To bee or not to bee

My daughter had been raving about this mask (and I must admit it did appear to make a difference to her skin, so I rushed out to purchase my own. A little on the pricy side, but that aside, I was not disappointed. The packaging is attractive, a study and attractive container inside a box, with full description of contents and application on it. I do like the fact that is it a New Zealand product too! The texture of the mask inside is velvety smooth and easy to apply (you have to use your fingers here, which may not be such a good idea) so to prevent spread of bacteria have a spatula on hand. On application I felt a very mild tingling sensation particularly around the side of the nose, but it disappeared after five minutes or so. The mask is not difficult to remove (particularly if you use Garnier Miscellar water) and left the skin feeling really soft and smooth - no visible difference on first application so don't look for miracles! I used this twice a week for a fortnight and my skin did look good but only showed a noticable difference when I vamped it up to three times a week. I noticed visibly less dryness and a teeny bit of a glow. Now here is the million dollar question - are you meant to use it three times a week as it is going to be extremely costly? Yes the product is beautiful and no I dont believe it is the elixir to beauty and youth but it is good. One of the best masks I have used in a long time but needs very frequent application.

Tips: Definitely try it on a small area of the skin first as I dont think this will be a mask suitable for sensitive skins.

I'm glad that you mentioned about maybe not being suitable for sensitive skin... I've been interested in trying this, but it might be a bit strong for me! Great review! x

Thanks so much - it is definitely making a slight different the more I use it (twice a week at the moment) so could be a wee bit costly.

My Go To Holy Grail Mask - Success

Holy amazeballs, this mask feels amazing, so much so that once I had it on I really didn’t want to take it off.

My first impression of this mask was when I took it out of its box, it looked so luxurious, you know like those lovely bathroom products you would expect to see in a really expensive hotel or spa resort. It is in such a gorgeous glass jar and the packaging is just adorable.

When I took off the lid, I was hit with such pleasant smells, I think it may have been the honey that I could smell. Its not overly strong but it smells so nice, I couldn’t wait to put it on.

The formula is just lovely, so soft and silky, and it glided on so smoothly onto my face. I got such a warm sensation when I was applying it and my whole face felt all fuzzy and warm all over. It probably has to be the most enjoyable mask I’ve used so far. I left it on for probably longer than 20 minutes because I had to force myself to wash it off. It felt nice and soft once I had rinsed it off and my face felt super soft and clean. And it looked clearer too, great results from such a small jar. This may just be my Holy Grail mask.

Tips: You have to get you hands on this baby, you will not be disappointed.

BEEautiful Mask

This mask has a lovely box package. The box clearly indicate this is a New Zealand product and it contains bee vemon . It has 2 large bees on the box. Clearly labelled, simple, understated and pretty box. Outer packaging 5/5.

Opening the box there is a little brochure that tells you about the product and others available in the wild ferns NZ skincare. This details properties of the Bee Venom and Active Manuka Honey componenets in the face mask. I found this informative and interesting. This is an amazing, informative addition to the packaging.

The glass jar is simple, understated, pretty and clearly labelled. It has a gold lid and clear glass jar with black writing on the jar with sticker on the lid that has Bee on it with the words Bee Venom. This package is very clearly labelled and if you had any allergies to bee venom you have by this time been well warned that this product contains bee venom. 5/5 for jar.

Lifting the lid there is a white seal that covers the cream, on opening the product you are met with the most delightful, beautiful, clean, refreshing and interesting fragrance ever. The smell of this product is something that I recommend above everything else ... it is beautiful. 5/5

The mask is white. It is a very light cream. On applying it is soft, easy to apply and incredibly light ...it is hard to explain but it glides on easily, it does not feel thick and heavy on your skin it feels delicate and luxurious. For application, fragrance, general appearance of mask I give it a 5/5

The mask is easy to use. I felt a slight tingle when I applied it this lasted for almost the full 20 minutes but was not painful at all. For the feel of the mask I give it a 4/5.

On removal my skin felt tighter and cleaner. It almost glowed. The fragrance lingered which I was delighted about. Whilst I did not feel like it cleaned out all of my pores it did make my skin feel good. Again a 4/5.

