Beauty Christmas crackers are a festive favourite and John Lewis has arguably the best of the bunch. Last year, the department store's limited edition Yuletide crackers sold out almost instantly after going live online and this year's stunning options are guaranteed to be no different. John Lewis has released a number of beauty Christmas crackers this year, including The Party Ready Cracker and The After Party Cracker . Both Christmas crackers are worth £75 or £87, depending on which you opt for, but those who make their purchase through TopCashback can score one for less than £13. Whilst the process might sound daunting, it's free and simple to do. By making your purchase of one of the beauty Christmas crackers through the money-saving site , you'll receive a £15 sign-up bonus as well as cashback to your account.

Existing members of TopCashback will not be eligible for the sign-up bonus but will still earn cashback on their purchase, brining the price of the calendar down to £27.77 after all the discounts have been applied. To put it another way, with cashback and the sign-up bonus applied, it makes each of the four products in either of the Christmas crackers just £3.19 apiece. To get your hands on the deal, all you need to do is make your purchase through this unique link . The The Party Ready Cracker , worth £87, contains four makeup heroes from bestselling brands. It contains the Light Reflecting Luminizing Powder from Nars, which is designed to provide an ethereal, radiant sheen anywhere you want to reflect light, including cheekbones, brow bones, and down the centre of the nose. The cracker also contains a full-sized Eye Kohl in the shade 'Teddy' by MAC, as well as as Sculpted by Aimee's MyMascara in Ultra Black. It's completed with the Prime Time Redness Reducing Primer by bareMinerals, designed to extend makeup wear, reduces visible redness with sheer green mineral pigments, and helps calm and nourish skin. For those who prefer skincare, The After Party Cracker , worth £75, might be the better option. It contains a 15ml pot of the S hiseido Vital Perfection Uplifting and Firming Advanced Cream, providing a more lifted, firmer, and brighter looking skin in one week. Engineered to minimise fine lines and wrinkles, the Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6 Stable Retinal Night Serum promises to plump skin and revitalise tired complexions overnight. The cracker also contains a 30ml tube of Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Daily Foaming Cleanser and a travel-friendly Elemis Pro-Collagen Vitality Eye Cream. Elsewhere, the Festive Crackers Collection by L'Occitane is available for £30. Coming in a pack of four, each cracker contains two of the brands bestselling shower gels and hand cream in the matching scent. Alternatively, the Boots X The Beauty Crop Beauty Icons Gift Set costs £35 and is worth £57. Housed in a stylish, on-trend see-through pink zip bag, the collection includes six full-sized treats from the much-loved Oui Cherie Mist and Primer to a silky Setting Powder and a cute scrunchie. Back at John Lewis, both the The Party Ready Cracker and The After Party Cracker are yet to receive any reviews but, if going by the reaction to last year's John Lewis Christmas beauty crackers, they're going to sell out fast. One thing to note, however, is the beauty crackers contain mostly travel-sized products, so, if you prefer fill-sized items, these sets may not be the best option for you.
