You are not alone. I am MUCH more excited for Blue Storm, but I am anxious to see the lipsticks in this collection. I have enough empties for 4 lipsticks, so I will most likely get atleast 2 from Smoke Signals, possibly 3. I will probably get Silver Fog Pigment cause I have a sample, and love it and am running low. I was going to get the coral blush, but I may pass on it after seeing swatches. I think I might be too fair for it. The only other things on my list are the kohl powers, but I think I will either love them and want all 4 in both collections, or hate them and leave with none. I am secretly hoping for that latter. LOL!

Yeah, I was expecting more too. I'm gonna check out the blushes cause they seem interesting, as well as the lip stuff, but I'm way more excited about Blue Storm then this one. But who knows. All will come to light when the collection comes out.

I agree, I can't justify purchasing the quads. The black with gold flecks sounds nice in theory, and I don't have rondelle, (which I totally want), but otherwise, I have all the other colors. How close are rondelle and crystal avalanche?

I am definitely going to get the Smoking Eyes quad!! Holy crap this is the collection for me! I think I can get away with the coral blush as well and probably the khols and most of the lippies. I am not going to bother with the other quad, I have so many silver coloured pigments now I can probably duplicate the silver e/s in that quad, but the rest is for me

I kept debating about getting a quad, and I still might, but in the end I keep coming back to the same thing that kept keeping me from purchasing the Smoked Palette at Christmas: I could probbably put together my own similar quad with shadows I like rather than purchase the whole thing for one or two colors I don't normally have access to which I may or may not end up using.

On the other hand, will I still be kicking myself half a year later the way I've been kicking myself for not purchasing the Smoked palette for myself when I had the chance?

That's a really good question. From the pictures it lookes lighter and flatter, like it has less depth and warmth. I like the way Blunt works so well for such a wide range of skintones, but Emote looks like it will be too light for me to do anything with.

I want the super pale lipstick from this collection, I just hope it's really opaque because my lips are pretty instense on their own (i.e. I want some kind of lipstick to mute that).

I'm really excited about all the stuff with Red Pearl. I LOOOOOVE red in make-up!!

My freestanding had both of the quads on display (for promotional purposes only - damn them!) when I went in last Friday. They are SOOOO much prettier in person, I was surprised. I keep telling myself that I can only get ONE of them, but they are both GORGEOUS. So we'll see

I will def be getting the Smoking Eyes quad though.

My counter was getting a display ready, so I got to gawk at some of the products. The quads look nice, especially Gentle Fume, but the kohl power didn't seem very soft.

And Wildfire wasn't black with red pearl! Wildfire looked like a slightly darker, slightly plummier version of Atmospheric l/g from Blue Storm.

The pigments don't look right at all, the ones I saw on display are muuuch darker.

Yeah, the first ones looks more like Vanilla and Kitschmas, no hints of Dark Soul and Smoke Signal at all...
