Content: 135g (4.5g x 30 sachets)


Price: $74.90 



My experience trying the product:

Upon opening the box... I was greeted with 30 individual sachets of AFC Cho Beauty.

Each sachet contains 4.5g of product. ( I really like the idea that the product comes in these handy individual sachets which is so convenient and easy to consume!)

There are 2 ways to consume Cho Beauty. I will be showing you the "Mix with Water" method...  Just need a glass of water (150-200ml), a spoon and of course a sachet of Cho Beauty..

^When I added a sachet of Cho Beauty into a glass of water (at room temperature) ..

After stirring the powder well in water, I got a glass of Cho Beauty drink... Although it is stated as grapefruit flavour, I find that it tasted more like orange to me.. The above Cho Beauty drink tasted like a diluted orange drink, the taste is still acceptable to me though. (of course, you can add the sachet of Cho Beauty into your fruit juice or honey water according to your preference)

Ok, I mentioned that there are 2 ways to consume Cho Beauty. I also tried another method, that is by pouring the powder of sachet slowly directly into my mouth and following by drinking water. I have to say consuming Cho Beauty this way gives a different taste as compared to diluting it in a glass of plain water. While the latter gives a diluted orange taste, the former gives a stronger sweet-sour orange taste. 

(One word of caution, please do not pour the whole sachet directly into your mouth in one shot.. sure will choke, do it in small mouthful, drink water in between and enjoy the nice orangish after-taste!)

I alternate between these 2 methods depending on my mood/situation. If I see any bottle of water around me during the time I want to consume Cho Beauty, I will just use the "pour into my mouth" method ..faster and I do not have to use a cup.

For the past 2 weeks, I have been taking 2 sachets everyday. 1 sachet in the morning and 1 sachet at night, on an empty stomach, and I do experience smoother bowel movement. I used to go to toilet once a week, but now my constipation problem has greatly improved, and I now find myself experiencing very smooth defecation on almost every alternate day.  Plus NO diarrhoea effect!


My digestive system has improved and my stomach is not so bloated as before. My big tummy is still present but its now slightly flatter, I guess regular defecation helps! One of my main concerns is to improve my current problematic complexion, and I am happy that Cho Beauty has helped prevent new acne outbreaks. My pimples are now in the healing process. 

Good health begins with our intestines, Cho Beauty Inner Cleanse System is an all-natural solution to flush accumulated waste for a true sense of well-being.

Now let me show you more about the product and tell you how it is like....

AFC Green Beauty comes in individual sachets (30 sachets in each box), very convenient and handy to carry a few sachets in our bags. We can prepare a beauty drink anytime anywhere.

It is mentioned that Green Beauty dissolves easily in hot or cold water .. I shall put that to test..normally powder do not dissolve well in cold water, no matter how well you stir the mixture..

When I poured cold water into my glass, I think most of the powder had already dissolved. I just merely stirred the mixture for 2-3 seconds..Green Beauty powder just dissolves that easily in cold water without any clumps floating .. and there is no residue of the powder at the base of the glass.. Amazing! 

What do you think this beauty juice will taste like by looking at these pictures? Green Tea taste? Not really a green tea! I drink green tea almost everyday but this does not taste like any green tea.. A hard to describe taste actually..It can be tasteless at one sip, but taste sweet at my next sip.. In fact, after drinking so many glasses- both hot/cold green beauty drinks, I still cannot think of any drink/ingredient that is similar to the taste of Green Beauty..A unique taste of its own! 

For those of you who know me or have been reading my blog would know that I have pretty horrible constipation problems for years.. and Green Beauty drinks really helps aid my constipation, inducing smooth bowel movement. After taking Green Beauty drink every night before I go to bed for the past 3 weeks, I go to the toilet for defecation almost every day. I did not experience any stomach pain nor diarrhoea effect! And I can feel my complexion more radiant these days. Guess the dual-action formula in Green beauty helps, in the way of detoxifying my body and nourishing my skin at the same time. Happy me!

