The colors are:

• Fashion Fame (light pearl pink)
• Like a Dream (mauve)
• Music is Magic (bright pink)
• To the Rescue (berry)
• She's Got the Power (dark purple) 

Fashion Fame is pretty sheer with glitter. This is not really a liquid lipstick and more of a gloss. It was gritty due to the glitter, but I was really into it nonetheless.

I've already worn Like a Dream. It was comfortable on the lips, not too drying, and didn't leave a dark ring on the lips as it wore down.

Music is Magic and To the Rescue are both really nice and opaque. Music is Magic is so bright, but I still see myself wearing it somewhere. These two and Like a Dream are all creamy and really remind me of the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams.

She's Got the Power was a little disappointing. It's more sheer, and goes on unevenly. It takes a few coats to get a truly opaque color, but it can work. This one has some pearl to it, which might explain why it isn't as opaque as the other cream ones.

Overall, I am very happy with this set and excited to try it out more.

CoverGirl Star Wars The Force Awakens Colorlicious Lipstick

Star Wars Makeup. Seriously.

I'm a child of the 80's and always loved the Star Wars movies.  I watched them on VHS tapes, mimicked Darth Vader in box fans, and had a pretty good impression of a Tauntaun walk. I was disappointed, along with the rest of the world, in the three prequel movies in the 2000's, but I have high hopes for the newest movies. Being a lover of all things makeup, I obviously was excited to see that CoverGirl was coming out with a Limited Edition collection for The Force Awakens.



I tried finding the collection at a few midtown NYC Duane Reade's but had no luck (does anyone ever find collections in NYC drugstores? I never have luck. Only me?). Thankfully, most of the collection is available on Walgreens.com, so I placed an order (which, I might add was delivered within 36 hours, so that was crazy).

The collection includes:

• Super Sizer Waterproof Mascara - The Light Side (1 shade)
• Super Sizer Mascara - The Dark Side (1 shade)
• Outlast Nail Polish (6 shades)
• Colorlicious Lipstick (6 shades)

Unfortunately, when I ordered from Walgreens, the nail polish wasn't available, so I didn't get any of those. I'm not a huge fan of waterproof, so I just picked up The Dark Side mascara. It is not my cup of tea. Though the color is nice and dark, it doesn't give a lot of volume. I'll likely use it for simple day looks or to use on my lower lashes.

I also picked up three of the lipsticks (R-L):

• Silver 10
• Red 30
• Purple 50

Red is a deep burgundy with gold shimmer and Purple is deep and wearable with a touch of frost. Both of these were super pigmented and opaque on one swipe. Overall, I like the colors a lot. There are a couple of things about these lipsticks however, that will keep me from wearing these lipsticks often. First, these feel almost gritty. I can feel the texture on these and that drives me crazy. The other is the smell/taste of the lipsticks. It is very strong, chemically smell and taste. I had to take it off immediately. It has been a long time since I bought a CoverGirl lipstick, do they all smell like this? It's a shame because I do like the colors of these.

Here are swatches of the three I own.

L-R: Red 30, Silver 10, Purple 50
