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

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 - 15 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

L'Oreal voluminous mascara was my go to mascara for over 20+ years. But for the past year it's been awful:( I've been attempting to use their "new" formula and it's just awful… Why did you do this to us L'Oreal!?

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!

NLMMMMMM - 1 month ago
originally posted on lorealparisusa.com

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.

Zero stars. Do NOT buy. It clumps and stays in the lashes for days in end, clumping more with each passing day. It is impossible to remove even with Vaseline and hot water. It breaks the lashes and pulls them out. As a professional makeup artist, I used the Original Volumous 5x for decades on myself and on models in photoshoots for professional cosmetology trade magazines. The original 5x was the best mascara. I am so disappointed that L'Oreal changed the formula and made it beyond junk. I'm in search of a new comparable mascara. Zero stars. Do NOT buy.

Can't stand the new formula! Bring back the origional 5X mascara. This clumps and isn't anywhere near as good as the original. My lashes are still longer but not as full. It's harder to remove form my lashes as well. I'm on the hunt for a new mascara and not L'oreal voluminous 15X. I've used 5X mascara for years and always received compliments on my lashes. So sad you changed it.

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out to us about the Original Washable Bold Eye Mascara, we are sad to hear that you are getting clumps and having difficulty removing it. We recommend using our Eye Makeup Remover it is a fragrance-free, moisturizing formula gently removes waterproof and washable mascara and eye makeup in a cinch. We hope you try this.

New formula is terrible -- leaves lashes hard, brittle. Am now using Bare Minerals Lashtopia. Just like (maybe even better) than Original LOreal Voluminous. It's a shame L'Oreal messed with their Original winning formula. If it "ain't broke, don't fix it." Try Bare Minerals Lashtopia for replacement of our former favorite mascara.