Besides making a beauty drink with AFC Green Beauty with hot/cold water, milk, honey or even soy milk, we can also use AFC Green Beauty to make delicious desserts - simply mix 1 sachet of green beauty with warm soy milk/milk to make a cup of Green Juice Latte, add green beauty into your yoghurt/vanilla ice cream for a healthy sweet treat, or try a simple yet refreshing crystal green jelly with this recipe:-

HAPICA Sonic Toothbrushes - Minus Ion, Periodontal Ultra And Pinpoint

HAPICA toothbrushes were launched in 1986 in Japan and became a huge hit due to its superior dental cleansing ability and high durability at an affordable price. 100% Japan made, the uncompromised quality from material, selection, design and construction of HAPICA sonic toothbrushes to HAPICA’s patented Hapi-Sonic™ technology earned international recognition and approval from various dental associations around the world.

So what is HAPICA’s Patented Hapi-Sonic™ technology about?

The Benefits of HAPICA Minus Ion Toothbrush:

Let us take a closer look at HAPICA toothbrushes.. There are 3 series- Minus Ion, Periodontal Ultra and Pinpoint.

  

Here is HAPICA Minus Ion in the packaging..

An Ultimate All - In-One Brush

• Superior plaque, tartar and stain removal
• Special-cut ceramic bristles reach gum pockets and protect teeth enamel
• Antibacterial brush head inhibits bacteria growth on bristles
• Water-resistant and highly durable

It does look like an electric toothbrush... BUT its battery-operated..

Very convenient.. just replace any AA battery when the battery is flat.

And the best part is we can interchange and replace the brush head easily...

It is my first time trying a toothbrush like HAPICA which combines 7,000 times ultrasonic vibrations per minute with precision tapping, clinically proven to perform better than sonic toothbrushes with 31,000 vibrations per minute.

I must say it is really fun to brush my teeth since I started using my HAPICA toothbrush.. The vibration is quite strong as I can feel it while holding, however there is no pain involved when I brush along my gum line..The soft, round-ended bristles are non-abrasive on my teeth and gums. My gums used to bleed easily when I brush my teeth using a nomal manual brush but now my gums do not bleed at all while I am brushing my teeth with HAPICA toothbrush. And the result is much cleaner teeth! It is as if I have had my teeth flossed while brushing my teeth.



Directions of use for Minus Ion (and also Periodontal Ultra):

See these 2 pictures I took before and after using HAPICA Minus Ion toothbrush..

This is really an amazing toothbrush that I will repurchase for the coming years. (And the good news is a HAPICA's replacement brush head cost around the same price as an Oral-B toothbrush!!) Very affordable plus its quality stuff!


See the other 2 type of brush heads

  

  

The brush head in the middle (green bristles) is called Periodontal Ultra.

It is Super Gentle, Ultra Compact with better reach..

• Intelligent special-cut bristles and small brush head effectively remove food particles and plaque along gum line, gum pockets and back teeth.
• Gentle on sensitive teeth and gum.
• Water-resistant and highly durable.

Personally I find that Periodontal Ultra is quite similar to Minus Ion, except that the latter has a bigger brush head. Due to the compact brush head, I find it easier to reach deep within oral cavities. The bristles are also much finer and softer than Minus Ion's bristles. This works just as great as Minus Ion! Periodontal Ultra is recommended for people with sensitive teeth.

Last but not least.. check out PinPoint...

It is the smallest bristle out of the 3 bristles, for Automatic Interdental Cleaning

• Recommended for braces wearers, teeth with interdental gaps, molars, bridges, crowns and implants
• Ultrasonic vibration cleanses more effectively than manual interdental brush/dental floss
• Water resistant and highly durable

Pinpoint is a highly resistant interdental superfine 0.7mm bristles with flexible nozzle that bends freely at all angles to access hard-to-reach areas effortlessly.  This brush is not for brushing our teeth but more to remove the finest particles that are trapped in hard-to-reach areas. Personally I find it a bit difficult to use as the space between my teeth is very tight. Think braces wearers will be able to appreciate this mini brush more than I do. The replacement brush heads come in pack of 6 for Pinpoint though!



