With Easter, a little over a week away, health and beauty retailer Boots is offering shoppers the chance to get their hands on over £100 worth of free beauty and skincare products. The high street chain has launched a beauty Easter egg for under £50 , with one product worth over half the cost of the box alone. Released Friday, March 22 - a week until Good Friday - the highly anticipated beauty egg costs £45, and follows similar launches from LookFantastic and Glossybox. Inside the Little Luxuries Easter Bundle , shoppers will find 11 beauty treats from renowned and beloved brands like Liz Earle and No7, alongside new and trending products from REM, Dr Jart, Sol De Janiero and more. Among them is the Iconic
London Illuminator Original Highlighter, which counts the likes of
Khloe Kardashian and Jourdan Dunn as fans. The intensely pigmented champagne-toned shimmer highlighter usually costs £32 and can be added to your foundation, primer or moisturiser, or simply used on its own for a super highlighted glow. Some of the products inside the Boots Beauty Easter Egg ( Image: Boots) It’s earned a 4.5-star rating on the Boots website, with shoppers saying ‘a little goes a long way’ - so the full sized bottle should last you all summer. One said: “Use this on top of liquid foundation to give myself a glow. Minimal amount needed for maximum effect. Also love as a highlighter on cheeks, brows, nose and Cupid's bow.” Another added: “Have this in the original shade and am already on my second one. So versatile - wear it under or over foundation or mixed in with moisturiser. A little will go a long way but I guarantee you’ll want to use more! Blends easily with a brush or sponge and leaves you looking sun-kissed.” With a third adding: “It’s very pigmented so don’t need much. And have to be blended quickly. I love it. And the bottle lasts forever. Worth every penny.” Iconic London Illuminator is a favourite with celebrities ( Image: Iconic London) It’s only got one seemingly accidental one-star review which reads: “This is a great product. It goes on smoothly and gives a lovely finish.” However, some of the three-star reviews have suggested that it’s tricky to use alongside some powder products, adding: “I really liked the consistency of this and the shine and highlight is amazing, however I really struggled to use this on top of my regular base makeup.” Beauty fans will also find a high-shine nail polish from No7 , as well as a brown liquid liner from Stila to create a soft cat eye. Fragrance lovers will have the chance to stock back up on Sol De Janeiro’s Cheirosa 62, while it also presents the perfect opportunity to discover what all the hype is about around
