I also bought the starter kit a while ago, now I've switched to Everyday Minerals which sticks a lot better to my skin and isn't so "sparkly" .. the BE eyeshadows are nice, and I still use the black eyeliner stuff, it's matte and very nice, the brown java is also nice.
I have the iquad kit, and the sparkly colours there are pretty too, however they don't stick too well to my skin, they're not too "fine" ... I'll often use those as lipstick, adding a bit after applying chap lip to get a bit of a sparkle.
I actually like everyday minerals matte eyeshadows, you should try to check out their site and get the free kit, you may find that you're able to do a lot more blending with their products.
