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 15:59h, 14 MarchAfter becoming increasingly bored with the colour I have stuck to over the past two years (Platinum Blone with Live Colour XXL), I was excited to try this product as it seemed to boast a new way of delivering fantastic colour with minimal fuss.
After reading all of the negative comments posted here however, I am now completely put off even giving this new product a test on any part of my hair. So many people cannot be wrong about the product, and I shall now be searching for a different shade in the Live XXL hair dye series – which I REALLY recommend to everyone here. I have used the XXL dye since I was a teenager and it has NEVER given me anything other than very positive results. The colour results are precisely what it shown on the box and the colour does not fade.
Thank you to all the women here who have taken the time to review the product and left warnings to those of us who have not used it yet – and won’t be now, thanks to you all!
Anastasia.

Posted at 17:09h, 19 MarchThis is by far the worst haircolor I have ever purchased. After applying the mousse it only took about 5 minutes for my roots to be completely dry and no sign of any color change. All this product did was lighten my ends. Majorly disappointed!!!

Posted at 09:36h, 20 MarchI used L’Oreal Sublime color on the 3d of March and now I am left with very damaged rough dry straw like hair. I am so upset because I have been growing my hair out for a long time now and feel I will need to cut all the dry damaged hair off to grow it out healthy. Not only did this color damage my hair but the color came out flat, dull and a weird purple tint to it. NOT HAPPY!!! I need to fix this but I am not sure what to do now for fear of making the problem worse. I will be calling L’Oreal to complain and demand they pay for salon services to correct this mess.
PLEASE do not use this color. I do not want this happening to anyone else.

Posted at 12:09h, 23 MarchBE CAREFUL! I used 41 and the color is DARK. It really looks BLACK! The foam is really nice and easy to use and for me left my hair feeling pretty nice and I thought it had no smell. I can’t stand even a few days of this Adams family look! I’ll be trying to lighten it up with color correcter. Probably won’t purchase ever again as the colors are just not anything like the box.

Posted at 18:21h, 23 MarchI tried it in 20. I naturally have dark brown hair but had all over blond highlights in it. My hair felt very damaged from the last color job and this actually improved the condition of my hair and I was happy with the end result. I would use it again.
