The full intent of the purchase, the photo, the captions... all with the mindset that it's an infallible investment. This is where the pricing insanity lives in the world of wax and is completely smoke and mirrors in my opinion because of previously stated reasons.

I see that as wishful thinking so I really can't begrudge it, but of course you need a lot more than a couple boxes to hit anything so I don't think a mishmash of all different products is the best strategy.
