Bee Venom Face Cream

Heyyy!

I follow this makeup artist on social media called Fern Howe. (Her instagram is fern_makeup). Fern's work is amazing and she's recently been a regular makeup artist for the likes of Katie Price, Stephanie Davis and Bianca Gascoigne.
And there's one particular product I've noticed she always uses for a completely flawless base.

Bee Venom!

I'd never heard of Venom Skincare before. But the more pictures I saw the more I felt I NEEDED to try it.
So I googled it and for a 50g  jar it's £45! Now I know that's pretty reasonable compared to many high end creams but for me, a drugstore lover, I thought 'Wow, can I really justify spending that on a face cream?'.
Baring in mind I am totally in love with an Avon day/night cream at the moment...

Anyhow, time passed and I saw Fern post a status with a 20% discount code for the cream.
£9 off.. how could I resist! £36 is acceptable right?
Well I decided it was so I went for it.

Delivery time was around 3 days which was great. 

Claims
·  Firms and tightens fine lines and wrinkles
·  Increases production of collagen
·  Long lasting hydration and moisturising
·  Revitalises the skin and rebuilds the skin barrier
·  Reduces negative effects of sun exposure
·  Clean and clear skin
·  Fights spots and acne breakouts
Application 
On trying this for the first time I really liked the consistancy of the cream. It felt super hydrating and moisturising without feeling like a thick heave cream. Having oily/combi skin I don't always enjoy a cream that feels heavy on my face.
Smell
I wasn't sure what kind of scent to expect and still to this day I couldn't describe it. But it has a pleasant scent.
Overall thought
I definitely feel as if this worked really well as a base before makeup. Even to the point of not needing to use a primer. It was like a 2 in 1 product for me.
In all honesty most of the time I've been unsung this in the mornings only BUT when I have used it morning and night my skin stays clean and clear.
This picture was taken with just natural day light. Skins looking flawless!

Is it worth £45.....?
I'm not entirely sure I could justify spending this all the time however when there's 20% off I definitely would.
