This
month's Edition: How fast time does time fly?
We couldn’t
believe when it was New Years and we can’t
believe it’s almost Spring.
The time flies by
so fast and we somehow we forget to take care of ourselves.
Worse, it ends up being "a chore" to take care of oneself.
Lily & her
Friends are super-busy for sure,
however, always make the time to pamper themselves with the
fabulous "beauty essentials" offered at Lily’s.
Lily is loving her
new digs in Chelsea, New York,
so close to the fashion district and accessible to the
F & N trains which easily take her Uptown to her favorite stores
like Saks, Bergdorf’s & Henri Bendel,
as well as to her downtown favorites like Shu, Face, Sephora and MAC.
You know New
York, it’s all about "location, location, location".
Regardless of what
Lily is up to and where she is traveling,
great looking hair "is so everything",
so she makes it a ritual to use the Bumble & bumble
Deep Treatment Hair Masque once a week.
 |
The Deep Treatment
Masque is perfect
for chemically-dependent
and seriously parched hair,
including color junkies, permaholics,
styling addicts and sun worshipers.
Available in 5 oz. for $20.99
and 2 oz. for $11.99 .
|
Remember seeing the
Bumble Hair Masque recently featured in the
March 2001 Edition of In-Style Magazine?
"I love how
the Deep Treatment Masque makes
my hair feel silky soft and healthy!", exclaims Lily.
"It’s a rich masque, compared to others, yet not heavy.
I create my own 'spa-like environment' wherever I am and
the hair and face masque has become part of the weekly
ritual",
Lily matter-of-factly concludes.
The longer you leave it in, the more deep treatment your hair receives.
Rinse it out thereafter and continue on with your Bumble Styling
Products.

After washing her
hair with either the Bumble & bumble Gentle or Tonic Shampoo
(both add moisture to the hair and scalp which is essential to dry
hair),
Lily applies the Bumble Deep Treatment Masque,
combs it through her hair allowing it to soak in for an hour.
Lily recently tried
the Payot Gentle Clarifying Clay
Masque from Paris, France and was so excited,
she added the Clay Masque to her beauty vanity.
Lily is now offering this Payot Masque under Fragrances & Extra's
until she adds a Payot drawer to her beauty vanity.

Currently,
the Payot Masque is
considered an "Extra".
As Lily adds more Payot products to
the store, you’ll see a new
drawer in Lily’s vanity for the
Payot products.

Developed by Dr.
Nadia Payot, the Clay Masque is positively fantastic,
"One of the best masques I’ve ever tried" exclaims Lily.
"It feels great to apply, dries nicely on the face and once washed
off,
the face feels deep cleansed and refreshed", Lily emphatically
continues.
Lily alternates the
Payot deep cleansing clay masque with the
Annemarie Börlind Anti-Stress Masque,
which is a smoothing and firming gel masque.

Referred
to as "a mini-face lift", this masque contains tissue-firming
protein obtained from carrots formulated to invigorate and revitalize
the skin,
while gently reducing the appearance of fine lines.
Lily recently
visited Iris in the Happy Valley and had a ball
drinking coffee, playing on the computer and talking all afternoon.
Iris’s house is fantastically huge and wonderfully decorated,
computers all over the house and beauty products galore.
Lily never wants to leave when she visits.
Lily brought Iris a
tube of the Payot Ultra-Soft
Soothing Cleanser to experiment with and Iris later
insisted that Lily buy it for the store.
"A must-have
item for how soft it made my skin feel", gushed Iris.
"My skin tends to get flaky this time of year and the Payot
Ultra-Soft
Cleanser seemed
to add much-needed hydration and
neutralize the texture of my skin!"
Needless to
say, Lily is adding this item to her beauty vanity.
Look for the Payot Ultra-Soft Soothing Cleanser under
"the Extra’s" of the Fragrances & Extra’s
Online Order Form.

Iris has been using
the Bumble & bumble Color Support System for
Warm Brunettes and
is just crazy about it.
Iris says, "I
tend to change my color tones,
with the base always being
the Warm Brunette.
The Warm Brunette Color Series definitely
gives 'lift' to my color".
She enthusiastically continues,
"The Color Support System actually makes my color stay richer,
longer.
And for the price of coloring and foils these days, the Bumble &
bumble
Color System extends the time between my appointments".
"If I go
darker, I can always switch to the Cool Brunette Series,
which I know I would love".
Continues Iris,
"Keep in mind that I alternate these products with my other
favorite
Bumble shampoos, so it lasts forever!"
"I still
have the Warm Brunette Shampoo, Conditioner & Styling Lotion from
the Fall, a better INVESTMENT than the Stock Market these days",
jokes Iris (she has such a sense of humor).
Lily then spent
a week in New York with her long-time business associate,
Carnation. Carnation is a native New Yorker who resides in the
Theatre District and "is in the know" of what’s happening
around the city.
Carnation recently
got his Master’s Degree in Finance from
NYU and works with Lily doing medical/legal consulting work for
The City of New York City.
(Lily did this for
15 years before opening her beauty emporium
in Plymouth, Massachusetts.)
Anyway, Carnation has always loved the sexy colognes that Lily’s
carries
and has been spreading "the Grigio Perla" Cologne message all
over New York.
He gets compliments in every nightclub he visits, so he's now a huge
Grigio fan.

