Lush Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter Review

I picked up this beauty when Lush was discounting stock after Christmas, and I'm so glad I did. It had never caught my eye before, but with a discount and a delicious lemon scent, I couldn't leave it behind. I will now be back to pay full price for this product.

This is an incredibly thick, buttery formula that melts into the skin. It is a butter/balm, not a cream. This makes it perfect for particularly dry areas as it absorbs well, but is thick enough to last. It is very nourishing and luxurious, and almost leaves you feeling like you have been at the spa. Application of this product is perfect after a shower, before bed, or in a moment of downtime, as it will leave you a little greasy. Like almost every Lush product, the scent is strong, but it is personally one of my favourites. If you want something without a scent, you will be better heading in the direction of the Trilogy Everything Balm.

A little goes a very long way with this product, however because Lush does have a shorter expiry on their products, I used this generously. I would use it around my fingertips and cuticles during the day, as an all over hand cream before bed, and on my shins where I get dry patches that show up when I fake tan. I actually found the shorter expiry a really good motivation to address my cuticles, as it is an area that I would often put off until 'tomorrow.'

I will be repurchasing this product next time I am near a Lush store. It suits my needs perfectly, as I would rather use an intensive product less often, than a basic moisturiser twice a day.

This was a lush product I had wanted for the longest time simply because I have a wee addiction to hand creams and I loved the name of this one. Honestly, I put off purchasing it because of the price. $20 for a small tub of hand cream was enough to make anyone cringe but one day, I closed my eyes and brought it anyway (making sure I never looked at the receipt, or the bank transaction).

This hand cream comes in a small lush black tub. It quite flat, black and has a screw off lid. I think this tub might be included in Lush’s recycling scheme but I would need to double check.

As soon as you open the lid, you can smell a delicious citrus scent, and its smells lemony and amazing. I’m not a huge fan of lemon, but it just smells so good in this product. This hand cream is really a hand butter (like the title says), and it is a solid product, even more solid then TBS body butter (just to give you a comparison).

I use my fingers to scoop a little out (you don’t need much..which make the $20 price seem more reasonable), and massage it all over my hands. I find that is melts down like oil but also feels slightly waxy at the same time. It does take awhile to absorb, but once it does my hands do feel super soft. However, the effects don’t seem be long lasting and I had to reapply often.

Personally, I don’t know if I would pay full price for this again, but it still is a nice product from Lush. It did soften my cuticles, but my nails don't seem any more nourished. Will update if I see a change though

I've been wanting to try this product for so long and finally bought one when my friend offered to grab me some items from the Lush Store.

I love the recyclable pot it comes in and a great perk if you are not aware of this is you can take 5 of these pots into a Lush store for a free mask, how awesome is that.

Anyway moving on with the actual product review.

When you open the pot, you are met with a lovely lemon scent, but its not overpowering so if you are not a lemon fan you may still like this.

It has quite a thick consistency, kind of like a balm type product but more creamy. You only need a small amount as a little goes a long way, and too much will make your hands and fingers extremely greasy.

I just applied a pea sized amount onto my fingers and cuticles, and hands, massaging it in and it felt so nice. Gave a nice pampering and relaxing sensation to it. Left my fingers and cuticles really soft and hydrated.

Only downside is that even when using a small amount, it still leaves you feeling greasy, but it is still a great product at a great price for the amount you receive.

To start of I suffer with splits on my hands at the end of my fingers also my feet and heels they are very sore also unsightly. Trying to keep a plaster on the end of my thumb with keeping it looking nice is hard, I do find that having a plaster softens the skin and stops the continuous little twangs of pain.

This was recommended, so off to lush to get my wee pot of lemony goodness to cure my dry cracked skin. This comes in a black plastic tub 50gms of a thick cream, lemon in colour lemon scented so much so I was scared to try it I case it stung like lemon juice, but no it was fine. This is a thick non waxy cream with a soft texture. It just melted into my skin when applied, this left me greasy but no stinging whew.

I applied this throughout the day, also when I jumped into bed I rubbed this into my hands and feet working it extra carefully into all my wee cracks, dry areas anywhere that needed some love. Smells nice, feels divine that's where it stopped for me I didn't get any softening with my splits no healing I did get a little more moisturising in the drier areas though. It was nice to try as I didn't get any improvement with my split fingers I won't repurchase.

I was lucky enough to receive this as a Christmas gift from one of my younger brothers a couple of years ago and have repurchased a few times since. The tub goes a very long way as it's a very thick cream/balm and you only need a small dab on each nail to get a generous coverage. It is a really greasy formula, I apply it when I'm ready to snuggle down and turn the lights out at night so I can let it soak in and work it's magic. The lemony scent is really beautiful, I sometimes find citrus scented products can smell a bit like detergent but this doesn't at all.

I got this in the Boxing Day Sales half price and I'm amazed at how long one little 50g pot has lasted me when using daily. I don't just use this on my cuticles but on my feet, knees and elbows and hands at night. I am a pretty active person and workout, walk and get down on my knees for cleaning and doing pilates and some yoga stretches. I put this nightly on my knees and it keeps my knees from getting those dreaded white and grey patches. Also it's kept calluses soft on my feet and kept my elbows from discoloration. It has a bitter citrus scent which is fine, not my fave but not bad either. I've been using this daily for the past few months and I've just only now hit the bottom. I love that Lush uses natural ingredients in it. I would repurchase this as it's a good butter for all the rough skin on your body, but I think I would probably prefer to use a foot cream on my feet as that would be best.

I was recommended the Lush Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter by a Lush sales assistant when I was looking for something to help my dry heels. I had sworn by the Eulactol Heel Balm Gold for years, but since it was getting a bit expensive I thought I'd try out Lush.

This product comes in the typical Lush packaging, which is awesome since it's recyclable and recycled, and you can also save up 5 of these pots to exchange for a free Lush face mask! So always good.

This butter comes more in the form of a very thick, very rich balm, which melts into the skin when applied. It is a pale yellow colour, and smells very strongly of lemons.

It actually ended up not helping my dry heels at all, so I went back to my Eulactol Balm, but it was wonderful for treating dry hands and cuticles! I only ever used this in the evening before bed, since it left my skin way too greasy for use during the day. But it definitely felt very pampering and luxurious!

I love this product when I first got it! So nice, smells amazing and softened my hands. But, I don't love the tub format. It's not convenient to carry around and I ended up putting it into a smaller pot for my bag.

I have dry hands, a single wash with soap can leave them feeling tight - so I used this quite regularly. However, even my excessive use found that I couldn't get to the bottom of the pot before it dried out and turned super grainy.

I might repurchase in the future but for now, I will run out of my current hand creams first.
