  • Queen Lucy is back!

    So nice to have Luce back in my ears! I could listen to her talk all day, and love her super down to earth skin chat and easy to follow advice. Although last time she recommended one of my fave products from Sans Ceuticals and it has been sold out ever since, so sometimes I think we should keep Lucy as a secret MECCA treasure only!
