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!
