by Shawna Healey · Manchester Evening NewsWhen it comes to dressing your table on Christmas Day, a cracker is a key element. While you can pick up a box that's filled with paper hats and and plastic tat that will go in the bin soon after the meal from one of the supermarkets, we've spotted a luxury £22 beauty cracker at John Lewis that is guaranteed to blow any beauty lover away on December 25.
Right now, John Lewis is offering its Full Glam Beauty Cracker that's worth £54 for less than half price. It includes four goodies from the likes of Mac, Yves Saint Laurent, Bobbi Brown, and Charlotte Tilbury.
Included in the set is a full-size version of Mac's Silky Matte Lipstick in the shade Ruby Woo. It promises 12 hour wear and glides on easily thanks to its silky smooth texture, reports the Mirror.

However, one shopper claimed: "I was disappointed with this set. Only the body butter, pillow spray and sleep balm have any fragrance at all- and the sleep balm and body butter not much. The bubble bath and shower oil barely smell at all." Another said: "Lovely products but so small! Body lotion bottles are particularly difficult to squeeze."
