Happy Monday my friends!
Today I'm comparing two newly-released mascaras. Kush by Milk Makeup and Caution by Hourglass Cosmetics. If you would like to hear what I have to say in video format with a side-by-side on-the-eyes demo, scroll to the bottom of this post to watch my YouTube video on these products!

| Please ignore the beat-up packaging.. it just goes to show that I've actually had these in my makeup bag and purse for the past few months! |
I bought these mascaras fairly close to one another.. kind of.. (Kush on May 10th and Caution on August 24th) but at the time of their respective releases, they were each highly raved about online. I have never purchased a full-sized mid to high range mascara because I've never been unhappy with my drugstore Maybelline faves. I decided to give these both a go because of the hype and I feel that one of these were a waste of money while the other was not! See the below photos to try to guess which mascara matches with which response...
To further explain what's going on in the above photos, both mascaras are fine. They both lengthen and give body to the lash. The main differences are in 1. how much length they give, 2. clumpability and 3. depth of color.
1. Length -- The Hourglass Caution mascara ($29) gives my lashes a bit more length than the Milk Makeup Kush mascara ($24)
2. The Kush mascara clumps SIGNIFICANTLY more than the Caution mascara and is unable to get those clumps out.
3. The Caution mascara is a deeper black that stays true all day.
I much prefer the Hourglass Caution mascara because it applies beautifully and is never finicky, doesn't flake and stays a deep black all day. The packaging of the Hourglass mascara is sleek and pretty while the Kush mascara is heavy and clunky. The two mascaras are about the same amount of product (.34 oz Kush versus .33 oz Caution) with dissimilar price tags but if I had to choose one of these mascaras to repurchase, I would splurge the extra amount to buy the Hourglass for the formula.
I reviewed these mascaras side-by-side in a YouTube video, too! Check it out below:
I would love to know if you've tried one or both of these mascaras and what your opinion is on them! Mascara is such a personal choice-- I'm always interested in how one formula could work so well for one person and horribly for another. Let me know!
