Honestly, I really like this album. It comes with a lot of different extras and has such a bright, fun space amusement park vibe. On top of that, they created 2 different versions at 2 different price points to appeal to multiple different wallets. Most of all, it has stickers!

If you want to watch me fangirl, I do also post reactions over on my YouTube Channel. I have posted one for Yoona’s Summer Night, which you can watch below:

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!
