Yes, and yes. I own Bisque, Summer Bisque and Well Rested. I love Well Rested, as I have dark eyelids and deal with circles from time to time and it does a great job. I've also used WR to conceal redness on my face and it's great. On days I don't have a lot of time or my skin looks really good, I conceal if needed with my foundation.

The Feather Light has a bit of a sheen, not quite a sparkle like a Gossamer, but just a sheer glow. I prefer Clear Radiance to get that effect over the FL myself. I did mix an eyeshadow sized FLMV into my bucket of Tinted MV to use it up and like that effect.

Kits, kits, kits! I just ordered the Guilty Pleasures (9 total, but they are smaller than the normal shadow pots) and the Liner Quad IV (this is in the iQuad format, a little messy but a great way to try out colors. I highly recommend the following (I have highlighted cocoa/caramel hair, light/medium skin tone and dark brown eyes, if that helps any). I think all of the items in these kits are full sized.

Blendable Eye Camouflage
Pure Moxie kit (Great value!)
Get Started Eyes
