This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Christine! Congrats!
When I was younger and single, I didn’t care much about the amount of money spent on hair, face, and body products. Most of my purchases were made at upscale department stores and salons. These days I don’t have the freedom to spend as much on beauty products…and I actually prefer to spend the excess money on my children.
Kroger, the nation’s largest traditional grocery retailer (in our area they go by Ralphs) recently launched a new beauty brand called mirra. mirra “combines quality, natural ingredients with proven scientific technologies” to meet 3 different needs: Routine personal care (Daily); a rejuvenating time out (Renew); and a quick transformations for a night out (Inspire). The line includes shampoos and conditioners; hair styling products; body washes and mists; facial and skin care lotions, cleansers and cleansing cloths; eye firming and age defying creams; and cosmetic brushes.
I’ve always been a label reader. I’m concerned about parabens and phthalates and artificial anything. mirra products are made with natural ingredients, like olive oil, aloe leaf juice, cranberry, bamboo, honey and chicory root extracts. I’ve tried numerous products deemed organic or all-natural. At times, I have found that they simply don’t work as well as salon or department store brands. mirra products were designed to be natural AND effective.
I had an opportunity to try several of the products including the Deep-Moisture Day Cream, Wrinkle Reduction Eye Cream, Protective Lotion, Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner, Strong Sculpting Gel, and Replenishing Body Wash. One of the first things I noticed about the products was their scent. For a natural line, they have quite a bit of scent, but it’s not overwhelming.
My favorite product is the Replenishing Body Wash. It’s luxurious and leaves my skin feeling hydrated. The Color Care line is gentle but effective. Some body washes and hair care products don’t foam well. I know that the product doesn’t have to lather to be effective, but I still like thinking it does. The shampoo and body wash lather well and leave my skin and hair feeling clean. I actually don’t have my hair colored right now so I can’t speak on it’s effectiveness with regards to color maintenance. The Color Care line contains sunflower and red tea extracts which provide UVA/UVB protection which is a must for anyone with color-treated hair. I typically don’t like day face creams because they’re oily and don’t allow me to wear makeup on top of them. Both the day and eye cream rub in relatively well without being overly greasy. The Day Cream was designed to smooth away wrinkles and hydrate skin for 24 hours. I actually don’t have visible wrinkles (yet) but I did find that my face didn’t feel as dry as it has been the last several weeks. The Eye Cream was designed to reduce wrinkles, hydrate, and firm skin. I tend to have dark circles under my eyes (it’s herediary) and while the Eye Cream didn’t elminate them, I felt they were less noticeable. Both Day and Eye creams should be used twice a day for two weeks to full realize results.
Have you ever visited a spa or department store, only to be shown a beauty regimen that would be impossible to replicate at home? mirra was designed to help women achieve their beauty goals effortlessly. I have two children, a husband, a part-time job, and a house to care for. Anything more than a 10 or 15 minute routine would be impossible for me to achieve. These products are quick and easy to use, and so far I’ve been happy with the results.
mirra products can be found in the beauty care aisles at all stores that are part of the Kroger Co. family. For a limited time, mirra is offering $5 off when you purchase any two mirra products. To download the coupon visit www.kroger.com\coupons.

Coming upon ‘mirra’ has turned out to be a Divine Click by means of random surfing the web this morning. On this mission in seeking more fitted prodcuts for the health of my skin, the information I’ve read here is not only captivating, but a blessing.
Wow this stuff sounds awesome, I would love to try the body wash seeing as I spend about 10 dollars on one bottle and its gone too quickly.
I hope you do a follow up to this later on.

I want to try the facial scrub.
I’d try one of their shampoos. I like the sounds of it – “Mirra products contain sunflower extract, soy protein, amino acids, and chicory root, along with other ingredients, to counteract the harsh effects of hard water and restore a healthy PH balance to your hair – allowing your hair to reach its full potential.”
Their protective lotion looks great.
Love the Mirra Shamoo,didnot realize It was a Kroger brand. Sure need the daycream,I am starting to wrinkle and need helllllllp.
