Velvet Cosmetics by Zoe Ayla Facial Jade Crystal Roller - Retail Value $65.00 (Found here for $9.97)
Ah, jade rollers. They had a really big moment a while back and still pop up from time to time. I really enjoy using the one I have every once in a while and it honestly helps with a myriad of things like depuffing and blood circulation while simply feeling decadent while rolling across my face. This also seems to be a tool that has a wildly large range of pricing. As the very name suggests, a jade roller is made from jade, but I wonder why some are $10 (or under) and some (like this one) are $65. While there are a lot of fakes out there, this one does say it's 100% authentic jade on the package and feels cool to the touch, so I believe it's real. Why it has a retail of $65 instead of $30 is a mystery though. From my experience, they all speak slightly and have similar metal hardware to this one. Since I have one already, I'll pass this on to a girlfriend who has yet to experience its spa-like ritual.

Laritzy Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Crush - Listed Value $22.00, Retail Value $20.00
This shade of matte lipstick is right up my alley. Laritzy isn't new to sub boxes, and I rarely see it anywhere else, but they offer nice colors that stay put. The only downside here is that the formula is suuuuuper dry, so you'll want to throw a balm on below or even a gloss topper if you're into that sort of thing. Otherwise, I love this deep rosey mauve.

Ettika That New Feeling Layered Necklace in Gold - Retail Value $75.00
Next, we have a piece of jewelry which I can be picky about. When Megan saw this she said it was like an "infinity scarf necklace" and I have to agree. It looks like it's been wrapped several times and has little gold balls and two rectangular accents at the bottom of each end. It's really just a few different chains connected at the back. This necklace is really cute, don't get me wrong. BUT I do not think there is a world where this is worth $75 since it's "nickel-free gold-tone-plated steel chain". It's really light in weight and doesn't really come off as high quality close up. Not mad at it, just think the price is way off.

Pirouline Dark Chocolate Creme Filled Wafers - Listed Value $5.00, Retail Value $1.00
I'm not hugely into sweets, but I can't resist wafers with cream filling in any form. These are filled with dark chocolate and although kinda messy and crumbly, taste delicious. I definitely snacked on these while watching some HBO and nearly at the whole thing in one sitting.

Manna Kadar Beauty Sea Minerals Renewing Body Butter, 180 g - Listed Value $24.00, Estimated Value $10.80 (Buy 400 g for $24.00)
Did y'all know Manna Kadar made body butter? I sure didn't. This smells really nice (floral) which is surprising since I normally don't go for scented things like this. I used this butter on my legs which get really dry after shaving and showering and it made them feel soft and moisturized. There is quite a bit in this tub to use even though it's not the full size. They added the full-size price on the info card though, so the value they have listed is off.

Headbands of Hope Grey Floral Knotted Headband - Listed Value $18.00, Retail Value $16.85
I'm familiar with Headbands of Hope since Rachel reviewed their subscription a while back. They are an inspiring company that gives back by donating a headband to a child with cancer for each item sold. I found this particular grey floral pattern super cute and thought I'd try to wear it to my next water aerobics class to keep my hair out of my face while in a little bun. It has a slight stretch to it which is great and I was able to knot it twice to keep it secure. Unfortunately for me, my hair never holds in any headbands or clips when I'm moving and it slowly slid out of my fine hair. I love how it looked though so I'll use it when washing my face at night.

Daily Concepts Multi-Functional Soap Sponge Charcoal - Listed Value $10.00, Retail Value $8.00 (found here for $5.00)
On the Daily Concepts site, this is listed for $8.00 but on Ulta, it's $5.00 without being on sale so this seems like an item that can be found for varying prices. The info card has it marked as $10 which just seems a bit much. Value aside, I love scrubby little bath items like this and was a fan of this the first time around in my shower. It's honestly quite abrasive at first, but with a lot of products like this, it softens over time with more water and whatnot. It decreases in hardness soon after the first use and becomes more spongey than soapy, but there is still quite a lot of charcoal soap still. I've been using this on areas of my body with rougher skin to exfoliate and get rid of "chicken skin" as my friend Ash calls it.
Verdict: My first SinglesSwag sent seven items that I really enjoyed! My only issue with this box is that the values seemed off. For $39.99, I think I got my money's worth, I'm just not convinced that the RV is as high as they say it is and that leaves me feeling a little skeptical. Seeing a jade roller in here would have been a bigger delight if I didn't already have a couple but the other beauty products are super useable for me. The necklace is cute but the value is way off IMO. With what I could find online, this box has a total retail value of $196.65 but I'm personally not 100% on board that the two highest values items are really worth what they are being sold for.
