Shaun White: Winter Olympic hair volume for the Spring!

Learn how to get the cold winter weather to leave your gorgeous looks alone
Winter Beauty Survival Guide
Winter can be your skin and hair's worst nightmare. It dries out your cuticles, frizzes your strands and makes skin flake -- ugh! To the rescue: tips from Winter Olympics Team USA. Here they share their secrets on how to battle cold winter temps and look gorgeous all cold-weather season long.



 
.If you have been enjoying the Winter Olympics as much as I have then you too have been watching it on television and most likely looking online for recaps. I'm a big snowboard and Shaun White fan! So while I've been watching I have also taken note of what the Olympic athletes skin, hair and even makeup looks like.
 
Today, let's take a look and see about Shaun White' style:
 

That is definately the 80's style volume that we are going to be seeing in the Spring 2010 beauty trend! Though I think his is natural and for your volume I recommend foams like Profound Beauty Stylist volume foam and Aveda's Phomallient.  I think he just looks like a picture of health, vitality, vim and vigor!  Surely that is the result of good eating and wearing sunscreen while practicing his snowboarding tricks. Oh the Double McTwist 1260 is definately going down in history.

I don't know what brand sunscreen he uses, though I know I trust the Neutrogena line, La Roche-Posay, Arbonne, and Bullfrog! Remember to apply it to your hands so they age slower.

Below is a wee clip/photo courtesy of the http://www.nbcolympics.com/ website about the gold and how Shaun White won. Enjoy!

Find out all the best ways to enhance your striking feature
Got Blue Eyes? You Need These Makeup Tips
Blue eyes certainly stand out in a crowd, especially since only 10 percent of the world has them. Are you one of the lucky ones? Then use these makeup tips to really make them pop.



I must say that I prefer the winter olympics over the summer. I have been catching news and going over the NBC Olympic website to see who got gold where. I'm definately a Shaun White fan! Love Ms. Vonn and taking an interest in Tanith the ice dancer.

In honor of the Olympics LUSH has created some goodies and specials for you to enjoy and have as a keepsake memento of the event. Enjoy! To order go to http://www.lushusa.com/shop/limited-edition/

Street Party Bath Bomb, $4.95

You may not get a chance to celebrate the opening ceremonies in person, but you can bring the party to your tub while you watch it on TV. Enjoy a full night of celebrations starting with a patriotic bath. The scent of a champagne cocktail and mini American flag will surely evoke Olympic spirit; you may even find yourself singing ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ the tub while waving the little flag that comes with it.

Canadian Maple Soap $7.95

The deliciousness of Canadian maple syrup cannot be denied. So, in true LUSH fashion, we’ve added it to a soap to slather all over your body. The soothing soap shaped like a maple leaf will leave skin soft and sweetly scented, thanks to its real Canadian maple syrup and sugar topping. Don’t try and add it to your breakfast, this one is meant for the bath or shower.

Canadiana Gift $16.95

Two things may come to mind when you think about the fine country of Canada - maple syrup and Mounties. LUSH is bringing back some old favorites in one gift that pays tribute to the nation. Only during this special sporting event can LUSH-lovers experience a double-whammy of Canadian-inspired culture that’s handmade in Vancouver: Canadian Maple Soap and Mountie Massage Bar. This “force” of a massage bar will be sure to bring your body back to law and order even if you are just viewing the games.

Let’s Get Fizzical Tin $44.95

For those of us who aren’t breaking a sweat in the Olympics, LUSH urges you to get “fizzical” in the bathtub instead. Filled with nine of our fizzing bath bombs, this reusable tin is the perfect place to stash all those Canadian souvenirs!

Remember: you are beautiful!
