Speak 4 Geeks: In a Galaxy Far, Far Away…

Fellow Jedis and Siths!!!

The day is almost upon us…only 23 sleeps to go! Exciting things have been happening all around us and we are here to give you the highlight run down.

First of all, the Covergirl Star Wars make up range hit our stores and I managed to pick up some pieces. The full range included 6 lipsticks, 10 mascaras and 3 nail polishes that are all limited edition, so if you haven’t had a chance to get your hands on some yet I suggest you hurry.

The two lipsticks I picked up were #70 Nude and #40 Gold. The lipsticks go on quite smoothly and almost have a lip-balmly feel to them. The #40 lipstick has more glitter flecks in the product that you can feel when you put it on, so if that’s something that annoys you I suggest you steer away from this colour. All the lipstick tubes are glitter products but what else do you expect for an outer space vibe! Personally, I feel they could’ve name the products after Star Wars characters, places or things, so I have decided from now on that I will be calling #40 ‘Tatooine Suns’ and #70 ‘Naboo’s Princess’. Tell us what you believe the other lipstick names should be?

As for the mascara, there are ten different sayings to choose from! I purchased a Dark Side mascara that has the quote “Indeed you are powerful!” To be honest the mascara isn’t actually that great for me. For someone that has long lashes is just clumps everything together and makes a mess. It works a lot better for my bottom lashes as the wand is extremely short. As for the nail polish I actually haven't spotted any here in Australia so I'm not sure whether it's actually being sold here...if anyone finds some let us know!

Amongst other news, the new Star Wars Battlefront game was released on the 17^th of November. It took the top spot for the biggest launch of a Star Wars franchise game as well as being the fastest-selling PlayStation 4 game online. Although we haven’t got our hands on the game yet, the general gameplay looks quite good from what I’ve experienced in the demo. Personally I found the first Battlefront quite good in the way you could set up multiplayer gameplay and missions easily so I hope they have managed to keep that simplicity. If any of you have had the chance to play it yet we would love to know your thoughts.

On the 22^nd of November, Pentatonix, accompanied by full symphony orchestra, treated us to a special Star Wars music tribute at the American Music Awards. It absolutely blew my mind with its expertly arranged medley and incredibly pieced outfits plus stunning vocals all set amongst a video montage backdrop from the original trilogy. Our favourite Captain of the Millennium Falcon, Harrison Ford, introduced the segment along with a newly released scene from the film especially for the awards show.

Finally, Jimmy Kimmel hosted a Star Wars special episode where there were interviews with old and new casted members, director J.J. Abrams, hilarious games and a very touching make up between Han Solo and Chewbacca. We found out that the first word spoken in the movie is ‘This’ and heard some amazing behind the scene stories. You can check out all the highlights from the episode on the JimmyKimmel Youtube Channel.
