What I love about the Winter Special releases as a whole is that they are so simple, and clean. The 2015 release is no exception. Their outfits are clean, and well, wintery. They all look smoking. All men should wear turtlenecks like that!
Should you buy a copy of this album? If you are working on filling in EXO albums, yes. Should this be one of the first you buy? Not fill in all of their regular full albums first, then the Winter Special albums. In that order. Until that time, I highly recommend that you just stream it.
If you want to watch me fangirl, I do also post reactions on my YouTube Channel. I have posted one for EXO’s Baekhyun’s UN Village, 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!
