Photo Results From My Third Nose Job

It has been a week since my cast came off and I am so relieved to tell you that everything turned out fantastically. My first impression when they handed me the mirror was that it looked puffy. Then I looked closer and thought 'Is one nostril now slightly bigger than the other? and 'Are my nostrils more flared?'. Even though I've been through this 3 times, it's still a shock to...

DIY Quickie: Drying Your Makeup Brushes

(images via cap1tol.tumblr.com, shewearsphotoshop.tumblr.com, eliagracia.tumblr.com) 

Not too long ago, I confessed my worst beauty secret: I almost never clean my brushes. However, I recently invested in a stippling brush for my foundation, so I've been trying to take better care of my brushes. Instead of just purchasing cheapies upon cheapies and tossing them when they're dirty,...

Beauty Talk with The Bachelor Canada: How to Make a Good First Impression

When I got asked to attend the Bachelor Canada brunch hosted by Rimmel London Canada, I figured that I would be staring starry-eyed at a good looking man for an hour or so, and I was right! But I also picked up some notes from the Canadian Bachelor himself, Brad Smith. The first ever all-Canadian Bachelor had a goal (besides finding love, obviously) to break boundaries with a reality television...

I Just Had My Third Rhinoplasty

This is exactly how I look with my cast on, only more glamorous.

The surgery is over and I am still alive.  I'm also high.  The drugs they used to put me under are pretty intense.  When I walked into the room to have my surgery I was literally trembling with fear.  And I cried.  And considered throwing up.  All I remember is the good doctor saying, "Let's get...

Contests and Prizes: October 15 - 21

I've mentioned this before, but Halloween is probably my favourite holiday. Well, alright, I have a lot of favourite holidays and Halloween is definitely in the top 5. I'm already in the Halloween spirit! By that, I mean I have purchased a bag of fun size chocolates. But seriously, there is no holiday that is more fun than Halloween. So with that in mind, I wanted to make sure that...

Review of the Week: Lipstick (October 15-21)

I've spoken before about the power of a lipstick colour. How it can transform a basic look and how a neutral, minimal made up face can be made instantly chicer with the addition of some colour to your lips. Kind of an 'off duty model' type of deal. 

Of course, with all the lipsticks out there it's important to find one that gives you what you need. Whether it's an intense...

Staff 'Most Worn' Fashion and Beauty Items: Alexandra

My friends tell me that I tend to obsess over things until I overdose. I prefer to think of it as just being really into something. Nevertheless, they are (somewhat) right. It happens every season or so. I become fascinated with certain styles, looks or fashions and I wear nothing else until I hit my limit and get that itch to completely refresh my closet. 

In light of this, I thought I would...

My Battle for a Better Nose (and why I'm on round 3)

Third time's the charm, right?  I'm counting on that.

Plastic surgery isn't something I've ever really approved of because I've heard too many horror stories.  Generally, unless you have a horn growing out of your forehead or a nose that doubles your facial square footage, I think you should leave well enough alone.  And yet, here I am, about to embark on round 3...
