7 alternative Easter eggs for the beauty fan!

One of the best things about Easter is the abundance of chocolate eggs that are on offer in every store, wherever you turn! However, some people (admittedly not many) aren't the biggest of fans of chocolate and like to think outside the box. The arrival of the beauty advent calendar was just the beginning – now following on from that is the beauty Easter egg! A great, imaginative alternative to chocolate, we have picked the best unusual Easter eggs of 2018, filled with a huge array of beauty products that we hope the Easter bunny remembers to deliver….

First up, we have an entire collection by the clever people at lookfantastic. This gorgeous pastel box contains 7 metallic eggs which open up to reveal the best beauty must-have luxury products in a mixture of generous miniatures and a whopping four full-size items. The entire set is worth a huge £210 but retails at an affordable £65 which is a great saving. Highlights include a tub of the iconic Emma Hardie Maringa Balm and a tube of the Elemis Peel Mask – a favourite amongst skincare addicts everywhere.
