Laura Harrier Covers Porter Magazine-Chic and Beating the Hollywood Heat!

ArianneUpdated on June 4, 2020June 4, 2020

Laura Harrier is enjoying a career that some girls can only dream of and envision in their minds. From starring in a Marvel film with Spiderman; working with an Oscar winning visionary on BlacKKKlansman; to being cast in a Netflix original. Harrier is having success… but still keeping her eyes WIDE open. This month, Laura Harrier Covers Porter Magazine and she talks about the truth in Hollywood; in front and behind the camera.

FASHION NOTES: In this edition of Porter, Laura also wears a plethora of designer ensembles. Just a few include looks by: Azzedine Alaia, Alexander McQueen, Loewe and Simone Rocha. Chic!

Laura Harrier Covers Porter Magazine-Chic and Beating the Hollywood Heat

Hollywood. It’s one interesting place. It’s the realm of the Golden Era of film; yet a landfill of unkind and sad mistreatment. The same home of glitz and glamour that had separate entrances and regulations for black actors and actresses. While some got to portray queens and ladies of leisure; others were unfortunately only in “heart-warming” stories of slaves, housemaids and hard up entertainers.

However, the industry has made some strides. Black actors and actresses have been able to be the Queens, heroes and intellectual (hi Hidden Figures) role models in various film roles. Yet, there is still more that can be done. Some of these roles are still far and in-between of what they can be. Representation is important for all; it’s what helps build confidence and inspiration in others.

In Porter Magazine, actress Laura Harrier dives into this subject matter. Regarding their story with Harrier, Porter Magazine states,

“From Spike Lee’s Oscar-winning ‘BlackKklansman’ to Ryan Murphy’s star-studded new show Hollywood; actor Laura Harrier is carving out an impressive career. She talks to Porter about swapping red carpets for Zoom calls. The strength in community; and the importance of representation in front of and behind the camera.

[Head online] to read the interview and see more from the story. Shot by Sonia Szostak and styled by Danielle Goldberg.”

As one can see, there is much to be learned from those in the “trenches” of Hollywood. Hopefully, open discussion such as this one between Harrier and Porter will help change the movie and television status quo.

Fenty Beauty Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick-Bright Like a Diamond!

Arianne Suggs May 29, 2020May 29, 2020

If there’s two things that the world has come know is that Rihanna doesn’t play when it comes to her fashion or her makeup! And she doesn’t want her fans to sacrifice their fabulousness either. Her latest development? The Fenty Beauty Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick collection that is dropping June 2020!

What can makeup lovers expect? Major glow and major tone! Slip Shine is coming in hot in 10 new gorgeous shades. Ranging from sultry nudes to “in your face loud and clear;” vibrant, bode hues.

Fenty Beauty Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick-Bright Like a Diamond!

Our favorites in the Brady Beauty bunch? A purple and brown shade that will knock your cosmetics socks off! The decadent brown shade is being called BUBBLERUM (omg we Stan the name alone on this one lol). It’s a feisty chocolate hue with a light sparkly shine.

Our second obsession to come out of this lipstick collection is a TANTALIZING purple shade being hailed as VAMPS WHO BRUNCH. Shoot… We like brunch. We enjoy brunch. So why not have a stunning plum lipstick for the occasion? This little beauty is going inside our makeup cases ASAP.

What’s so cool about this entire lineup is that you get the traditional bold Fenty lipstick scheme just a little more muted. So if you are the beauty that likes a little color but not SO much then you will love Slip Shine.

Additionally, if you are the type of lip color fan that struggles between their love of lipstick and lipgloss; then honey… you’re Home (Lol). Fenty Beauty’s Slip Shine comes across as a beautiful harmonious hybrid between a lipstick and lip gloss. Seriously, it’s like your favorite lippie and gloss in your makeup bag had a cute baby. Slip Shine gives your lips exactly what they crave most… color and “you know you want to kiss me” shine.

Fenty Beauty Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick-Bright Like a Diamond (Continued)

Moreover, another aspect to love about Fenty Beauty’s latest release is the undeniable moisture. The one thing that some dislike about wearing lipstick is that some formulas can dry your lips out. Leaving you with chapped, flaking skin which no amount of color looks nice sitting on top.

Fortunately, Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty changes all of that. The brand not only promises great lip colors but more of the good stuff your lips need to look absolutely amazing. In regards to Slip Shine Fenty Beauty reveals,

“Hey Fenty Family, we’re excited to share with y’all a lot something new that we had in the works! Our Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick is dropping in 10 easy to wear, creamy, and nourishing shades!
