Is it even Easter without the sugar high?
For many of us, it doesn’t truly feel like the chocolate season until we’ve sampled the full selection of milk, dark or white eggs on the market - and there’s no shortage of classic, weird and wonderful, vegan or luxury options to choose from. But there is another way to still spark joy throughout the long bank holiday without the saccharine rush and inevitable crash.
While you may think that Easter and chocolate go hand in hand, there are brands taking a different approach to the festivities - and beauty lovers more than anyone will not be able to resist their charm.
In eye-poppingly bright prints and pastel hues, these egg-shaped gift-ready bundle packs are filled to the brim with skincare, makeup, fragrance and hair goodies, all of which are packaged together with real savings versus the original RRP of buying the products individually.
