Now before I get started let me tell you this post includes a review, and links to a $5 coupon and our giveaway!

What is it women want in their beauty products and what works best? According to one survey*,  women believe that beauty product with both natural and proven scientific technologies work best. A mixture of both worlds if you will.   That’s what beauty brand, mirra provides.

I am one of those moms who want the natural elements in my hair, face and body care but I also want products that are effective and that in my opinion takes some scientific study.  So, when I was given the change to test out mirra products which are made with natural ingredients as well as scientific technologies I agreed.

The Products and Review: mirra RENEW Micro-Remodeling Cream, Wrinkle Reduction Eye Creme, Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner, Protective Body Lotion & Body Wash and Exfoliating & Detoxifying Cleanser

mirra products are made with natural ingredients, such as olive oil, aloe leaf juice, cranberry, bamboo, honey and chicory root extracts. mirra products also use proven technologies – 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.  I could certainly tell. 

My face felt great from the time I put it on till the time I washed my face at night and even then it  felt silky soft when rinsing it with water. I tend to have dry skin and with these products, I’ve noticed that my facial skin isn’t dry anymore (surprising to me considering the cold weather).

I really like the way the Micro-Remodeling Cream and Wrinkle Reduction Eye Cream make my face feel – both soft to the touch yet firming. It’s hard to explain, you’ll have to try it and then you will understand.

The Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner: the shampoo did a really good job of getting the daily hair products out of my hair and the conditioner really helped my dry, brittle hair. My hair actually didn’t frizz like it usually does and it’s soft to the touch which I love. It also has been great not only because it’s helping my color treated hair but my hair color seems to be staying long than usual. 

The Protective Body Lotion: had a mild scent and was thin but not runny which I like but it left me feeling just a tad bit sticky which I wasn’t fond of even though the feeling didn’t last long.

The Protective Body Wash: has a wonderful, invigorating scent yet is not overpowering. It left my body feeling soft and silky and isn’t that what we all want?

The Exfoliating & Detoxifying Cleanser: I really liked not only the way it cleaned my face with it’s oxygenated derma-beads (which by the way were rough enough to clean but gentle enough that it didn’t irritate my skin) but I also liked how soft it made my face.
