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 13:57h, 31 JulyI have just used your Radiant Golden Blonde Sublime Mousse (83) on my light auburn hair as I wanted to lighten it. If anything it has made it slightly darker and browner and I am very disappointed. I wish I had never used it. I followed the instructions and left it the full 30 minutes so it’s nothing to do with my use of the product. I like the easy application of the mousse rather than the liquid but It just didn’t work and I would like to know what Loreal can do about it please.
Regards,

Posted at 18:53h, 10 AugustABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE, REVOLTING, PRODUCT
I used medium brown the same as my natural hair color and it turned my hair black in parts, very, very dark brown in other parts, left my medium brown roots untouched as well as gray untouched. I had multicolored hair, not a pretty look. Also it left my hair dull and lifeless, with absolutely no shine, my hair was in great condition until I used this product. Because of the 4 different colors on my hair I could not dye it myself so I had to go to the salon and spend $150 to have it corrected. I am so angry, I cannot afford this amount however, I cannot go around looking as though I have the worst dye job in the world. As for the condescending people suggesting that the user chose the wrong color or used it incorrectly, well if you don’t work for L’Oreal then you are just plain ignorant. I suggest you get on the web and read all of the reviews of this product, the main thing is it colors hair way too dark, at least 4 shades darker. Glad it worked for you, but for the majority of users it was a complete disaster. I called L’Oreal and they sent me a check for $30, so now I am only $120 out of pocket. Do not use if you like your hair.

Posted at 01:55h, 13 AugustI wish had read the reviews before purchasing this product. I recently started coloring my own hair, and decided to try the L’Oreal Sublime Mousse Haircolor after seeing an ad in a beauty magazine. I wish I hadn’t. The product failed in every regard. Did not color my hair at all. I have very dark brown hair/almost black and a little gray coming in so I tried the Pure Black. Not only did it not color my hair/cover my gray, it left my hair looking dry and dull. Definitely disappointed with this product and wish I could get my money back. I will never try this product again nor will I ever recommend this product to anyone. EVER!!

Posted at 19:30h, 13 AugustSo I bought this hair dye didn’t think to read any reviews…the application went great…the washout went great my hair didn’t feel dry or nasty and I absolutly loved the color.. However…. a week later i’m sitting here with about 3-4 inches of dark brown hair at my roots and a light brown to dark blonde hair for the remainder of my 5 inches.. Over all i think this product stinks i’m going to need to re-color my hair so i can fix this.. i’ve colored my hair a similiar color before and this seemed to just wash out of the bottom.. i will not use this product again..
