I don't think she has.

Lauren has never once given me the impression that she feels she's above the show, the people who are on it, or whatever else in any way, shape, or form. That's not my impression of her at all.  Ben and Lauren never said they wouldn't do adds, just that it had to be a product they really cared about, so not like teeth whitening strips was I believe the direct quote. To me she seems normal for this show. Into fashion and beauty like them all. Friendly with other alums. Down to earth. People always speak very kindly and highly of her. I still maintain to some she  may appear aloof because she is reserved. I think it's her reserved nature that draws me to her. JMO.

Well said @sosleepy. And ITA

I couldn't care less about the shilling since they all do it, but I have to say Lauren's ring is still one of the ugliest I've ever seen. Silly Ben.

I like her ring. Especially the side detail.

She has a blog now. A very professional one but IMO that showcases she doesn't think she's above the product selling. Lots of women want to know what she's wearing or the makeup products she uses. She's smart if she can make some cash by sharing her fave clothes/jewelry/makeup with everyone.
It's also nice to see some "shilling" of a product I've never seen before. I'll admit it, I clicked on the tag to see the watches.

Do you remember Jillian's ring??! Lauren's ring isn't my fave either, but it's gorgeous compared to Jillian's Neil Lane mess. Lots of times I'm not a huge fan of Neil Lane. He goes overboard for my taste, and I prefer simple. JoJo's ring - now that's a style I love. Much prefer JoJo's ring to Lauren's. No matter. I think Lauren landed one of the best quality men The Bachelor franchise is capable of producing, and that is worth 100x the style of her ring.

^Jillian's ring was so bad. I think the only ring I have loved was Des'. I'm glad Lauren is happy with her ring as that's what matters most.

Poor Jillian and that ring. But she got to keep it so she probably doesn't care. Lol

Not a fan of Lauren's ring either, but if she is that's what matter. I'm a basic b!%#h and like the cushion cut, halo style with a split shank.

LOL, Jillian's was bad! I've only seen parts of her season, so had no recollection of the ring.

I'm sure Lauren loves her ring, because Ben gave it to her and she loves Ben, I just think it doesn't match her style at all. Her style is very classic and simple, so that massive intricate clunker sticks out like a sore thumb IMO.

Rings are personal things. All that matters is you are happy with your own, I guess. I could not wear a ring I was not happy with.

I actually think JoJo's ring is more Lauren's style, and Lauren's ring is more JoJo's style.  Too bad they can't switch! Maybe that's a risk you take when you get engaged to someone you hardly know. Where is that hiding behind the couch emoticon when you need one?
