I have them but never had to refill them yet. The red IS more red-ish, not purple... I'll check my pad and get back to you.
I actually have a different problem with that particular pad, maybe you can help.
I was using it the other day and the dark brown pad (don't remember the name) fell off of the plastic piece completely. It just separated from it.
Now, I'm wondering how to "glue" it back on? I wonder if crystal effects would work? I'm thinking about calling SU before I do anything because I don't want to ruin that pad. If they don't do anything, Maybe I'll try calling the manufacturer...??!?!!!
Anybody have this happen?
