it’s a decent product, smooth application, however, it’s more glitter than highlighter. You can find better highlighters for a cheaper price than the $28 price tag....definitely a highlighter...i do want to emphasize how powerful this highlighter is. you don't need to dip in much for even a strong or bold highlighter look. i would say the actual quality of the highlighter definitely isn't bad, but you could find plenty of other highlighters (drugstore even) that are just as good quality if not better. the packaging is definitely high quality though, definitely the only thing that would set it aside from most other highlighters. nothing special, but also nothing bad.
