I have been using this product for 20+ years. Now it’s absolutely terrible. Not much in the tube and feels dried out. It also flakes off everywhere now. It used to glide on and lashes stayed in place. Now it flakes off in my eyes and lashes are flimsy so I’ve switched to a different brand. Voluminous blackest black used to be the best. I’m so disappointed you changed the formula.

Used to be my holy grail product until the recent formula change on the non-waterproof kind. The new formula smudges, is difficult to remove, and really irritates my eyes and makes them tear up... things that NEVER happened with the old version. Hate to say but I will not be purchasing again. Throwing this tube out. Bring back the original verson!

I was so excited to use this mascara again since it used to be my daily driver. When I applied it, it went on so smoothly and I was so excited for how it made my lashes look. Within 20 minutes I started feeling the burning and itching sensation. I thought I had allergies, so didn’t think to take it off or that it had anything to do with the mascara. When I took it off at the end of the day, the mascara had gotten in my eyes, making the rash and itch even worse. I woke up the next day with my eyes almost sealed shut from the swelling and the itching was so bad. My eye lids were so swollen as well as my under eyes even down to my cheeks and nose. It has been an incredibly uncomfortable 48 hours since I applied the mascara. I finally made the connection that the only new thing in my routine was this mascara so it was 100% sure it was an allergic reaction to this mascara. Based on several reviews/forums online, it sounds like it’s a common occurrence.

This mascara is awful. I've used this in the past, but it's not even close to the same (new formula?). It was clumpy, dry, and made my eyelashes very brittle and break. I thought maybe I bought one that was old, but I looked up reviews and my experience seems to be the consensus.

You claim it's the same original formula, however, the last two batches that I've gotten are a 1000% different and have fibers. It is a shame because your formula was incredible for so many years, did not need the fibers, I don't see a positive difference with the fibers just annoyance on removal and sometimes I just don't want the fibers on my lashes. So no benefit of adding them. please go back to the old formula or revise your marketing accordingly, as it's not the same original formula

Hi there! We appreciate you taking the time to reach out about our Voluminous Waterproof Mascara. It is possible minor changes were made to the product formula; however, the performance should meet or exceed previous results and may not be noticeable. There are different reasons why a formula might be changed; availability of ingredients, changing industry requirements, and product improvements are common examples. The ingredients listed on the physical product are always accurate listing. We hope this helps!

Very disappointed with the new formula. I have been using this mascara for 20 years, it was perfect. The new formula leaves clumps upon clumps, it’s sticky, difficult to remove, and leaves eyes itchy and burning. Please bring back the old formula!

My favorite blue mascara by far, and I’ve gone through a few. This brand and version in general is so good. It’s the only one that doesn’t really flake and holds well for my straight eyelashes. I also like that it removes easily in water.

This mascara starts out good but after a few months the applicator gets chunky and glopped together! The overall mascara is cute, but doesn't come off when i wash my face (it's not the waterproof mascara). I wouldn't waste your money
1 reply from L'OrealParisProductExpert team - 29 days ago
Hello Meh! We appreciate your feedback on the L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Mascara. While you initially enjoyed its performance, the applicator becoming chunky and the mascara's difficulty in removal are understandable concerns. Mascara wands can become clumpy over time due to product buildup. Regularly wiping the wand on a tissue before and after each use can help prevent this. Regarding removal, while this isn't the waterproof version, some mascaras, even washable ones, can be more resistant to removal than others. Using an oil-based makeup remover specifically designed for eye makeup is often more effective than standard cleansers for removing stubborn mascara. If these issues persist, exploring other L'Oréal mascaras or options from different brands might be worthwhile.
Very subtle color

I don't mind the formula. My lashes look pretty nice but it takes lots of brushing to coat them well. I've tried burgundy and cobalt blue, and they don't show up super well. Blue is pictured in the review

It's my all time favorite mascara. No clumping, and use it with the primer for long lasting, natural curling lashes that are full and long. Internet mascaras are like $45, and this is much better at a fraction of the cost.
Awful!

New formula is horrible. Used for many years because I want to be able to wash it off easily without losing eyelashes. Hate the clumping also. I’ve returned it and will not use it again. Should have kept the 5x we all loved. Why fix what isn’t broken?

New formulation is not good!

I have used this for over 10 years and this product was amazing. Now, there clearly is a new formulation: the tube displays a gold band around it, the mascara itself is "stickier" and can much easily remove your eye lashes when taking this off. The old formulation (non waterproof) easily came off in water, which was helpful for removal. Now, the new non-waterproof formulation is very stick and hard to remove. Additionally, my eye lids, skin around my eyes, face, have become red, itchy, & inflamed due to the new formulation.
