In my cart now I have samples of:
Tart
Satisfied
Babydoll
Climax
And a full size of Cosmic
any other samples I *must* have? Are Tart/Babydoll/Cosmic too similar to have both?
Thanks!

My two cents - Tart is cooler (more purple-ish?) than either Cosmic or Babydoll, so I think it is different enough to try. However, on me, Babydoll is similar to Cosmic, so if you are wanting to try a spectrum of different colors, I'd swap it out with something else. Ditto with Climax and Satisfied - they are the same color, Satisfied is just a more pigmented version. So if you are pale, go with Climax, any deeper, I'd try Satisfied - but do try one or the other, as the color *is* fantastic.
Other shades to try (IMO) - Forbidden (an apple red, gives me that rosy Just-in-from-the-cold look) and Carnal (looks a bit scary in the jar, but is amazing on) and I personally love Lady for a neutral rose shade.

I agree on the Climax/Satisfied........
My sister who is fair loves Climax, but I am in the light range and I prefer Satisfied. Afterglow is very similar, too, but in the Vegan formula.

If you are warm toned, try palace! I know its super scary looking but it looks so great on warm skin

Also galaxy is really really pretty on warm skin! It gives a really nice flushed look (in a good way! i realize flushed may not sound good haha more of the just in from the look!
This was of absolutely no help if you dont have a warm skintone..lol i'm sorry!

I ordered samples of Charming and Desert Plum, and love them both.
Desert Plum is sort of similar to EDM's Plum Dust, a pink with mauve undertones, or a mauve with pink undertones. Really pretty, though not absolute must have love.
Charming, on the other hand, is my absolute favourite blush ever! It is this really gorgeous pink pink, that turns my pale cheeks into blushing doll cheeks just like that. There might be a hint of glitter/sheen to it but so subtle that you cannot really see it. A light touch of this blush and my face is just transformed from boring pale to glowing and full of life. It looks really, really scary pink in the jar, but as said, it is my favourite blush ever.

Embrace is another one that looks VSIJ (very scary in jar), but is surprisingly wearable.
Tart and Tart Light are great for a pure pink. Haven't tried Cosmic, so that one I can't vouch for. Babydoll and Charming both have a bit of red in them - primarily pink, but if you're looking for pure pink, go with Tart or Tart Light.

From the few samples I have . . .
I think the vegan formula works better for my skin, and I currently love Desert Plum (a color that I never thought would work) and Foxxy. I also like Apple.
Of the regular colors, I have to wear Stardust every so often--it is just the perfect peachie-pink for me. A nice, natural flush that is not too bright. I also love Wish You Were Here. If you get those two, you have to get Mirabelle lip gloss, too!
Babydoll is a pretty pink flush, as well.

Lovelace is wonderful too! A light warm peachy colour with a slight shimmer.
I tried tart light, which looks scary but it's really flattering. Just my 2cents.

I'm also starting my blush collection so I haven't tried many. But from the few that I've tried so far, you must get a sample of Carnal and Cider. Carnal is a deeper version of Desert Plum. It is such a beautiful color! I use it with a light hand with my fiber optic brush. Cider will give you beautiful healthy glow. It's kind of like a sun kissed blush. These blushes are my HG blushes.
