It's incredibly hard to choose a winner between these two: YSL is so densely pigmented and BRIGHT, it's perfect for night wear, whereas the DB lipstick is more subdued making it perfect for day! I guess it comes down to personal choice and what you're going to be wearing that day.
YSL had the better formula of the two, and longer lasting power (you'd expect it to be better if you're paying $40 for it). However, for a $7 lipstick, Designer Brands have done a fantastic job!

I have a couple of DB lipsticks, they're really good! I prefer the colour of the YSL here though.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sitting on the fence I promise, I think you wear both of these well! I've often looked at buying the DB lippies so I might consider one next time.
ReplyDeleteThe YSL one is the winner for me. It literally lights up your face
ReplyDeleteI prefer the YSL one on you, but both are pretty! I agree with Gaelle though, it really does light up your face! :)
