Who isn’t obsessed with lip gloss? After all, a simple swipe on your lips and your entire face can be brightened up in less than 10 seconds. Boston’s own makeup artist Joanne Ilacqua, owner of Adamo Day Spa in Cohasset, has just introduced a new line of natural lip glosses known as BostonMints in 12 different shades that feature fun Boston-based names like Go Sox, Newberry Street, Bean Towne, Rose Wharf, Swan Boat and T Party.
“I thought it would be cute to name the line after the city for a local touch and mints because of the minty taste,” Ilacqua said. “The idea of BostonMints has been in the works for a long time. Now we are getting into boutique shops. I think people love them because they are easy to carry in a little purse. The lip gloss can even be a high end souvenir that you take home with you to remember your visit to Boston.”
The glosses are available in large and purse sizes (which are also great for kids) and enhanced with Vitamins C and E, aloe vera and essential oils like spearmint to give them that extra minty flavor. BostonMints are available at Flock, 274 Shawmut Avenue in Boston as well as a variety of other retailers throughout the South Shore.
