Happy 24th Birthday LUSH!!
LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics, as you know and love today, was first started in 1995 in Poole, England. Founded by Liz Weir, Mark Constantine, Mo Constantine, Rowena Bird and Helen Ambrosen. Each bringing their own unique and incredible talents to the business.
For more than 24 years, LUSH has been creating fresh handmade cosmetics for customers all over the world. However it wasn’t always this way.
Mark Constantine and Liz Weir first met in the early ‘70s while working at a beauty salon in the tiny seaside town of Poole, England. Both were interested in natural beauty products, so decided to create a business of their own.
The duo developed a small operation called Constantine & Weir making hair products for local herbalists and salons, including The Body Shop. Later, with the help of Mo Constantine, Rowena Bird and Helen Ambrosen, concoct small batches of products made from their own recipes—and as The Body Shop gained popularity in the ‘80s, owner Anita Roddick bought the best-selling formulas and parted ways, leaving Constantine & Weir free to start a new venture.

Cosmetics To Go
CTG exploded onto the cosmetics scene in a burst of colorful catalogs and never-before-seen items such as bath bombs, solid shampoo bars and massage bars. The founders were able to experiment and play with ingredients, innovate and focus on issues close to their hearts, like fighting against animal testing. They developed a buying policy that ensured that no supplier tested on animals and funded work that highlighted alternatives to animal testing. LINK
Unfortunately, this serene period came to an abrupt end. After six years, they'd blazed through all their money and found themselves bankrupted.
Because of this humbling beginning this has brought us where we are today, celebrating our 24th birthday!
Celebrating our 24th birthday LUSH is implementing a new Kiosk system.
Features On Our Kiosk System:
Our goal with this new technology is to help with employee-customer interaction.
Employee Training:
Before the Kiosk are installed employees will be asked to hand out flyers to customers to announce our new technology. As well as our sales going on during this time, 15% off using our auto-delivery and customers will receive a 24% off their purchase for LUSH's 24th birthday.
Lastly, I would like to thank the LUSH family for all the hard work you have made in contributing to our mission. We here at LUSH appreciate everyone's hard work and dedication to this company over the years. Thank you again for us celebrate our 24th birthday and our new technologies with you.
