Beauty Advent Calendars, Beauty Edits, Beauty Chests and Boxes, everything you need for 2023 but there is one or two things missing that I am here to share the best of - starting with Beauty Crackers. For the past 3-4 years, beauty crackers have really taken off and most brands have something to offer and here are some of the best ones.
ASOS (£12) - Featured in this post, ASOS has released three Beauty Crackers with three different themes and inside each one you will find Must-Have products for your skin, makeup and Self-care.
Bioderma Christmas Cracker 2023 (£15) - The ultimate gift this Christmas featuring three cleansing and body care Bioderma heroes - Sensibio Cleansing Micellar Water Sensitive Skin 100ml, Atoderm Intensive Balm Ultra-Soothing Emollient Cream 45ml and Atoderm Moisturising Stick 4g. On sale with Lookfantastic.
By Terry Opulent Star Stunning Eyes Cracker (£34) - The Stunning Eyes beauty cracker includes the best-selling cream eyeshadow Ombre Blackstar in 'Bronze Moon' and the mini-to-go version of the iconic Mascara Terrybly in 'Black Partis-Pris'. On sale with Lookfantastic.
Cult Beauty - This year Cult Beauty is offering three different beauty crackers - Hair Care, Self Care or Make-up. There is currently a waiting list to join to get your hands on these crackers, but I suspect they won't be around for long.
John Lewis (£18) - Alongside their amazing Advent Calendar and Christmas boxes, John Lewis is offering two Christmas Crackers. The first is the The Glam Cracker Makeup Gift Set which is worth £50 and is described as featuring an assortment of 3 deluxe glam icons, which include Ellie Saab, Benefit and Carolina Herrera. The second offering is The Shimmer Cracker Makeup Gift Set and it too features an assortment of 3 deluxe shimmer icons, which include Laura Mercier, Narciso Rodriguez and Bobbi Brown. You can find them both on sale with John Lewis.
Jo Malone (£36) - If the Jo Malone Advent Calendar is out of your budget range, then there is an offering of two crackers at very reasonable prices. The Cream Christmas Cracker featuring the Gingerbread design features three miniatures: a Poppy & Barley 9ml Cologne, English Pear & Freesia 30ml Body & Hand Wash and Wood Sage & Sea Salt 15ml Body Crème. Then the second option is the Christmas Cracker again in a gingerbread-inspired design and inside you will find a 9ml cologne in the fresh woody scent of Wood Sage & Sea Salt, a luscious 30ml English Pear & Freesia Body & Hand Wash and a 15ml hand cream scented with zesty Lime Basil & Mandarin. You can find both of these crackers on sale with Jo Malone.
L'Occitane Hand and Body Crackers (£22.50) - Overflowing with delightful in-shower oils and nourishing hand creams, surprise yourself (or your loved ones) with sweet-smelling skin and body care staples from the Almond, Verbena, Shea and Cherry Blossom Collections. On sale with Cult Beauty.
Margaret Dabbs London Fabulous Christmas Cracker (£18.20) - Inside this beautifully Golden cracker you will find the Margaret Dabbs London’s Intensive Hydrating Foot Lotion, a perfect treat for your feet. On sale with Cult Beauty.
Molton Brown (£20) - Every Christmas table needs a Molton Brown Cracker and with a choice of two it is a tough decision as to which one. If Woody and Aromatic is your scent choice then this is set you need, but if you prefer Floral and Fruity it's this set.
Next Ready, Set, Party Cracker (£10.50) - Said to be worth over £42, the Next Ready, Set, Party Cracker is filled with all your makeup must-haves including YSL Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick Mini in shade 01 and Nars Orgasm X Blush. On sale with Next.
Sarah Chapman Festive Glow Duo (£25) - This set includes the Sarah Chapman’s best-selling Ultimate Cleanse, as well as Overnight Facial. On sale with Space NK.
There will be many more Crackers, Baubles and Tree Decorations released over the coming weeks and as and when I get the information I will update this post, but this does give an insight as to what is currently on offer, if you want something a little bit different to give as a gift.
