I have been a big fan of BlackPink and their music since their debut. All of it is incredibly catchy and gets stuck in my head constantly. So, getting a copy of Born Pink The Second Studio Album was a no brainer. Keep reading to find out what comes with the album, my thoughts, and where you can pick up a copy.

I am obsessed with the looks in this album. All of the members look absolutely amazing. On top of that, I feel like YG really stepped up their game on the extras in this album. There are so many different types of extras in this album that it is definitely being added in a future edition of “Albums with Lots of Extras” (see my most recent one here).
If you want to watch me fangirl, I do also post reactions over on my YouTube Channel. I have posted one for BLACKPINK How You Like That, which you can watch below:
Where Can I Buy It?
You can get a copy of this at the following places:
- Music Plaza (I purchased mine here)
- Ebay (Can get Cashback with Rakuten)
- Amazon
- SubK Shop
If you want to see where I get almost all of the products I buy, you can see that here.
What is Rakuten?
Rakuten is a cashback site that gives you money for purchases you may have already made. They even have an extension for multiple browsers so when you go to a website that uses Rakuten, it will automatically pop up the cashback button to make sure you are saving money. I use this all the time, and I got over $80 back from them for purchases I was going to make anyway. That’s about 3 more albums I can buy!
If you’ve never used Rakuten before, you can use this link to get $10 when making a qualified purchase of $25 when using Rakuten. You will also get whatever percent cashback is being offered from the site you are purchasing from. Sephora, typically has 4% cashback, through here. Ulta typically has 3%. These are just some of the companies on the website, but there are other major retailers on there as well!
Rakuten also has a Google Chrome extension that will tell you as soon as you log onto a site that has cashback with a little pop-up in the corner so that you can ensure you are saving money!
