Gomez, who underwent a kidney transplant in 2017 related to her lupus, has been focusing on her health and mental well-being.

And for that reason her work has been taking somewhat of a backseat during the past couple of years or so.

She last released a single in May 2018; Back To You was from the soundtrack to season 2 of the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why.

Also in 2018 she lent her voice once again to the character of Mavis in Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation and she was part of the cast of Jim Jarmusch’s film The Dead Don’t Die that was released in theatres in June.

Now that she’s focusing more on her career again, Gomez, who already has partnerships with Coach and Ouma, is set to create her own signature beauty line.

According to Women’s Wear Daily, her production company, July Moon Productions, filed a trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office back in July.

The line will include a long list of beauty products that includes ‘fragrances, cosmetics, skin-care preparations, hair-care preparations, soaps, moisturizers and essential oils.’
