There are some struggles that only women will ever fully understand. From the disaster of lip gloss on a breezy day to the eternal battle of squeezing into tight clothes, these everyday moments define the beauty (and chaos) of womanhood. Whether you’ve attempted a professional makeup look that turned out… less than professional or fought with your hair on a humid day, you’re not alone. Here are some of the most relatable, awkward things that every woman has faced at least once in her life.
1. The Lip Gloss & Wind Catastrophe
It’s a tale as old as time: you’re feeling fabulous with your freshly applied lip gloss, and then a gust of wind turns your hair into an instant sticky mess. Suddenly, your beautiful locks are glued to your lips, and no amount of graceful manoeuvring can save you. The worst part? You probably just reapplied it.
2. The Dream vs Reality of Hair Rollers
The idea of waking up to luscious, bouncy curls sounds fantastic. The reality? Uncomfortable sleep, tangled hair, and curls that either vanish within an hour or look more like a bird’s nest than a salon blowout. But hey, at least we tried!
3. The “Professional” Makeup Attempt
We’ve all seen those flawless makeup tutorials and thought, I can totally do that! Spoiler alert: we can’t. What starts as a smoky eye often ends in a raccoon-like disaster, and that ‘natural glow’ ends up being more of a shiny, sweaty mess. Some things are best left to the professionals.
4. The Thick Hair Struggle
Thick hair is a blessing… and a nightmare. Sure, it looks gorgeous, but washing, drying, and styling it? That’s an Olympic-level workout. Detangling takes hours, and don’t even get us started on the battle of finding a hair tie that won’t snap in half.
5. The Endless Bottle Dilemma
Shampoo always runs out before conditioner. Foundation finishes before setting spray. One eyeliner vanishes while the other remains untouched. Somehow, beauty products never run out at the same time, leaving us in a constant state of imbalance and last-minute shopping trips.
6. The Struggle of Tight Clothes
We’ve all been there—finding an outfit that looks stunning on the hanger, only to realise it fits way tighter than expected. Cue the awkward dance of trying to squeeze into it, while also contemplating whether we really need to breathe tonight.
7. The Ultimate Confidence Boost
Yes, beauty can be painful, but sometimes, it’s so worth it. Whether it’s that perfect outfit or a killer pair of heels, the confidence boost is unbeatable. Who cares if those shoes hurt? They make us look amazing, and that’s all that matters.
8. The “I Hate Wells” Mystery Let’s be honest, no one really knows what this means, but somehow, we all relate. Maybe it’s about stepping in puddles with the wrong shoes or struggling with deep sinks when washing our hands. Whatever it is, it’s definitely one of those unspoken frustrations we just accept.
