Scentbird was designed for customers to try luxury perfumes before committing to purchasing. A subscription gives users access to a 30-day supply of hundreds of top designer fragrances, that are delivered to your door for just $14.95/month.
Over the years, they have expanded into other categories including makeup, and skincare. In addition to selling other brands, they have ventured into developing their brand of products. This includes a collection of recently launched crystal inspired face masks. I was allowed to test out all 5 masks in the collection. Here are my thoughts!
Rose Quartz Nourishing Youth Mask

The rose quartz nourishing youth mask contains rosehip seed oil, to provide intense nourishment, while also minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also has honey to lock in moisture for a soft & smooth complexion. Crushed rose quartz also helps plump and rejuvenate the skin’s natural glow.
This is probably the creamiest mask in the collection. It doesn’t dry down and is very hydrating. My skin was very supple and the moisture lasted well into the next day. I think it would be best suited for those with extremely dry, and even combination skin.
Moonstone Hydrating Sleep Mask

The moonstone mask is a pillow-proof formula made with Hyaluronic Acid to lock in moisture to the skin, for a luminous, lit-from-within glow. It also contains crushed moonstone crystals that infuse skin with radiance, while freshwater lily soothes and moisturizes, for silky, supple skin.
This is the one mask that you can use daily. You can either use it on top of your moisturizer to lock it in or in place of it to lock in the benefits of your serums.
It also has a satin matte finish so you won’t see any of it on your pillow at night, but once you rinse it off it leaves your skin feeling extremely hydrated. I’d say this is probably the most universal of the masks and is great for all skin types.
Black Onyx Warming Detox Mask

The black onyx mask strips away pore-clogging dirt, oil, and pollution to purify the skin. It also contains black silt to help reduce the look of pores & keeps oil at bay, without stripping skin of essential moisture. Jasmine in the formula helps to enhance the skin’s natural elasticity.
The black onyx mask is the strongest of all the masks, and therefore should only be used once a week. It has manual exfoliating particles that may be slightly abrasive, so you have to be gentle when applying. You definitely will feel warming and slight tingling that intensifies as you wear it. I did experience slight irritation in places the longer it was on, as well as on my forehead and eyebrow where I had pimples.
This formula acts more like a chemical exfoliant, so you may experience some skin purging for a day or two after the initial application. Once it clears up, you are left with a clearer complexion and should notice a reduction in dark marks. I’d recommend this mask for anyone who has blemishes, hyperpigmentation, and more severe breakouts. I wouldn’t, however, recommend it for anyone with extremely sensitive skin.
Amethyst Calming Cooling Mask

This mask is infused with a white tea extract Centella Asiatica that helps to calm skin and reduce inflammation. It also contains lavender flowers to help soothe & hydrate skin, and crushed amethyst crystals to help banish redness and balance the complexion.
This formula also has manual exfoliant particles. You will feel a minor tingle, as well as your skin tightening while you wear it. I didn’t experience any irritation during or after wearing this mask and noticed a clearer complexion.
I would say that if you have sensitive to extremely sensitive skin, but want to detoxify, this is a more mild version of the black onyx mask. It has similar effects during the application, but you will not experience any irritation or purging from this particular mask. I would recommend using it once or twice a week, for anyone who has minor blemishes, and those who just want to reenergize their skin.
Citrine Brightening Peel-Off Mask

This mask claims to banish imperfections and boost brilliance in the skin. It contains turmeric & Vitamin C help revitalize the appearance of dull & uneven skin for a refreshed and radiant complexion. The star ingredient is crushed citrine infused with powerful antioxidants to help ward off damaging free radicals.
This is a very thick mask that is sticky but stiff. I’d recommend applying with a brush because it can be a little difficult to apply to the skin with your hands. You may experience some tugging on your face without an applicator tool of some sort. You also want to apply a thick layer, very quickly before it starts to dry down. If it is not even in all areas, you could have some trouble removing it.
This isn’t a quick fix mask. I’d suggest using it at least once a week for a month to six weeks before you will see results. I specifically recommend this for anyone who has dull and dehydrated skin, who wants to restore their natural glow.
Final Thoughts
All of these masks are formulated without parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and mineral oil, which make them great for anyone who has reactions to any of these chemicals. I enjoyed using all of them, as they all have different purposes and will garner different results.
