Lush Cosmetics Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter

So at first when the very beautiful and talented Luzanne from Pink Peonies and my beautiful out of this world blogger friend Michelle from Ordinary Misfit raved about this cuticle butter, I was a little upset because at the time, there was no such thing as Lush Cosmetics in Durban and I never thought I'd get to ever try this out. Of course, who would know better than the two beautiful ladies who had the most amazing nail art skills and nails (can you smell my jealousy?) Few months later... I was lucky to get my rather under moisturised hands on this gorgeous cuticle butter. So I couldn't care less about my cuticles... I can feel the angry mob of nail lovers come after me for saying that, but I honestly didn't worry much about it, because I just never thought about it...until I purchased this holy grail product. 

I'm going to start of with what Lush says about the product: "Softens hard skin all over the body, especially the cuticles. We made Lemony Flutter to soften your cuticles; it’s our thickest cream out there. It’s so good at softening your cuticles and nourishing your nails that Lush customers have been using it to soften and nourish lots of other body parts like their feet, elbows and knees. Fortunately, it’s a very reasonably priced cream, so you can afford to use it as widely as you wish. Take more care of your extremities and invest a small sum in a Lemony pot." 

What do I think of the Lemony Flutter Cuticle Cream: Let's be honest here... As soon as I opened this pot I thought... Yummy Woolworths Lemon Cheese Cake drizzled with lemon sweet sauce, everything I needed to make me crave cheese cake. What everyone else asked me... Who smells like lemon grass (trust me, my family loves the smell of lemon grass) OKAY! I get carried away...

Back to my review now! 

So I used this deliciously tempting cuticle butter as a hand cream for a few days and my hands instantly felt soft and all smooth, and now I have separation issues and don't leave my lemony flutter away from me. My favourite part is definitely the texture, you know it is a good rich texture and is definitely going to give you the most softest hands ever. It is completely non greasy, however it leaves hands with a soft shine which looks a little oily.  

 

I'd still give this product a thumbs up (notice how soft my thumbs look thanks to this product?) It is affordable, because R105 for 50g is not such a bad price for this miracle cream, and once you've tried it... You know what I mean. Especially because winter is around the corner, I'd recommend it twice as much, so say hello to softer, smoother hands in a matter of days... 

 

 

 

Lush Cosmetics Popcorn Lip Scrub

 

 Who doesn't love the scent of freshly popped popcorn, you know... The popcorn which is still warm from the pot, where you can smell the buttery scent which really makes you crave for that yummy crisp popcorn? Sorry to make you super hungry for some popcorn, but I promise this review is going to get you drooling! So Lush Cosmetics is known for their yummy products, this one is no exception!

What does Lush say: "Be a blockbuster success and have them queuing for the sequel. Coconut oil, sugar and a buttery caramel taste" 

 

How to use: " Scrub and buff your lips to softness, lick of the excess and then apply your favourite Lush balm" 

What do I think: Packaging - I like the packaging, it is a cute glass jar with a black lid. I think the text really attracts me to the packaging because it is retro and the word play on the packaging is quite good. 

What do I think: Product - Besides having me drool over this product every time I use it, I'd give it a thumbs up, it isn't too harsh for lips, and gives my lips a lovely soft and smooth feel. It nourishes lips so you don't feel that lips are dry or uncomfortable, plus this is a must have for the upcoming winter months because nobody really likes dry lips. 

My final verdict: So this is a definite repurchase! As soon as I run out, I'll run back into a Lush store and get a new one. I think for the time it lasts and for it to be vegan and all the effort out into making it, it isn't so bad to pay R95 for it. I've been using it for over a month now and there is still almost a full jar left, so I'd say it will take me a good few months to finish up this jar! If popcorn isn't your thing.. There is a bubble gum flavour, as well as a mint julips flavour. 

 

 

Durban welcomes LUSH!!!

To welcome back Purple Sparkle Blog into the blogging world once again, I will celebrate my 2014's "first blogpost" in welcoming Lush Cosmetics to Durban!! I was super excited to attend the grand opening which took place in Gateway Theatre of Shopping. Guests, bloggers and excited shoppers got their excitement on, as well as their wallets out as we got to test and purchase some of our new and favourite Lush goodness.

I took a few images, during the launch, it was so absolutely full with Lush fans, that I really couldn't get pictures, I have used some pictures from the Lush South Africa website, taken by the talented photographer Jerome Stoffels, so a big thank you for taking those awesome pictures for my blog readers to have a look at!

 

At the event, guests were treated to the yummiest of yummy treats as well as a goodie bag which has every bit of information you will need on any and every Lush product, as well as a Lush Sex Bomb Bath Fizzer *hides my naughty grin*. So I am super excited because I have some great Lush reviews coming up! As well as a small giveaway next month! Keep your eyes on the look out!
