Every woman I know likes her hair to shine. But when you’re feeling a bit dull in the locks department, turn to YY’s Sweetgum Spray On Shine.

You all know I’ve had great experience with the YY line so far, and this product is no exception. Sweetgum is perfect to tame flyaways, weather frizz, and to add shine after styling. I use a few mists each day after I flat iron. It doesn’t add weight, just a nice shine.

Sweetgum contains Baobab oil for conditioning and Neroli, Sandalwood, and Basil for fragrances.

Sweetgum Spray On Shine is $24 for a 4 ounce spray bottle. This should last you many months! Pick it up at Y-Y’s online website.

Ever wonder if your horoscope had anything to do with your makeup and color choices? Total Beauty has given us a full workup on makeup by your zodiac sign. Pretty cool, huh?! I guess I never gave it a second thought, but the results really seemed to fit with me being a Capricorn.

My result: Brown. Tee hee! It really is my favorite eyeshadow color since it’s so versatile. I can wear a little for just a quick look or REALLY glam it up with glitter and liner and smoked out eyes. But I still love my purples and greens (and well navy and gold and just about every other color of the rainbow. Ha!).

And if you’re really a horoscope fan, grab your full (and FREE!!!) natal chart from Cafe Astrology. Gala Darling introduced me to this website and now I’m hooked! Just in case you’re wondering (gee, I’m sure you are) my Sun is in Capricorn, Moon in Virgo, my Mercury & Mars are in Capricorn, and my Saturn is in Leo.

Ladies… what’s *your* sign and do you think the eyeshadow color suggested by Total Beauty fits?

Happy 2009 ladies! Dina Fierro, the creator and gorgeous mind behind Eye 4 Style steps in as the very first Powerful Beauty guest for the new year.

I love Bionic Beauty’s tagline of Achieve Powerful Beauty because the idea can mean such different things to different women. For ME, it means embracing your individuality. For example, I am naturally quite fair and instead of tanning - or even sunless tanning - I slather on buckets of SPF and stay pale year round. Cookie cutter beauty just doesn’t do it for me. Know what’s unique about YOU and learn to love it!

Dina’s contribution are words to live by. Through 2008, my goal was to step out of myself- reach beyond my normal thoughts of beauty. When I did, by dyeing my hair crazy colors (blue, purple, etc), I found that my self-confidence actually went through the roof. Turns out you can’t walk into a room meekly when you’re sporting shiny blue locks. So I learned to rock whatever look I’m wearing. Whether it’s my naturally uber pale skin like Dina, odd hair color, or heck- just sweatpants… rock it!

As part of the new offerings at Bionic Beauty for 2009, I have launched a gallery! This area of the Bionic Beauty website will be there to show off the beauty of YOU! Since Bionic Beauty would be nothing without my readers, I hope this will give you a section to see and get to know each other, and even show off a bit.
You can visit the gallery at this address: http://bionic-beauty.com/bionic-beauty-gallery/
I’ve also added a link to the Gallery in the upper left sidebar.

Wait no longer… send me those pictures!!

Happy almost-2009 Bionic Beauties!! What are your BIG plans for the night? Are you toasting with a special someone; staying warm at home; dancing it up at a club or party; watching the ball drop on the telly? Anyone writing special resolutions or goals tonight?

I’ll be spending the last evening of 2008 at home in semi-warm Florida. We usually hang with family, eat some yummiful food and enjoy some bubbly to welcome the New Year. After that I crash for my beauty sleep. Ha!

Whatever your plans tonight… enjoy them safely. I wish you all the best and see you in 2009!
