Welcome to Bionic Beauty’s 2009 Charity Auctions!!

115 comments

This year’s auctions will benefit the Genesis House and Karma Dogs. 100% of all monies received by the auctions will go straight to these charities (I do keep the exact amount out to cover shipping, since I’m not rich… unfortunately, sigh). This is YOUR chance to grab some truly amazing makeup, skin care, hair care, spa and beauty products for super discounts!

First, here’s a bit about the charities that are close to my heart…

Saving Dogs and Serving People - Karma Dogs non-profit organizationKarma Dogs: Believing that one good turn deserves another, Karma Dogs is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that seeks to improve the lives of others through relationships with therapy dogs. Our primary functions include improving literacy skills among elementary school students and working with children and adults with developmental disabilities to improve communication and socialization skills. Finally, we want everyone to enjoy dogs as much as we do and teach children how to be safe and responsible around dogs.

Genesis House Women's Shelter in Melbourne, FloridaGenesis House of Melbourne, FL: It is the mission of Genesis House, Inc. to provide safe shelter for homeless pregnant women, transitional shelter for homeless mothers and their children, and long-term housing for student mothers with their children while the mothers complete their education. Genesis House, Inc. is committed to providing a safe, supportive, caring environment. Education, self-discipline, self-reliance, and independence from the welfare system are earnestly promoted. Counseling, personal improvement classes, and appropriate health care are obtained for all residents. Classes in childbirth and parenting are provided as needed.

How to Bid…

  1. Leave a comment below with which Auction Package(s) you’re bidding on and how much you are bidding. Please don’t leave your mailing address below (for security’s sake). Check the bids before and after yours- and feel free to comment back with an updated bid!
  2. Optional: If you’d rather grab the package, click the Buy Now button. You’ll still pay just a fraction of the actual value but you don’t have to worry about missing your chance for a package you really want!
  3. If you are the highest bidder, I’ll email you.
  4. Payments will be made through Paypal. You do not have to have a Paypal account to pay through this method. You can still pay using any major credit card.
  5. Sorry, but due to fees and other logistics, bidding is only open to USA residents.

How to Donate…
I know that the economy has been tough on us all, so if you’d rather just donate some pocket change, please use the donate button below. I’ll include your donation with the rest of the monies collected by Bionic Beauty readers.

**Some notes: I decided to hold these auctions here on Bionic Beauty since most auction sites charge extra fees and I wanted as much money to go to the charities as possible.
Please tell your friends and family and whomever else would be interested in bidding on the beauty goodies. The more, the merrier!
Once all the charity auctions are completed, I will post the donation certificate showing our collective donation raised by the Bionic Beauty readers. I will split the money raised between Karma Dogs and Genesis House. That way you’ll know the money is going where it’s supposed to. :)

Wow! I am so blown away by the generosity of those bidding! I can tell you Karma Dogs appreciates every penny! We don’t have a staff, but are a small army of volunteers work very hard to help kids appreciate dogs (and other pets) while helping kids overcome a multitude of problems. What comes around, goes around!

In ref. to #9–ybf–I really want to see someone new win it. This package is unbelieveable and no one would be disappointed.
Look at the value ladies, this is more ybf than even I have…..

So I’m hoping someone else will get it but if it’s not up to over $100 b4 the end, it’s a slap in the face to ybf!!!!!!

So then I may just tease you guy’s and threaten to bid!!!

FYI- I have paid $150 just for .5 oz. of correct in the past……that is how good it is. It’s smell’s like Amaretto to Me…….and it doesn’t burn even the gentlest eye’s……..if someone win’s and is disappointed, I’ll up the ante and offer to buy the rest of it if you win it, try it and are not satisfied! (No, I am not a ybf double agent!!!) heh heh

Let the bidding war’s begin!!!! May the most deserving win!!!!!!
I promise to refrain from sniping anyone bidding over $100!!!!!!

Smile’s
