Rose Mate Beauty Set

My name is Vera. I am an owner of a small business and recently started my personal Blog. 

In 2019, I founded my brand. At the end of 2019, I created my signature beauty product - the Rose Petals Blusher, designed as a shimmering bio-degradable box with rose petals placed inside. Currently, I sell the product mainly on my local online store. Also, the Blusher is listed on ETSY,  where I have sales in the US and Europe.

I made this Blush with the idea that it could lay the foundation for a small signature line of nature-inspired products of my beauty brand. Unfortunately, the global COVID-19 pandemic has harmed the sales as people's priorities have changed quite a bit. To survive, I tried dropshipping business with other people's products, but it didn't work out, and the only thing that is still selling well in my online store is the Rose Petals Blusher. The last thing I tried was to drop-ship bio-cosmetics, but that didn't work out, so I finally decided to focus on my creation instead and remove the dropshipping items.

The problem is that as of the beginning of October, there will only be one product left in my store - the Blusher. So I decided to add a matching lipstick to it and to make a set, even named the set-to-be "ROSE MATE".  

After quick research for a local decorative cosmetics manufacturer, I managed to find a company to produce the lipstick. They sent me samples, and I already chose an option, but the MOQ is 1000 pcs.

My challenge is that the sales revenues from the Blusher barely cover my business expenses so far. That said, I wouldn't make it without external investment for the second product.

Luckily I negotiated with a designer who will make pro-bono the design for the set box, but still, I don't have the funds to produce the lipstick and eventually launch a marketing campaign if the set is in place.

I would be eternally grateful to everyone who supports my small business and the creation of the "ROSE MATE" set, in particular.

The amount needed is 5,000 USD, as follows: 

• 2,800 USD will be spent on the production of the lipstick. 
• 2 200 USD will be allocated for the launch campaign of the set and all the other expenses.
