When it comes to skincare, I’m all for trying new products that can help to boost my complexion and make my skin look and feel better than it does. And two of my newest skincare additions come in the form of Rodial’s Snake Serum and the Bee Venom Cleansing Balm. Now I have to admit, I was incredibly lucky to receive these in my Harvey Nichols Beauty Hamper (which you can see here). And since they arrived back in November, I’ve been using them non-stop. I’m a big fan of Rodial makeup, so I had high hopes for their skincare range. And it didn’t disappoint.
Rodial Snake Serum 02 £130
Now I appreciate that this is an expensive serum. I mean this is a really expensive serum. But having been to a talk hosted by skincare Guru Caroline Hirons I kind of agree with her philosophy. “If you would spend more on shoes, handbags, lipstick, jeans or fashion in general than you would on high quality skincare – you will be a sixty year old woman with a vintage wardrobe and a face like an alligator.” And seeing as I do spend a lot of money on bags, I probably should start to invest in my skincare. And having tried this I’ll definitely be repurchasing. This is honestly working wonders in boosting my complexion and just making my skin, look and feel better and firmer.
Rodial Bee Venom Cleaning Balm £50
A cleansing balm is an absolutely staple in my skincare routine and this one is just amazing. As would expect from Rodial and also for the price. It’s certainly not cheap but oh my it’s worth it. With Bee Venom – known for it’s plumping abilities, it also has a mix of salicylic acid and vitamin c. Both of which are known for their anti-ageing properties. All you need is a pump of the product, mix with water for a milk consistency before applying it your face. And then rinse. I’ve been using this in the evenings as part of my second cleanse and I have to say, it does feel like a luxury product. It smells beautiful and leaves my skin just feeling so soft. You can pick up the Rodial Bee Venom Cleansing Balm from Harvey Nichols.
I love the sound of both of these, they sound equally weird and wonderful all at the same time x
I’ve never tried this brand before, i’ve seen it loads of different blogs though
Such an indulgent post. Need!
Not tried this range before, they may be higher end in price but I have learnt (the hard way) you do on the whole get what you pay for
I have heard really good things about bee venom and skin care. The philosophy you shared from Caroline Hirons makes a lot of sense and I guess I’ve never really looked at it that way. Both of these products sound great and I may need to rethink how much I am willing to spend on skin care x
Rodial is not a brand I am familiar with but I am loving the sound of the serum and wouldn’t mind spending a little more money on a good product
That’s a good point about what you spend on clothes/ handbags, I never really thought of justifying expensive skincare like that x
I tried my first Rodial product in December and loved it! I would love to try these! xo
I’ve never tried Rodial but I do love the sound of their products, I’ll definitely give them a go soon!
I haven’t even heard of this brand, let alone tried it, it looks so cool!
They are quite pricey but like you said sometimes it is worth paying more and Rodial is a fantastic brand x
Hm, the serum is really expensive, but I agree with the logic – if you spend as much on fashion, then why not on skincare that would help you look good for longer.
We haven’t tried Rodial products yet, sounds pretty expensive but a good investment 🙂
These are all sounds like a good product and I always looking for a good skincare, I will check this out
I definitely think skincare is something you should invest in but I do find some brands really over price their products. I’ve heard a lot of good things about Rodial but I’m yet to try them, I must have a proper look into their range
I have never tried anything from Rodial but you have made me want to try both of these! They have really interesting ingredients it seems!
