The second one is a Gymno (I'm sure) :

The first one, I think, is Mammillaria perezdelarosae. There's a long thread about a very similar one here :CactiGuide.com • View topic - Mammillaria perezdelarosae"

The second looks like Gymnocalycium castellanosii.

The first one is to me Mammillaria microhelia, in perezdelarosae central spines are hooked

Centrals aren't always hooked on perezdelarosae, but it could be microhelia - in fact the more I look at it, the more I'm leaning that way, perezdelarosae is more fuzzy than that.

Centrals are always hooked in perezdelarosae, short and straight in ssp. andersoniana (which is quite rare in cultivation), you might want to check the following links for details on these taxa:
