Thrills
Hipness
Golden Bronzer
Beach Bronze
Temperature Rising and Life's a Breeze
Marine Life x2
130 x2
131
But that would cost me $802.
Opinions please!

..you mean 208, right? Because I bought more than that and I think I'd have to start living in a box if I dropped a grand on makeup in two weeks.
Anyway.. I would say if you're looking to save money, get Shimmermoss later or at least in a pro pan, since it's perm.
Do you have any other bright greens/chartreuses? If you have Rated "R" from last year's Starflash collex, you can probably skip Sweet & Punchy. (I did not, so I got S&P and love it
)
I say Firecracker is a must. It's a really wearable red-orange. I'm super pale, but it doesn't make me look like I've been crying or anything, which I was at first afraid it might.
I feel it's really versatile too - can be worn with golds, bronzes, pinks, greens...
Flurry of Fun is a MUST. Splashing is nice, but not INCREDIBLY unique. I bought it and haven't worn it yet, but I've worn FoF a few times already.
I have worn both Thrills and Hipness almost every day since launch. I love them both. Thrills is great, even though I usually hate the texture of Frosts (they dry my lips out very easily, usually). The bronze sheen to it isn't too much.
I can't comment on the bronzers; I didn't get any.
Temp Rising is a must, I think - unique, easy to blend. Bold enough to wear on its own as a pseudo-stain on more pigmented lips (like mine), but can easily be toned down some with gloss or a lighter application (just used as a liner and filling in the lips by bringing it in with a brush from the lipline).
LaB is nice. I think it's a perfect pink lip pencil - it's true PINK, not too brown, not too bright.
I bought a Marine Life and haven't used it yet because I don't want to ruin the overspray
so I can't comment on if it's worth it or not. With that one though.. I think people are beyond reason.
I don't have either brush, but isn't the 130 going to be perm now? Maybe get one now, and get a second one later if you need it? No reason to get two now, since they'll be around...
HTH!
