Kinohimitsu Superfood for Lady Review

Feeling experimental as usual! Decided on Kinohimitsu's Superfood (ShopeeMY | Amazon) because I noticed my diet has been very unbalanced of late! Mostly because of work which meant I spend 15-30 minutes swallowing my lunch before I am back in my cubicle being a keyboard warrior or racking my brain. Other times, I resort to just having pastries for lunch! Might sound terrible but I actually like bread LOL. Problem is, they're not the most nutritious food ever... all the carbs! Doesn't help my breakfast is a muffin which also translates to carbs.

While I do not buy 'health food' like these, I do try to include nutritious foodstuff into my usual diet by incorporating fruits, salads and Japanese sweet potatoes 'cuz they're so yummy! The main reason is I wanted to at least have nutritious food without having to spend time in the kitchen or go grocery shopping. Like heck, I can't even blog as often these days...

Of course there are many brands which offer similar products but I am usually very much confident with Japanese brands *shrug*

Kinohimitsu carries several Superfood range, the one I bought is called Superfood Lady but they too have Superfood Supreme, Superfood (original perhaps?) and Superfood Kids, walao! I bought mine at RM72.99, normal price at RM84.81 but I have spotted them on 30% discount at Aeon Wellness just this week.

I was deciding between the three (obviously, the kids' one is not an option) but decided the pink color looks more appetizing hahaha. Aside from the color, it does have interesting nutrients mixtures, more berries which I love!

 I have since emptied my first can and am reconsidering to reintroduce it as breakfast after several weeks of converting to Mighty White's tuna and ikan bilis bun for breakfast (they're really good!)

Preparing this is simple, just add two spoonful (measuring spoon comes with the can) of the powder and add cold water. I added one-fifth of warm water (after the cold one) because I prefer it lukewarm. This one cup is enough to keep me filled until just lunchtime.

Just so you know, this is is NOT a weight-loss or detox drink_ I read from other blogs it doesn't work that way. Even I didn't notice a change in my weight during the period I consumed this. If you are looking for something for this purpose, you can check out other Kinohimitsu's products. Just saying 'cause I know they do carry these, cannot guarantee they work because I haven't try any myself.

To conclude, this is a great addition as breakfast, brunch or tea time if you are conscious about your nutrients intake without needing the hassle of preparing a wholesome diet. Just a lazy but nutritious food for people busy adultinglah LOL

[Sponsored] Kiseki Japan Marine Collagen Facial Cleanser Review

Hoola y'all~! I'm back with sharing yet another amazing skincare product, Kiseki Japan Marine Collagen Facial Cleanser, the very brainchild of Cecil Beh. While the product is sponsored by Kiseki, which translates to "miracle", before I review I made sure to test it so I can share my honest opinion with you as always (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o))) I'm a sucker for any beauty products made in Japan because they work and Kiseki didn't disappoint (Will get to that real soon)! My first impression is that the soap smells super good, the parcel arrived smelling as though someone purposely spray perfume in the bag hahaha!

Another thing I find cool is because the soap is transparent!! Like, how did they make this?!

I love how they decide to make the facial wash into a bar soap. If you have read my recent posts, you find me advocating and transitioning to a greener, sustainable lifestyle. That means trying to reduce waste and soap bars are one way to do that since there are less plastic waste!

The key ingredient is the Marine Fish Collagen dubbed the fountain of youth. I find this interesting because I have yet to come across any skincare products that utilizes collagens from fish scales. I have read that usually collagen in beauty products aren't really collagen but nature-derived such as peptides or kinetin that stimulates the skin to produce their own collagen. You can imagine how excited I was to have the opportunity to try it.

Another ingredient in the soap I find interesting is the use of Royal Jelly. You may have came across beauty products with propolis or simply, honey in their ingredients. I'm a BIG FAN of any beauty products with Royal Jelly, they do wonders to your skin! They keep your skin super hydrated, contains anti-oxidant & anti-aging properties and boost skin healing! Heck, I even have a hair treatment made of honey and it's my absolute favorite!

For the more ingredients-conscious beauty product fans, you'd be happy to know this soap is Parabens-free and only uses natural ingredients such as fish scales, 10 different types of rare herbs & flowers extract. 

How to use?
Step 1: To use the foam net provided to create creamy foams.
Step 2: Wash face in upward and outward circular motion.
Step 3: Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry with a clean towel.


Finally, finish off with your usual skincare products. I was informed to avoid using oil control products and instead use other nourishing or moisturizing skincare products as this soap is supposed to thoroughly cleanse your face for better absorption rate of your skincare. Therefore, during the period I was experimenting with this soap, I skipped my tea tree oil routine but still apply my lotion, moisturizer and serum.

The foam net that comes together with the soap does an amazing job in creating the creamy foams. You don't need to use to a lot water! I didn't know that on my first try which resulted in so much foam even after washing my neck I still have so much left LOL! Super love the foam net, think this is genius and can work to replace cleanser plastic bottles with those foam-making pumps (Yeap, I'm all about sustainability these days!) Plus, it doubles up as a soap hanging storage when not in use.

My verdict? Indeed my face feels super clean and refreshed after washing! Just so you know, I have combination skin so by the end of the day, my T-zone usually gets very oily so the soap really helps to strip whatever all the oil and dirt off my face while keeping the skin moisturized. In fact, the fresh feeling lasted for many hours I even find myself waking up to less oily skin and smaller pores! This without even having to resort to using the Innisfree's Blackhead Goodbye Finger Tip Silicon.
  
On top of that, of late I am very obsessed with scents especially natural oils and certain perfumes because I find them soothing especially after a hectic day at work. So getting to use this sweet-scented cleanser feels great and make me happy HAHAHA! It's true!

In my opinion, Kiseki Japan Marine Collagen Facial Cleanser is definitely on the pricier end but befitting of the premium ingredients they have use to make the soap. Not to mention the Japan technology that went into making the soap! If you're interested to give this a try, I am happy to share that you can purchase this amazing soap for RM119 (Usual Retail Price at RM139)!
