After experiencing an exhilarating and exciting Holiday Season, 
Lily & Violet took a bit of time off skiing and snowboarding up at 
Sunday River, Maine and Stowe, Vermont (respectively) 
to rejuvenate and revitalize in preparation
for a super-successful and "ever-so" progressive" Year 2001.

Lily has a plethora of inspirational "beauty sound-bites" for 2001, striving to help all of her exceptionally busy customers look and feel "real good", regardless of their stress level.

It is hard to believe how many women don’t have the time to take care
 of themselves when they need it most.
Lily’s advice to those recuperating from the post-Holiday blues 
(results of overspending, overeating and overall overdoing),
 is to take care of yourself in the comfort of your own home.

Lily lives to discover über-unique, interesting and highly effective beauty secrets 
that lie waiting "out there" in the beauty stratosphere.

Bold lipstick and nails are surely one way to brighten up those dark, dreary days. 
The conclusion of the most recent episode of Ask Lily, 
(was when Lily was moving from Midtown, Manhattan to trendy Chelsea, Manhattan), 
left Lily looking for a good manicurist.


Product ID #Tweezer10030 & Tweezer10040


Lily is always on "the move" lately, so she takes great pleasure in indulging herself in beauty products right in the privacy of her home. Each week Lily gives herself a top-rate manicure and pedicure using her Tweezerman Manicure and Pedicure Kits. Simultaneously she dons her new Payot Clay Face Masque (developed by Dr. Nadia Payot) and Bumble & bumble Deep 
Treatment Masque for the hair, which proves to be incredibly relaxing for the soul and refreshing for the body.
Bumble & bumble 
Super RIch Conditioner and 
Deeep Treatment Masque.

Lily's current Nail Polish and Lipstick "de rigueur" has been the
 Diego Dalla Palma 1950’s #103 Nail Polish and matching 1950’s Lipstick #803. 
 A sophisticated red that looks great with everything for every occasion.  

She alternates her red with a smashing hot pink, the
Diego 1950’s #802 Lipstick and matching 1950’s #102 Nail Polish, that looks so chic with 
black or navy blue. 
 Bold colors that will "wake up" any face.

With the drastic drop in temperature
 and the stress of moving from
 Midtown to Chelsea, Lily’s face was looking dry, stressed, tired and old.
(It just can’t be true!)

Ahava Mineral Serum - $60.00
Product ID - Ahava40040

 




The solution: Time to work in a Serum into Lily’s daily skin care regimen to add an intensive dose of moisture to nourish and hydrate the skin.  
The results; fresher, more youthful-looking skin. Lily alternates between the 
Ahava Mineral Serum and the Annemarie Börlind Intensive Care Capsules 
(featured in the recent postcard mailing of Ski Lily), using them both day and night 
and always applying a moisturizer on top. 


Börlind Intensive Care Capsules - $70.00
Product ID - Product ID Borlind20055

The Intensive Care Capsules contain a natural active ingredient concentrate which instantly and noticeably gives
the skin "extra" care and hydration.

 Break open these capsules and apply this fantastic gel to your 
face & neck in the evening after cleansing 
& toning.  Ideal for repairing dry, stressed 
and sun damaged skin.

Whether Lily roller blades around Chelsea Piers (Manhattan) or through Morton Park (Plymouth, MA, "America's Home Town"),
the effects of Lily's hectic life coupled with the environment, make Serums "must-have items" in Lily's beauty vanity from November through March.  Use a Serum to prevent dull, dry and lifeless looking skin during the colder, 
dryer months of the year.

Then there's Iris. 
Iris is loving life in her new 7500 square foot house in the Happy Valley of Western Massachusetts. Iris wrote about the Cali skin care products last month and is "ever-so crazy" for these Olive Oil products.

Yes, Iris gushed about the Cali from Italy Cleanser and Day Cream last month 
and even though she’s not particularly excited about adding extra steps to her skin care regimen, Iris can't resist using the Cali Night Cream and Eye-Wrinkle Cream every night, due to the fabulous effect these olive oil products 
are having on her skin.
 
To illustrate how much she loves her Cali skin care items, Iris displayed 
her sentiments by using her beautiful Pug, Belle-Air, 
as a model in this advertisement.

Iris was feeling so ecstatic with the improvement in her skin, that it encouraged her to make a courageous change from her many years of "brown-shaded" lipsticks, to colors much more vibrant and alive. Took a lot for Iris to make the move, however, seeing Lily’s constant bright red lipstick year round, she finally exclaimed, "I need color! Not a bright red or a scary color, something that will look good and match everything!"

So… she went from years of the Diego Dalla Palma #110, #103 and #85 brown-shaded Lipsticks (which are very nice, however, are brown tones), she selected the Diego Dalla Palma #107, a beautiful watermelon red. 
As Iris exclaims with enthusiasm, "What attracted me to the #107 Lipstick, is that it's a pink, peach and red rolled into one".

 #85     #103 #107 #107

Product ID Diego10001 - $16.50

Iris alternates between using the Diego 1950’S Lip Gloss 
in a Pink (Number #901) or Lavender (#902) on top of the #107 
to create other colors within the same color spectrum.  
Once in a while, she sneaks in her brown lipsticks (habits are hard to break)
 and applies the Diego 1950's Light Brown Lip Gloss (#901) 
or Darker Brown Lip Gloss (#902) over the #110, #103, #85 
to create other shades of color.   
Iris now has a selection of sophisticated "Lipstick looks"
 to swing her into Spring.


