About LUSH Cosmetics

Lush was founded in 1995 by six co-founders; Mo Constantine, Mark Constantine, Rowena Bird, Helen Ambrosen, Liz Bennett and Paul Greeves.

Emerging from the demise of a previous mail order business called Cosmetics To Go - a massive success that collapsed through a combination of over-trading and flooding - it was the same team that created and inspired this new venture called Lush.

Lush is 10% Employee Owned and our people are the heart and soul of our business.

While strolling through Turnstyle Underground Market, Petia Abdur-Razzaaq (HWIS Parent, Mandarin Grade 4) popped into the LUSH Cosmetics store on a whim to ask whether they'd consider donating a gift bag to the HWISPA-NY 2025 Silent Auction and--without skipping a beat--Zanea Seymour, Assistant Manager, replied with enthusiastic support of HudsonWay Immersion School's immersive bilingual education mission in the form of this sustainable, cruelty-free, vegan contribution to our community's cause!

After the first time F45 Lincoln Square South donated a 10-Class Pack to support HudsonWay in 2013, that year's winning bidder began recruiting other HWIS parents when their "innovative, high-intensity functional group workouts" quickly became a part of her fitness lifestyle ("the 'F' stands for functional training; 45 is the total amount of time it takes to get it done"). By 2024, you could find Amy Silverman (HWIS Parent, Mandarin Grades 5 & 2), Seajin Huh (HWIS Parent, Mandarin Grade 5), and Yelin Wen (HWIS Parent, Mandarin Grades 5 & 2) in multiple classes at F45 Lincoln Square South each week. You could also catch Arpit Srivastava (HWIS Parent, Mandarin Grade 5) in their studio as he had already been an F45 enthusiast for over two years. And if you head over to Queens, you might spot Carlyle Peake (HWIS Parent, Mandarin Grade 3 & Kindergarten) in their Long Island City location.

About sundays

I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself - I'm Amy, the founder of sundays, a nail care brand focused on wellness.

Going to the salon is about so much more than just getting your nails done - it's a small, but powerful way to practice self-care for your mind and body. It's the special treat you allow yourself to enjoy every one or two weeks. I designed sundays studio to feel like home, so that clients can feel comfortable and be themselves, without the hustle and bustle of rushing. Clients don't necessarily want to talk to anyone while they are getting their nails done, so they have the choice of listening to guided meditation while enjoying their favorite treatment.

While I was in nail school, I felt strongly about creating a non-toxic, salon-quality product and service that was safe for both clients and employees. I spent a year after I graduated from Columbia University with an MBA, working with a chemist to study the nail care products on the market and to create our own non-toxic nail polish formula, which is sundays' signature product.

I founded sundays on the values of individuality, simplicity, and wellness, which is also what I aspire to practice every day. I believe wellness is a journey, and not a one-size-fits-all solution, or an achievement to check off your to-do list, but a long-term goal.

sundays is so much more than nail care products: we're a community - our incredible employees, beautiful clients, and social followers that are passionate about wellness and have joined us in their own way, on this journey. Knowing that we all belong to the sundays community, knowing that we do not have to sacrifice for beauty because we can create options, because we encourage and support one another through self-care, self-love, and lots of practice.

Thank you for joining the sundays community and for your continued support. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about nail care. I'm more than happy to share anything I know and if not, we can learn together!
