Once in a blue moon, we’ll say, “I’m going to cut my hair,” or “I’m going to indulge and pay for a professional MUA to do my makeup.” But sometimes things don’t go according to plan, and the people we trust with our change seem to have 2 left hands. Imagine crying when you see your fresh haircut or makeup job, especially when you’ve paid your precious money for it.

“Coincidentally sneezing when it’s time for mascara — it never fails.”
