We’re back! As many of you know, I run Share Your Beauty, a beauty donation program created to combat waste and promote sustainability in the beauty industry by donating excess new, unopened, beauty and hygiene products to various shelters in the NYC Tri-state area.
We’re partnering with Glowbar and NewBeauty magazine to collect your new beauty products to donate to refugee families in NYC through Human Rights First.
Now through June 14th, products can be shipped or dropped off at any Glowbar location in NYC + CT (locations are listed in the above invite).
Special thank you to LeSportsac for generously donating bags to hold all the beauty products being donated, so every recipient receives their products in a beautiful bag.
More on SHARE YOUR BEAUTY: Recognized as the first beauty donation program, co-founded by Lara Eurdolian of Pretty Connected and the poverty relief non-profit organization Family-to-Family. Together they organize drives and events to collect beauty and hygiene products and deliver them to shelters and teen centers in NYC, Westchester, and the tri-state area. Since their launch in February 2014, over 150,000 beauty products have been donated thanks to the generous support of individuals, brands, and members of the beauty industry.
Once upon a time, we would sit in rooms like this, each brand at their own table anxiously waiting as the Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW) Beauty Award winners to be announced!
This year for the first time in history, and like most things in 2020… CEW went virtual.
And the winners of the 26th Annual CEW Beauty Award Winners are…
It’s been a great week of panels for the annual UNFILTERED Experience show and on November 4th, I’ll be on two panels for their live sessions, Master Your Brand and Influencers and Unplugged: Creating Holistic Brand Relationships.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, – 10:00 am pst/1 pm est, MASTER YOUR OWN BRAND Panel
Let’s face it… at some point you’ve thought about how to evolve your content creator business to the next level. Maybe you’ve done successful campaigns with brand partners and it gave you a taste for what you can generate from your posts…or maybe you just want to develop an income stream stemming from products that reflect your own personality. How do you get started and fund your business? Do you merch under your own name or not? Hear first hand some of the key learnings from an influencer turned business founder. Q & A w/ leading influencers
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, – 11:00 am pst/2 pm est – INFLUENCERS UNPLUGGED: CREATING HOLISTIC BRAND RELATIONSHIPS Panel
While influencer marketing has catapulted many companies into financial darlings with private equity investors and to avid social media fandom, working with influencers is more of an art than science. Yes, data matters – audience fit, engagement, content fit are all very important metrics. But more so, the relationship that you develop with social media influencers who become your brand ambassadors and spokespeople matters even more. How do you cultivate long lasting relationships? Hear directly from influencers how they have nurtured relationships with favorite companies and what are the key tactics you can use to connect in a more holistic way with content creators.

Before and After. Hair by Carlos Lopez at West Vibe, NYC
It’s the moment most of us have been waiting for. After 3+ months, we can finally say goodbye to our gray hairs, our split ends and remember what we looked like in the old normal. For us in NYC, this was the week! I went to see Carlos Lopez at West Vibe, a gem in Hell’s Kitchen in NYC. He took me from Quarantine Lara to pre-Quarantine Lara in a few hours. Just look at that before and after, I’m literally a new woman. I will not miss my DIY hair cuts.
For anyone looking to book an appointment here are a few tips.
Do a virtual consultation, less is more when it comes to the amount of time you spend in salon.
Ask if they accept Venmo for tips.
Make sure a full PPE staff uniform will be worn at the salon you go to.
Try to get the first appointment of the day, less bodies before you = less risk. That’s one of my general hacks, but you can also ask for a less busy time but it’s good to have an understanding of what you’re walking into — how many active stations does the salon have, how many booking they are taking at a time…
Make sure the salon is offering plexiglass dividers or some type of separation policy.
Make sure to read/ask their policies in advance of going in and what you need to know.
I don’t recommend considering any salon that isn’t requiring/enforcing masks and taking all guests temperatures upon arrival.
Make sure each station and tools will be sterilized in between each and every client.
Lastly, wear a disposable or mask you don’t mind ruining a bit if you’re doing color. It’s inevitable you might get a little dye on it if you’re getting your hair colored.
For anyone wanting to visit my colorist, ask for Carlos Lopez at West Vibe, 451 West 46th Street btw 9th and 10th ave. Set up a virtual consultation in advance!

Fornasetti Star Lina candle, 300g size available at Olivela
I’ve been a long time Fornasetti admirer. That signature face, the black and white with a pop of red lips always caught my eye. The brand launched their latest candle as part of the Fornasetti Star Lina collection (300g size, $215). The range of candles are available on Olivela.com with 20% off all proceeds going to Save the Children.
Bearing the enigmatic face of Piero Fornasettie’s muse Lina Cavalieri, She was an internationally recognized artist who lived at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, who was known as ‘the most beautiful woman in the world.’ While Piero never met Lina, he considered her face the quintessential image of classical beauty and her face has since become a signature Fornasetti centerpiece.
