I tried to DIY wax my nose hairs using cotton buds but it didn’t go well at all and hurt so much
A WOMAN left her social media followers in hysterics when she shared how she’d had a major waxing mishap.
TikToker Abbie had been attempting to wax her nose hairs using hot wax and cotton buds – which were supposed to make the removal process easier.
But as she recorded the beauty tutorial for her sister on Snapchat, Abbie discovered that they weren’t so much of a help.
In the video clip reposted to her TikTok account @itsyagirlabbs, Abbie can be seen standing with the cotton buds hanging out of each nostril.
She then goes to remove one – but ends up open-mouthed when only the stick comes away, leaving the bud still up in her nostril.
As it dawns on her what has happened, Abbie breaks into fits of giggles.
She then goes to pull it out, before she tells her sister: “Oh no, oh no… it’s stuck!”
Panic then sets in as she tries to work out how to remove the tip of the bud, and she repeats again: “Oh my gosh, it’s stuck!”
She continues: “What do I do?
“Oh my gosh, I’m freaking out because I can’t breathe.”
She then likens the bud to “feeling like a big booger”, and deems the situation “terrible.”
Still struggling to remove the bud, Abbie then decides to remove the other one from her nostril – only for exactly the same thing to happen.
As she laughs at the shock for a second time, Abbie admits she’s putting on a brave face, as she adds: “It hurts so much.”
The camera then cuts off, and luckily, she went on to remove them both safely once she’d stopped filming.
In a follow-up video, she explained: “I honestly wasn’t thinking, I genuinely was just wanting to wax my eyebrows and I was like, you know what? My nose is looking a little, a little hairy.”
Abbie then shared how she had to use force to get them out saying she ended up “just having to get up in there with my fingers and I just like ripped it”.
And it seems she’s learned her lesson, as American Abbie then titled the video “don’t use cotton tip q-tips to wax your nostrils.”
Meanwhile, her social media followers said they couldn’t believe what they’d just watched and that they really felt for her.
One typed: “This gave me straight anxiety.
“I stopped breathing from my nose like it was stuck in mine.”
A second person added: “Whew. I started panicking for you.”
But others said they were glad she saw the funny side, as it had entertained them too.
One wrote: “The way I just burst out laughing when you pulled out the second one.”
A second said: “I didn’t expect for them to be stuck, the second one took me out.”
