Lauren Conrad has launched her own beauty website.
The former ‘Hills’ star turned fashion designer has teamed up with her hairstylist, Kristin Ess, and make-up artist Amy Nadine to create the site thebeautydepartment.com, which will show visitors how to master popular hair and make-up trends at home.
Lauren said: “Growing up, I never really learned how to do my hair and makeup correctly and the results weren’t always great. Our goal with The Beauty Department is to provide girls and young women with a basic how-to of simplified versions of popular trends and styles that they can recreate themselves.”
The website will also cover health-related beauty topics and allow readers to submit questions.
Lauren is not the only celebrity to launch her own website.
Earlier this month Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen joined forces with BeachMint Inc – a company headed by MySpace founder Josh Berman – to launch a shopping forum.
The site promises to combine shopping and social media to offer users a unique experience where they will be given recommendations for purchases based on the responses registered users give in style questionnaires.
Mary-Kate and Ashley will design products available – starting with a range of $29.99 women’s t-shirts – and create videos for the site.

Audrina Patridge says seeing herself on a huge billboard for her latest Bongo campaign is “insane”.
The reality TV beauty – who is the face of the denim brand – thinks the new advert, in which she showcases one of the label’s new bikinis, is “amazing” but “way up close and personal”.
Speaking of the huge image on Hollywood’s Sunset Boulevard, in which she is posing in a black two-piece, she told People magazine: “It’s gigantic. It’s so big! When I saw it, I was like, ‘Oh, my god, that’s way up close and personal.’
“I’m so appreciative of it. I never in a thousand years thought I’d ever be up there. It’s insane, but it’s amazing.”
The 25-year-old brunette – who used to star in ‘The Hills’ and now has her own VH1 show ‘Audrina’ – says the new campaign shows what the brand has to offer for the summer and excited to be promoting their first ever swimwear line.
She explained: “It was really about promoting the brand’s spring and summer lines. Bongo has bathing suits now, which they’ve never had in the past. I think they really wanted to promote that, and since I’m always in a bikini, it just kind of made sense. It was an amazing shoot.”
Audrina is also delighted to be representing Bongo because she remembers her mother wearing the brand when she was little and now likes to wear its clothes and accessories herself.
She said: “I love Bongo. My mom used to wear it in the ’80s. It’s been around forever. They have all kinds of apparel, as well as accessories. The clothes are actually cute. I don’t like to just slap my name on something. I like to be involved. I need to like the product, otherwise I’m not going to represent it.”

Don’t I hear ya sister!
On the brink of her television departure from The Hills, due to air on Sunday, Lauren Conrad has admitted that she prefers a more casual look when hanging out with boyfriend, Kyle Howard.
“I feel sexiest with him when I’m in sweatpants and no makeup,” she tells the June issue of Cosmopolitan.
In addition to her sexy sweatpant style, L.C. also confessed that she was annoyed at producers for insisting that she and Heidi Montag be brought together.

Look out world! It seems Lauren Conrad wasn’t kidding when she said she was “writing” a novel.
Teen Vogue got their mitts on two pages of the young adult novel titled, L.A. Candy, due out June 16. What’s it about? I hear you ask. Well, it’s about a girl named Jane who moves to Hollywood and lands her own reality show (sounding familiar yet?). Jane soon finds the pressures and pains of being the star of her own somewhat rehearsed reality show a drag.
In other words, it’s bound to mirror LC’s own life and the reasons behind why she has decided to leave The Hills. Click here to read an excerpt.

It’s a bit of Lauren Conrad overload today, but we thought you’d still like to know those rumours that she would be resting her fashion label really weren’t a sign that she was giving up on design for good.
Why? Because the reality TV star has just announced a new collaboration with Kohl’s department stores.
Just a month after LC revealed she would be taking a hiatus from her upscale line, she has revealed that she will be launching a brand new range, called LC Lauren Conrad, for Kohl’s.
“It is a California chic line,” she said. “It is a little more casual. They are basically trying to take that California style and make it accessible everywhere.”

Not to be outdone by her co-stars, Audrina Partridge is jumping on board the fashion bandwagon by launching her own denim line.
The reality star has reportedly landed her first endorsement deal, by signing a contract with fashion label Divine Rights of Denim, to not only co-design a collection, but to also be the face of it.
“She has that flavor to her,” said Divine’s director of sales, Angel Shoshan. “She can wear a wife beater and jeans, and she just looks comfortable and hot.”
If true, then she joins The Hills‘s Lauren, Heidi and Whitney in unveiling her own clothing range.
I guess wearing her favourite pair of DRoD jeans (‘Lust’ style, retails US$58) finally paid off for her.

Heidi Montag popped in to MTV’s TRL today, surely promoting her upcoming fashion line Heidiwood, her current range for Anchor Blue, or most likely both.
And we’ll bet those are one of the pairs of Christian Louboutins she was seen buying with is-he-or-isn’t-he fiance Spencer Pratt in New York this weekend.

Whitney Port is the most fashionable star of “The Hills” in our opinion, even if she did mispronounce Givenchy. Now she’s set to launch her own contemporary clothing line called Eve & A this fall.

If you can’t get enough of your B and C-list celebs and designers, well then L.A. Fashion Week is for you!
Paris Hilton is pretty much the biggest celebrity sighting you can have in L.A. and her front-row spot at sister Nicky’s fashion show (which we reviewed here)providing prime peeping.
Other actresses included The Hills gang (if acting like you’re human isn’t an accomplishment, what is?), Mena Suvari, Juliette Lewis, Lauren German, Jenna Elfman. And then there were “actresses” of a dirtier sort – Jenna Jameson and Mary Carey.
Rounding out the ecclectic crowd were Lily Collins, Bijou Phillips, Ruby Stewart and Gene Simmons.
