Lush Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter Review

Hey everyone!

I had been saying I was going to get this product for absolutely ages and I just wouldn't go into the shop and spend a measly tenner! Obviously from the title of this post you know I'm on about Lush's Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter


"Head and shoulders, knees and toes. Knees and toes 
And don’t forget the cuticles
A super-thick cream choc full of rich ingredients to help you get to grips with dry bits. Knees, elbows, heels, nails and cuticles – all will benefit from some Lemony Flutter attention."

I've seen so many positive reviews about this product and seeing as I love painting my nails and keeping them healthy lately, I thought I just had to get this! As soon as I started using it, I started to notice my nails growing and being a lot healthier and stronger than usual. Why didn't I get this sooner!?


Anyways, instead of a big essay of why I love it and another essay on its flaws, as I always do in blog posts, I decided to do two lists of 'Pros' and 'Cons'! It makes it a lot easier for you guys to read and also for me to write!


PROS
  • First of all, the tub is big enough. It's a 50g tub, and let me tell you, a little goes a long way.
  • It's very moisturizing to your nails, cuticles, fingers and hands. You can use it on any dry patches you have. Such as your elbows, feet and your knees!
  • It almost works over night, well for me anyways.

CONS
  • It's quite expensive for the tub, it's just under €10 here in Ireland.
  • It has a very strong lemony scent, which can be very overpowering. But if you like that scent, then you're okay I suppose!
  • It expires after one year. If you don't use it daily like me, you might not get to finish it.
  • Lastly, it's very greasy/oily on your skin. But absorbs within 5-10 minutes usually. I find it best to put it on at night time because you don't be using your hands as much.

Here's a picture of my nails now. 
This is completely amazing for me as my nails have never been this healthy, or this long, well.. maybe this long but certainly not this strong! Have a look at this post and see what my nails were like just a few weeks ago. I really do believe that this product is helping them a lot. 

I'd recommend it to anyone! Family, friends, strangers, you guys, cats and dogs.. IT'S JUST AMAZEBALLS! Haha.

Let me know if you've tried this product and what you thought of it. Also let me know if you're thinking of buying it and just want some more information!

Thanks for reading everyone!
Love,

The Top 5 Products I've Been Wanting!

Hey everyone!

Today I said I'll do a quick post! The top 5 products on my 'to-get ASAP list'. As I stated in my last post, I am creating a HUGE wishlist page and that's almost done too.. Kind of.. I'M GETTING THERE!! I also felt I needed to write a new blog post for you guys because I've been lacking, super badly! I'm not even going to get into it as I've said it in previous posts. I am truly sorry though, I will try and blog more, I keep starting and then just sitting and staring at a blank screen. It's annoying! Anyways, moving on. I'm just going to get straight into it!
The first product I want is from LUSH! As you may or may not know, I'm a big nail care/painting geek. This is the LUSH cuticle butter! Supposedly it's amazing! And that, I will have to see for myself! I have recently been addicted to LUSH products, I love their staff but obviously, I love their shop too! This cuticle butter is on my to-get list as of now! Can't wait to try it out!

Another LUSH product I've been eyeing up is the Handy Gurugu Hand Cream! Coming into winter I think a good ol' hand cream is in need! But it's also essential for me as I'm doing a hairdressing course at the moment so my hands will be in water and also touching many chemicals over the coming weeks, so hand cream is essential for me. I am planning on getting a travel size hand cream as well as this but haven't made my mind up yet on what I want. Maybe I'll try get this into a little squirty bottle. Hmm.


The next product is from Toni&Guy and it's hair related! I honestly don't get much hair related products, but I really should start, my hair does my head in and I just feel like ripping it out sometimes! I have long hair and it's just so frustrating, but I could never get it cut short, I'd be way too scared. Anyways, I  found this texturising spray while looking through some blogs and once I seen it, I checked out some reviews! I get the feeling this product isn't exactly what I expect, but hey! I'm still going to buy&try!

I recently bought Models Own Beach Party and I was totally over the moon with it, so I went back to Boots to nab some more Models Own polishes. I tried this one on my nail and I fell in love with it! It's so bright and beautiful on the nails. To my horror though, they had only one left and it was opened and had nail polish all on the lid and stuff, I wasn't paying almost €8 for a used nail polish, no way. I asked the girl and she said they had no more left. So it's off to a different Boots I go, to try and pick this up!


The last item I want is the Real Techniques Powder Brush. I have already got their Starter Set, their Core Collection set and their Stippling Brush! I absolutely love the quality of their brushes and I'm definitely going to get more. Eventually I'll have the lot! The only downfall of these brushes is the price. I can only get them in Boots and they are a lot dearer than they are on the Real Techniques site, which is very, very annoying! If anyone knows of any other shops I can get these brushes in for smaller prices, please let me know! 


So there you have it! The top 5 products I really want to buy, pretty soon!
Have you got any of these products?
Would you tell me to stay away from any of these?

Leave any questions or comments down below! I love to hear from you guys! 

Love,
