Over the years I've collected a lot of lipsticks, I know this is a lot smaller than most girls lipstick collection. I buy all these lip sticks with my own money and I'm not very out there when it comes to lip colors I just love a nude color and that's it. Sleek- I'm in love with sleek, Its become one of my favorite brands to buy from. There Matte me range is literally amazing and the color pay off is unreal. I got them as a set at Christmas and if im honest they have been my most worn lip colors in my collections. From Left to right list below: Rioja Red 433 Birthday Suit 436 Vino Tinto 1041 Shabby Chic 1037  Matte Me Metallic - Rusted Rose 1042 Matte Me Metallic Volcanic 1043 NYX: I love NYX as a brand, there products are literally amazing. At the moment the soft matte lip cream I have is the most worn lip colour in my collection. The colour is perfect and I just love the way it wears on my lips. I'm not a fan of the butter gloss I've...

I do not own this photo 1.  Soap & Glory Hello Super Spa (£15) This gift is so perfect for those ladies who love a good pampering.

Sometimes getting outside is all you need to do. For myself i love to explore national parks and little parks that are full of nature, I visited Bryn Bach Park which is near ebbw Vale. This park is beautiful it has a massive lake. I always like visiting national parks and taking some really nice pictures. I like to post really nice instagrams with some of the photos I've taken  @heylucieanne  . if you want to see more of my photos follow me over there..... Here of some of the photos I took with a Cannon Rebel XTI 18-35mm lens.

The festive season brings a lot of food and drink that we can only eat around December time. Christmas is one of my faves especially when it comes to food. (I dont own any of these photos) 1. Mince Pies I think this is a very difficult one. Many people dont like them, some people love them. Well I like them but not the original mince pies I'm more like the type to like the iced mince pies. Mr Kipling are the best I mean there are other brands but these are the best ones. 2.Christmas Cake Every year Christmas cake is one of my favorite things to eat. The one from Asda is literally my favorite. It something I like to eat when I have a coffee and watching a Christmas movie. It's basically fruit cake but it got an extra bit of a christmasy taste with it. 3. Clementines I love oranges all year around. But there is something about clementines at Christmas they just taste amazing. I always buy a box/crate, I like to cook with them as well as they bring a differe...

This year I really wanted to decorate my room to be super festive. Most of the things im about to show you is from Asda, They have such amazing festive bits this year they are killing it. Other bits are from Home bargains and pound land. The Christmas tree is very Asda. It's the snowy white one that is only two ft high. Its such a perfect fit to the style in my room. The lights that are on the tree they aren't that great so i bought some start copper lights from primark. I'm in love with this christmas tree and I literally enjoy waking up and seeing it on my desk. The only thing thats annoying was when i first set it up the snow just kept falling off but it still looks beautiful.  This bedding is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Its from Asda it wasn't that expensive, It has little reindeer and Christmas trees on it which I think is super festive. The cushions are super festive and they are from asda aswell. I think that they really brin...

Every year dreaming of a white Christmas sometimes becomes something that you think isn't going to happen. Living here in the UK we dont normally see a white Christmas. We have been blessed with having a lot of snow which makes me super happy don't get me wrong but its annoying when you have to work and you want to have a snow day. I live quite deep into the welsh valleys so when it snows it means that we are cut off from the rest of the other towns around us as the weather gets really bad. In wales we always get a lot of snow I live close to beacon so you can imagine when it snow it makes everything look so much more beautiful.It was a winter wonderland........ If you had snow leave in the comments telling me how bad it was?? Love Lucy xox Here are some pictures of the bountifulness

Hello My Lovelies, So I was casually watching Gabriella (VelvetGh0st on youtube) and she was talking about the body shop Bath Bombs and bubble bars. I had to go to the body shop and try them right away. I'm a massive lush bath bomb person when I heard the body shop have bought a range out I was eager to try them. The Prices for these products they are only £1.50!!! Which is insane!!!! The first one I decided to pick up was the mango bath bomb. I'm a massive fan of the body shops mango range as its one of my favorite senses. This one is a bath bomb so its pretty much like the lush bath bombs. This one turns the water orange and it literally smells beautiful. It leaves your skin smelling insanely amazing and super soft.The shape is a flying saucer.  It fizzes away just like a normal bath bomb would. I love that you only need to use one you don't need to use two as there is enough for one bath.  The next one I picked up was the Coconut Bath bubble. I'...

Hey My Lovelies!! The holiday season is in full swing. This can only mean one thing lots of Christmas parties and other events aswell. I popped into my local superdrug and boots and also primark beauty range too.  Lets get into it...... This month I was really looking to have a new mascara. I've just discovered the Maybelline lash sensational. I have two there is a bit of story about it, basically I went into superdrug and i was half asleep as it was first thing in the morning and I picked up the brown version of this didn't even think until I come to using it. But it must be said it still is amazing I now have the brown and black versions now. It makes my lashes look insane they look super long and voluminous. Its the best one i've tried in a long time.  I'm in love with the Maybelline color tattoos. I have the bronze one and the rose pink one as well. The bronze is one of my favorites. I needed a gold eye shadow that had a lot of pigment to do a look that ...

I own this photo Do you open any presents on Christmas Eve?   On Christmas Eve its a tradition for me and my mum to open a present from each other and its always matching PJ'S. Every year since I was 15 we have kept this tradition and thats the only present that I will open on Christmas eve. What holiday traditions are you looking forward to most this year? On Christmas Eve we always watch its a wonderful life as a family. Its been a tradition for about 3 years,my family will gather in the living room with popcorn and hot chocolate and watch the movie. Is your Christmas tree real or fake? My Christmas tree is actually fake, I've never really been into having a real one as I feel it needs a lot of maintenance and I'm not always home to make sure it all going okay and clean the mess up after it. What is your favorite Christmas film? My favorite Christmas movie, now this is a tough one. I love Elf it...

Today's post is about lifestyle products I've loved  throughout the month of February. stay tuned for more posts from me. The Girl On The Train: Being a commuter catching the train to college, first thing gives me time to do some light reading before i start my day. I fell in love reading this book. I liked how it was very gripping as soon as you start reading. It took me a few weeks to finish but when eventually finished the book. I wanted to keep reading more of the author's books. Rose gold phone case (Amazon) This month i was lucky enough to be gifted a new Mobile phone. I have the Sony Xp M4 Aqua and i saw this case on amazon. It cost around £4.99 and was here within days of placing the order. One thing i will say about this case is that it does scract easily so bear that in mind.it was a mental bumper on the outside which is shock proof. Limited Edition Black and White Handbag (Primark £18) This month my favourite handbag broke which made ...
