pink glaze losing its pink

I made a pink glaze by adding some burgundy opulence to a glossy white
glaze (cone 6). Just right the first time I fired it. Next time I used
it, it was much lighter. I added more of the burgundy opulence and it
was pink again. Now, some time later, it's again lost its pink.

Any idea why and how I can keep this from happening. It was a nice
pink, a pink that looked great on a reddish clay the way some pinks look
super on redheads.

Thanks,
