Skintimate has incorporated some tips from The Hills star Whitney Port on their website this fall. Whitney touches on what she knows best - style and beauty including some shaving tips, sharing that:

"When I'm in a rush and need to shave my legs outside of the shower, I soak a washcloth in warm water and wrap it around my legs for a few minutes. Warm water will soften hair and make it easier to shave."

Of course, we all know that it's best and safest to shave IN the shower. Personally, I like to lather up with just a small amount of Skintimate's Flirty Mango Shave Gel. It smells fantastic - sweet and tropical - and just a little goes a long way. The product is chock full of 11 moisturizers, vitamins and an antioxidant to keep skin moisturized and healthy.

You can pick up Skintimate Shave Gels at your local drugstore or at Walgreens.com. For more tips on beauty from Whitney Port, visit www.skintimatetips.com!

I'm an anomoly in the beauty blogging world sometimes. You see, I don't get all that excited about many new makeup releases or the hottest new nail color from Chanel. Instead, I get really pysyched to hear about improvements to beauty and personal care staples, like toothpaste!

I recently had the chance to test out Colgate's new Total® Advanced Whitening toothpaste, which works to whiten teeth and simultaneously helps maintain strong, healthy teeth and gums. The formula fights germs in your mouth for 12 hours (just like regular Colgate Total, which celebrates 10 years in 2008) but also boasts an advanced whitening silica system that helps remove surface stains for healthier and whiter teeth. After brushing with this toothpaste, my teeth do indeed feel super clean though I'm not sure that any toothpaste is on the surface of your teeth long enough to truly whiten.

Colgate Total Advance Whitening retails for $2.99-$3.99 and is available NOW at grocery stores and drug stores nationwide.

If you're anything like me, when you hear "Johnson's", you think BABY. As someone with some expertise in branding myself, I can tell you that's both a blessing and a curse. You see, the Johnson's line actually goes beyond baby these days - there are some great products that work on bodies of all ages.

My fave product from Johnson's is the new-ish Baby Oil Gel. This super-moisturizing, mineral oil-based product is perfect for not only babies but for anyone with dry and/or sensitive skin (that's a lot of us as the weather turns cooler)! And at just $3.29 per 6.5oz squeeze tube, you can moisturize to your heart's content, without any fear of breaking the bank. My fave of the three Baby Oil Gel formulations is the Chamomile & Multi Vitamin Complex, which smells soothing.

Just one tip with these guys - make sure to apply when skin is damp or they may not absorb entirely. But when applied properly, these will leave your skin soft as a baby's bottom! (Sorry, I couldn't resist!)

Available at drugstores nationwide or via drugstore.com.

Leonor Greyl's lush Masque Fleurs de Jasmine ($52)does double tress duty as a conditioner or a light treatment mask. I have fine hair and have been using it 2-3 times a week after shampooing and it leaves my hair glossy and soft without being weighed down in the slightest.

The chic but simple packaging on the Leonor Greyl line is oh-so-European and the mask is no exception. But the best thing about this product is the gorgeous scent! It smells entirely natural, like real jasmine, not at all manufactured.

Leonor Greyl has been in business for over 40 years and the all-natural, silicone free products boast a devoted celeb following including Cameron Diaz, Jessica Alba and Penelope Cruz. They're available at select beauty boutiques and online at www.beautyhabit.com.
