Yes. In late 1999, Yves Saint Laurent had for its Fall/Winter collection a temporary line called Love 2000 that sought to kill two birds in one promotional stone: Star Wars and the coming new millennium. It had among other awesomeness, nail polish called Naboo Pink that was very light pink with a little sparkle in it and a beautiful lipstick in Rouge Amidala, a Chinese red with a bit of a gold tone. There was other stuff that was part of the collection but since YSL's makeup is pricey and I was making a lot less money back then, I splurged only for those items. My brother even snagged for me a promotional booklet that was a hoot. There were tips on how to do your makeup just like Amidala's with their stuff!

What's even more amusing is that apparently, the makeup line was hard to find. I used to live in Northern Virginia, and the Tysons Corner Bloomingdales carried the entire line. I also found some of the items at a Sephora at another NoVA mall. The only other place I'd seen it for sale was at the Saks Fifth Avenue flagship store in New York City. Steve Sansweet couldn't believe it when I told him I'd found this stuff in an actual store. He had to get his set from a sales rep at YSL.
