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 17:42h, 15 FebruaryI’ve just spoken to L’Oreal – they’ve said that if you mix 1/2 tsp of the colourant with 1/2 tsp of the developer you can do a strand test (why they don’t put that in the instructions I have no idea). I have just bought the Sublime Mousse in 70, but after reading these comments I want to try it out before I do the whole head. I’ve used the John Frieda mousse dye – application was so easy but that came out completely the wrong colour – so much so that they had to pay for my hair to be fixed at a salon. Fingers crossed this does not happen again…

Posted at 14:32h, 16 FebruaryJust spoke to Terry at L’oreal as l had sent in the contents of their product after the disappointing colour reasult
Terry advised me my now red/brown hair was the correct colour of sublime mouse 83 as the colour of my hair before dying was extreemly light. The test carried out by L’oreal was to place the sample of hair l had sent in arcoss the shade indicator on the packaging as in their opinion ii matched and my hair is golden blond, when l suggested that the colour indicator was wrong this was dismissed.
Very unhappy. If you like very dark hair this is the product for you,
if any way shape or form you required any shade of blond DO NOT USE.
You can contact Terry on 020 8762 4000 she will be happy to take your call and advise on any concerns you may have

Posted at 14:36h, 23 FebruaryI used it & was very disappointed w/ the product. When I applied the foam & massaged it, I could hardly see any foam… and within 5min there was no foam on my hair. I tried again n again massaged it but nothing… I was worried if it would color my hair or not.
It did color some portions of my hair.. in the front portion where most of my gray hair is.. was as it is… GRAY. Will not use this product again.

Posted at 17:29h, 23 Februaryhi, i have just purchased the sublime mousse in pure darkest brown no 30 and am really scared about using it! i previously bleached by hair from its natural colour- ( a dull brown) to blonde and it took me ages to grow it out when i had enough of it.My hair is now all natural which i’m happy with but i wish it was a little darker and looked more shiny and healthy but i dont want my hair to go black because then i really would shave my head off! If anyone has used it with brown hair, did it go the colour you wanted or too dark?
thanks:)
