Silk Naturals

I just wanted to say that I absolutely adore Lovelace. It's such a gorgeous blush in terms of pigmentation and blendability.

I agree. It's my favorite blush! You look awesome, by the way!

Agreed also, it's my number 1. And yeah, love the new hair!

Thanks ladies! It's a nice change for me.

Change indeed, and it's lovely You could prolly wear green hair and pull it off!
BTW, how painful was the transition if you don't mind my asking? I've been coloring mine black for a very long time and I would like to end up medium auburn at one point. My colorist is going slowly, i'm mixing brown with red now, but she said there is no way I can get the black out immediately, just gotta do it step by step. I guess by 'no way' she meant 'unless you wanna fry off your hair'
Suggestions?

Well, keep in mind that for me it was easy because:
1. my natural hair color is dark, but I bleach up very easily
2. to get the blue-black look on my hair, I just put Jerome Russel Punky Color in Turquoise over all of my hair. This made my bleached streak vivid turquoise and the rest of my hair blue-black.
3. I used One n' Only color fix (without the processing lotion) to remove the punky color.

So I didn't have to remove permanent black dye.

My hair isn't fried, but I do condition it a lot.
I did a hair mask immediately after bleaching to make sure it would be ok.
I also used a bleach for sensitive scalp, and watched it closely.

I dyed my hair black once permanently, and got bored a month later. I wanted to take the black out but it took 6 months to grow/bleach it out. I was really unhappy, and that's why I ended up doing semi-permanent black after that. I like to change things too much to ever do permanent black again.

Aha! Yeah, ok, I'll just have to wait it out then

I don't get it but Lovelace does not show up on me at all. I need to redip my fiber optic brush for at least 4 times for each cheek.

Btw I envy you for being able to pull off hair colors. EN-VY.

This is also something I learned the hard way! I've been from platnium, to golden, to black and red-violet, to honey, to auburn, to black, back to honey, and now a deep coffee brown - in about 18 months! My hairdresser is only using semi's on my hair now also, and I think unless I'm bleaching in the future I will stick to it. My hair was in pretty bad condition and one app of a semi really filled up my cuticles and it's so soft and shiny now.
I also like to change my hair often!

Have you tried using a regular blush brush? I have to use a fair bit of Lovelace to get it to show up on me also but once you've used enough it's just so pretty. I also often layer it over a light base of either Petal, Poppy or Flare and that really helps the colour come through, Using a matte blush underneath helps maintain Lovelace's finish - which I find extra special compared to other SN blushes.

I sure have. It's just that I like using duo fiber optic brush for blushes and my regular blush brush has rarely seen the sunlight nowadays. Perhaps I'll try layering it with a matte blush. I have a huge love for WYWH and Poppy, though. It's the most beautiful blush color I have ever seen on me.
