Since I haven't put any makeup on today, I figured it was a good day to post the swatches, along with some swatches done today.
First, a photo of my order.
Magical Muse, Temptress, Tranquil
Super Woman, Semi Precious, The Total Package
Siren, Neon Femme, Krista's Blue
Same order as previous photo:
Magical Muse, Temptress, Tranquil
Super Woman, Semi Precious, The Total Package
Siren, Neon Femme, Krista's Blue
Descriptions from the Stardust website:
Magical Muse: Blue toned purple, low shimmer.
Temptress (sold out): Naughty blackened purple with bewitching pink sparkles.
Tranquil: Vivid aqua frost.
Super Woman: Super hero blue with immortal red glitters.
Semi Precious: Vibrant multidimensional teal.
The Total Package: Aqua with gentle glitter.
Siren: Fuchsia with a subtle blue sheen.
Neon Femme: Futuristic purple with blue undertones.
Krista's Blue: This is a custom shade created for Krista. It is a vibrant blue pearl with a smoky base.
Krista's Blue deserves a close-up. In the bag, it looks very dark, but in reality it is a dark blue with some lighter blue tones that seem to work their way to the surface of the dark base. I promptly ordered it in a full size.
After looking at these swatches, I realized that Semi Precious and The Total Package look very similar. This morning, I decided to swatch these two in more depth.

Swatched dry on bare skin, over Too Faced Shadow Insurance, and foiled
The two colors are similar, but certainly not identical, with Semi Precious being darker and slightly more blue.
When I first examined my samples, they seemed to contain a larger amount of product than the Aromaleigh samples I have become accustomed to. When I looked on the respective websites, I learned that Stardust's samples are indeed larger- 1/8 teaspoon versus Aromaleigh's sample size of 1/16 teaspoon. I'm loving this sample size!
Overall, I was very pleased with my order, and have already placed a second order.
