Affordable can still be good. Expensive and drugstore brands are usually owned by the same company like Loreal owning Lancome too.
Yeah, the only issue with tubing mascaras is you do need to use warm water to remove; in other words, oil or remover alone won’t take them off.
I haven’t worn mascara for three days, however I wear eye shadow but my eyes are still irritated. They were irritated even when I wasn’t using anything. Could it be the weather (but it wasn’t like that 3 weeks ago)? Could it be lasting irritation from the mascara? Could it be the tea tree oil I put in my avocado oil I use to clean my makeup? Could it be that I use vinegar to clean and it stings my eyes even after I’ve gone out of the room? Looks like for no reason my eyes start tearing while I’m outside. At least without mascara it doesn’t feel that bad.
Any of the things you mentioned could irritate your eyes. You said something about wearing eye shadow as well. Could that be the cause of the irritation? Try going with out that for a few days.
I tried one day and the same thing happened but I didn’t have a problem with this particular eye shadow before.
Try checking with a dermatologist or ophthalmologist. I wonder if you could have dry eye or (although rare) ocular rosacea, or something else that is making your eyes more sensitive.
Also be extra careful about getting product near the corners of your eyes where it can get into your eye.
Maybe I will try Maybelinne, now I got back to my old mascara, Nature republic (Korean brand), and it’s OK so far.
You use vinegar to clean around your home? I hope I’m understanding that correctly. With any household cleaning products (natural or otherwise) make sure you’ve thoroughly washed your hands. The residuals could bother you if you accidentally touch your eyes. Additionally I would definitely worry about your tea tree oil avocado oil brush cleaning mixture. Tea tree oil is an irritant and if you’re not rinsing the oil mixture off the avocado oil might be making it stick to your brush hairs rather than evaporating. Correct me if I’m wrong Brains, but all fragrant/aromatic/volatile oils such as tea tree oils eventually evaporate whereas fatty oils such as avocado help prevent evaporation of more volatile chemical compounds such as water and fragrance.
I do know that mixing my fragrance with oil makes it last all the day long
I only use vinegar to clean mold, it smells bad but not as bad as bleach. I use tea tree oil because it helps with acne but maybe I shouldn’t use this mixture around my eyes. But I use it in the evening and apply makeup in the morning so I’m not sure. My eyes are too sensitive
However, this irritating mascara is not to be used or purchased again. 
I will try Maybelinne. I would definitely avoid using the mixture around your eyes. It’s most likely not contributing to your next day irritation but it can’t be good either.
As for the vinegar, use it if that works, but it is quite a potent chemical and could irritate your eyes if you accidentally touch them.Nor ACV if you have a pimple around there, no matter how often the acne forums contributors tell you to!
