Beauty Easter Eggs To Treat Yourself Too

Easter doesn't have to be about Chocolate, not that I intend to give it up for anyone I might add, but I do love that brands come up with a Beauty Egg to make you feel less guilty! I featured one of the L'Occitane Easter Eggs last year on my blog and this year they are even better. 
Beauty Easter Eggs To Treat Yourself Too
With a choice of four different eggs from L'Occitane, each mini egg contains two 10ml Shea Butter hand creams in various scents as well as a shower gel and some soap. I absolutely love L'Occitane Almond range and I frequent the Regent Store a few times a year for a refill of their shower gel, so it is always handy to have one or two mini options around to take away on holiday or trips to see the family.


From Lookfantastic is The Beauty Egg Collection 2020 which I have featured on my blog. It has a value just shy of £300 in content but costs just £65 and inside you will see products such as Dr.Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment and the Omorovicza Deep Cleansing Mask which on its own is worth more than you pay for this entire Egg!

Glossybox outdid themselves again with their 2020 Easter Egg and it sold out really quickly.  Inside the egg, which comes in a variety of colours including pastel blue, pink or yellow egg, you will find ten products from beauty brands such as bareMinerals, St Tropez, Illamasqua and more.  Priced at a bargain price of £8.50

From Lush, we have the Golden Egg and this one really caught my attention as a gift for a friend of mine who just loves Lush. Priced at £33, inside you will find five products, which includes the likes of The Golden Egg and the Lucky Carrot Bubble Bar.

I love that again there is some variety for 2020 and even for high street brands such as Revolution and L'Oreal, there are Easter Eggs with a beauty theme, it just depends what you are looking for and for whom!

Have you bought any Easter Eggs for 2020?

Kevin Murphy full.body hair collection

A brand of haircare that is new to me is Kevin Murphy, I have used one or two products but recently the full.body collection is one I have been reaching for. Described as being skincare for your hair, Kevin Murphy haircare range is described as being one of the very highest natural quality.

The first product within this full.body collection is the Plumping.Wash Shampoo which is described as being a re-densifying shampoo formulated for fine and thinning hair types. Using a strengthening blend of ginger root and nettle extract to nourish each hair follicle whilst at the same time stimulating circulation to help to promote hair growth and gently exfoliate. They work alongside aloe vera leaf extract, rice protein, amino acids, bamboo extract and acai berry extract which gives the hair volume without weighing it down.

What I really like about this shampoo is that once I have used it, is my hair feels clean, it doesn't feel weighed down or lank and it definitely looks shiny and healthy. Having combination hair, I often find that some shampoos make my greasy roots look worse after shampooing than they did before.

Following on from Plumping.Wash we have Plumping.Rinse and this conditioner is described as being a re-densifying and thickening product which has been formulated for fine and thinning hair.  It used an ingredient called hemsleya root, something I haven't come across before and it is rich in oleanolic acid which helps to protect against damage and prevent hair loss to promote fuller, healthier and stronger hair.

I only ever use a conditioner once, maybe twice a week at most, I often find they are too heavy for my hair and I, therefore, tend to use a hair mask instead. With this conditioner, because it is lightweight in texture, it doesn't weigh the hair down or leave it feeling in need of another wash and it smells absolutely lovely too.

As well as Shampoo and Conditioner, Kevin Murphy has a whole range of products and I recently featured the Young.Again Dry Conditioner, which is a great product. The two other products within my stash are the Anti Gravity Spray and First Crush.

As the name implies, Anti.Gravity Spray is an oil-free volumiser and texturizer spray and its job is to help control those pesky fly-away's but with an oil-free shine. For bigger, thicker hair it is advised that you apply the product to wet hair and dry in. For me, depending on what I am doing with my hair, I usually apply to towel-dried hair and then blow-dry to get the finish I want.

I mentioned earlier within this review that Kevin Murphy likes to source and use key ingredients for each product and within this spray, there is the use of Lavender flower water which is said to be beneficial for all hair types as it helps with balancing and regulating the production of oil, then we have honey extract to help seal in moisture and soften, grapefruit extract to promote hair growth and cell regeneration and ho leaf oil which is described as being rich in anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties.

The final product I have is First.Crush and if you like a hair perfume, then this is one you really need to try. Described as having a sweet, sensual and luxurious scent and this is owing to the inclusion of bergamot, mandarin, patchouli and ylang-ylang.

We all know by now that using our regular perfumes and fragrances is not a good idea for use on our hair, not only can they be quite damaging, but also really drying. So Kevin Murphy has formulated an ultra moisturising mist which not only reduces static and leaves your hair looking glossy but the scent is like Spring in a bottle and it is divine. To use, the advice is to spray liberally over the hair to finish a style, or to just give your hair a boost. First.Crush can also be used to help smooth flyaways, promote shine and eliminate odours. This product is suitable for all hair types.

You can find more information on Kevin Murphy and the entire haircare range from the brand website.
