It’s been a busy month for Slate Brands. On November 11, the beauty incubator released Mirrored Image, a fragrance developed in tandem with sisterly creators The Murillo Twins. Then, after making a name for itself through influencer collaborations, Slate launched its first in-house brand at the end of November.
The palindromic release date of Mirrored Image — 11/11 — is a nod to the reflective nature of the fragrance’s branding. The Murillos are 27-year-old identical twins who have shared a YouTube channel for more than six years, and their new product features the tagline “A Reflection of You.” To help their fans “see who you are,” Brittany and Briana Murillo have worked with Slate to develop a fragrance infused with scents like bergamot, pear, and currant. At the time of this post, the 79 bottles are currently sold out, but a waitlist is available.
Mirrored Image was the fourth product Slate brought to the market.

It might’ve been a Tuesday night in Hollywood, but the “Boomerang” cast, crew and exec. producer Lena Waithe were ready to celebrate “Waithe Wednesdays” at the Bet drama’s second season premiere.
“It’s a beautiful time, you know,” Waithe told Variety at the event’s green carpet, speaking to press for the third time in just over a week, after the events celebrating her role on HBO’s “Westworld” and her new Bet series “Twenties,” which debuted on the network March 4 with nearly two million viewers tuning in.

They’re ready to step into this new chapter where intersectionality is not, you know, abnormal, but it is the norm. And I really felt that love and that support.”

Waithe and Halle Berry are exec producing the remake of the 1992 movie, in which Berry starred alongside Eddie Murphy. They are joined on the team by by Dime Davis and Ben Cory Jones, who is showrunner on the series from Paramount Television and Bet Networks.
“Most of the shows I do are being pushed through a white filter. The most exciting thing about Bet and Paramount is that we speak the same language,” Waithe said Monday at TCA. “There is no, ‘Well can you have more joy in that moment of black pain’ – I don’t have to do that. That’s no shade at other partners I work for but the best thing is working with people who look like me and trust me. Black and honest as hell.”

The film isn’t one of the best of that period for Murphy. But it was one of the...
