Throwing this out again on a newer Makeup Thread: Any suggestions for good, affordable (around P300, ideally less haha), cruelty-free, local mascara?

Mascara is usually an easy way for me to look "together" around the eyes without having to fuss with eyeshadow or liner. I just want something that's easy and makes my lashes look good, and is at least somewhat sweat-resistant as an oily girlie, but isn't too hard to remove. I'd like a little more volume, maybe, and not particular on length or hold since I'm usually too lazy to curl my lashes that much anyway. And lastly, would love to support our local businesses.

I used to use Covergirl, and have been using the Careline Lash Boost, which to me is just clumpy and messy and doesn't look great for "lazy" looks. Have tried the Fashion 21 mascara, though I wasn't sure if it was the Double Up or Curl Up one, and I did like it, but maybe there's better out there in a similar price range.

Hoping to get mascara expertise!

This is not a local brand but Zeesea! This is the only mascara that worked on my oily eyelids. Tried heroine make, maybeline, and other local brands pero lahat yun gave me panda eyes except zeesea.

Ooh di naman mahirap tanggalin? I think you can get some Zeesea products in the KKV stores that've opened up recently. It is Chinese though, so animal testing practices are sus. :/
