My Fashionista Era Store designs!

I’m so thrilled to be back here with you today because I’ve got something special to share—a project that’s been brewing in my heart for a while now: my very own makeup design set. It’s something I think every makeup lover will adore. But before we jump into the exciting world of colors, palettes, and creativity, I want to take a step back and talk about something a little more personal that’s been a big part of my life this year: my journey into gratitude journaling. It might seem like an odd pairing—makeup and gratitude—but stick with me, because they’re more connected than you might think. Let’s dive into both, starting with the journaling that’s changed my days, and then moving into the makeup set I can’t wait for you to explore.

A Year of Gratitude

This year, I decided to shake things up with a new resolution: keeping a gratitude journal. I’d heard about it before—friends mentioning it, articles popping up online—but I’d never given it a real shot until January rolled around. You might be wondering what gratitude has to do with makeup, and honestly, I’ve found it ties in beautifully. Designing this makeup set and sharing it with you isn’t just about creating something pretty—it’s about the joy it brings me and the appreciation I feel for being able to do this work. Every time I sketch a new shade or test a texture, I’m reminded how lucky I am to have this passion. That’s where gratitude comes in, and it’s turned into one of the most relaxing, grounding habits I’ve added to my routine.

Here’s how it works for me, and maybe it’ll inspire you to try it too. I keep it simple—no complicated rules, just a little structure to guide my thoughts. In the morning, I sit down with my coffee and a notebook, and I write down three things I’m grateful for. They don’t have to be big—sometimes it’s just the warmth of the sun streaming through my window or the smell of fresh coffee brewing. Other days, it’s something more personal, like hitting a milestone at work or hearing my mom’s voice on the phone. It takes five minutes, tops, but it starts my day with a positive lens, shifting my focus to what’s good before the chaos kicks in.

Then, at night, I wrap things up with an evening recap. I jot down one highlight from the day—a moment that stood out, something that made me smile or feel connected. It could be a funny text from a friend, a quiet minute with a cup of tea, or even a breakthrough idea for this makeup set. I keep a small journal by my bed, and it’s become this little ritual—pen in hand, reflecting on what went right. It’s not about ignoring the tough stuff; it’s about balancing it out, giving the good moments their due.

What’s it done for me? Honestly, it’s been a game-changer. I’ve noticed I’m more aware of the small joys I used to overlook—the way my neighbor waves every morning, the sound of rain on the roof. It’s boosted my mood, too—studies even back this up, saying gratitude can make you happier and less stressed. For me, it’s a way to stay grounded, especially when life gets busy or I’m deep into a project like this makeup set. It ties into my work because every design I create feels like a privilege, and journaling helps me appreciate that. I’d love for you to give it a try—grab a notebook, start small, and see how it feels. Now, let’s shift gears from that inner calm to the outer sparkle of my latest creation.

Introducing the Makeup Dream Set Artwork

Okay, here’s the part I’ve been itching to share: my new makeup design set! I’ve always seen makeup as more than just products—it’s an art form, a way to express yourself, boost your confidence, or just have fun. This set is something I’ve poured my heart into, designing it to be everything a makeup lover could dream of: versatile, high-quality, and packed with style. It’s not just about slapping on some color; it’s about giving you tools to play, create, and feel your best. Let me walk you through what’s inside and why I think you’ll love it as much as I do.

First up, the core of the set: five distinct palettes. I named them after emotions they bring out—Joy, Serenity, Passion, Mystery, and Wonder—because makeup’s all about feeling something when you wear it. Each palette has a mix of finishes: mattes for everyday looks, shimmers for a little sparkle, and a special texture I’m calling “Velvet Touch.” It’s this soft, blendable finish I worked hard to perfect—smooth like velvet, with a rich payoff that’s not too heavy. Joy might have sunny yellows and corals to lift your spirits; Serenity’s got calming blues and lavenders; Passion’s full of bold reds and deep plums; Mystery leans into smoky grays and purples; and Wonder mixes unexpected greens and golds. There’s something for every mood, every occasion—whether you’re going for a natural vibe or full-on drama. 

Then there are the limited edition items. These are the extras—think of them as treats for special days or when you want to splurge on yourself. I’ve put extra care into these: a creamy highlighter that catches the light just right, a glossy lip tint with a hint of shimmer, maybe a bold liner for those standout looks. They’re crafted for the makeup aficionados out there—the ones who live for that perfect detail. I kept them small-batch to make them feel exclusive, a little reward for anyone who loves the art of it as much as I do.

Why will you love this set? For one, it’s about quality meeting affordability. Right now, I’m offering a 30% discount on everything except the custom prints—perfect timing if you’ve been wanting to grow your collection or dip your toes into makeup for the first time. It’s versatile too—whether you’re a pro artist doing bridal looks or just someone who likes a quick swipe of color before work, there’s something here for you. And it’s ethical: all the products are cruelty-free, and a good chunk are vegan too. I wanted beauty that doesn’t hurt—something we can feel good about using.

