Review: KORA Soothing Day & Night Cream

Miranda’s won me back on the KORA Organics train with her Soothing Day & Night Cream.

I wasn’t too fussed with the Rich Body Cream, which was the first product from her organic and beautifully branded (that aqua is just divine!) debut beauty range.

$59.95 for 60ml

The Day & Night Cream absorbs much faster than the body cream, which one was one of my gripes with it. Personally, I like a cream – whether face or body, to sink into my skin like it’s never heard of hydration. But that’s just me.

Like all of Miranda’s range, the cream smells amazing. I’m picking up hints of subtle lavender and sandalwood, but as I’ve mentioned before – I’m no scent master!

Immediately, my skin is butter soft and it dries to a satin-velvet type finish thanks to the hero ingredients of Noni, Chamomile, Evening Primrose Oil and Avocado. Kelp, Olive Oil and Lavender also rank highly on the impressive ingredients list.

While it would make a fab makeup base, I have found myself using this cream predominately at night, due to it’s super hydrating quality, and also the fact that it lacks SPF for day time wear and may be too heavy for my skin type during the day. Coupled with some SPF primer, it would make a great day cream for those with drier/senstitive skin.

Congrats M-Kerr, I can now say I am a KORA fan after a slightly shaky start.

KORA by Miranda Kerr Organic Rich Body Lotion

This Tiffany-blue baby came as a part of the PRIMPED VIP Goodie Bag and I’m glad it did. Not having the most extravagant beauty budget means my body moisturiser tends to come from the Nivea & Co price range.  Which is fine; they do the job well and there’s no complaints so far. But the opportunity to try a higher price range ($44.95) was welcomed with open palms. (Where do you squirt your cream?)

The Organic Rich Body Lotion’s label states ‘Organic Jojoba, Cocoa Butter, Sandalwood & Macadamia’ My first thought was ha! Jojoba!  There’s that tricky word no one told me you actually pronounce with a h. No, I jest. My first thought was ‘Well where’s that fancy Noni juice stuff she’s always bangin’ on about?’ A quick flip to the back for the ingredients lists confirms, ‘Aqueous extract’ of the noni berry and leaf. Good one, Kerr.

Who else wants to get their hands on some of that noni stuff if it has the promise of making ourselves resemble Miranda Kerr? I know I do.

A quick run down on the cream:

Impressive bits:

-Subtle yet really pleasant scent, which would come from the sandalwood.
-Totally non-greasy
-Lasting moisturised results
-Beautiful packaging

Less than impressive bits:

-Not for girls in a rush (which usually most of us are) as it takes probably a few strokes too many to rub in completely. I enjoy a more instant-ish absorbancy of creams.
-Due to the thickness and the time it takes to rub in, I would suggest keeping this cream to the winter months only, as it may be too heavy for summer.

Has anyone tried the KORA Organic Rich Body Lotion? Do you agree with me?
