Wanna know a secret? When Scholl launched the Velvet Smooth Express Pedi Foot File a year or two ago, I was so intrigued that I kept watching Youtube video on how to use it. It’s therapeudic . The most interesting video I watched is from BeautyQQ. That little machine worked so well on her and her mum! Then last year, Scholl released a Limited Edition Velvet Smooth Express Pedi Foot File in Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I screamed. Pink is my favourite colour

Lazada Malaysia had a super-worthy-over-the-roof promotion whereas you only paid RM189 for Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi Foot File AND Kinohimitsu Collagen Diamond 5300 Drinks (50ml x 16). Mind you both of these already cost RM310.10 as normal price. My parcel reached me more than a week delay thus the late posting of this review . I am so sorry about that but do keep an eye on Lazada website. Who know they might change the pricing again for Hari Raya Promotion or any other promotion? Which I foresee they *might* . Don’t quote me

The packaging was easy to rip off, which was to my surprise and I was able to get the foot file out of the shell without any tugging war. It is a very simple hand-held device with just two item in it. The foot file itself and a plastic cover for the roller head. The overall package comes with the Electronic Foot File, a Diamond Crystals Extra Coarse Roller Head, a Cover, and four AA batteries.

Operating the Velvet Smooth Express Pedi Foot File is as easy as just a turn of the ON and OFF dial. As simple as that! No rocket science.

The roller head now are replaced with Diamond Crystals Extra Coarse. Although “extra coarse” sounds intimidating and painful, however it is not the case. It feels very comfortable on the feet actually. Before using the device, you are advised to clean both your feet and dry them up well. The device only works on hard skin on the feet therefore it can only be used on dry feet. Never ever try using it on wet feet. Work on one area at a time with not more than 3-4 seconds per area. If you keep working on the same area for a long time, you may risk having redness on your feet. So go back and forth if you needed to. You should not feel any discomfort or irritation at all. If you do, just stop using . There will be white powdery residue from the filing so do this in the open environment ya.

Lo and behold! Miss Feet aka my feet makes an appearance for the first time (I think) in this blog . Look away if you feel ticklish or having goosebumps lol.

I do not have hard skin on my feet but my feet do tend to get very dry and flaky with the hot weather.

As I am always on high heels, cracked heels is unavoidable. It gets worse with the dry weather but still, no hard skin formation thank God. My cracked heels situation is not the worse case scenario so it took me less than a minute to smooth them out. I was not able to smooth the lines away because like I said, the skin on my feet is quite thin so I do not want to risk getting my feet irritated by running the device repeatedly on the area. Once I was satisfied with the result, I stopped . I clean the foot file, wash the roller head, wash my feet and apply some foot cream. Voila! I am all done.

Are you still with me after the nasty feet photos? Yes? Good

It seems weird to see that Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi Foot File had a bundle with Kinohimitsu Collagen Diamond 5300 Drinks but it is also good as I get to try this version of collagen drink. I always believe and mentioned so many times before that besides nourishing our skin from the outside with topical skincare, we also need to take care of our skin from within. Regardless which type of product you choose, additional step to nourish our skin from the within is better than nothing.

The Kinohimitsu Collagen Diamond 5300 Drinks comes in a pack of 16 bottles. That is a whole month of supply as you only need to take one bottle every two days, before breakfast or bedtime. I like my collagen drink before bedtime as morning I would be on my usual coffee .

I remember how collagen drink used to taste fishy and not palatable at all. With the improvement year by year, collagen drink actually taste so much better now. Just like a fruit juice. This Kinohimitsu Collagen Diamond 5300 Drink is made of collagen, perilla seed extract, silk protein, soy isoflavone, and added with fruity condensed juice of apple, lemon and lychee. It is also far less sweet than every other collagen drink I have tried. I like the taste of this one better. It does not make me feel thirsty after one bottle. Best of all? No nasty fishy taste on the tongue.

This particular Collagen Diamond 5300 Drink is specifically for mature skin. That’s my skin we are talking about. It is meant to restore youthfulness, resilience and radiance as Collagen Peptide has a shorter molecular structure and easily absorbed by our skin. On a long run, it also tighten skin pore and reduce fine lines. As you may or may not know, collagen drink also strengthens our hair and nails too.

Implementing collagen drink intake into my beauty regime is not a secret as I have reviewed two brands before. Recently I tried another brand that is widely available at all major supermarket and pharmacy. That brand is none other than Kinohimitsu.

I don’t know about you but I know Kinohimitsu as a brand that produce collagen drink. Throughout the years Kinohimitsu had elevated thus coming out with more and more products. Not only I’ll walk you briefly on J’pan Beauty Drink – Collagen but I will also touch briefly on J’pan D’Tox Juice 6-Day Program.

