If you’re anything like me, you spent all of your childhood (and most of your adult life so far) wanting to run away to the Star Wars universe. Sure, Planet Earth is a pretty sweet place to live, but it doesn’t have speeders, lightsabers, and mystical Jedi.

Not only is the galaxy far, far away full of adventures and romance, but it’s also basically a never-ending fashion show.

Haven’t you guys always wanted to go to class in Leia’s cinnamon bun hair or one of Amidala’s ornate gowns? I refuse to believe that’s just a me thing.

You can therefore imagine how excited I was when Covergirl announced its collection celebrating the upcoming film “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” The makeup is available online and is filtering into stores, so it’s easy to get ahold of! Maybe I still can’t pull off that infamous metal bikini on my next beach day, but at least my makeup can be sci-fi-themed.

Some Facts About Covergirl x Star Wars:

• In total, the collection features six lipsticks, six nail polishes, and mascara, which comes in waterproof and regular and features a variety of film quotes on the tubes.
• The nail polishes are colorful and eye-catching, but the lipsticks are where things get unusual. In keeping with the extraterrestrial theme of the films, the collection includes such non-traditional colors as silver and gold. They may take some confidence to wear, but trust me, you can pull them off!
• The lipsticks were used in a series of looks created by the talented Pat McGrath, the Global Creative Design Director for Covergirl. They’re so stunning and elaborate that I think they’re as important to the collection as the makeup itself.
• While I’m obviously a massive fan of the makeup, I think my favorite thing about the line is that it’s a Star Wars product made for a female-skewing group of buyers. With companies sometimes excluding female sci-fi fans when they make their tie-in products (check out the controversy surrounding the general lack of Black Widow toys), it’s nice to see a company that knows ladies love Star Wars, too!
