SEPHORA CANADA: New Natasha Denona Sunrise Eyeshadow Palette Launches June 3, 2019 + Swatches & Review by YouTuber Sonia – Marie

#glossense #soniamarie #natashadenona #sunrisepalette #sephoracanada #canadianbeauty #makeup #canada

Get excited; Natasha Denona’s NEW Sunrise Eyeshadow Palette is launching tomorrow, June 3, 2019! 😀

“A palette inspired by the warm glow of a morning sunrise, with sunny yellows, crimson corals, earthy browns, and powerful pinks, all made to melt together in perfect harmony.”

– $85 @ Sephora Canada

In the meantime, I’d like to introduce you to Sonia Marie, an amazing new Canadian YouTuber with a love for beauty. She’s got this super natural, candid quality that I just love!

Sonia was also one of the lucky few who happened to be in the right place, at the right time, when Sephora accidentally launched ND’s Sunrise palette a week early! 😮 Yep! She’s got it! 😀 Upon its arrival, she didn’t waste any time in releasing a first impressions video – and it’s a must-watch! 😉

Within her video, Sonia takes the time to share her experience with the palette; the formula and its blendability, she shows a size comparison in relation to Natasha Denona’s Sunset palette, provides shadow swatches, and even takes the time to compare similar shades. ❤

If you’re on the fence about buying, Sonia will have you changing your mind and wanting it. Sephora’s photos does the Sunrise palette no justice, so I highly recommend that you take the time to view her video before its release. It’s stunning!! 😮

Outside of YouTube, you can also find Sonia on Instagram. Currently, she’s doing a 30 Day Eyeshadow Challenge and it’s been so enjoyable to view her progression! This look (click to view) is so far my fav! 😍

They’re now resurfacing at Canadian Winners stores for only $7.99! 😮

The three shadows pictured above: Iggy, Electric Warrior and Danzig, were spotted earlier today; They were all that my local Winners had. But! There might be more out there lurking, so keep your eyes peeled and snag them before they’re gone for good!

EBATES.COM 15% BIRTHDAY CASH BACK EVENT: Retailers that ship to Canada; Canadians can save, too!

Ebates.com Canada 15% off Birthday Cash Back Event - Glossense

*phew* This took me allllll day to research and review, but I did it!

…So, let’s jump into it! 😀

If you’re not already aware, YES, Canadians can save at Ebates.com, too! 😀 I received my first cheque from Ebates.com this past week, and the best part? The money I earned was in USD; A cheque of only $10.96, became $13.70 CAD – and this was just from one order! 

Click here to join! Full disclosure: This is my referral link. By joining, and when you spend $25 USD or more, you’ll receive a bonus of $10 USD on your first purchase. Not bad, right? 😉

* “To qualify for a Welcome Bonus, you must be a new member and make minimum qualifying purchases totalling at least twenty-five dollars ($25) within ninety (90) days of becoming a Member.”

For those who may be skeptics:

Is my Ebates Canada account the same as my Ebates.com account?

No. If you already have an Ebates.com account, you can use the same email and password on Ebates.ca, but they are in fact, two separate accounts on two separate sites.
