Silk Naturals

Hello!! For those of you who wear Heavenly Glow, I'm actually wondering if you ever wore (or maybe still wear??) Burt's Bees Blushing Creme in the color "Tenderness" before it was discontinued? I'm wondering how Heavenly would compare as a blush to BB's Tenderness. Tenderness is my favorite blush color of all time, and I have been looking for YEARS for a mineral match, but haven't come up with it yet. Heavenly looks pretty darned close as it shows up on my computer screen, unless it is pinker than it looks...either way, it would be beautiful, but OH how I'm going to miss my Tenderness when it's gone!!! TIA!!!!

Have not tried "Tenderness" but I use Heavenly Glow.

It is not pink, not gold, but really both. I think it kind of has a bronze or copper look to it rather than a peach tone. And it is shimmery - gives me a really tan look, very much a bronzer but very pink for a bronzer.

Hope that makes sense and that others can help further!

Heavenly is very glowy- probably a little over the top for a blush- but you could probably "cut" it with Perfecting Powder and have enough to last you years. The other option is that if you can track some down I can try to clone it.

Thank you for this great description!!!

Oh, wow, this would be fantastic!!! I still have some left at the bottom of the tin, and I can mail it out to you if that's ok!!! Your talent at cloning (and of course at making creatively original colors!!) is amazing!!!

Ok. I got my Heavenly sample SOOOO fast, I might add, and it really, really, really is close in color to the BB's Tenderness blush I've loved for years. Heavenly is just...glowier. Honestly, the color is basically perfect if I apply it very lightly with my SN blush brush (the little dual fiber brush). There's just a bit more glow than a blush would have. So I think I can go with Karen's idea of mixing a bit of Heavenly with some Perfecting Powder, and possibly get something that really is just about a perfect match!! The color from the photo of Heavenly is really true to life (at least on my monitor), so I'm really happy!!!

Oh that's good to hear! I was a little nervous about cloning your last little tiny bit of blush. Heavenly is ALL pigment- so the sample should last you a long long time.
