This year, LE&Co once again had the chance to celebrate the past year's accomplishments in film. As celebrities, athletes, and influencers gathered at the beautiful Valerie Beverly Hills, LE&Co had the chance to introduce its guests to amazing luxury brands.
Valerie Beverly Hills
Serving as our backdrop for this celebrity and influencer-filled event, Valerie Beverly Hills is a stunning boutique salon serving looks and style. As a young girl, Valerie’s passion for beauty, glamour and femininity coincided with the arrival of her stylish grandmother, a wealthy Greek socialite. Under the loving and watchful eye of her "ya-ya," Valerie's life was transformed forever. Suddenly, Valerie was "obsessed" with fashion, decorating and creating beauty.
Valerie's mission has always been to bring out a woman's beauty and empower her with confidence and strength. She teaches her clients how to enhance their features with skillful techniques, professional tricks, and her signature products. Valerie’s makeup focuses on flawless skin and personalized looks which she believes are the secrets to truly timeless beauty. Her philosophy is about connecting with clients, learning their stories, and helping them find clarity and beauty from the inside out.
We want to once again thank Valerie for lending her beautiful salon to our event. The high-faulted ceilings, decor, and lighting entranced our guests and brought our vision for our Pre-Oscars gifting lounge to life. We can’t wait to collaborate with her again!

B Great
Barbara Goodstein, Founder and CEO of B Great, founded the brand when her father was dying and she was looking for something natural that could bring him comfort. She had seen the research on CBD’s therapeutic benefits, but found the market confusing to navigate as there were so many brands to choose from. As she did her research, she realized that CBD could not only help her father, but it could also help herself with some of the challenges she was experiencing as she got older, such as: staying focused, falling asleep, and soreness throughout her body.
As the former CEO and CMO of several nationally recognized brands, she decided to put her business acumen to use, tapping leading experts in the CBD industry to create a safe, predictable, well-tested product line that is transparent and consistent.
She wanted to feel safe entering this often confusing space. Now, with her company, she wants you to have that same level of confidence.

Bosom Couture
Boob Glue® creator and founder Dawn Jackson had acquired a closet filled with fashion “hopefuls” that were just waiting (and waiting) to be worn…once she found that “perfect” bra. Having a love/hate relationship with her breasts, a drawer full of designer bras and every kind of bra accessory known to womankind, Dawn still found herself wishing “If only they (the “girls”) would just stay there… right where I want them (sigh)”. That was it…..The “up-lifting” revelation where it all began. Setting out with her best chest forward, Boob Glue® was conceived.
With such an ambitious goal, it’s no surprise Dawn found success with her formula for the perfect chest lift. Using FDA approved ingredients, Boob Glue® Gravity Defying Adhesive instantly enhances the appearance of the breasts by keeping them positioned exactly where you want them adding extra lift, support or cleavage to your bra or braless attire.

Elixicure
Elixicure started because of the love of two sons for their mother and wanting to create a natural pain relief product that could make a difference in people’s lives. Elixicure founders, Eyal and Yaniv Kotler’s mother was suffering from chronic pain and caught in an endless cycle of being over-prescribed harmful drugs. As strong proponents of plant-based lifestyles, the Kotler brothers sought out high quality and organic pain relief options without chemical additives to help their mother, but found that none existed.
As a result, the two brothers created the Elixicure natural pain relief brand. Their mission is to help and enhance people’s lives by making the highest quality all-natural pain relief solutions that customers trust.
With plant based ingredients and instant pain relief, Elixicure will ensure you’ll be back on your feet in no time!

Scotch Porter Brand
Transformation is a powerful concept. It’s the feeling you get when the barber finishes a fresh cut, removes the cape, brushes you off and hands you the mirror to reveal the cleanest version of you. That feeling is what inspired CEO, Calvin Quallis, to quit his cushy corporate job to follow his passion for making people feel their best. He started small, opening a barber shop in his neighborhood just as his mother had done when he was a kid. From his kitchen, he began experimenting with botanicals and other ingredients that have NOT been clinically shown to be toxic or carcinogenic, creating products to solve the problems his customers talked about.
It’s with that same spirit the company began to continue to build out MULTI-purpose, handmade better-for-you grooming products; solutions to the real issues men face daily. They developed products to enhance the everyday guy’s experience. They understand how painful ingrown hairs are. And how men want their skin to be moisturized without being greasy.
They’re married to the idea that men should be able to take care of themselves and not have to break the bank. That they shouldn’t have to use products packed with harmful chemicals just to look and feel like a boss.
Shop their vast list of products to get that perfect clean shave that you’ve been looking for!

Kaena is a boutique winery that sources from Tierra Alta Vineyard, La Presa Vineyard, and Larner Vineyard in the Ballard Canyon AVA , primarily. Mikael, who is part Hawaiian and was raised on the Oahu shores, uses a shortened version of his given name for the brand – Kaena – which means “potential for greatness”.
That “greatness” is evident in the wines – in 2006 Wine Spectator named Mikael one of the top 10 new Rhone producers. Known by his peers and fans as “The Grenache King” – Kaena produces 2000 cases of Rhone & other varieties with an emphasis on Grenache.
Mikael credits his success, growth and nickname to his passion for making truly handcrafted wines. He also credits his wife, Sally, for her design and management of the Kaena Tasting Rooms located in Los Olivos and Solvang, California.