The day after using this mask on each occasion I had a small out break of spots. I have yet to decide if this was due to the mask cleaning out the rubbish from my skin or if it was a reaction from the mask. This would be the only negative that I have had from the mask.

I enjoyed using the mask and will continue to. At the price of almost $40 I find this a little on the expensive side and don't know if I could afford to keep using a luxurious item like this on our budget, however on saying so I would definitely ask for it at Christmas or birthday time. The price I find a bit disappointing.

I did not find that I looked any younger as suggested but my skin was definitely stimulated as I am sure the tingling was indicating. I can say that after use my skin did feel good.

As a very busy working mum keeping the mask on for 20 minutes was probably the hardest thing to do but I found that I could apply it, cook dinner, remove it then eat. It is a long waiting time - this was a little disappointing.

Tips: Have a cleanser on hand as I found that water alone was not enough to remove it and any residue.

Bee-utiful

OMG people! this mask is bee-utiful! I was so excited for this trial that as soon as it arrived I was arranging kids around the tv/puter so I could go try it out. It comes in the most gorgeous glass pot and looks very high end (which it is). I cleansed first then dug my fingers in and slapped it on, the smell is really nice, a little like the arnica anti-flam, but I’m ok with that. Almost as soon as I got it on it started to give me a real burn sensation and not in a particularly good way I might add. I thought “drat!” but thought I will leave it on and just see how it goes. Well after about 5 mins the burning settled down and just left my skin feeling tingly and warm, I thought “yay!”. The blurb suggests you use it every night to get more noticeable results so that's what I did and the burning definitely got less as the week went on. I did find, however that if I didn't cleanse first it was much better so prob something to that?? I had no other reactions to it (except good ones) and I have super sensitive skin, so that makes me happy :-). The mask itself is a lovely creamy, velvety texture which doesn't go hard or sticky. I don't particularly like sticking my fingers in pots so a spatula would be great to go with it. I took some before & after shots and my skin did look more radiant and I couldn't stop touching it as it was so soft, lol. I’m going to keep using it as super keen to see what my skin is like after a month or so. At $38.95, its up there price wise but its really worth that, I will certainly be buying it again.

Tips: Use a spatula to get the product out of the pot so you don't have to put fingers in there. You can use it every day! How luscious is that?

Wild ferns bee venom mask - love!

i used this for 20min the first time, having washed my face as normal. It smelled divine and went on easily with no greasy after feel. It made my skin simultaneously cool and hot, like menthol. After 20min I took it off and my skin felt smooth and moisturised but no miracle result. I then thought I'd use it as a night mask, leaving it on overnight. I did that for a week and my skin looked amazing. After two weeks people were telling me how good I looked - that never happens to me! I love this product and am going to keep using it.

Tips: Use it overnight. Exfoliate to make it work even better. Prepare witty, modest responses to the compliments you'll get!

Bee Venom NZ Face Mask

This gorgeous package arrived 10 days ago so I wanted to take the most amount of time to trial before placing the review. It is a 50g tub of Bee Venom Face Mask product presented absolutely perfectly. The tub itself is just as divine. When you open the lid you are presented with an assortment of aromas which of course make up the product, Peppermint is the first smell that comes to mind, however it is not an overwhelming one. The product is very thick but glides or feels so smooth when you rub between your fingers. OK, so down to the review of using this on my face. I have to admit I am not one to ever do a face mask so this was an absolute first for me. The first thing I noticed was the lack of information available (also via the wildferns website) as to exactly how much of the product should be used when applying to the face area. The directions simply state 'apply evenly to face', so for someone who was a first timer I found these instructions not very helpful. Inserting the words 'sparingly' or 'generously' would have been helpful. As I wasn't too sure how much product to use exactly I went for the 'generous' size amount. To apply I used my fingers, started from my forehead and worked my way down to the chin area. Again, perhaps as this was my first time applying a face mask cream, I found this process a tad awkward for the first couple of times. Initially, to apply evenly took a good five minutes, however by the end of the trial period I had this 'art' down to one minute. So the feeling/sensation once applied is amazing! You immediately feel a strong coldness sensation which lasts pretty much until you rinse off. The smell is just gorgeous. This product is more like a face moisturiser as opposed to a face mask (I thought a face mask was something you apply to your face then peel off). The product is to be left on the face for 20 minutes before rinsing off. The entire time it is on your face you can smell the sweet scents, even after rinsing off the smell still remains for hours. Did I think it does what is stated? Not for me. My skin is no softer or smoother, and has no new radiant appearance. There is no extra firmness or plumpness either :( Finally, after ten days of use, the tub is near empty. It does state quite clearly that 'after longer use more noticeable results will be achieved'. I could not afford to spend $38/$39 every fortnight. I thank Beauty Review for allowing me the opportunity to trial this product. XX

