When Fedex rings your doorbell at 8:30am, you know it’s important. In case you haven’t heard by now, CoverGirl has announced a first of it’s kind beauty collaboration with the upcoming blockbuster film, Star Wars : The Force Awakens. COVERGIRL Global Creative Design Director, Pat McGrath, designed a series of six stunning beauty looks inspired by the film , it’s iconic characters and key themes using new limited edition products from the CoverGirl Star Wars Makeup Collection & existing products.
The looks were designed to enable the hundreds of millions of female Star Wars fans to celebrate their love of the movie, transform their look, and express multiple sides of their personalities. These colors will provide the force to choose between the light side and the dark side.
I have 3 of the 6 lipsticks to share with you today! These are all part of the ‘dark side’ collection.
The Colorlicious line has always been a favorite of mine. The shades are creamy, pigmented and wear well. In the dark side collection, there is one cream and 2 frosty metallic shades. The only shade with an actual name is the deep purple, which is called Stormtropper. (I also want to add – There are NO names on the bottom of these lipsticks. It is strictly just the number)
Top to Bottom :
#50 – Stormtrooper – Deep Eggplant Purple
#30 – Friosted Red
#10 – Metallic Silver
How GORGEOUS is Stormtrooper? I am obsessed with it!
Edited To Add Quick Lip Swatches :
I am not the best at lip swatches, but I had a friend ask to do some so I figured why not! You can see from the lip swatches below, #10 settled into ALL of my lips fine lines and is very patchy. Surprisingly #30 performed the best on the lips. I HIGHLY recommend using a lip liner with #50. Because the shade is very dark, it’s a little tricky to stay in the lines.
I cannot wait to get my hands on the rest of this collection! There are 3 additional lipstick shades (The Light Side collection), 10 Mascaras (Each with a different Star Wars quote) & 3 nail gloss shades.
The COVERGIRL Star Wars Makeup Collection will be available online starting September 4th and in mass market, drug & food retailers starting Mid-September, while supplies last.
Will you be stalking your local drugstores to get your hands on these? May The Force Be With You!
Availability : September 4th / Mid September
Price : $5.99-$7.99 (Lipsticks) | $5.99-$7.49 (Mascara) | $4.99-$6.99 (Nail Gloss)

Love that red!
#50 is GORGEOUS!
I’m not really a lipstick girl, but I might have to become one just so I can wear Stormtrooper. 😀 I’m SO excited to see what the rest of this collection looks like! Being a huge Star Wars nerd, the colors used in this collection weren’t what I expected when I first heard about this collab, but they’re really growing on me.
Quick question though – do Covergirl lipsticks have any scent to them? I’m super sensitive to smells, especially floral/perfume-y fragrances, so putting a scented product directly under my nose is out of the question for me. 🙁
Yes – It definitely was different than what I expected as well! I thought for sure the lipsticks would have fun names – But they don’t 🙁
The lipsticks to me have a faint typical lipstick scent. It almost smells like baby powder.. Did that make any sense? LOL
I know exactly what you mean by the “baby powder” smell, lol. Are their lipsticks safety-sealed? If not, I’ll probably check out the Covergirl section the next time I go to Walgreens to see if I think the scent will bother me. I’m okay with some scents, especially if they’re faint and fade really quickly, and fortunately I can usually tell right away if a smell will give me a migraine.
haha okay good! They are safety sealed – I believe Walgreens has a pretty good return policy if you don’t like the way it smells! Once I applied it, the scent went away and I couldn’t even smell anything.
Awesome review! Looking forward to getting these when they go on sale!
This is a dream for everyone born in the ’70s or ’80s! 😀
I like your Star Wars toys 🙂 I am def going to pick up as much as I can find just for the love of Star Wars hehe
Love the two darker ones! It’s too bad the grey is patchy, because it would’ve been a great color for a Halloween costume or something!
LOVE #50! Total must-have!
How fun! I need all of them! <3
I *need* #50 in my life. Like, now. haha! I haven’t tried a CG lip product in such a long time but that’s going to change!
I am definitely a bit disappointed in the SW collection, but being a huge fan of the movies, I’ll be buying stuff any! (So… I guess they got me.) That said, I do like the two reds more than I thought I would. The silver looks terrible alone (not surprising) but might look nice layered over another color!
Yep – I was definitely bummed about the silver! I do wish they had actual names on the lipsticks though! That would have been fun!
I think the silver one is meant to be worn over another lipstick but I could be wrong. The red is beautiful. But what I really want are your Star Wars toys.
Oh I definitely think it is – It looks terrible on its own! And you may have to fight my toddler for them! hah
I’m not a Star Wars fan, but the packaging on this is so cute! I’m not sure who can get away with that silvery lipstick though! lol
hahah I’m not sure either! Might be a good Halloween lipstick!
Pretty shade ideas!
I will be buying Stormtrooper. The red reminds me of a shade CG used to have in the older Lip Perfection line called Everlasting. Those shades were amazing and the newer line (something licious) just seems blah. Couldn’t they name all the shades, or was it a copyright issue?
Something tells me that I’m going to need the force to be able to get Stormtrooper! I love it. What a great idea, CoverGirl! I love this collex.
I’m thinking the Metallic Silver might be something good for popping it on the center of the lips to bring light there and add a fun touch! Can’t wait to experiment 🙂
That red. Man, gorgeous!
Too bad they don’t have names, it kind of takes away from some of the fun! (I think the silver should have been stormtrooper BTW) The red and eggplant are really pretty, the white…not so much. 🙂
LoL! I love how you got the legos involved! I can’t wait to get my hands on these!
These are so awesome! I totally need to pick them up.
That red lippy is gorgeous… the deep red. We love Starwars in our house so I was really excited to see this when my husband shared it with me. I wish they had capitalized a bit more on the packaging… but excited to see it all nonetheless.
These are kind of cool. I may actually have to try one!
that silver is pretty cool
I have to admit I’ve never watched any of the Star Wars movies, but Stormtrooper is a gorgeous shade!
Wow, the pigmentation looks amazing! I need to check these out.
The SW toys added to the perfection of this post. I haven’t seen this collection, but if I do I’m all over it like a kid on candy!
the red is nice! I wish the silver one looked better
