WHAT do you buy for the beauty junkie in your life when they don’t want another chocolate Easter egg?
Well, you can nab them an egg filled with products from cult-loved brands thanks to British retailer Next.
The fashion giant has launched The Luxury Beauty Easter Egg for a cool £50 ahead of the big day next week.
The products inside are worth a whopping £183, meaning you’ll save a cool £133.
Among the products are Ted Baker Floret Polly EDT worth £20 and the Delilah Definitive Mascara worth £27.
There’s also the ICONIC London Lip Plumping Gloss in shade Nearly Nude, which retails alone for £22.
Other brands in the beauty egg include Laura Mercier, Aromatherapy Associates and Bath & Body Works, as well as an OPI nail polish and ESPA body lotion.
Next bosses said: “Bounce into spring with the ultimate beauty treat!
“This Easter Egg Beauty Box, designed in collaboration with Cath Kidston, is packed with luxe beauty and makeup must-haves so you can unwrap the glow, celebrate the season and get ready to bloom.”
Easter eggs filled with beauty products are a great way to explore new brands or products without committing to a purchase.
You can experiment with multiple lotions and potions in a low-pressure setting, and might even discover a holy grail to add to your arsenal.
In recent years, there has been a huge trend around surprise boxes and mystery gifts in the beauty industry.

It’s not just Next that’s gone quirky with its Easter offering.
Earlier this month, French fashion house Louis Vuitton launched a chocolate Easter egg – with a price tag of nearly £200.
The luxury fashion house teamed up with pastry chef Maxime Frédéric to create the edible version of their signature handbag.
The limited-edition chocolate egg will set sweet-toothed fashion fans back £189.
But it’s just a fraction of the price of the original leather bag, which retailed at around £2,500.
