I have used this product for decades and I am so sad you decided to change the formula. I went store to store for months buying up the old mascara formula and have now finally ran out. This is such a disappointment. The new formula makes my eyes tear and clumps the lashes together. This had never been the case in the past. My hope is your team will realize their error and bring back the old formula. Until then I am on to find a replacement..,

I’ve been a loyal user of your Voluminous Mascara for many years, particularly in the shade Blackest Black. However, I’ve noticed a change in the formula recently. Over the past three weeks, I’ve purchased the mascara three times, thinking that the formula in my previous bottles may have dried out. However, I am still experiencing the same issues: the mascara has become clumpy and is much more difficult to wash off. I’ve never encountered these problems with this product before and it’s been a staple in my routine for decades. I was always asked what mascara do you use or are your lashes real. Not anymore. Could you let me know if there has been any recent change to the formula? If so, bring back the original formula.

I’ve been wearing this mascara for 20+ years and it was always my favorite and my go-to. Recently it feels like the formula has changed. It smudges, flakes, and now it’s very difficult to wash off. I thought I made a mistake and bought the waterproof, but it’s the original. I liked how easy it used to wash off without makeup remover. Now even with makeup remover, it’s not completely gone. Very disappointing.

For the love of God, PLEASE bring back the old formula. This is absolutely now the WORST mascara. It is a clumpy Mess. I have bought this mascara for over a decade, and it WAS the best. This decision to change the formula is worse than those who changed Coca-Cola to New Coke in the 80s. You have to be hemorrhaging customers.

The formula change is awful. As other reviews noted, I first thought I had purchased a faulty tube as I’ve used this product for years with amazing consistency. Nope. New formula comes out of the tube gloopy, leaves clumps on lashes, doesn’t wash off easily with regular make up remover, a total disappointment!

This new 15x formula is horrible. Please bring back the 5x or 7x Original voluminous mascara. When I first learned those were discontinued I went everywhere and bought up all the old formuIa mascara I could find. Alas, I have used them up no si I have tried a few other L'Oreal mascaras and none of them comes close to what I used for many, many years. I agree with the other reviewers that this is not the same mascara, only "improved." I am tired of throwing away money on trying to find a mascara that works for me.

I’ve been getting this mascara for years and they changed the formula. The new one is essentially waterproof, not washable. Super disappointed. Feel a little tricked. They already have a waterproof mascara, why make the washable one also waterproof? When I try and wash this stuff off it’s nearly impossible. Always have makeup leftover on my eyes, even when I’ve done a couple of washes.

I have used the L’Oréal washable mascara for, at least, 20 years. I got asked what brand mascara I used. I have long lashes and the original worked well. However, the formula has changed. WHY?? I have bought 2…thinking the first one was a fluke. No, it wasn’t! It is very thick and comes out of the tube very clumpy! It is nothing like the original formula! It doesn’t come off easily with makeup remover…I actually thought I had bought the waterproof, but no! My eyelashes actually feel not soft, but stiff! I’m going to have to find a new mascara, I won’t continue to use this. I’m loyal to a brand, but not L’Oréal anymore!!

I have used the L’Oréal original wash off mascara for, at least, 20 years. I bought the new one, and it is NOT the same as the original. It comes out of the tube in big clumps and seems dry. It does not go on like the original. It doesn’t come off at night with makeup remover as the original did. There is still mascara there and my lashes feel stiff even after removing it, or trying to! I have long lashes and have always loved L’Oréal, I’ve bought 2 tubes of the new formula it thinking the first was just a fluke, but no. I do NOT like it at all.

As many previous reviewers have stated: 1. I have used this mascara for over 15 years. I’m not sure if the formula changed when the packaging changed, however, I will be throwing away the Package of three that I purchased, and trying to find a “Washable“; Non-flaking; Non-clumping mascara. The mascara does not come off with water, and even with eye makeup remover it is difficult to remove. The new mascara clumps and breaks off, I have actually lost some eyelash length. Why the formula needed to be altered, is beyond me. Unfortunately, after 15+ years, I will be researching and purchasing a new brand of mascara.

Dislike: the color. It doesn’t appear on the lashes green at all. It looks like a normal, black mascara. I tried looking at my lashes in direct sunlight and various lights around my house and it never even shimmered slightly green. It just looks black on your lashes. I’m happy it’s not some neon green, but I was hoping it was more like the simulated image on the packaging (which I didn’t notice it specified “shade simulated” on the photo until I had the product). Likes: It coats well and washes off easily. It does not seem to flake when wearing. At least I can wear it like normal, black mascara so it isn’t a waste.
