1st impression - "I wanted the OPI Polish!  Thank goodness I didn't buy it yet!  YAY!!!"

Almost forgot the candle....

This box included:

JK Rowling - "The Casual Vacancy" - RV $35

Pirate's Booty Aged White Cheddar Puffed Rice and Corn - RV $2.50

Crescent Moon Grippy Socks - RV $9.99

& Red Flower Petal Topped Candle - RV $38.00

TOTAL ESTIMATED VALUE:  $105.22

MY COST: $37.36

A closer look at the products:

1.  JK Rowling - "The Casual Vacancy" - (2 stars) - I'll be honest, I wasn't a Harry Potter fan and I really didn't have any desire to read this book.  I put it on Listia and it was gone w/in an hour for gobs of points.

2.  Pirate's Booty Aged White Cheddar Puffed Rice and Corn - (5 stars) - A great size and it tasted great!  I just bought some of this at Kroger this week.  LOVE it!

3 & 4.  Clear Scalp and Hair Beauty Therapy & Conditioner - (5 stars) - I had never heard of this brand before, but it works like a charm.  It smells great and leaves my hair shiny and feeling soft.  It's very affordable too!  I'd buy this in the future.

5.  Dylan's Candy Bar Gummy Worms - (4 stars) - These were good, but I wouldn't go seek them out.  This was a good sample size though and if you have a Dylan's Candy Bar store near you, they're worth buying.  

6.  OPI Pink of Hearts Nail Polish Duo - (5 stars) - I LOVE this set!  I was planning on buying it anyway, and then it came in this box.  The pink is beautiful and the shimmery pink is gorgeous.  Would definitely recommend this duo!

7.  Crescent Moon Grippy Socks - (5 stars) - I wanted these as soon as I saw them on the PopSugar workout DVD a few months ago.  They're soft and work great!  I would definitely buy these in the future!

8. Red Flower Petal Topped Candle - (4 stars) - I'm not a flower fan in general, but this candle was beautiful and unique.  I would buy them in the future if they had a cinnamon scented one or something other than a flower.

The final verdict:  4 stars!!  I was surprised by how much lower the value of this box was compared to previous months.  I still loved the Pirates Booty, shampoo and conditioner, OPI polish set, and grippy socks though.  This box is definitely worth the money and is definitely one of my favorites.  Again, I LOVED trying all these products (8 items/products in all).  Despite the lower value this month, I would definitely recommend the PopSugar box to everyone!!
