Can you help edit my sentence
Hi, everybody
Can you check my sentence? I’m not sure if it sounds ok.
Kim, Kourtney and Khloe (the Kardashian sisters) notched up their clothing line and makeup collection earlier this year.
Note: I wanted to make this sentence sound informal. I’m trying to convey that the Kardashian sisters made achievements by launching their clothing line and makeup collection. Like in sports, you know. A team notches up its wins. Anyway, my try was to say that the sisters made achievements, but I couldn’t think of anything else than the verb "to notch up" to make it sound informal.
Thanks in advance!

Greetings, Changeling, If you notch up something such as a score or total, you achieve it. It is mainly used in journalism. Perhaps you should think of another way of presenting the same idea, as the collocation with clothing line is not a sure-fire decision: The Kardashian sisters launched their own clothing line and make-up collection earlier this year, and it proved to be a great success.

- The clothing line and make-up collection presented by the Kardashian sisters got off the ground earlier this year.
- Get off the ground is a colloquial expression, though it perfectly fits your context.
