Okay, I’ve gotta be real here. I was SO excited to try the Numbuzin No.5 Glutathione C Mask because EVERYONE was talking about it. The internet's been raving about it, and I’m just like… 😬 what’s the big deal?
So, I ordered this bright yellow sheet mask (I was lowkey thinking I was gonna be glowing like the sun 🌞) and was ready for my K-beauty dream to come true. Spoiler: It didn’t. AT. ALL. 😒
Let me break it down, because I can't with this mask anymore.
First Impressions:
I’ll give them props for the packaging because it's cute and practical. BUT, that bright yellow sheet mask? 😳 What is this, Halloween?! I’m not trying to look like a highlighter ✨ on my face. But okay, I thought, "Maybe it’s just for show, right?" So I went ahead and put it on, hoping to be glowing by the end of this experience.
But nope, it just felt like any other sheet mask, except I looked like a walking minion. 🟡
Texture & Application:
Okay, let’s talk about the texture. The essence inside is THICK. I mean, I felt like I was slapping honey on my face 🐝. It wasn’t sticky in a "moisturizing" way though, more like “I can’t even move my face” kind of sticky. The mask itself didn’t really fit my face properly, either. I was constantly trying to smooth it out and get it to stay on my skin. Honestly, if you have a life to live, don’t waste your time fighting with a mask like this. 😅
Oh, and don’t even get me started on how thick and slimy the essence was. Like, I get it, it's supposed to hydrate, but I don’t want to look like I just dipped my face in oil 🛢️.
The "Results":
So, I left this on for the usual 20 minutes. Took it off, and... nothing. 🤷♀️ My skin felt fine, but honestly? It wasn’t any better than when I use my regular $3 sheet masks. My skin was moisturized, sure. But glowing? Brightened? Nah, girl. Not happening. The hype was a total letdown. 🥴
The next day? My skin still looked the same. No glow. No magic. Same ol’ dull skin. 🙄 If you’re expecting that "wow" factor, don’t get your hopes up. This mask didn’t deliver at all.
Let’s Talk Price:
The price is the REAL kicker here. Like, $12 for 4 masks?! 😱 That’s way too much for something that gave me the same results as my 99 cent mask from the drugstore. Don’t even get me started on the "luxury" sheet mask price tag. I could’ve spent that on something actually worth it, like a good moisturizer or serum. 😤
Honestly, I’d rather just get a box of those $5 mediheal masks that actually do something. I get why people are curious about K-beauty, but don’t fall for the bright yellow packaging and fancy ingredients. It’s just a cute gimmick, and nothing more.
Final Thoughts:
Honestly, I’m kinda pissed I fell for all the hype 😤. I’ve used better masks for way less money, and this one just didn’t impress me. The bright yellow mask was funny for, like, five minutes, but it didn’t give me any noticeable skin improvements. If anything, it was just a waste of my time and money. 💸
Look, if you just want a basic mask to hydrate your skin, this might work for you. But if you’re hoping for something extra like I was, don’t bother. Save your coins for a mask that’ll actually work.
Sorry, Numbuzin, you’re just not it. 🥴💅
