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 21:47h, 29 MayWhat a horrible product! I liked the ease of application, but that is where it ends. It dripped constantly. Nothing like having to keep the gloves on the entire time you color so you can agitate the “mousse”!
The worst is the actual color. I used #62 and it’s as dark as #30! I know it’ll fade as all hair color does but I just can’t believe how dark and lifeless my color is—not even close to what is on the model on the box. I have healthy hair–not dry or damaged. I do have some grays and it covered them well, but like most gray hair the color is resisent so I expect they’ll really be standing out in my dark locks.
My hair texture is okay but I totally concur with the comments about the conditioner. My hair was super soft after coloring which was a surprise, but once I used the condidtioner, it got coarser-—not soft and silky like hair should be after using a conditioner. Not sure why that is. Also, I agree that the color of the conditioner is off putting—not the pure white demoed in their video but quite yellow.
This is a DO NOT BUY. I’ll stick to Perfect 10. It’s quick and true to the color on the box.

Posted at 18:44h, 02 JuneI bought 2 bottles of #60 BEFORE I read the reviews on here. I have hair a few inches hanging below my shoulders so I knew I would need 2 boxes as I always do. I actually had about 1/3 of one bottle left over. I was surprised at that because usually it takes all of 2 bottles for other kinds that are not foam. ANYHOW…… I was about 15 minutes into it being on my hair and then read these reviews and immediately went and washed it out because of all the negatives on here. I actually wish I would have left it on the full 30 min. because my grays did not disappear! The color was pretty much right on though. (i went from a darker brown to this #60). The foam covered my hair excellently. I did notice when I was rinsing it out it was difficult to rinse, kept tangling up on me more so than other kinds I have used. The conditioner I thought was ok, but doesnt compare to my RUSK conditioner. I am overall pretty satisfied, and next time I will leave on the full 30+ minutes and see if it wipes the grays out.

Posted at 08:32h, 05 JuneDO NOT USE!
Like the others said, my hair is now dry, and coppery orange!
I used #53, and I definitely picked the right colour for my base hair type…..
This product is rubbish!
