MAC x The Blonds Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
DavidBlond
MAC DavidBlond The Blonds Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a medium pink with soft, warm undertones and a lightly pearlized finish. It had medium color coverage, which was somewhat buildable to semi-opaque coverage if desired, though it was a Lustre finish, so the sheerness was expected. The texture was lightweight, thin, and moderately emollient–it felt creamier than most Lustres, actually. The color applied fairly evenly but slid around a bit while worn. It wore well for three hours and was lightly hydrating to me.

PhillipeBlond
MAC PhillipeBlond The Blonds Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a medium-dark red with cool, blue undertones and a semi-matte finish. It was richly pigmented and had a smooth, lightly creamy texture that glided across my lips without dragging. The color went on evenly and stayed out of my lip lines, and it did not bleed or feather on me over time. It wore well for over six hours, left a faint stain behind, and was neither drying nor hydrating on me.

These look super nice, although these shades have been done to death by MAC. I still really like both. David Blonde being the most tempting of the two, because it is everything that Sunny Seoul has failed to be for me.
I love both and have dupes for both of them. Both are gorgeous!
Stunning shades, although I have a funny feeling that my son David wouldn’t be so keen to have a lipstick named after hime!
First, your look in the PhillipeBlond swatches (minus the cheek color – I’d go pale ) is exactly something i would do. Love it! 🙂
Second, the lip color PhillipeBlond is my jam, but I probably have a half-dozen reds just like it.
Ooo DavidBlond looks like it could be the perfect MLBB. I’m going to have to check it out in store.
Both are pretty shades, but basic enough I don’t need them. I think your eye look is sensational!
