Lush to test new 'girlie' format on Carnaby Street

Fresh cosmetics group Lush is to launch a fragrance and make-up fascia, called B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful, in London this autumn.

The store is the brainchild of Lush co-founder and chief executive Mark Constantine, who promises the Carnaby Street shop will be a Pandora's Box of 'girlie' product.

Lush has 48 high street stores selling quirkily-named own-brand soaps and cosmetics.

In the year to June 30, 2002, Lush Retail made a£500,000 profit compared with a loss of£700,000 the previous year.
