Lauren Conrad founded The Beauty Department in April 2011 with the help of her makeup artist Amy Nadine and hairstylist Kristin Ess. Additionally, she disclosed plans to expand the brand by launching a line of cosmetics.
2011 saw the debut of Conrad’s third clothing line, Paper Crown. But in 2018, Paper Crown was abandoned. Conrad and BlueAvocado joined up in July 2012 to introduce the eco-friendly bag line XO(eco).

The brand initially included four makeup items, but by September 2020 it had grown to include 10 makeup items as well as ten skincare items, with the promise of future product growth. Sadly, Lauren Conrad Beauty stopped selling in 2021.
In terms of her writing endeavors, Conrad’s debut book, L.A. Candy, was published in June 2009 and quickly rose to the top of The New York Times bestseller list. The protagonist of the book, Jane Roberts, moves to Los Angeles, drawing influence from the author’s own experiences.
2010 saw the release of the subsequent sequels Sweet Little Lies and Sugar and Spice. Conrad wrote the fashion book Lauren Conrad Style in 2010 in addition to her novel writing. Conrad published The Fame Game, the L.A. Candy series’ spin-off book, in April 2012.
In October 2012, she released the fashion manual Lauren Conrad Beauty and the sequel to The Fame Game, Starstruck.
