I have Solar and Orbit and both are stunning -- I think the set is absolutely worth getting, and will probably get the other two myself. Solar is one of the prettiest pale golds I've ever seen, and Orbit is a lovely, rich copper. I can't really help with anything else, unfortunately -- I'm quite new to SN.

I keep thinking Luxe, Legend, Orbit and Meteor will be too warm for you...we're both kind of pinky girls, and those just don't look fantastic on me. Solar and Vogue are both good, but the others are just a bit too warm. Maybe with your blue eyes though...hmmm.

Sprite and Fairy Dust are super fun colors- any of the morphing ones are just really fun to play with.

Yeah for some reason reds/oranges/yellows look really good with my eyes, I just have to make sure I do my face a certain way and leave my lips with just balm.

I'll have to go over my list all your ladies' suggestions, and make sure that those 4 are actually a set because I think I may just be dreaming on that one. If I don't like them, I have lots of friends I am trying to get onto SN xD

What about Brimstone and Bewitched?
I see neither of those are on your list but together they're my favourite combo...
I wore it today again and I can't say how gorgeous they are...
Everybody needs them imo.
At least check out the swatches!

Get Bone....dooooo itttttt..doooo ittttt. hahahah It's prefect for very basic neutral looks. Or just to even out your lid color. I love brimstone also, I agree with Pomi.

I've got to agree with the morph colours - they're great fun and they're really pretty, too.

What about the satin finish colors, such as cream, chic, posh, et. al. They're great neutrals and I love the soft finish. L.

I also really like Naughty and Plush which I use with Scallop Pink. :D

Always happy to enable.

eta: Uh oh, it looks like scallop pink may no longer be available.

I have lots of neutrals, so I'm going to order those last I think, after I have a huge collection of fun colours, and I have Aubergine so I thought I'd skip Bewitched (for now lol) Brimstone sounds good though!

So it comes down to Cruise/Eerie/Lake/Twilight for blues. I can pick only two. Keeping in mind which ones I have, what do you suggest?

In my cart I have for certain the Mixed Metals Palette, Smokey Plum Quad, Fete, Slick, Brimstone, Plush, and hopefully a Vogue/Meteor/Solar/Orbit kit.
