You might find your annual Easter egg hunt is a lot more fun if there is a Lookfantastic Beauty Egg at the end of the trail. You'll have to move quickly though, as the offering has been a sell-out for four years in a row and this time looks to be no different.
Crack it open and you'll discover six luxury products, from brands including Elemis, Eve Lom and Color Wow, worth over £220, but retailing for only £65. Lookfantastic beauty box subscribers will also receive an extra £10 discount on the beauty egg, which will even apply if you purchase a subscription at the same time as the limited edition Easter offering.
The full list of products included are:
- Eve Lom Gel Balm Cleanser
- Colour Wow Kale Infused Dream Cocktail

Following the success of last year's Easter eggs, L'Occitane is once again releasing not one but two beauty egg options. The Cherry Blossom Easter Egg (pictured) and Verbena Easter Egg contain a shower gel, body lotion and hand cream from their namesake ranges in beautifully illustrated casing.
The second alternative is the Mini Easter Eggs Set - which is a little like a collection of beauty-filled Christmas crackers. This treat is made up of four individual mini eggs. Inside each are two 10ml Shea Butter Hand Creams in a selection of different scents, including almond, rose, and classic shea butter. Priced at £24, these are the perfect buy for those opting for a sugar-free Easter shared with long separated loved ones.

Lush

£36
SHOP NOW
Can't decide between chocolate and beauty? With the Lush Golden Egg's collection of bath and body favourites, you don't have to. The really sweet selection (which looks good enough to eat but unfortunately isn't) includes products that utilise the softening effect of cocoa butter to pamper your skin.
The highlight of the collection, which also contains two bath bombs and a shower gel, is definitely the body butter bar, which is carved into the shape of a bunny. It's the perfect Easter treat.
Rituals

£32.50

Rituals have two brilliant offerings for Easter this year, with a choice of scents between two of its best-selling ranges - the Ritual of Karma or the Ritual of Sakura (pictured).
Both would make a really lovely gift as inside each egg you'll find full-size pampering essentials that smell that so good you'll find your shoulders relaxing as soon as you inhale them.
You just have to make the difficult decision between the pampering shower gel, body cream and hair mist collection (the Ritual of Karma), or the shower foam, hand balm and white floral fragrance (the Ritual of Sakura). Either will get you lots of brownie points, should you not choose to keep them to yourself.
Myvitamins

Easter might not be the most conventional time to start thinking about your health but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be, especially when Myvitamins helps you by wrapping it up with a literal bow.
Inside the brand's limited edition egg are its best-selling beauty supplements, including collagen sticks and gummies, that work to strengthened your hair, skin and nails. What's more you don't even have to give up chocolate. You'll also receive two Beauty Hot Chocolate Stick Packs that offer a sweet treat with a side of brain-boosting pantothenic acid and vitamin C.
