She wore her luscious brunette locks in loose curls, and defined her big brown eyes with heavy eyeliner, taupe shadow and added a slick of pink lip gloss on her pout.
Lucy appears to following in the same footsteps as former co-star Sam Faiers, who recently launched her own perfume, La Bella.
‘It's a dream come true to have my own fragrance. As a little girl growing up I could never imagine having my own perfume,’ she told Reveal Magazine.

‘I've worked really hard for months on it and I'm really proud of it. It smells gorgeous and the butterfly bottle is just adorable, I love it!’
Meanwhile, her sighting comes after returning home from the Middle East following the revelation that she has split from TV presenter Gethin Jones.
She explained the situation by saying that their brief romantic union was 'bad timing' for both of them.
Speaking in an interview with new! magazine, Lucy explained she and the 36-year-old Welshman mutually decided to call time on their liaison after the pressures of their busy careers put pressure on the relationship.

Lucy and Gethin - who was previously engaged to opera singer Katherine Jenkins - were first linked to each other back in August, before being spotted holding hands while on a date the following month.
But although they have called time on their fleeting romance for now, the Essex-based boutique owner insisted she and Gethin have remained friends.
Lucy said: 'We’re not dating. We went out a few times a while ago but it was bad timing for both of us.
'I was so busy after Tumble and he travels a lot, so it wasn’t the best time.'
Insisting she and Gethin were never 'official', Lucy added: '[We're in touch] as friends. He’s the nicest guy. It was a mutual thing.'
