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. Styling products provide moisture, shine, and hold.*

Mirra Renew skincare products feature exfoliating cleanser and assorted creams to hydrate, reduce appearance of wrinkles, accelerate skin renewal, firm and lift with ingredients such as aloe, green tea, pro-vitamin A, and apricot seeds.*

~They also carry a line of makeup brushes and body products. I did not get to review any of them but I hope to try them soon.~

Mirra Daily makeup brushes are made from quality natural hair and synthetic fibers for flawless application of color cosmetics.

In body care, mirra Renew offers Bamboo & Honey, Lemongrass & Ginger, Black Tea & Cracked Pepper, and Japanese Yuzu fragrances in foaming bath, body wash, body lotion, and body mist products for customers to layer as they nourish, strengthen, moisturize, and soothe their skin.

What Women Want

Nature and science, no hassle beauty care

Cincinnati, OH – What do women want? According to recent survey results, women believe beauty products made with both natural ingredients and proven scientific technologies work best – and that’s what new beauty brand, mirra™ provides.

In addition to its own consumer research, mirra recently conducted an online survey of over 500 women asking a variety of questions about beauty care products and regimens. Here’s what women said:

· 77 percent said products that have both natural ingredients and proven technologies, work best. Only nine percent said products with all natural ingredients, alone, were best; and 14 percent said the same of science only products.

· 71 percent chose “Take 10” as the best description of their beauty style and routine. They said they don’t have a lot of time and don’t spend a lot of time on their beauty routine – 10 minutes at most. Other options included “soak and savor,” “60 minutes,” and “beat the clock.”

· Their description of a “bad hair day” was evenly split between “flat” (37 percent) and “frizzy” (35 percent). (15 percent said fly-away; 13 percent said oily).

Launching now, mirra products include 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.

mirra products are made with natural ingredients, such as olive oil, aloe leaf juice, and cranberry, bamboo, honey and chicory root extracts. Proven technologies are used for many of the products too. For example, the revolutionary oleosome emulsion technology is used in skin care products to deliver long lasting moisture that keeps protecting and nourishing skin long after application.

mirra products can be found in the beauty care aisles exclusively 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.

Why mirra

“Women tell us they want products that enhance who they are and their natural beauty. They don’t want to disguise or cover up their true selves,” said Linda Severin, Vice President of Corporate Brands for The Kroger Co. mirra uses the best of nature and science to provide women a beauty regimen that is both easy and effective.”

A Closer Look at mirra

The natural and scientific ingredients in mirra products are tested for effectiveness. For example, in mirra’s micro-remodeling cream, aloe and green tea team up with MATRIXL 3000 to reduce wrinkles, provide skin firmness, to sooth and deliver antioxidant properties. A study of MATRIXL 3000 was shown, in just two months, to significantly reduce wrinkle depth and skin roughness and improve skin tone.

*The online survey was conducted by the Consumer Research Department at The Kroger Co. in October 2009 among 502 women between the ages of 35 and 54.

Here is a picture of the products that I have received and been using



Mirra Daily Shampoos and Conditioners

I am going to start with the Smoothing Shampoo... 2 words.. LOVE IT!!! The smell is so refreshing. I was a little skeptical about the shampoo at first, it is a clear thick gel..... put a lot in my hand, I was sure it was not going to get foamy. BOY was I wrong! A little goes a long way. It lathered into foam really easily.

Smoothing Conditioner is nice and creamy , it is not too thick or thin. I had to use a little more than the usual amount.It leaves my hair shiny and smooth. 2 words once again....LOVE IT!!

The gel... well most of you know I do not fix my hair, it is just straight has no style to it. So I did not try the gel on myself, but I did try it on JMan. He usually is not into spiking his hair anymore but when he smelled it he wanted to use it. It stayed spiked and even after his nap we added a little water and POOF, we re-spiked it and did not have to use more.. it is not a thick gooey gel. I really liked how light it is!

Mirra Renew skincare products

Renew Exfoliating & Detoxifying Cleanser

Is a creamy cleanser. I have never used a cream cleaner until now. It has apricot and oxygenated derma-beads in the cleanser so it feels like you get a good exfoliation. ( but it has a very smooth exfoliation, not rough at all.)

The Renew eye cream

It is very light and non irritating. Most eye creams seem to bother my eyes and make them water. This did not bother me at all and I have noticed smoother skin around my eyes.

Renew Micro-Remodeling Cream

This face cream is a thicker face cream, I have only used very light face cream so it is taking a little getting use
too. If you like a thicker face cream you will LOVE it! it has a very light fresh scent. It Firms, Smooths and Restores your skin to a younger state. This cream works at a intracellular level.

Hydrating Night Treatment

Once again the night cream is a thicker cream. This night cream hydrates the skin cells, firms and smooths the skin. When you apply it, it seems greasy but once it soaks in there is no greasy feel left to it. It has a very nice light relaxing scent to it.

I have really enjoyed trying theses products out. I have seen a difference in my hair and skin. It looks healthier and hydrated. I really like that the Mirra line has
natural and scientific ingredients . I really think that you will like their products too!