For those of you
who don’t know,
Grigio Perla is a sophisticated
Men’s Cologne from Milan, Italy that smells unbelievably
"macho" on almost every Man who wears it.
Carnation,
Dandy-Lion, (Lily’s husband) and Poppy (Lily’s husband),
have worn the Grigio Perla Cologne and the Shower Gel
for a year and are still amazed at the compliments they get when wearing
this scent.
Well, when Grigio
Perla recently introduced their new cologne called "Touch",
these guys went crazy over the scent (and so did Lily & the girls, for
that matter)
are once again are setting the trend by wearing this very exclusive
cologne.
The
Top Notes: Cinnamon Leaves, Bergamot and Cardamom
The Middle Notes: Cedarwood, Jasmine & Lily of theValley
The Dry Down: Musk, Tonka Bean, Vanilla & Amber
Coming soon will be
the Touch After-Shave Face Balm,
a wonderful moisturizer to apply to the face after shaving
(Women love Men with great looking and smelling skin).
Back to Carnation…
One day he arrived at his office limping and when questioned about his
limp,
he reluctantly said that his girlfriend, (who happens to be a Registered
Nurse)
attempted to scrape the dead skin off of his feet and went "a little
too far".
(No kidding, this is a real story).
Why would someone of
Carnation’s knowledge of the finer
things in life resort to such primitive grooming tactics,
especially when his friend Lily has something in her beauty vanity for
everybody.
Lily was using the
new Organic Body Polish
she recently added to the store and offered it to Carnation to put him out
of his misery.
The Organic Body Polish contains crystals of pure Sea Salt
to exfoliate the outer layer of dead skin (vs. a knife),
unclog the pores and prepare the skin for deep absorption of the emollient
oils.
Featured on the Fragrances & Extra's Online
Page.
The Organic
Body Polish is available in 3 scents;
Calming (lavender, rose, geranium and rosewood)
Product ID Body Polish 10010
Warming (cinnamon, clove and ginger),
Product ID Body Polish 10020
Clearing (fir needle, sage, cedar, eucalyptus)
Product ID Body Polish 10030.
The Body Polish
"did the trick" for Carnation’s dry feet,
(who by the way, now swears by this product and who also
vows to keep all sharp objects away from his girlfriend).
Use the Organic Body Polish to remove dead skin on the feet and
all over, however, use a different Exfoliator for the face, please.
Read the Lily Hot-Line for advise on Exfoliators.
Meanwhile, Violet
had the wonderful opportunity to go snowboarding
again up in Stowe, Vermont.
She continued to
use the Annemarie Börlind U Series
on her face, particularly the Night Cream.

Violet faces the
challenge of oily skin, combined with the dryness
from daily snowboarding in the harsh, cold weather.
Albeit Gen X,
Violet has reconciled herself to the fact that the
U Series Night Cream is a necessity to her nightly beauty ritual.
She loves how the U Night Cream nourishes and heals
her skin while she sleeps, so she uses it consistently
no matter how late she goes to bed (and sometimes that's real late).
Violet adds the
Annemarie Börlind Exfoliating Peel to her weekly skin care regimen,
as it unclogs her pores, reduces the occurence of acne and removes dead,
dry skin.

Violet is all excited
about the addition
of
the new Acca Kappa Spa line from Italy to Lily's beauty vanity.
Acca Kappa was just added to The Men’s Shop Page.
Lot’s of Men (cute one’s too)
are visiting the store asking to try out the White Moss
& Cedar scented Shave Foam, Cream, Soap, Shower Gel and
Face Moisturizers offered by this very cool spa line.

The prices are

He’ll love any item from the line,
so buy a few pieces at these amazingly low prices and
show him how much you care.
The 2 Women’s
items offered in Lily's beauty vanity
are the St. John’s Wort Body Lotion ($25.00 for 10.4 oz.)
and the Evening Primrose Body Cream (retailing at $42.50 for 6.7 oz.).
Both items are featured on the Fragrances & Extra’s Online Page.
Watch for more
information on this new, interesting, unique and high quality
Italian Spa Line

Have a good month and
remember to take care of yourself every week in some small way.
You deserve it.
Until next
month……
