The Chalk Full of Beauty Sweepstakes

COVERGIRL and Secret are teaming up with USA Gymnastics and Olympic gold medalist Nastia Liukin for the Chalk Full of Beauty Sweepstakes! Starting now and until May 28, 2010, you can enter to win one of two fabulous grand prizes: a trip for two to New York City to enjoy a full weekend of beautification and relaxation OR a visit to the U.S. Women’s National Team Training Center for the opportunity to meet Nastia. What a choice!

As a champion athlete, Nastia Liukin knows that being both strong and beautiful is a balancing act all its own. “If I like the way I look with my hair and makeup,” she says, “it makes me feel confident about my performance!” She wants to show girls everywhere they can feel amazingly beautiful whether they’re running the field or walking the school hallways.

Here is a short Q&A with Nastia about her gold-medal look. She's a top-notch cover girl! She chalks up her stellar performances and camera-ready demeanor to feeling amazing on the inside.

What are your favorite beauty products?
My favorite beauty product is COVERGIRL’s Lash Blast Mascara. I love using it for competition because it really makes your eyes stand out! My other favorite is Amaze Mint Lipgloss. It gives your lips a little tingle!

It seems like you'd need extra makeup (and hairspray) for the cameras when competing. Do you have special preferences or beauty rituals?
I do use A LOT of hairspray for competitions to keep my hair in place. My favorite is Herbal Essences Set Me Up Hairspray. It smells great too!

What’s your favorite makeup look?
I love the personal make-up look Molly Stern gave me! She gave us each a personalized look, and I think it fits us all perfectly! Molly always told us "Less is more!" so we like to go by that theory!

So how can you enter, and what might you win? There are two grand prizes.
  • A fabulous trip for two to the U.S. Women's National Team Training Center (Bela Karolyi Ranch) for the exclusive opportunity to meet Olympic gold medalist Nastia Liukin and receive a fabulous basket of beauty from Secret and COVERGIRL! The Grand Prize trip to the U.S. Women’s National Team Training Center consists of a three-day/two-night trip for winner and guest to the U.S. Women’s National Team Training Center in Huntsville, Texas. The prize includes round-trip coach air transportation, two nights hotel accommodations (double occupancy), along with a COVERGIRL/Secret gift basket and a $500 check payable to the winner.
  • Win a beautiful trip for two to New York City! Enjoy a full weekend of beautification and relaxation including a COVERGIRL/Secret beauty basket and spa day!

Me too, Vanessa! I think meeting Nastia and seeing the facility would be fun (I used to do gymnastics), but that's no comparison to being spoiled. :)
