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.

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 love the thickness, the scent (mmm lemons) and that a little goes a long way so it lasts ages...but unfortunately that's about where it stopped with this product.

I prefer a thick cream for my hands and cuticles, but this product left me very greasy so it was almost impossible to use this during the day. I would find things slipping from my hands and fluff sticking to wherever i applied it, gah!

I also didn't notice any softening of my dry elbows and hands, nor any benefit to my cuticles.

I have to say this was a miss for me.

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 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.

Love Lush's little black pots :) love the text on them and the sometimes silly things they put.

The thing you notice first is the smell of this cuticle butter, delish (as long as you like lemon of course) - good enough to eat.

I don't look after my hands/nails really at all so this was a really nice change - I put it on after I have showered and massage into my fingers/cuticles.

I think it has made a little difference (been using for a couple of weeks), the skin near the cuticles is definitely softer and my nails look shinier :)

I will continue to use this until it is finished and may buy some more.

It's rare that I find a product that really helps with my dry skin. The nice lemony scent is refreshing. I was concerned at first that the container was really small for the price but you really don't need a lot to cover both hands. It has a luxurious feel to it, slightly waxy but my hands feel so wonderful when I use it. I try not to keep the lid open too long to keep it nice and soft.
