Best beauty Easter eggs for 2026 including one that saves shoppers more than £200

From Boots to LookFantastic, beauty box expert Bethan Shufflebotham has taken a look at four of the most popular Easter beauty eggs to find the best

Easter beauty eggs have become almost as hotly anticipated as Christmas advent calendars, with retailers competing to pack more cult favourites and value into their shells. For 2026, the line-up feels bigger than ever, with luxury skincare, viral makeup and hair heroes all tucked inside limited-edition edits that promise serious savings.

While chocolate eggs might be cheaper, these beauty buys offer months of use – and in some cases, products and brands that rarely see discounts. This year’s standout launches span £35 to £60, with some worth more than £200.

Some are skincare-led, others balance makeup and bodycare, and some even feature perfumes perfect for taking on holiday. Here are my top picks of the beauty Easter eggs on offer for 2026.

Lookfantastic – The Beauty Egg £60, worth over £220

Celebrating its 10th year, Lookfantastic’s Beauty Egg has cemented itself as one of the most recognisable in the category. Priced at £60 but worth over £220, it’s firmly positioned as a premium edit with serious skincare credentials.

Inside, shoppers will find full-size heavy hitters including Color Wow Dream Coat, Medik8 Hydr8 B5 Serum, Rodial Collagen 30% Booster Drops and Benefit’s Badgal Bounce Mascara. There’s also a Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Oil, a deluxe Sol de Janeiro Brazilian 4 Play Shower Cream-Gel and a 111Skin Cryo De-Puffing Eye Mask.

The Rodial and Medik8 products alone account for a significant portion of the box’s value, worth £80 and £45 respectively. At £60 , it’s the most expensive option on this list, which may put off more casual shoppers, but for those who are big into their skincare, it’s a solid pick.

Glossybox – Easter Egg Limited Edition £50, worth £211

Glossybox’s 2026 Easter Egg costs £50 , or £41 for subscribers, and is worth £211. It blends high-performance skincare with practical everyday staples, making it feel like a strong all-rounder.

Full-size highlights include Medik8 Crystal Retinal Serum 3, Rodial Vit C Booster Drops, Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo, Arkive The Reset Dry Shampoo and AKT London’s Body Wash Concentrate. Deluxe sizes from Sol de Janeiro and The Beauty Crop round things out.

The inclusion of Medik8’s Crystal Retinal is a major win, given how rarely it’s discounted. However, retinol isn’t for everyone, and while this is a beginner-friendly formula, it should be patch tested and applied appropriately.

The box offers a good mix of makeup, haircare and bodycare, making this a versatile edit, however, some beauty fans may find the brow powder duo may not suit their colouring exactly.

Next – The Luxury Beauty Egg £35, worth over £126

At £35, Next’s Luxury Beauty Egg is the most affordable option in this round-up, yet still claims a value of over £126. It features seven products, with a strong emphasis on practical staples.

Inside are travel sizes from Margaret Dabbs London and Dermalogica, alongside full-size picks including ICONIC London’s Lustre Lip Oil, an OPI Nail Lacquer, Beauty Works 10-in-1 Miracle Spray and a Spectrum Collections sponge. The hero of the set is arguably the 10ml Floral Street fragrance, worth £29 alone.

While the overall value is lower than that of the other featured edits, the £35 price point makes this an accessible gift option, particularly for Mother’s Day or as an alternative to chocolate. But for those looking for high-end, cutting-edge skincare may find it less exciting than rival boxes.

Boots – Easter Beauty Box £55, worth over £276

Last but by no means least, the Boots’ Easter Beauty Box boasts the highest value in this list at over £276, and has the most amount of products, too. Priced at £55, it contains 14 beauty favourites, including eight full sizes.

Brands include No7, Sol de Janeiro, Fenty Beauty, Kérastase, Shiseido, NUXE, First Aid Beauty, Rituals and more. Standouts range from Shiseido’s Vital Perfection cream (15ml) and Elizabeth Arden’s retinol eye cream to Kérastase’s Resistance leave-in treatment and NUXE’s Huile Prodigieuse Florale.

The sheer number of products makes this feel generous, however, a closer look reveals a little bit of duplication with some of the items, for example, two lots of eye patches, two lip products and two moisturisers. Nevertheless, it’s ideal for those wanting to try a broad range of brands in one go.

For 2026, the best Easter beauty egg ultimately comes down to budget and beauty preferences. Skincare maximalists may gravitate towards LookFantastic or Glossybox , while those seeking volume and buzz-worthy brands could favour Boots. For a lower spend without sacrificing quality, Next offers a budget-friendly alternative.
