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 06:51h, 27 FebruaryI tried the sublime mousse, and thought wow it cant be true it is way to easy, Well it did not color my hair evenly and the gray is still showing with the price of it, i am very disapointed, now have to buy another product to fix the mess. I do not recommend it at all

Posted at 06:59h, 06 MarchI was excited about a no drip formula. Once I used it my hair felt very dry and brittle. The mousse pretty much dried up on my hair during the 30 minutes it needed to be left on and left me with a dull result and super damaged hair. I would not recommend this product!!

Posted at 23:14h, 06 MarchYes Danielle it will give you black hair. You are putting something very dark ( darkest brown ) on dark hair of course it will be darker…
Alot of people blame the product when they picked the wrong shade and a product that was not appropriate for their hair type. Choose your hair dye Properly instead of getting the new one.
I just did no.41 and the result is a very dark iced brown. Very nice, the model on the box is under a huge light and that’s why it look lighter. I know it will fade eventually like all the other hair dye, it is normal that it look darker the first few days don’t forget.

Posted at 05:17h, 09 MarchI used the Sublime Mousse for the first time today – my regular L’Oreal dark brown product was out of stock, so I thought I’d try it. I purchased the Dark Ice Brown.
I found the smell to be pleasant, which is nice. I had a really hard time telling what I had gotten covered and what wasn’t covered. It wasn’t messy.
The conditioner didn’t work as well as the conditioner in their other products. The tube was larger, which I like – but I found the color of the conditioner – a sort of yellow – off-putting. Normally, the conditioner will just let your fingers slide right through long hair – this didn’t.
Once my hair dried, I found I missed significantly. I’m dying to cover gray – and with dark hair, the missed spots show up clearly.
Overall, I’m not impressed.
Pros: Smells nice, not messy.
Cons: Poor coverage, weak conditioner.
I’ll be going back to my old L’Oreal box o’ brown next time.

Posted at 19:36h, 10 MarchI used L’Oreal’s sublime mousse today for the first time and am very unhappy. I have a significant amount of grey around my root line and need to color my hair regularly every 3 weeks. I was very excited to try this product as it seemed new and possibly easier to use.
Easier it was however, around my root line where the color hadn’t completely faded out from my last color, it turned my hair orange (I have medium/dark brown hair) and then left the remaining grey untouched.
I am a loyal user of L’Oreal products. I have always used their other hair color products and I have even started using their Everstrong shampoos and conditioners, all of which I love. So, it leaves me greatly disappointed to say that this one just didn’t work as advertised. Am now wondering how long I have to wait to re-color because as is, this is aweful.
