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 15:48h, 21 JanuaryWell I like Loreal Preference very much but wanted to try the Mousse..the color is not bad I used 41 and since I have dark hair the color worked for me, but the feel of my hair is not the same. I dislike the conditioner very much and I like the way my hair feels with Loreal Preference so I’m going back to using that. It didn’t hurt anything for me to give the mousse a try but not very impressed with it.

Posted at 04:35h, 28 JanuaryOk so here’s my experience with the sublime mousse… I bought #41 iced dark brown and after I bought it, I read reviews. Most of them were horrible. I decided to try it anyways, even though most of the reviews were bad. It was very easy to use. The smell was kind of strong, but not much different from other hair dye. It did not drip at all, and it covered my hair very easily. When I rinsed it, my hair did feel a little dry, but I have never found a dye that didn’t make it a little dry. I liked the conditioner, and the color also rinsed out very easily. I like the color. It made my hair have a slight red tint, and was a little darker than I thought, but overall I really liked this product. I don’t understand all of the negative reviews. To all Tue women who are complaining about it making their hair brittle, it sounds like most of you dye your hair frequently, and of course your hair is going to be dry. I haven’t colored my hair in a couple years, and I never flat iron, so my hair is very healthy. I also have medium/dark brown hair, so I can’t complain that it made my hair too dark. I like this product, and will use it again.

Posted at 16:20h, 01 FebruaryI tried it for the first time. It was easy, but my hair became like straw. The foam dried out after 10 mins.
It colored uneven. My hair so messy, I am embarrassed.
But, it was very easy. I will never use it again.

Posted at 18:54h, 01 FebruaryI just would like to comment after reading the reviews above. I had a bad experience with this hair dye. My head & face went numb and I called 911. I will never use this product again. I have dark brown hair, and I have always used Loreal do-it-yourself dyes. I have never had such a weird reaction in my life. Every box of dye is different. I have no idea why that happened to me, but lets face it, there’s some pretty toxic chemicals in ALL hair dyes that WORK. Ask or google that. Learn about the dye ingredients and see for yourself. If you don’t need to dye your hair really, don’t do it. It’s cancer causing. Check the facts. Or take your chances. Have you ever read the warnings on the back of the box? No one seems to care, but some people have really nasty reactions like hair falling out etc… GOOD LUCK!!!

Posted at 08:16h, 24 FebruaryWell I am surprised or even shocked with all the negative comments here. This is my second time of using this product and I love it..I am planning to buy more as they have it on sale at Target. I tried the #40 this time and it so perfect..I am 48 and have so much gray like 75% of my head…but this product is amazing..it covers every bit of my gray hair strand. I don’t experience any irritation or any hurt while applying it..I wish I tried it sooner…so easy to use…
