Lush Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter Review

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.

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.

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.

I've recently been giving a lot of lovin' to my nails, and I wanted a cuticle balm to add on to my routine. Wonderfully, I discovered Lush had this baby. The price was a bit out there, but for the amount you get and the amount you use, it will last a really long time!

It comes in a small black tub, the same as the face masks, and when you have 5 you can get a free face mask! Inside the pale yellow delight stares back at you, perfectly flat and delightful. It was hard to put my finger in it, I didn't want to break the smoothness.

The smell is so awesome. It smells like lemons (obviously!) and of something else I can't quite place, but it reminds me of a cake or other sweet lemon confection, or even a creamy whipped lemon. It's amazing. The texture is weird, it is almost gritty but as you rub it in it melts and the delicious oils coat your nails with their powers.

As I said, a little goes a really long way, so you can rub your finger around the pot once and have enough for all your fingers. The other great thing about this stuff is that it doubles as a heavy duty moisturizer, so you can put it on all your dry bits and this will sort them out!

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 actually use this on my very dry feet - I swear it's like magic. My feet and heels are so much softer - the only downside is that it can be a little greasy after you put it on, so you may want to avoid walking around right after. It's got a very strong lemon scent (as you would expect from a lemon product) but it might not be for everyone.

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).

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.
