Hate new formula
Why did you change the formula? I’ve been using this for over 15 years and now I’m trying to find a replacement.Reply from L'Oreal Paris6 days agoHey Elle! Thank you for reaching out.

Used to love, hate the new curved brush
I used to absolutely love this product. I has been my go-to mascara for years. The last tube I bought, the wand has changed, and I hate it. I don’t know what prompted the change from a straight brush to curved, but it is the worst. Too much mascara stays on the brush and it now goes on in a clumpy mess. Please go back to the straight brush.Reply from L'Oreal Paris1 week agoHey RH COS! Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We completely understand how frustrating it is when a go-to product feels different, especially after relying on it for years. To help clear things up, we actually carry two different versions of this mascara to cater to different application preferences: one featuring the classic straight brush and one featuring the curved brush. It sounds like you may have accidentally picked up the curved-brush version this time around! Next time you shop, be sure to check the packaging details to make sure you grab the classic straight-brush formula you know and love. We truly appreciate your long-time loyalty and will be sure to share your feedback with our team! https://tinyurl.com/yg25u454Regards,consumer care center{{userCount} users found this review helpful.Originally posted on lorealparisusa.com - Lisa VanoReviewed 2 weeks ago
Leave a Good Thing Alone
I am 69 years old and have use Voluminous mascara as long as I can remember. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the last 2 or 3 I purchased until I noticed "24 Hour Wear" on the packaging. I don' t wear my make up for 24 hours. I don't need it to hold up that long. I wash my makeup off religiously every evening. The mascara is resistant to my usual removal methods whether with a wash cloth in the shower or make up remover at the sink. It fleks and flakes and ends up all over my face, in my eyebrows and hairline. I am so disappointed. You know the saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"? Try that logic how about.Reply from L'Oreal Paris2 weeks agoHello! Thank you so much for being a loyal fan of our Voluminous Mascara for all these years.

Allergic Reaction
I have us Voluminous curved brush mascara for over 20 years. Sadly I had to stop using it this June - each time I used the mascara my eyes would become irritated, itchy, watery and become extremely swollen. Initally I thought the reaction was due to an old tube, so I tried a new tube even different colors (black, brown and burgundy) all resulting in the same allergic reaction. I went makeup free during the summer to give my eyes a break and tried a new tube for the first day of school and ended the school day with red swollen eyes. I am so disappointed that I can no longer use Voluminous mascara.Reply from L'Oreal Paris3 weeks agoHi LaurenL! We are very sorry to hear about the experience you had.

Basically waterproof anymore
I’ve been using the voluminous mascara for close to 30 years. I recommend to everyone and always have… until recently It’s completely different! Starts burning my eyes mid day and ITS BASICALLY WATERPROOF now… if I wanted waterproof then I’d buy waterproof… I want the original voluminous mascara back! I’m shopping new mascaras for the first time in almost 30 years… WHY WOULD YOU CHANGE such a great product?Reply from L'Oreal2 months agoHi Holly, We are sorry to hear about the experience you had with Voluminous Original Washable Mascara and would like to speak with you directly.

An absolute beast to remove--you will lose lashes!
I was using this product religiously for awhile and now I've the past several months it has distinctly changed to wear it no longer washes off with warm soapy water...and barely responds to micellar water or makeup cleaner wipes designed for waterproof mascara! It has been a nightmare trying to get it off my lashes and I. The process I lost many of them which is heartbreaking and also a little engaging. I never buy waterproof mascara for this very reason...I end up with half the lashes I started with! You can't market this formula anymore as being washable! It's a lie and dangerous!Reply from L'Oreal2 months agoHello! We're sorry to hear about your experience with our Original Washable Bold Eye Mascara. We'd like to speak with you directly.

Huge disappointment.
I've used colored mascara for a few years now so I thought I'd try these 2 colors. What a disappointment! Not only are the colors not apparent on my lashes (still look black), the formula is highly irritating to my eyes, pretty clumpy and took 5 or 6 tries to fully remove, which caused further irritation. I should have read the reviews before purchasing. I expected better from L'oreal.Reply from L'Oreal2 months agoHello!

Poor