Directions of use of pinpoint brush..

 

You just need to get one HAPICA's toothbrush ( body + a brush head) and you can just buy replacement brush heads for future use. HAPICA sonic toothbrushes and replacement brush heads packs are really reasonable priced! check out the prices below...

Kinohimitsu J'Pan BB Drink

Recently, I got to try out another Kinohimitsu drink..

So far, I had tried

• Kinohimitsu J'Pan D'Tox Juice (for detox)
• Kinohimitsu J'Pan Beauty Collagen Drink (for smoother and younger looking skin)

And this time round.. its Kinohimitsu J'Pan BB Drink that helps to restore skin's natural glow and radiance.

Kinohimitsu J'Pan BB Drink is a healthy and effective solution to nourish, hydrate and rejuvenate every single cell in your body by giving rich, healthful nutrients to promote a baby-like rosy complexion.

Benefits of regular consumption of Kinohimitsu J'Pan BB Drink:

The special ingredients used in Kinohimitsu J'Pan BB Drink

• Hydrolysed Bird’s Nest - promotes skin cell regeneration, enhance skin healing and promote youthful-looking skin.
• Chicken Cartilage (a source of hyaluronic acid) -  keeps skin hydrated. It helps to maintain the balance of water and oil in the skin, helping skin to look smoother and more hydrated.

• Fermented Yeast (a source of CoQ10) -   replenish the depleted CoQ10 level in our body where CoQ10 has the ability to increase collagen and elastin production in the skin and promote skin cell turnover.

• Acerola Cherry - contains 32 times greater amount of Vitamin C than in oranges. It also contains mineral salts (iron & calcium) that aid in the re-mineralisation of tired and stressed skin.

• Rice Bran Ceramide -  helps soothe acne and reduce skin inflammation.

The full ingredients list:

Directions of use:

One bottle a day preferably before breakfast or bedtime. Shake well before drinking.

First-time users: 1 bottle a day for 6 consecutive days.
For maintenance: 1 bottle every 3 days.

Price:
$39.90 (a box of 6x 50ml bottles)

So how does it work and taste like?

For my first bottle, I poured out the content into a small cup to see how the liquid look like.. A bit like our Teh-O colour, isnt?

While Kinohimitsu J'Pan Beauty Collagen Drink tasted like sweet lychee drink, I find Kinohimitsu J'Pan BB Drink tasted abit like Fruit Tree's apple juice. It is a nice drink I must say, it definitely do not taste anything like bird's nest drink but I can assure you that it tastes delicious!

I drank 1 bottle a day before I go to bed for 6 consecutive nights, and I do see a slight improvement on my skin. While my big pores and horrible-looking blemishes are still noticeable, I do notice that there is a healthy glow from within my skin, and my skin definitely feel much radiant. Loving the effect though!

I love Kinohimitsu beauty drinks series! They are all are so delicious!

A Pretty-looking sachet I must say...

Just 2 simple steps to prepare a cup of ChocoMarvel drink....

I was pretty curious to find out how ChocoMarvel drink will taste like, so after mixing the powder with hot water, snap a picture, I quickly took my first sip.. and it just remind me of Milo mixed with chinese medicine powder. ~ like those brown powder the aunt/uncle will mix into my chrysanthemum drink or liang teh to help cure my sore throat or bad cough. Not that awful actually as I can still taste the strong cocoa in my drink, plus I am someone who like to drink chinese medicine powder mixture when I am suffering from sore throat and coughs.

Chocomarvel did help me to relief my menstrual cramp.  Not as painful as before.(Normally I will take the bright pink Panadol Menstrual pills) I also felt less lethargic at the end of the day after I consumed my first cup of ChocoMarvel drink on my second day of menses.
