John Lewis’s beauty crackers are the ‘ideal Christmas gift’ for you or a loved one
Each cracker is packed with all the make-up and perfume you need for Christmas party season.
If you're on the hunt for the perfect Christmas gift for a beauty fan, then you need to snap up John Lewis's new beauty crackers. Not only are they packaged in a festive giant cracker decorated with pink and red stripes, but inside each cracker is a full make-up routine that offers absolutely fantastic value for money.
There are two crackers to choose from: The Full Glam Beauty Cracker and the Radiant Glow Beauty Cracker - each with slightly different products, depending on the kind of make-up look you're after.
The Radiant Glow Beauty Cracker costs just £22, but inside you'll find a range of premium beauty products that are worth a total of £71.70. It contains a full-size Bare Minerals Mineralist Gloss-Balm (usually £23) and a Lumene Invisible Illumination Instant Illuminizer (usually £27.50). Plus, miniatures of a nude hued Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick and Tory Burch Electric Sky Eau de Parfum. It works out at just £5.50 per product, which is an absolute bargain.
For the bargain price of just £22, you can unwrap four products, including a full size Lumene Invisible Illumination Instant Illuminizer and Bare Minerals Mineralist Gloss-Balm, alongside minis of the Tory Burch Electric Sky Eau de Parfum and Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick.
The cracker is already getting rave reviews from satisfied shoppers. One customer said:"It's so nice I bought one for me and one to gift! Each item is something you'd really use and feels premium. Treat yourself (or someone else!)"
Given that the cost of just one full-size products you can unwrap in the Radiant Glow Beauty Cracker is more than the price of the entire set, you'll struggle to find a better deal anywhere else.
If you have a particular penchant for bold red lipstick and a splash of shimmery eyeshadow for the Christmas party season, then you need to see the Full Glam Beauty Cracker, which is also £22 and has a contents value of £54.01.
Inside is a full-size MAC Silky Matte Lipstick (£16) in the iconic bright red shade Ruby Woo, as well as three miniatures of a Charlotte Tilbury Exagger-Eyes Mascara, Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick and Yves Saint Laurent Libre Eau de Parfum.
If you like a statement red lip or smokey eye finished with a luxurious spritz of fragrance, this beauty cracker ticks every box.
I've long loved using Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow Sticks (£16) in my own makeup routine. They're easy to swipe onto your eyelids and blend with just your finger, require no brushes or intricate blending techniques, and last all day.
One shopper said the Full Glam Beauty Cracker is the 'ideal gift', adding: "Great little gift set for those who love named beauty brands and at an affordable price, ideal gift for Christmas or birthday."
These two beauty crackers are not only a steal in terms of price, but are packaged in beautiful, festive wrapping and will definitely make any recipient very happy come Christmas Day. Or, treat yourself to your own Christmas present with add them to your basket and enjoy.
Either way, given how great value these crackers are, and the high-end products inside, they will no doubt be popular among John Lewis shoppers, so we'd bag them while they're still available.
