Shoppers can get their hands on a ‘miracle in a jar’ anti-ageing moisturiser and 11 other beauty favourites for £40 as part of the latest money-saving beauty box launch from Glossybox. The retailer has brought back their coveted beauty Easter egg for 2024 - and one product is worth £10 more than the price you pay for the whole haul.

The egg contains 12 beauty products including brands like Elemis, E.L.F and Iconic, with a retail value of over £167. The spring haul launched at midday today (March 6) for general sale, saving around £127 on the contents.

Coming in a sparkling lilac egg complete with a dusky pink ribbon, it’s the ultimate alternative to chocolate for the beauty obsessed this Easter.

The hero product inside this beauty egg has to be the Elemis Pro-Collagen Morning Matrix 15ml, which is worth £50 alone - almost £10 more than you pay for the egg, essentially making everything else completely free The anti-ageing formula has been developed to help reduce the visible effects of damage from blue light, as well as minimise the appearance of fine lines and fatigued-looking skin.

It’s got hundreds of five-star reviews on the Elemis website, ranging from ‘miracle in a jar’ to ‘best moisturiser for every day’, with one commenting: “This is the best thing I have ever used on my face.”

Another added: “Game changer! I have used Elemis exclusively for years and this is the best product thus far. I am 71 and only have light crows feet when I smile- which is all the time. This, combined with the Vitality Eye cream have nearly eliminated these. Love the Morning Matrix so much!”

But some haven’t seen the results they’d hoped for, adding: “So far I haven't seen any improvement to my skin....to me it's not as effective as other products I use from Elemis.”

Despite paying for the box and then some, the Elemis cream isn’t the only exciting product inside the box, with a number of Mirror beauty team favourites like the Elf Power Grip Primer and Bondi Sands Wild Strawberry Lip Balm, not to mention a full-size BH Cosmetics Hangin’ n Hawaii Colour Eyeshadow Palette.

It looks to be worth a little less than last year, with the 2023 offering which contained 10 products with a combined value of £204, but still priced at £40, however, it is cheaper than some of the other options available, like Lookfantastic’s £60 beauty egg.

Shoppers can also save £10 on the Glossybox egg if they’re a subscriber to their monthly beauty box, taking the price down to £30.

Elsewhere, Rituals and L’Occitane both have beauty eggs for 2024, but their price to value ratio doesn’t appear to be quite as lucrative as those from Glossybox and Lookfantastic, with another from Lush that is perfect for bath lovers. You can find all of the best beauty eggs for 2024 here.

But if it’s the Glossybox egg starring the £50 Elemis cream, you can snap it up here for £40.
