Office girl's LUSH must-haves: Maple Taffy & Lemony Flutter

Welcome on my desk, where I spend my 9-to-5's with mo Moominhouse mausepad and my Lush jars :)

My favourite small things to do during the day is to have a short brake every once in a while and pamper my lips, hands and cuticles. Lips are pampered with the Maple Taffy lip balm and cuticles with Lemony Flutter.

Maple Taffy is a nice lip balm with a sweet and yummy scent that makes me want to eat it every single time I open the little jar. It also blends well and feels nicely moisturizing for quite a while on the lips. One minus is that the texture is not really smooth and it tends to leave weird small pieces of balm chunks on the lips so I recommend checking the mirror after applying it if you don't wanna look like you have food stuck on your lips.

Lemony Flutter is a really strong scented, very very rich textured cream for dry cuticles. I love the moisturizing feeling it gives my dry fingertips, but now that I look at my cuticles at home, I see that they are in a bad shape, so that makes me wonder if the Lemony Flutter actually does anything. Shouldn't it make my cuticles better? Yes, it should. But am I totally addicted to Lemony Flutter regardless of what I just complained? Yes, I am.

When I'm out of that stuff, I'll try another brand and see if there's a difference in the result of the usage. Or are they all just designed to give a reliefing feeling as first-aid moisture for very dry skin?

Just like a facial moisturizer, I never see big differences in the actual quality, it's enough that I get the moisturized feeling on my skin after washing it, but pretty much all the moisturizers in the world do that in some way. I guess that's the reason why I use the cheapest basic lotion from the pharmacy. The one you can use on any kind of skin from the moment you are born until you're taking your last breath. I've spent hundreds of euros to waste while trying different moisturizers and thinking that the price means quality as it normally does, but not when it comes to my favourite moisturizer. Makeup is a totally different story! :)

And back to cuticle creams: If anyone knows a good cuticle cream, I'm open for suggestions! And when it comes to Lemony Flutter, I'm not really sure if I'd recommend it. The scent is very strong and it's very greasy, so I have to keep in mind not to touch any important documents in a while after applying it to avoid greasy fingerprints.

Have a nice weekend, everyone!
