Believe by Justin Bieber // 2013 Signed Tour Exclusive Vinyl Picture Disc + Memories from the Believe Tour 10 Years Later ✨

-

Believe was the third album from Justin Bieber released in 2012, which served as a follow-up to his breakthrough debut albums, My World in 2009 and My World 2.0 in 2010. While I have loved a lot of the music he made after Believe and I have loved seeing his growth and evolution through the years, I will always consider this to be the best album Justin has ever released. He was absolutely in his prime during this album cycle and it was just such a fun time to be a fan. I played Believe on repeat for years and was the soundtrack of my life when I was thirteen years old. There are so many classics that hold so many memories for me. Some of his biggest hits came from this album, like "Boyfriend", "As Long As You Love Me", "Beauty and a Beat", and "Die In Your Arms", to name a few, all of which are still some of my favorite songs of his to this day. Believe also has a stacked lineup of featuring artists, like Nicki Minaj, Drake, Ludacris, and Big Sean. 

This exclusive vinyl pressing is one of my favorites in my entire record collection because it is an album that holds so much nostalgia for me. My dad found a pre-owned copy of this at our favorite local record store a few years ago. This is such a rare pressing and there really isn't too much information available online about it, but from my research, it was limited to only 1,000 copies and sold exclusively through the VIP packages at the Believe Tour in 2013. That element of this vinyl release is so special because the Believe Tour is first Justin Bieber show I ever went to and have the most amazing memories associated with it.

It is a double picture disc, one disc with a colored version of the standard album cover and the other is the black and white deluxe edition cover. It features a hand-signed insert, which I love, because at the time it was my first signed vinyl and first Justin Bieber signature I had in my collection. It's one of my favorite and most sentimental albums I own, so it really means a lot to me! 

On this day 10 years ago, I saw Justin Bieber in concert for the first time in Philadelphia on the Believe Tour. At the time, it was my biggest dream to see Justin Bieber live, so it was beyond exciting when I was surprised with tickets for Christmas to see him. I have been lucky enough to see so many of my favorite artists live in concert through the years and seeing Justin Bieber will always hold a special place in my heart as one of the best shows I've seen. I remember when he came on stage I had literal tears in my eyes during the entire first song, "All Around the World". It was definitely the height of my Bieber Fever! It was such a great night, one that I still look back on to this day with the best memories.

He also put on such a well-produced and choreographed performance, there were so many unique elements to the show that I have never really seen any other performer do before or since. In the beginning, he dramatically came out on stage lowered down on giant angel wings made of guitars, drums, and keyboards. At another point in the show, he sang acoustically while circling around the top of the arena on a crane platform. Every design aspect of the show was so well done, from the stage and the costumes, to the lighting and pyrotechnics - it was such a memorable show. 

I was supposed to see him again last summer in New York City, which was sadly cancelled at the last minute only a couple of days before the show, after being rescheduled several times over the span of two years. I hope he tours again one day so I have the chance to see him again! He is such an amazing performer!

Thanks for reading! I am always open for suggestions on what you would like to see next in my vinyl series!

I have so much Justin Bieber vinyl in my collection, so if there is any other albums or specific pressings you want to see or hear more about, let me know! I am looking forward to sharing more of my record collection with you in future posts!

ARIANA GRANDE GOD IS A WOMAN FRAGRANCE REVIEW

When all is said and done, you'll believe God is a Woman!  I absolutely love all of the  fragrances   Ariana Grande  has released over the years, so when I found out that she was coming out with another I was so excited! Her song " God is a Woman " is also so iconic and one of my all-time favorites, so that made me look forward to it even more. I have been using it consistently for several months so I will able to give the most in-depth review I possibly can of this product. In the United States , God is a Woman  is sold exclusively at Ulta in three sizes; 1 oz for $45, 1.7 oz for $55, and 3.4 oz for $65. A travel size bottle is also available for $24. This pricing is consistent throughout the rest of Ariana's fragrances, so if you were looking to purchase another scent this is the range to expect. It is also available internationally at select retailers. God is a Woman  is cruelty free, 100% vegan and made with clean ingredients that are 91% naturally der...

SAFIYA NYGAARD x COLOURPOP COLLECTION REVIEW 🦇♥

-
Image
For my first post of  the new year, I wanted to share my thoughts on one of my favorite makeup releases, the Safiya Nygaard x Colourpop collection ! Safiya is one of my favorite YouTubers and Colourpop is my favorite makeup brand, so this is a really exciting collaboration!  Safiya consistently makes a variety of really high quality and interesting videos that mainly focus on beauty and fashion. I admire how much time and research she puts into what she does, all of the work that is put into these videos really shows in the finished product. If you haven't watched her channel before, I really can't recommend it enough!  In August 2017, she started a series called " bad makeup science ", which is the basis of this new Colourpop lipstick collection. There are 6 lipstick shades that correlate with a shade she created in one of her videos. You can check out the playlist of videos that inspired her collection here . I recently re-watched the whole series again...

My Thoughts on the Gigi Hadid x Maybelline Collection

-
Image
credit :  twitter.com/gigihadid Gigi Hadid has been the face of Maybelline for about 2 years and has been apart of several campaigns for the brand. I was really excited when I initially heard that Gigi and Maybelline collaborated on a full collection. I assumed that I would be able to recreate Gigi's makeup looks for less, but that just isn't the case. Today, I'm going to be giving my opinions on this collection to help you further determine if you should spend your money on it. The biggest gripe I have with this collection is that it is far too overpriced for Maybelline products. I have been noticing that some drugstore brands have been increasing the price of their new products, but I don't understand why since many times the brands aren't doing anything different to justify the large increase in the price. Maybelline does make some of my favorite products, especially when it comes to concealer and mascara, but they have also made really poor quality ...

Maybelline Fit Me Dewy & Smooth: Review

-
Image
⋆I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. As always, all opinions are my own.⋆ I have no prior experience trying either primer or foundation, so I really have nothing to compare these products to. In my makeup routine I only ever used concealer, which I mentioned in my previous review of the Colourpop No Filter Concealer . I was very excited to receive the Maybelline Master Prime Hydrate + Smooth Primer, as well as the Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation courtesy of Influenster !  Master Prime Hydrate + Smooth Primer As I previously mentioned, I have never tried any primers at all, because I always just had the feeling that it was gimmicky and doesn't really do anything to prolong your makeup.  I have tested this primer out several times and I don't really think it does anything for my skin besides add an unnecessary extra layer of product. I have not experienced this clogging my pores, giving...

HIT ME HARD AND SOFT (isolated vocals) by Billie Eilish // 2024 Record Store Day Exclusive Vinyl

-
Image
Happy Record Store Day! One of my most anticipated releases for the Black Friday drop this year was a special version of Billie Eilish 's incredible album HIT ME HARD AND SOFT , which features only her isolated vocals. You can only slightly hear parts of the instrumentals in the background because she recorded the songs without headphones, but this variant of the album puts a major emphasis on only her gorgeous vocals. It's a really cool concept, it almost sounds like you're in the studio with her hearing it recorded live.  There is so much depth to her vocal comps with all of the hidden vocals and ad libs that are hidden underneath the production. There are so many small details that otherwise get buried in each song that now get the chance to fully shine. Billie and Finneas ' creative process is so fascinating, and this record give a glimpse into the way all of these songs came together. An album like HIT ME HARD AND SOFT  is meticulously produced and every layer is s...
