I have the above from your list, and a few others on order as samples and plush in full size. I love them all, Cashmere is one of my favourites. I just tried Idolize yesterday, did it with Moss it was a very nice Smokey eye look.

i think my list is like 38 colors. everything i haven't tried. lol

From your list I have:
Aztec- Nice Neutral
Bare-Great All over eye color alone or in combos
Brimstone-Great smokey eye shade
Cashmere-Very pretty pink
Dolce-So wearable and makes a great smoky eye
Luxe-I use this as a crease color but for some people it's too warm
Moonstone-Great Neutral
Plush-Hehehehe- it's just "pretty". Very similar to naughty in application actually. Pinky Purple shimmer
Quartzite-My favorite SN shadow. It's my staple. It's great by itself, great with just about everything else.
Sizzle-Really unique shade- sort of green
Terra-Great Neutral

Several of my faves in there, too. For some women Bare looks peacy, on me it's a nice beigy gold with a little bit of sheen.

Idolize - love it! Plush - SERIOUSLY under-rated, it is GORGEOUS STUFF.

Dolce - everybody needs this. I don't like most browns, but the way this one manages to be brown and gold and olive all at the same time without being over the top - yes! Usually like something goldy for a highlight colour with it, though any number of colours would work.

Cashmere is a fantastic go-to for those days when you want something nice and have two minutes to do your eye make up - it's a great wash. Luxe is the same, though it's a little warm on me if I use it alone - but they're both great colours to have.

Have fun with your haul! You'll be able to do some wonderful looks with it :)

I have several on your list also, and absolutely love them.
I tend to wear Quartzite, Cashmere, and Idolize on a regular basis, all make for good washes to pair with other colors or to wear on their own. I'm sure you won't be disappointed with your choices.

You hit all of the big sellers...but if you're into neutrals- Wink Wink & Nudge Nudge are the office favorites.

I told my friends that I was getting SN e/s samples and that they were welcome to hop into my shopping cart.

Lord help me, they went crazy. Instead of getting 6 e/s samples, I got 23 instead and requests for 3 blusher and 2 sleep-in-a-jar samples.
