Loved the old formula....despise the new one

So the old formula was the greatest mascara I've ever used. I always buy 10-12 at a time when ordering online.
I did that recently and was surprised when the packaging looked different.
I took the mascara out of the box, took one look at the new wand and my heart literally sunk a bit. Butttttt, I gave it a try because I now had 12 of these randomly changed mascaras to go through.
Well, I hated it.
It was suuuuper wet and made all my eyelashes clump and look all spidery and sticky.
The formula is nice and dark and if you use another mascara wand with it, it is passable some of the time. But overall it is wayyyy too much work for sub-par results.
I now have 11 tubes to get rid of and 1 in the trash.
Hope they bring back the old (perfect) formula and wand.
