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 13:19h, 02 AprilLove it!! I’m a first time haircolourer. I always found it a bit daunting to have to colour my hair on my own but this seemed real easy.
As I was warned by mom, not to go too dark so I tried the 50 pure brown colour whilst my natural hair colour is a deep dark cool brown (sometimes looks almost black). On the box this one looked about 1 to 2 shades lighter than my natural colour, I figured I would be safe with that. Hoped that it would take though the retailer was a bit hesitant about it since I took a lighter colour.
Loved the way it applied. Yes it doesn’t foam as much as in the pictures but it is fairly easy to massage in and get down to your scalp. It doesn’t drip and doesn’t make a mess, that what I like.
Unexpectedly the colour turned out a warm reddish brown. I kinda like it but I was surprised. Wil try the chocolate brown next time I think, but I will use this product again.
I’ve got thick medium length hair and had to use all of it. Also used all of the balm right away. But it looks good feels great and was easy to use. Love it.

Posted at 16:04h, 07 Aprilso I’ve been hesitant about dying my hair. it had been about 6 years since I last dyed it and it was at a salon so I have no experience coloring my hair at home. so when I saw this sublime mousse I got excited about it especially that I got coupon of 3$ off from kroger plus card.
my natural hair color is light black with brown streaks so I didn’t want a dramatic change so I got the 56 Spicy Auburn brown. after reading all the bad reviews I wanted to make a test first so I dyed a small lock of hair from my hair extension (taken from my original hair) and it didn’t look bad at all. so eventually I had the courage to dye my whole hair. I have pretty thick and somehow long hair but one bottle was enough. it was super easy to use and no mess at all. and I’m so amazed with the color results it’s almost like the color on the box! it became darker black with shiny auburn streaks…I really like it but I’m not sure if I would recommend it since it looks differently on different ladies..oh and btw I don’t have gray hair so I can’t really tell if it’s true as they said “perfect gray coverage”
overall I liked it and I would give it 4 stars
