I have no idea. Drake was a special release not sure if it was a one day only, and you now have to wait until Black Friday. Other's have stated they were denied purchasing it from stores. I saw a press release from TF stating Drake would be for sale on 10/30. I called the store I work with, they were aware of the early release of this Boy, sold it to me, and sent it off. I will admit, I no longer chase this stuff. I provide the product specialist I work with a list of what I desire. When it comes in, and is allowed to be sold, the order is filled. I don't chase it online. Nor do I schlep over to the store. Since it is free ship via real FedEx. Not the dumb post stuff.

Something Wild pulls orange on me. It is a amp up So Vain. The color is understated, but just a lovely office friendly berry/rose. So Vain on my is more a neutral on me. Think of Mac Heaux, without the frosty finish, and more rose then berry. If that makes sense. Not a blow your socks off color, but it does have color.

Do the dry patches only occur in certain areas? I agree with Ash, you may need to exfoliate and perhaps try moisturising with oil instead of a regular cream moisturiser and avoid putting mattifying primer in the trouble areas. @Monsy usually has great suggestions for oils to use for moisturising.

Yep, sides of my mouth. I will try the oil in those areas. Is there anything I can do about the patches mid-day when they appear, in the meantime?

I have found nothing works once they pop up. I had the issue with the inside corner of my eye lid. If I had no makeup on, it could not be seen. Once I put on foundation, then eye makeup, in a few hours it was there. I would attempt to apply to cover it up. Made it worse. Then I spoke to my doctor and he explained, it was not the makeup that was the issue. It was the products I was using to cleanse and/or moisturize my face. So I changed my cleanser, moisturizer, exfoliated 2 times a week and no problems since. Hope this helps.

So Vain is mauve, Drake is berry/rose. Brain is not working, hurt my leg hiking. Would love to chop it off about now, ugh.

A little housekeeping: I moved a few posts (the ones regarding jaykayes' foundation/skin woes) from this thread to Recommendations and made a new thread there out of them.

Yes, I own both colors. If you purchased the Chanel bronze from Holiday 2013, it is basically the same. Use the blackest mascara you own, let it set, then do several layers of the gold over the tips. Obviously, let it dry between layers. A pain, but it does look cool when you do it. I am in Sedona, bad service. When I get back to home base, I will swatch Drake and post.

Awesome, thanks! I do not have the Chanel bronze--in 2013 I basically just bought MAC haha. I'm going to pick up some new types of mascara in the Nordstrom 2 + 1 sale, so I'll look for something to go with this.

Sedona, Arizona? I hope it is gorgeous!

For a fun look not sure if it still being sold, please consider Dior pink mascara. It looks awesome when used over a black mascara. I have found the fun colors of mascara pop more when used as accents on the tips with black mascara. The Chanel Blue Note Jazzy mascara is fun too, as well as the 2013 Chanel summer collection when they offered the yellow, aqua, and I think 2 other colors. Color outside the lines, it will be fun, enjoy.

That's a very on point thing to say haha--I'm definitely a rule follower who colors in the lines. Gold tipped lashes will be adventurous for me.

I love the Chanel Blue Note mascara! The sparkles are beautiful. I even once did a black/teal graphic liner, and used a really really tiny liner brush and added the chanel mascara on top of the teal liner to give it dimension and sparkle. It was a beautiful effect! and stayed put nicely!

Cognac Sable? I figured that was one of their best sellers. I can't wait for new quads though. Ooh 1/6 is quite soon. I have to get ready. Thanks Ash!
