Lush Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter Review

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!

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 picked this up a while ago before travelling. There is something really relaxing about pampering when you are on a plane to a lovely location. I hardly ever look after my cuticles so when you are trapped on a plane seems like a good time for me. I picked this up in a tiny wee 10g pot which is perfect for popping in your handbag.

The packaging is super simple like all the Lush products. It comes in a wee black tub with a screw on lid. I love the size of this for popping in your bag.

The product itself is an incredible thick cream (great that it isn't going to leak all over everything). It smells very lemony but just a wee touch like dishwashing liquid so it isn't my favourite scent. You only need the tiniest bit of this to rub into your nail beds. As it warms up it melts into more of an oil consistency. Because you only need such a small amount I feel like even my tiny wee tub will last me a lifetime. It is a lovely product although I don't know if it really does anything different than what a thick hand-cream would do in that area (eg the Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector).

Recently I had the misfortune of having flaking and splitting nails due to a certain gel polish top coat. I usually use a rosehip oil rubbed in to my cuticles to help my nails grow harder but this time I needed something a bit more hardy. That is when I decided to try the Lush Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter.

I got the 50g container for $19.99 which honestly is huge and lasts for such a long while so pays for itself really. It comes in the familiar Lush black container with all the need to know information. I love the fact that the containers are 100% recycled plastic which you could reuse or take it back to be recycled again. I love the clean green image that Lush has. The Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter itself is thick and butter yellow. It's almost like a thick paste like substance. It is very lemon smelling which is a scent I love so can't get enough of it. You only need a tiny bit for each cuticle so use sparingly.

I rub the butter in to my cuticles for a good ten seconds each nail. I made sure that I massage it right in to get the best results. Since using it, which has been about 3 months now, my nails are two times stronger than before and flake less. Before my nails would break just by getting dressed but since using this I may have broken two nails in the whole three months. This is a huge leap forward from one a week before this.

I have been using this on my knees as well. My knees are very hard and callused from too many horsey rides for my son. I put this on them twice a week and my knees feel like the rest of my legs now......smooooth! It really is that great and I would recommend it to anyone who has brittle nails, scaly knees or ashy elbows. It clears up dry skin in a matter of a couple of weeks. Go on you know you want to.

I've always eyed this product up during visits to my local Lush store, and never decided to actually pull the trigger and buy it. However, I was at my Lush store last week and was chatting to one of the lovely ladies who worked there and got a generous sample of this cuticle butter. After trying it out for the past few days, I can definitely say I will be purchasing the full size of this once I am done with the sample! It has already made a huge difference in my cuticles and nails.

This product retails for $19.90, and contains 50g of product, which is very decent considering you only need the tiniest amount each time. It comes in a classic black Lush pot, which is a decent size, although I personally think it's a bit too big to just chuck in my bag for everyday use so I think I'd rather scoop out small amounts and put it in little jars for better portability. The cream itself has a thick buttery texture and is pale yellow in colour, it has some granules in it but these melt away with the heat of your body as you rub it in. It has a light lemony scent which I personally love but might not be for everyone. At first my fingers were a little greasy but within 10 minutes it sunk into my cuticles leaving them moisturized and my nails with a healthy shine. I found that this was the first product that I felt actually sunk into the skin around my nails.

I would definitely recommend this product if you suffer from dry cuticles, it definitely made a difference in the dry skin that I usually get around my cuticles and I have also noticed that I don't get as many hangnails anymore. This product is kind of pricey, but I think for the amount you need to use each time and the huge pot it comes in it is definitely worth the money. Thumbs up from me!

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.
