03 Feb Review: L’Oreal Paris Debuts New Sublime Mousse Healthy Look Haircolor
BREAKING NEWS: The hottest hair color trend of the season is Illuminata. See the technique and photos HERE!
In this era of instant gratification, we want Twitter-speed results. This surely, applies to your hair color, right?
It seems that L’Oreal Paris heard your cry and answered in the form of its latest hair-coloring offering: the new Sublime Mousse, which is no ordinary mousse or foam, but a truly sublime one.
(Dictionary definition of sublime for the classic nerd is: : “to elevate or exalt especially in dignity or honor”).
So, in other words, consider your hair coloring experience elevated. Knocked up a notch. The Sublime Mousse Healthy Look Haircolor is a lighter-than-ether airy mousse that is mess free and easy to apply as shampoo. Gray hairs are instantly covered.
How do you use it? You rotate the pump bottle to mix the formula,and dispense the foam into your hand and massage it into the hair like shampoo. There are 12 shades of permanent hair color in this collection, each as unique as you. At a recent event, we saw the model’s shiny, glossy locks and were impressed. This is truly one knockout mousse!
This retails at the beginning of March 2011 for $9.99 at mass retail and drugstores everywhere.

Posted at 21:13h, 05 Mayi just used the sublime mousse #70 pure dark blonde..my natural hair color. it was very easy to use, not messy at all. i do agree that it was kinda difficult to tell where the mousse was and was not.
my hair was like a platinum blonde, very highlighted, overly processed and very damaged…
result…….. very dark brown with red and orange highlights!!!!!
ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! like an auburn chestnut…not the best color for me!!!!!!!
i will say it DID leave my hair looking much healthier. i’ve actually received alot of compliments on it and it is a very nice color.. just not on me.
i called loreal to see if there was anything i could do and they were very helpful.. she explained why my hair came out so dark, which made sense..but said she wasn’t sure why it would possibly be reddish.. me either!! anyways she told me it will fade out with the use of a cheap shampoo and once my highlights came back through they are going to give me a filler ( toner ) to correct the tones in my hair !!!!!!!!!!
plus they are sending me coupons for the money i spent on the hair color.. only because i didn’t have any of the packaging anymore.
overall, very displeased with the color result..
very happy with l’oreal!!
L’oreal you ROCK!!!!

Very easy to apply is the only positive. If you have
Grey roots beware. My hair came out dark brown as
the box boasted, however my solid grey roots were
bright red! Now I have to recolor my poor dry curly locks.
Very dissapointed!

Posted at 08:50h, 22 MayI’ve tried this product twice now and both times disappointed.
Very easy to apply their applicatior if way better than the other similar product on the market, but the grey coverage is very poor. I thought I may have applied it badly the first time but my hair is a lot shorter this time and I liberrally aplied the foam massaged it in as they say left it on the time they say and yet 2 days after this I can still clearly see my grey hairs!!!! It also seems to really dry out the hair and the conditioner that comes with it is very very fragrant and I must say I really don’t like the smell.
Would NOT buy this again and WON’T recommend