Tips: DO NOT USE IF ALLERGIC TO BEE STINGS - this is stated on the box and the product tub. Pat face with warm/hot face cloth when rinsed off to open pores. Use moisturiser as soon as possible afterwards to lessen the feeling of tightness.

Not for me

The product comes in a glass jar with a spin-off lid. I love the packaging.

The mask contains NZ Bee Venom with Active Manuka Honey. Manuka Honey is known for its antibacterial and healing properties. Bee Venom rejuvenates skin. I was really excited to try this mask.

I have been using this Bee Venom mask for 2 weeks now. It is a creamy white crème, easy to apply, the consistency is just right, not too thick or too runny. It is hard to describe the feeling having it on, sort of cold tingling feeling which I expected. I leave it on for 20 minutes then wash it off. I honestly could not stand it more than 20 minutes.

I haven’t experienced any allergies or irritation. However, I did not like how it makes my face look super red every time I wash this mask off. Well, obviously this product contains ‘real” bee venom in it. Plus, I don’t really like the smell of it.

It seems to help my dry skin, making it soft and hydrated. Apart from that, I can’t comment on ‘”helping to firm and plump facial tissue for a smooth youthful looking skin” the product claims to do as I don't see any visible signs of improvement. I don't think I'll be purchasing it again.

I've been interested in trying this mask out, but I think I might have to give it a miss after reading your review! I've got a feeling that it would leave my skin a bit red too. Thanks for the review! I've found it really helpful!

yer its OK

I tried and loved the Manuka doctor bee venom mask but always forgot to repurchase it and the only way I could get my hands on it was online so I kind of forgot about it. I had heard of this brand and had heard people raving about it so when I found it in a gift shop I was pretty excited.

This comes in a solid frosted glass jar, with a silver screw top lid with the words “Bee venom New Zealand” and a picture of a bee embossed on top. Top marks for packaging Wild fern, it’s cute and classy but practical.

I use a teaspoon and scoop out a small amount and apply a thin layer to my face I am instantly hit by a strong rose fragrance it’s nice but quite overpowering, I am all for stronger scents but this is quite “sneezy” strong. It has a nice thick consistency that is easy to spread. This doesn’t have any tingly sensation when you apply it or while you wait for it to work its magic.

I leave it on for 20 minutes then gently massage my face for about 1 minute before rinsing it off. Afterwards my skin looks freshened and healthy but not glowing or breathtakingly amazing, while it is a nice mask I don’t think It has won me over. I have even tried using it as a moisturizer at night and leaving it on all night but didn’t get any better results using it that way either. It says to use it daily but I really don’t have the time to use it daily coz I’m a lazy bum bum. So have tried using twice a week. Just an average mask and probably wouldn’t repurchase.

Luxurious and affordable

Lovely product - beautiful smell, sheer luxury in a jar. Stunning packaging at an affordable price. Easy to apply and makes my skin feel really soft - good moisturising qualities. I don't have the time to apply it for twenty minutes at a time on a daily basis though, so that would be the only down side for me - but hoping it will do its magic even if applied less frequently. I would recommend this to all ladies who want to plump up their skins and improve collagen and elastin production.

Tips: I've done some research and found a serum and moisturiser in the same range - all really affordable with wonderful active ingredients that promise to make a huge difference if used long term - I will definitely try the other products too!
