waxcident

[waks•id•ent]
noun
definition
1. An unfortunate incident that happens when one is not careful when applying wax and ripping out hair.
word origin
In an attempt to save some time I cut a corner and used Trixie’s wax instead of my sugar to remove the excess hair from my eyebrows.  The first one was perfect and perhaps I got a bit cocky with the second because when I ripped off the strip so went the middle half of my eyebrow.
use in a sentence
Due to an unfortunate waxcident I now have to pencil in my eyebrow until it grows back.

    It was a fortunate waxcident for us, the best laugh I have had today…
    I wish you healthy, bushy, fast-growing eyebrows!

    Just don’t give yourself Joan Crawford eyebrows and you’re doing okay.
