Hello, While I have to do this a little more often than I would like, it is a great color and adds SHINE! Sadly, I was just told it is being discontinued. Anyone who use this have any thoughts?

I've used Color Gems a few times, because it was one of the few demi-permanents that was available at the time. I will not repurchase this for the following reason: no matter what color you use...

I used the clear color gems over my dark demi colored hair- hoping to preserve the color longer and add some gloss! What it did was LIGHTEN IT CONSIDERABLY and unevenly. I would not buy this again....
