A “Day Glamour” makeup look and product reviews

Bionic Beauty

Today is a two-fer… part makeup look, and part product review. Using some new makeup products (at least new to me), I created a simple, and perfect-for-everyday glamorous makeup look.
For the makeup look, I used…

Bionic’s Olympian pedi nail art

Bionic Beauty

I got into the Olympic spirit these last few weeks and decided an Olympic themed-pedicure would help even further. I used Vancouver’s Olympic color scheme of greens, blues, whites and teals blended with arches, mountains, a various other graphics. Of course, since toe nails aren’t the largest canvas out there, things came out a bit [...]

Makeup Look: In the woods

Makeup look by the Bionic Beauty blog - brown and green eyeshadows

Off to the Blue Lagoon makeup look

Deep Blue eye makeup look

I recently got a few of the Milani Runway Eyes Wet/Dry eye shadows from CVS and absolutely adore them. They can be applied as a soft wash or deep color. In the package it looks much too glittery for day wear, but once you rub the top layer off, it’s not nearly as shimmery! I [...]

Bionic Reviews Barry M Cosmetics’ nail polish and eyeshadow

Barry M Cosmetics nail polish in Mint Green

I was recently introduced to Barry M Cosmetics when they sent me a few products to test out. I hadn’t heard of them before, but unlike many people, I enjoy that. I love finding brands that are a bit “lesser known”.
Let’s start with a little background on Barry M. Their tagline is “The most colourful [...]
