Wonder how my hair's going to turn out? Have just put purple and plum semipermanent highlights in some of the highlights.

Will see how it looks later, and as I splashed out on some distressed jeans that were on sale, a black longsleeved top on sale and some really pale foundation from the goth shop (as even MAC is too orange/dark for me, I'm combining some Garnier BB cream I won a couple of weeks ago with the powder to see if I can get a match), I should look [strike]good[/strike] less horrific than usual with my DMs, full makeup and attitude.


Wish I looked like the girls in the goth shop. They're all about 24 and look gorgeous. But they are lovely - one calls me Mummy Goth, because I'm old and cool and has, to Minion's shock, told her that she's lucky to have such a cool Mum!

You do sound like a pretty cool mum! Teenager Perni would have loved you, you sound like my ex's mum, who I actually really miss...:o lol.

Your hair sounds great by the way, how are you finding Garnier's BB cream? I have tried it too but am not 100% happy with it, I think it's a little too orange considering it's meant to be a BB cream! Might just order a real BB cream from ebay to compare the difference, as I think the Garnier one is just like a tinted moisturiser.
