Wow, i can't wait for the quads! I'm a MAC newbie and don't have that many colours yet. Pigments sound good too. Oh hell, everything does.

I just have a feeling that everything in this collection is going to impress me. The colors in both quads make me happy. Wait, let me go double check the color story so I can have even more to look forward to next month

I saw swatches and they're just sort of blah...nothing we haven't seen before. I think they do well for the non-obssesed, but most of us already have the colors that are in the quads. I had hight hopes for smoking and would buy the quad just to get this color, but it didn't seem to great on the swatch. Of course, it could turn out awesome in person. The khol powers however seemed pretty. I don't remember about the lippies. Emote blush looks like it'll be good for contour, and Ablaze looked pretty nice. Anway, I'm not dying for this to come out. Sorry if any of this disappoints ya'll down...

The Khol Powers how are they exactly? Loose powder like Guerlain's??

Someone said a combo of the eye kohls and power point pencils... I guess a waterproof kohl would be most accurate. I can't wait to see them. I am usually a fluidline girl, but the color descriptions sound awesome!

the kohl powers are not waterproof, making them safe for use on the water line. they are pencils with a carbon base (black) with colored shimmer suspended in the carbon base. soft like the powerpoints, safe for water line like eye kohls.

Man I hope not. I think they just have a slight shimmer/irridescent thing going on.

After seeing the pics/swatches judymomocoa posted (i think that was her username), what is everyone's opinion of Smoke Signals pigment? The pic of it in the jar totally caught me by surprise because I didn't vision it like that whatsoever, and then the swatches caught me off guard again because I didn't expect it to be that purple! What do you all think?

I don't know whether it is my computer or what, but Smoke Signals pigment looks REALLY dark, almost black. I am getting a sample, but won't be getting a full jar like I planned. I could never get enough use out of it to warrant getting a fullsize. I am kind of happy about it though because that will leave more money for blue storm!!
