Rodial’s Bee Venom Gold Cream has dropped by a whopping 87% in the brand’s huge Black Friday sale
Black Friday is officially here, which means the floodgates have opened on deals across the board, especially on top-rated luxury beauty products that are usually way out of my budget. As a long-time Rodial fangirl, I’ve been counting down the days for the brand to drop its Black Friday offers, but even I wasn’t prepared for this: a jaw-dropping £655 price cut on one of its most coveted skincare launches.
Rodial, the celebrity-adored beauty brand loved by Kate Middleton, has unleashed an 87% discount on its Bee Venom and Placenta 24 Carat Gold Ultimate Crème. That takes it down from a wallet-trembling £750 to £95. Yes, really.
And while I’m still recovering from that discount alone, I’ve also spotted a handful of other bestselling Rodial favourites worth adding to baskets, from volumising mascaras to hydrating heroes.
Below, I’ve rounded up the best deals for your buck. Happy shopping!

Rodial is treating beauty lovers to 25% off sitewide, featuring its most iconic skincare and makeup heroes.
Bee Venom and Placenta 24 Carat Gold Ultimate Crème£95, was £750
Rodial’s most luxurious daily cream is billed as a ‘rejuvenating treatment’ designed to brighten, firm and smooth. Apparently used by the Princess of Wales herself, it leans into some ambitious ingredients (placenta, anyone?) to help soften expression lines and boost circulation.
A quick PSA: for anyone allergic to bee stings, this one’s not for you. And as always, patch testing is recommended.
As expected, it’s had some great reviews. This shopper said: “From the first application, my skin felt soothed, hydrated, and noticeably firmer. The texture is luxurious but absorbs beautifully, leaving no greasy residue – just a soft, radiant glow.”
But someone else noted: “I have been using it morning and night for two weeks. I have not noticed any improvement in fine lines or wrinkles, but my skin is super hydrated.”
XXL Mascara Duo Kit – £38, was £58
Rodial’s XXL mascara is one of my current go-tos, and right now shoppers can score two for the price of one. The ultra-black formula works overtime to maximise lashes, delivering shine, length and that fluttery fullness I’m always chasing. On me, it lasts all day and makes my lashes look long, lifted and oddly expensive.
Another recommended mascara I’ve spotted in the Black Friday sale is Sculpted by Aimee’s MyMascara, now £13.30 from £19 at Cult Beauty. The curved wand is a game-changer, hugging my lash line perfectly and leaving them looking fuller, lifted, and longer.
Dragon’s Blood Kit – £145, was £205
Rodial’s Dragon’s Blood range is a bestseller for a reason: its deeply hydrating, soothing formulas leave skin feeling bouncy and calm. This kit includes three fan favourites: the Micellar Cleansing Water, the Hyaluronic Mask and the Hyaluronic Velvet Cream.
I’ve only tried the Cleansing Water so far, but it’s become a staple in my night-time routine, leaving my skin fresh, soft and properly nourished. The Sculpting Gel and Velvet Cream sound just as luxe, promising to plump, firm and smooth dull complexions.
In terms of reviews, one happy fan said: “Great set of products, skin feels plump and soft.” The products have had overall positive reviews, but one Micellar Cleansing user noted: “Sampled it but it doesn’t leave much of an impression.”
Meanwhile, another said: “It is a present for my sister who uses it all the time and swears by it.”
Banana Makeup Kit – £45, was £65
Two of Rodial’s most popular products, the Banana Lowlighter and the Glass Powder, have become go-to staples in my routine this year, so spotting them bundled together in a discounted kit felt like a real win. The set includes both cult favourites and a convenient powder puff.
For those who haven’t tried the Glass Powder yet, it’s earned its status for a reason. The moment I applied it, my pores looked smoother, my complexion appeared more even, and the finish hit that sweet spot between matte and luminous.
The Banana Lowlighter is equally impressive. Known for its brightening effects, it acts as a subtle highlight that helps mask dark circles and signs of tiredness. The cream formula is packaged in a chic tube with a precise wand, making it easy to apply exactly where it’s needed.
Beyond Rodial, Look Fantastic is offering several worthwhile beauty bundles. The latest Trending Edit is reduced to £28 from £40 and includes six products worth £125 from brands like Kate Somerville and Sol de Janeiro.
