The teen behind the infamous "eyebrows on fleek" meme first shared on Vine in 2014 is now on a new mission to crowdfund a cosmetics line, which she describes as her dream.

Kayla Newman (or Peaches Monroee on Vine) is a Colorado native currently living in Georgia. She recently launched a GoFundMe page asking for financial help to support her dream.

Newman wrote on the page that she never received the recognition or financial credit for her famous phrase despite the internet craze it caused.

Viral stars like the Chewbacca mom have made fortunes off of their 15 seconds of internet fame.

“So it brings me to say that I want to start a cosmetic and hair extension line, but I don't have any money to do so,” she wrote.

So far, Newman has raised a little more than $9,000 of her $100,000 goal.

If you want to help Newman, who is currently studying nursing at her college, you can donate to her page here.
