E.L.F. Skincare Has Arrived!

Good news Elf fans...they've just announced that they're launching a skincare line and of course, it's going to be super affordable, just like their makeup and brushes. Currently, there's a presale on the Elf Website so they're not available yet, and the thing that's sort of bumming me out is that out of the 10 products they're showing on the website, only 4 of them will be available in January.
Honestly, I'm finding their whole pre-sale process kind of annoying.  Here's how it works...

You choose the items you want and pre-order them.  Then in January, 4 out of the 10 skincare products (they don't tell you which ones) will ship out, with free shipping, to the people who placed pre-orders for them. So guess what? If you chose any of the 6 products that aren't part of that initial launch, you'll get nothing at all. So what happens with the other 6 products? Elf will use the pre-order data to decide which products got the most pre-orders and then will choose the most popular products to launch at a later date.  

I'm not a fan of this whole process, because they're getting people excited about products that they may or may not receive (and in fact, that they may not even launch if it doesn't get enough pre-orders). I say just launch them all now and see how it goes!

Anyway, here are the products and descriptions in no particular order:

What do you think of the ingredients?  They seem to be pretty straightforward and so many of them are repeated in many of the products like Jojoba, Vitamin E, Shea Butter, and Cucumber. They aren't groundbreaking ingredients by any means, but they're hydrating at the very least.
I don't know...I'm thinking I'll probably wait until these are officially for sale and see which products made the cut.  Then I'll place an order.  I just don't want to put items in my cart only to be disappointed if they don't show up. What about you guys?  What do you think of the whole presale process- fun or annoying?