Then there's Violet, 
Lily's trusted Associate at Lily's. 
Violet is a member of the Generation X Genre
 and  provides Lily with great insight into what the 
"young, hip, stylish and restless" are into these days.

Violet's hair color changes each month (she looks great in every color!)
 and she currently prefers the Bumble & bumble Color Support System, 
a new "high tech" system that enhances and
 protects the color of the hair between appointments.

The five (5) Shades of the Color System all have three (3) steps, 
including the Shampoo, Conditioner and Styling Lotion. 
Violet currently favors "The Red Series". 
She promotes all five colors, including the "Cool Blonde", 
"Golden Blonde", "Cool Brunette" and "Warm Brunette" shades. 
When she goes Blonde, she'll probably use the Cool Blonde Series
 designed for blonde bombshells and silver foxes. 
 Cool tones like platinum and white blonde, which can look brassy, are neutralized by  the "violet" in the Cool Blonde series, because "violet" counteracts the hair color.


Give Violet a call at Lily's and she'll go through the
 Five Shades of the Bumble Color Support Series.

Violet hardly ever stays home, having quite the active social life.
 If and when she is plagued by skin flare-ups,
 she reaches for her "U Skin Care Series" by Annemarie Börlind of Germany.



U Series - $94.00
ProductID Borlind70010, 70020, 70030, 70040, 70050

The U Series is specifically designed for blemished skin. 
The Series includes a Milky Cleanser, Toner, Day and Night Cream
 that will heal and prevent blemishes. 
Even Violet, at her young age, uses the Night Cream because 
she feels it "heals" her skin overnight. 

For more severe cases of acne, check out the Dado Sens skin care line 
(on the Börlind Online Order Form, Product ID 80010, 80020, 80030, 80040, 80050)
also produced by Annemarie Börlind in the Black Forest of Germany.

Since Lily is constantly adding new fragrances to the Fragrance Counter, she couldn’t resist giving Violet a new fragrance to wear on her birthday and she chose the Alchimie Eau de Parfum by Rochas.  An elegant fragrance with Notes of Black Current, Jasmine and Sandalwood. The matching Body Lotion is quite nice and keeps the fragrance lingering throughout the day and night.

And then there’s Hyacinth…
Lily’s pal from California who relocated to Plymouth and now works at Lily's.

Hyacinth is intrigued by the Bumble & bumble hair products and comments,
"I am writing on behalf of all the 'skinny hairs' in the world 
(you know who you are). Nothing stays, nothing curls, nothing styles, bobby pins don’t work and your bad hair days outweigh your good hair days!"

‘"I tried perming until my hair fell out and even tried hair extensions 
(A gazillion bucks, hurts like the dickens and the color never matches your own!)"

Says Hyacinth, "The end of bad hair days, the pot of gold at the 
end of the rainbow…."
"Bumble & bumble, 'the couture hair care line du-jour". 
"And I can even afford it!"

"I strongly recommend the Thickening Shampoo or Gentle Shampoo, 
Super Rich Conditioner or Leave-in Conditioner, the Prep Spray, 
the Thickening Spray, the Styling Cream and the Holding Hairspray 
to hold it all together".


"All but the Holding Hairspray goes on in the shower. 
I now wash my hair every other day (Lily keeps advising me to go three days) 
and the day I don’t wash it, it looks even fuller and thicker than the day I do wash it. The time spent on all these steps is worth it, especially when my hair looks more alive and I save time the next day by doing nothing to it."

Continues Hyacinth, "Buy the 2 oz. Bumble sample sizes to experiment with.  They also make great gifts for friends you really like!" Hyacinth is very enthusiastic about her Bumble products. 
Feel free to email Hyacinth at Lily's if you want to hear more about Skinny Hair.

And then there's Gardenia, Lily’s Mother, who is enjoying alternating between the Annemarie Börlind LL Series for Mature Skin and the Cali Olive Oil Products that Iris loves. She looks great. 
 Poppy, Lily’s Father, uses the 
Cali Olive Oil Soap, the Luxho Banho 
Olive Oil Soap and the Ahava Salt Soap 
He uses them all now. We've gotten 
him to stop saving the soaps and to use them.

 And what about Dandy-Lion, Lily’s
husband?
  A tri-athlete who alternates between the Annemarie Börlind Q-10 Moisturizer 
for his face containing Cucumber 
and the Annemarie Börlind Rose Dew Night Cream 
He uses both creams during the day.
  He wouldn’t dream of applying a Night Cream at night!

Dandy-Lion looks pretty good.
He can’t deny the benefits of using a Moisturizer on his face, 
much as he’d like to.

 (Men have skin that needs nourishing too!)
   He finishes it off with the Grigio Perla 
Men’s Cologne from Milan, Italy.
 This Ultra-sexy scent contains 
"exotic woods"
 and is further defined by 
"notes of Amber and Sandalwood".

And that's about it for this month.  We hope you've enjoyed reading about Lily & Her Friends and their escapades.   Tune in next month to hear about "what's hot" and "what's not" in the effort to beat "those winter blue's".  
We've got lot's of suggestions that you'll never be blue. 

Until then......
