Wild Ferns Bee Venom Face Mask Review

Just love this mask used for 3 days so far my skin feels so soft and skin looks healthy too. Smells really nice. Easy to use. definitely going to use everyday.

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.

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.

The packaging was lovely. I like glass and this came in a glass jar. The product was dreamy creamy consistancy the smell was nice though a little perfumey for my liking but hey who cares the stuff is magic and it works a treat. I gave it a week using every day and my skin looks great and feels wonderful.

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

The small glass jar is one of the fancier face mask products I own. The lid is lightweight and easily open/closes. While the product is small looking, a little goes a long way.

The product is white with a thick creamy consistency, and is easy to apply and smooth out. The instructions are to apply an even layer, leave for 20 minutes and wash off. I used this product at the beginning of my shower/bath (night time) on a freshly cleaned face.

While the mask is applied, there is an active cooling sensation which I found pleasant. I wouldn't say stinging as it didn't hurt, just a sensation that something is working (oh-my-god-bee-venom-is-on-my-face!). The mask doesn't dry though, and I used a face cleanser to remove it as it doesn't wash off with just water.

After a week of using the product, I found my skin was soft to touch and smooth.

I wanted to like this product as it's one of the few face masks I've found that you can use daily, however, on my combination/dehydrated skin, I had white heads pop up each morning because it was too thick and heavy for my skin.

At first sniff, I liked the soft powdery floral scent, however, after a week using it (and leaving it on for 20 minutes each time) I find the scent too purfumey and unpleasant. Reminds me of something my grandmother would use.

While the glass jar is nice, I find it too dangerous to use while in the bath/shower which is where I prefer to apply a face mask.

Before using the product, I did a test patch (as per the instructions) on my inner arm with no reaction. Product is not recommended for those who are allergic to bee stings.

I did like this product; it smells lovely, it goes on easily (is not sticky at all), goes a long way and is a feel-good treatment.

The time involved, every night, was/is a bit much for me at this time of year, however, I made the effort and, whilst I can see some improvement in my skin, it's barely discernible/possibly a figment of my imagination.

That said, at this time of year, my skin is a hard ask of any product.

So, simply put - I liked using it and will use it again - I think it may be more effective on my skin during winter months, but I'm obviously guessing on that.

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.

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.

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.
