Over the holiday season, many people look forward to popping open a Christmas cracker and finding small items like novelty trinkets and paper crowns inside. This season, vegan and cruelty-free beauty brand Lime Crime is selling 'Diamond Crushers Cracker Boxes' that are instead filled with cosmetics.
On the inside of the Christmas crackers are miniature versions of the brand's Diamond Crushers, lip products that are said to provide "the effect of crushed diamonds on your lips" with a weightless, water-based formula.
The Diamond Crushers Cracker Box is available in three different themes: #GOLDS, GLINDA and UNICORN, each of which features a trio of best-selling shades like the shimmering Dope and Lit, the bold Acid Fairy and the ethereally hued Unicorn Queen.
