, and doesn't make the pages stick to one another. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GIVLUAO/ref=sspa_dk_detail_3?psc=1&smid=A292PCWTU9U0US

For note taking I use the Pigma Micron 05 Medium Point Bible Note Pen. It's archival ink, so it doesn't fade and doesn't bleed through. No smears either. https://www.amazon.com/Pigma-Micron-Medium-Point-Bible/dp/B007MHE93I/ref=sr_1_9?crid=1QNRX6ESJAE61&keywords=pigma+micron+05&qid=1555611227&s=gateway&sprefix=pigma+mi%2Caps%2C212&sr=8-9

Pretty sure it's based off one of these:

Your Faber-Castell clutch needs a Castell 9000 friend, I think. Could even get a jumbo version for extra posterity.

Or, most uni students need highlighters sooner or later-pencil versions look cool and last longer....

I love my highlighters that have erasers! For use in textbooks, I use these: Pilot Frixion Light Fluorescent Ink Erasable Highlighter Pen and for plain ole paper I use these: Erasable Highlighters With Chisel Tips

pentel superb bk77: (https://www.amazon.ca/Pentel-Superb-0-7mm-0-25mm-Black/dp/B002782EQG)

but what if she has pink undertones???
edit: use this one OP. I'm pretty sure NYX makes a dupe if that's too expensive, but I only use the most high-end makeups possible so you'll have to find it yourself.

also BIC Brite Liner Flex Tip Highlighter, Assorted Colors, 3-Count isnt available except from 3rd party sellers. if you can replace that with an alternate one that ships from amazon, i can get it for you

Eh. You can find prices that don't make sense for just about anything online.

Edit: Ok, here's proof for the downvoters.

Pilot frixion erasable highlighters! I like the muted colors because then it doesn't feel like the words of law are stabbing my eyes at 2am...

You'll just have to find out for yourself for the low low price of "Are you kidding me I can get like 30 mechanical pencils for that! :-)

These work well for me:

These are the ones I bought.

Sharpie highlighters and Le Pen pens are my everything. I'm realizing now that I hate myself for having a favorite highlighter and pen brand...

I can't find the original comment but I saw someone here recommend these:

[Pilot Highlighter Frixion Light, 6 Soft Color Set (SFL-60SL-6CS) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F6N56F0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_L9dzybBMHVDQ5](Pilot Highlighter Frixion Light, 6 Soft Color Set (SFL-60SL-6CS) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F6N56F0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_L9dzybBMHVDQ5)


I bought them and have no complaints. They're erasable too so that's neat (and I think that's why they don't seem to bleed into the paper).
