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 21:03h, 20 AprilThe product was very easy to use and it didn’t dye my skin. I got the color pure light brown to dye my medium brown hair slightly lighter. Turns out I actually dyed it darker! I knew foam colors tend to go a little darker, but I guess I didn’t quite realize how much. The end color is really pretty, it just isn’t what I was going for. I would not get this product again, just because you never know what color you’ll end up with!

Posted at 19:36h, 21 AprilToday I used the sublime foam. I liked the easy application, gloves and odor. Waiting 30 minutes is the longest of any other hair product I’ve used. I have sprinkles of grey in my hair, with a circle of grey at the side of my forehead.
After washing, rinsing and drying, I have to give this a big fat zero. I can clearly see the line of new growth, it is a different color from the older hair, like I didn’t color at all. The grey hair is still grey. The older hair is orangey. The conditioner is a lower quality than their normal product, my hair still feels stiff, and like other reviewers, I used more trying to get a slick feeling before I rinsed.
I will tell my friends not to buy this product, and if there was a way to get my money back, I would.

Posted at 04:20h, 22 AprilI’m surprised at the bad reviews, so I am posting this here and on other review sites. I have used this product 2 times, tonight being the second time. I have tried MANY different products and this is the ONLY one that has not destroyed my naturally wavy/tends to be on the dry side hair. I’m a dark ashy/mousy blond naturally and used shade 70 pure dark blond and am very very happy. Doesn’t smell awful, doesn’t drip all over, doesn’t dye my skin, looks au natural, very easy to apply, very easy to rinse out, left my hair shiny and healthy, and doesn’t look fake. I like this hair product. I’m not sure why so many bad reviews….I think maybe it depends on your hair type and how extreme you are trying to go, but I give this one 2 thumbs up.

Posted at 19:49h, 22 AprilThis product may have some very good qualities, and the ease of application if great. BUT IT DOESN’T EVEN TOUCH THE GRAY! I’ve tried two different shades and I’m done.

Posted at 00:03h, 24 AprilExtremely disappointed. I usually love L’Oreal products but not this one. This stuff was basically to cover gray I have in the front of my hair, I was happy with my natural color so I bought the closest to my shade which was light brown. It made my hair like straw for starters, turned it a hideous dark, deep reddish brown, nothing like the package or any natural hair color I have ever seen. Who cares about easy when you feel like a circus clown!
