LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Your childhood wouldn't have been the same without these flavored lip glosses, but as of March, Bonne Bell will be laying off all of its employees and you will have to say goodbye to the beloved Lip Smacker.
California-based Markwins International Corp. is expected to take over Lip Smackers and other Bonne Bell cosmetics upon the end of Bonne Bell.
Help us in strengthening the congregations of Catholic Sisters
"Markwins has a proven track record of creating excitement and bringing innovation to the cosmetic category," Jess "Buddy" Bell, Jr., founder of Aspire Brands says in a statement to Cleveland.com. "They will bring the same excitement and innovation to the Lip Smacker and Bonne Bell brands. I am excited about the future of the Lip Smacker and Bonne Bell brands under Markwins ownership."
However, they will only be distributing the products in Asia, Australia and Europe, according to Cosmopolitan.
Glory to Marriage! Celebrate with us throughout February--
