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 01:04h, 06 JuneI used sublime mousse #60. I already had light brown hair, close to the color on the model, however my hair ended up a MUCH DARKER shade of brown– medium dark brown. Ordinarily that would be fine, but i didn’t want to go too dark right before summer.
Really disappointed with the color result, but it was an easy product to apply and my hair is in reasonable condition. I wish I had read the reviews of everyone else’s color results BEFORE I dyed my hair.

Posted at 18:50h, 09 Junei stripped my hair color last night due to color build up & it was extremely dark, I ended it off with orange hair…bright orange, so I bought the mouse pure light brown color today, I used it exactly as it instructed & it did NOTHING. No areas on my hair have been died at all.

Posted at 04:37h, 13 JuneOk, I read all the comments about this product when I already bought
It. I figured I’d give it a go anyways seeing so I’m blonde and I got the #83 Golden Blonde…. I was very wrong
1. Put the product on, very easy to use and apply, but the ‘foam’ did not last 2 sec on my hair before drying up on me, and I have pretty fine hair. I’m also 23 so no greys at third stage.
2. The box says to leave it on for 30min, after 5 min of applying the mousse I could see it changing colour, I thought wow! But when I looked carefully it was BROWN!!!!!!! On through box the models hair is blonde!! I quickly washed it out after being not even 10min my hair.
3. I washer it out with hydrating shampoo and conditioned with my own product. I was not about to use their conditioner after all of that.
4. After I dried my hair the colour was mixed between a brown and red. As you imagine my surprise, as I was bright blonde beforehand :'( my hair was very straw like and overall a bad experience. I love L’Oréals products, and will still buy from them, but definitely not this hair dye ever again.
Some peoples hair might come out great and others not… unfortunately I’m in the not column.