How to Get Your Hands on It

Buying it is easy—I’ve kept the process simple so you can snag what you want without any hassle. Start by visiting my blog—that’s where I’ll be posting everything about this set: the designs, what inspired me, and tips for using it. To order, head to the contact section of my website. Just send me a message on my Instagram account  saying you’re interested in the “Makeup Dream Set,” and let me know if you want the 30% discount by grabbing three designs at once—it’s a little perk I threw in for you. 

Just go to my CONTACT section of my website and fill up the order form and I will be able to get back to you with payment info. The custom prints aren’t part of the discount, but if you’re into something personalized, feel free to ask about those too. They’re a way to make your collection one-of-a-kind—maybe a palette with your favorite shades or a print with your initials.

I’ve been testing these products myself, and it’s been a blast. The Joy palette’s been my go-to lately—those corals blend so smoothly, and the Velvet Touch texture makes it foolproof. I wore the Passion shades for a night out last week—deep plum on the lids, a shimmer in the corners—and got compliments all evening. It’s not just about the look; it’s how it feels to put it on—fun, creative, like a little boost for the day. That’s what I want for you too—a set that’s as enjoyable to use as it is to wear.

Connecting Gratitude and Glamour

Here’s where it all ties together: gratitude and this makeup set. As you explore these palettes or add them to your routine, I’d love for you to pair it with that journaling practice I mentioned. Think of applying makeup as a ritual—not just a rush to get ready, but a moment of self-love. When you pick up a brush or swipe on a color, take a second to reflect—what are you grateful for right now? Maybe it’s the creativity of the design, the chance to play with your look, or just the quiet joy of the process. For me, beauty’s not only about what’s on the outside; it’s about feeling good inside too.

I’ve started doing this myself. In the morning, while I’m blending a Serenity blue across my lids, I’ll think about three things I’m thankful for—my coffee, my son’s laugh, this project coming to life. At night, when I’m wiping it all off, I’ll note my highlight—maybe it was a kind email from a reader or nailing a tricky shade mix. It’s turned makeup into more than a routine; it’s a way to connect with myself. I’d encourage you to try it—pick a palette, put it on, and let it be a small celebration of what’s good in your day.

The Inspiration Behind the Set

Let’s rewind a bit—how did this makeup set even come to be? I’ve been into makeup since I was a teenager, sneaking into my mom’s stash to try her lipsticks and shadows. It wasn’t about looking perfect; it was about the fun of it—smudging colors, seeing what worked. That stuck with me, and over the years, I’ve doodled ideas for products I wished existed. This set started as sketches in a notebook—little swatches of color, names like “Joy” scribbled next to them. I wanted something that felt personal, not just another generic collection. 

The emotions came first. I’d think about what makeup does for me—how a bright shade lifts my mood, how a soft one calms me down—and built the palettes around that. Joy was inspired by sunny days and laughter; Serenity by quiet mornings; Passion by bold nights out. Mystery and Wonder came from those experimental moments—trying a smoky eye or a wild green liner just because. The Velvet Touch texture was a happy accident—I was testing formulas, aiming for something smooth but rich, and landed on this blend that felt like a dream to apply. It took months of tweaking—samples back and forth, late nights with a mixing brush—but seeing it come together has been worth every second.

Why This Matters to Me

This project’s close to my heart because it’s more than just makeup—it’s a piece of me I’m sharing with you. Creating it has been a joy, from the first sketch to the final product, and knowing it might brighten your day too fills me with gratitude. That’s why I tied it to this journaling idea—it’s all about appreciating the process, the craft, the connection. I’ve loved hearing from friends who’ve tested it—one said the Wonder palette made her feel adventurous; another raved about how easy Serenity was to blend. It’s not just about selling something; it’s about building a little community around beauty and positivity.

The discount’s my way of making it accessible—30% off everything but the custom prints, because I want you to jump in without breaking the bank. If you’re new to makeup, start with Joy—it’s forgiving and fun. If you’re a pro, Mystery’s got depth you’ll love playing with. And the ethical angle? That’s non-negotiable for me. No animals harmed, plenty of vegan options—it’s beauty I can stand behind.

Swing by my blog—I’ll be posting tons about it: behind-the-scenes stories, how I came up with each palette, tips for getting the most out of them. To order, head to my website’s contact section.

I’ve been living with these products for weeks now, and they’re a blast. The limited edition highlighter’s my current obsession—it’s subtle but catches the light perfectly. I wore it with the Passion palette for a dinner last weekend, and it felt like a mini confidence boost. That’s what I hope you’ll get too—a set that’s fun to use, easy to love, and pairs perfectly with a little gratitude.
