Babydoll/Tart/Cosmic all run in a similar vein, so someone else should chime in here, but I'm not sure you need them all.
I have Stardust, Cosmic, and Gemini and love them all--Cosmic is a real stunner.

No you don't...you'll never use up 10 full sizes if you order them all at once. I "make do" with Babydoll, and Stardust for the true pinks- after that um, yeah there are a handfull of others that I can't live without- Carnal, Maybe Baby, Flirt, Climax. I wear Tart Light on occasion- but more and more I'm hooked on the Stardust.

Btw, is Stardust more of a cool or warm?? Warm blushes tend to turn orange on me in a bad way!!

Stardust is kinda both...not really orange, but there's a little bit of gold in it. I'm a Libra- I like to balance things...
Sample though- the blushes are really concentrated, and on fair skin I can get a sample to last quite a while (a week or so). Just a few grains does it, and it's a nice way to get a "fix" without breaking the bank in one shot.

Cosmic is my fave so far!
You don't need 10 full size blushes because since they have silk in them, they do have a shelf life, so you don't want to stock up, and have them expire on you. If you feel like you want to try them all, maybe get a couple of ones you think you will love, and get the rest in sample.
Maybe someone else can clue us in on how long they are good for....

The blushes that contain silk are good for at least 2 years.....
We do have Vegan blushes that will be good for longer than that if you do not use the jar lid or sifter for picking up product with your brush. I also think the color products (eyeshadows and blushes) from here out will be formulated without silk since we introduced our Vegan Line. That way we can offer the widest range of color products without overlap.

If you're cool, try a sample of Stardust first. I can't wear it - it's not orange, but it's too peachy or something on me. Lots of cool-toned gals can wear it fine, though. But on me it's peach.
My pink is Tart Light. That's blue-based cooler than cool pink, so no worries on the orange or peach account.
