Scentbird Skincare January Review
Scentbird might already be your go-to for scents each month but when we discovered they also offer skincare as a monthly option? You know I had to sign up!! The skincare options work similarly to the fragrances. Within the shop, simply select the skincare tab and start adding items to your queue.
Here is an example of some of the brands and products. There are limited numbers of each, though they seem to be restocked quite often. In the upper right-hand corner of each image, you can see your upgrade cost which is added to your normal membership price. These upgrades range from $5-15, though some of the less expensive items have no additional charge.
Here is what my queue currently looks like. In my first month of November, I saved a ton of money. I decided to up my membership to the 2 products per month plan ($25.00/month) to see how far I could stretch my membership dollars.
What did I pick this month? Let's dive in!
1 of 5
Joanna Vargas Daily Hydrating Cream, 1.69 fl oz - Retail Value $75.00
FYI: This item has a $5 premium upcharge.
It is no secret I am a huge Joanna Vargas fan. I have followed her for quite some time on Instagram and I finally tried one of her products in my first month of this subscription! Her formulas are indeed pricy, but they work beautifully and make me feel very chic, so that is pretty much a win in my book. (Speaking of books, Joanna is releasing one in February that I have already pre-ordered!) This day cream has a really great texture that is perfect for wearing under your makeup. A word of caution: I did notice that if I applied too much, it did pill just a little, but spritzing my face with a toner or mist before application nixed this issue. It has a fresh and creamy scent and is filled with hydrating ingredients like shea and jojoba oil. It also has some SPF inside, though I couldn't find a specific SPF number, which, admittedly, is a little weird.

Peach & Lily Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream, 1.69 fl oz - Retail Value $40.00
FYI: This item has a $5 premium upcharge.
Peach & Lily is a Korean brand that I have had my eye on for a few months now. When I saw this matcha cream in the Scentbird shop, I just had to try it. I legitimately love anything with green tea or matcha because my skin seems to lose a little redness when I keep this ingredient in my rotation. It also brings loads of antioxidants to any routine. If I could change one thing about this cream, it would be the addition of an actual matcha scent. Instead, it is more of a creamy citrus? Maybe? The texture is great and absorbs easily. I would consider this on the lighter end of the moisturizers I generally use, so I think it might be a great spring and summer skin treat. It also has niacinamide (for lightening pigment spots) and adenosine (which is perfect for firming skin!), making it a really well-rounded cream.
Verdict: This month with my $25 membership (plus 2 $5 upcharges), my total for January came to $35. I received $115 worth of product. That is one heck of a deal! Of course, this changes from month to month depending on the products you select, but I have yet to not save a ton of money with this subscription. It has allowed me to try out products and brands I would have never been able to afford, and I am loving it!
To Wrap Up:
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? Yes, all you have to do is choose these items for your queue. As long as there is still stock at the time of your monthly processing, it's yours!
Value Breakdown: This subscription is $25/monthly for two items and my product of choices had a $10 total upgrade fee attached, bringing my total cost to $35. For $115 dollars worth product, this means I saved almost 70%!