Kinohimitsu J’pan D’Tox Juice 6-Day Program (RM79.90/box of six 30ml bottles)

Kinohimitsu J’pan D’Tox Juice uses a smart way to effectively flushes out toxins from the body within 2 to 4 hours. Despite being a detoxifying products it doesn’t interrupt daily life routine. It is made from 100% natural ingredients without any additives so it provide a high concentration of dietary fiber. These fiber increases the beneficial cultures in the digestive tract and improved as well as fortify the body’s defenses. Oh and did you know that this is derived from the Japan Royal Family?

J’pan D’Tox Juice is available in 2 different flavors – Cranberry and Plum. The one I tried is the Plum flavor. I prefer plum for it’s sourish taste. Each bottle weight at 30ml each.

This detox juice taste exactly like fresh plum juice. The main ingredient used is plum, blueberry and blackberry. For a full ingredient list, you can refer to the below picture.

Each box is a 6-day program course to effectively promote bowel movements. For first time user it is recommended to consume one bottle each for consecutive 6 days in a row after food intake. After the first program you may continue to consume 1-3 bottles a week. This program is especially suitable for people that suffer from poor digestion, constipation, stomach bloating, fatigue, low energy, poor complexion, blemishes, skin allergies, bad breath, body odor, headache and migraine. Taste excellent when chilled

Kinohimitsu said that it is important to detox before starting on collagen drink. This helps the collagen drink to be accepted and absorbed into our body easily and effectively. I was so nervous consuming this. I had bad experience with diarrhea after detoxification previously. It doesn’t help when I have weak intestine that are sensitive. For my first bottle consumption, I purposely consume it on a Sunday where I was at home. I’m terrified about running to the toilet again and again. One hour after consuming my first bottle I felt that my tummy was growling. It is not stomach ache, just a light growling. As I hit the 2nd hours the growling is more frequent and stronger. I felt a slight stomach ache but still doesn’t feel like those diarrhea type of stomach ache. You bet I hit the toilet to “detox” lol. To my surprise that’s the one time toilet visit only. The growling and pain stopped. It gets better on subsequent bottles. This would be my first time experiencing a pleasant detox process.

Kinohimitsu J’pan Beauty Drink – Collagen (RM89.90/box of six 50ml bottles)

Referred as “Youth & Beauty in a Bottle”, J’pan Beauty Drink-Collagen contains 2,500mg of high concentrated fish collagen to restore youthful skin. Experts around the world recommended to consume collagen daily in order to maintain the healthy beautiful skin.

Previously the fish used by Kinohimitsu is from Japan itself. Then they moved the factory to Taiwan after tsunami and uses high quality fish from France. Research conducted shown that the structure of fish collagen is nearly matched with human collagen. In another word it’s the most closest therefore it is suitable and safe to be consumed by human. Consuming this helps to boost up the collagen amount in our body. J’pan Beauty Drink-Collagen molecule is so small that easily absorbed by our body.

Weighing at 50ml each bottle, it is the same across other collagen drink as well. What makes each of them different is the collagen mg.

The main ingredient used is fish collagen, perilla seed extract-WSP, silk protein, soy isoflavone, apple, lemon and lychee condensed juices. I can taste the sweetness of lychee. Absolutely my favorite taste of all. For a full ingredient list, please refer to the below.

This is also a short 6-days course program that is recommended to consume consecutively for 6 days. The instruction stated to drink this either before breakfast or before bed time. On my first bottle I consume just before my bed time and I was awake the whole night. If you have experienced this before with other collagen drink I wouldn’t suggest taking this before bed because every other collagen drink kept me awake the whole night. I prefer this chilled as it taste better but nonetheless room temperature taste good too.

What J’pan Beauty Drink-Collagen does is that it effectively plump up your skin for a smoother, firmer and younger looking skin within a few weeks.

Kinohimitsu said that I should be able to see improvement in just 6 days which is after consuming one box of 6 bottles. However I don’t see any. I feel that 6 days is too short to judge. I would suggest maybe continue consuming for at least 12 days and above? The good thing is I like the lychee taste very much and I didn’t experience any breakout during the consumption period. I do have problem sleeping if I take this drink before bed. Once I switch it to day time everything is fine again.

A lot of people are confused with the origin of Kinohimitsu. The brand is from Japan, under a company named as Kino Biotech that operate a manufacturing plant located in Taiwan. Before this their manufacturing plant was in Japan, that was until after tsunami where the company decided to move it’s whole factory to Taiwan in order to provide a safer consumable products for all.

The question now is are you willing to start oral beauty supplement drink if you haven’t done so? What is your preference in choosing the right collagen drink? Price? Taste?
