Highlighter Comparison - ABH, Benefit and Mac Highlighters

Firstly, can I just say, I’m sat here curled up in a blanket. A fricking Blanket. That is how cold I am, and its nearly bloody may. Anyway you guys don’t need to know about my blogging conditions because today I'm here to talk about Highlighters.
