On-theme Easter beauty buys to treat yourself to this long weekend

Easter definitely tends to be the ‘treat yourself’ holiday. Some people are all about a roast dinner, some whip up a variety of choc-themed snacks, and some solely nibble on bunny ears all day (ahem, us), but there’s no doubt the entire weekend has an all-around theme of indulgence.

And while classic Easter treats are great (and we’re definitely not ones to turn down a Cadbury bilby), we’re all for extending the ‘treats’ category to also include beauty products.

Because, especially in times where we’re all feeling a little extra anxious, we all deserve something special, whether you’re using the time to pamper yourself, or allowing the event to serve as an excuse to get glam for the first time in weeks. Or, of course, if you’re down for a combo of the two, our beautyheaven Easter showbag just happens to cover both.

From eggs filled with goodies of the non-edible variety to products inspired by the best things about Easter (chocolate, duh!), here are our favourite Easter-themed beauty buys.

FaceInc by NailsInc

Show Me The Bunny Balancing Sheet Mask ($10, adorebeauty.com.au)

Why not work to clear your complexion and dress up for Easter in one go with this oil-balancing bunny sheet mask? We can’t completely decide whether it’s cute or terrifying, but we’re certain it’s right on theme.

L’Occitane

L’OCCITANE Cherry Blossom Easter Egg ($25, au.loccitane.com)

If you’re trying to avoid the edible treats, this bath-and-body pack is certainly a worthy replacement. Or, if you’re feeling indulgent, rinsing with the soap and shower gel, hydrating with the hand cream, and then scoffing down your entire choccy stash is also an option.

Too Faced

Too Faced Chocolate Gold Eye Shadow Palette ($78, mecca.com.au)

Lean into the ‘chocolate for every meal’ vibe, and bring the tasty treat into your makeup stash too. Packed with mega-watt metallics and must-have mattes in shades like ‘Cocoa Truffle’ and ‘Love & Cocoa’ this palette is really a no-brainer for any choccy lovers.

Ilia

Ilia Lip Gloss in White Rabbit ($38, mecca.com.au)

Every bunny loves lip gloss, and this rabbit-inspired pearlescent shade is perfect for touching up your pout (after you’ve wiped away any chocolate residue, of course).

So…? Fragrances

So…? Miss So…? Day Dream Eau de Toilette

Worried the fam will forget you only like white chocolate? Give them a specific sweet-smelling reminder by wearing this white choc and caramel scent in the days leading up.

Lush

Golden Egg Gift Set ($60, au.lush.com) 

If your Easter weekend is set to include a bit of bath action it’s going to be hard to beat this pack of treats – the gilded gold egg is loaded with bath bombs and bubble bars in every Easter-themed shape from carrots to bunnies.

Bourjois

Bourjois Delice de Poudre Highlighting Palette

We’re highlighter fans in any scenario, but add a dreamy cocoa scent to the mix and you leave us no choice but to buy (and reapply every time the cravings hit).

BYBI Beauty

BYBI Beauty Babe Balm ($29, sephora.com.au)

Carrots aren’t just great snacks for bunny rabbits (and a must in any good Easter roast), they’re also dynamite in the brightness boosting arena. This multipurpose beauty balm is great for getting an all-over glow going over the weekend.

OPI

OPI Core Collection Nail Lacquer in Funny Bunny

This colour is a classic for a reason – it’s the perfect pink-white hybrid for a polished-but-not-too-girly mani. Luckily, the shade name gives us a free pass to continue using it as our go-to shade, special occasion and all.

Lycon

LYCON SoYummy Massage, Bath & Body Oil

Why leave the choccy-themed fun to your face? Get your body in on the action too with this massage, bath and body oil. We must warn you, though; the delectable scent may force your hand right back into the Easter egg pack.

  1. Don't celebrate specific dates. Celebrating every day though. Just bought a bunch of luxe lingerie. Needed refreshment after a good declutter. Nothing better but a fresh sexy undergarments =D

  2. Some lovely looking Easter goodies here. I’d be quite happy with any of them. Easter this year will be strange without our usual road trips. Oh well. Stay home and keep safe everyone.

  3. I’m willing to admit that hubby and I bought each other a Lindt bunny for Easter. He likes dark, I like milk. Problem is, I’ll eat it and regret it. I know I will.

  4. Just love the Bunny face mask – will look at getting these next year as wont have time to order now 🙁

    I already have the OPI Funny Bunny nail polish and wore it to my sons wedding – it was perfect!
