Lush Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter Review

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.

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 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.

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.
