Forget chocolate – we’re buying a beauty egg this Easter and these are the best
As Easter looks to steal the Christmas crown – less stress and prep but with more sunshine and equally delicious food – you can now get beauty Easter eggs to rival your favourite beauty advent calendars. And it means you can swap the short-term gratification of the best chocolate Easter eggs for one filled with makeup, award-winning skincare, and more. Or maybe enjoy both...
Many of your favourite brands have taken on the Easter bunny role this year, including highly anticipated ones from Glossybox and Lookfantastic. Inside, you’ll find sweet treats ranging from plumping lip oils to hair-saving treatments, which will certainly last a while longer than chocolate. They make an egg-cellent gift for a loved one (sorry!) or for yourself.
There are some serious savings to be made too, as those listed below all include full-sized products, which in some cases, are worth more than the cost of the entire egg (hello Rodial Glow Drops).
Seasonal gifting has a bad reputation when it comes to packaging and waste, but the below options are all delivered in a sturdy egg that can be refilled and replenished with new goodies year after year.
Although a tad more avant-garde than the well-established, sellout best beauty advent calendars, this is an egg hunt we can definitely get on board with.
Let’s get cracking.
Beauty Egg
If you’ve ever subscribed to LookFantastic’s beauty box, you’ll be aware of the generous offerings delivered to your doorstep every month. It took the crown in our best subscription box roundup for good reason, so it’s no surprise that its beauty egg is full of delights.
For £60, you can get your hands on a mix of the retailer's best-sellers, worth over £200 – that’s a sweet deal. And it has your whole routine covered, as there’s a mix of skincare, haircare and makeup included. The real star of the show must be the full-sized Medik8 Vitamin C-Tetra Serum though, which alone is worth nearly £40. This effective serum earned its place in the GH beauty team’s favourite Medik8 products for its ability to brighten and rejuvenate skin.
Other standouts include the full-sized Color Wow Money Mist leave-in conditioner, which strengthens strands and has UV and heat-protecting properties. It’s not all skin and hair care either, as the Anastasia Beverly Hills mascara and ICONIC London highlighter will keep you glowing through the bank holiday and beyond.

The Rodial Soft Focus Glow Drops are worth more than that alone at £75. If that’s not enough, there are goodies from other notable brands such as Schwarzkopf and E.L.F. Another standout is Medik8’s skin-firming Crystal Retinal, one of its many hero products, and a high scorer on our best retinol serums test.

The Ritual of Sakura Cherry Blossom & Rice Milk
Encased in a luxury pastel-pink egg are three gifts from Rituals: a foaming shower gel, silky body cream, and travel-sized perfume. Each one is infused with the brand’s best-selling scents of rice milk and sweet cherry blossom.
If you’re more of a spicy fragrance lover, there’s also the Ritual of Mehr egg on offer. This gift set comes in a bright yellow colourway and includes a car air freshener instead of a perfume – does it get more decadent than your Rituals fragrance following you into the driver’s seat? We think not...
