Maybelline Super Stay 14 Hour Lipstick in Never Ending Nude Review & Swatches

One of my readers, Katrina emailed a few weeks ago, and asked if I would post a review of Maybelline's new Super Stay 14 Hour Lipstick, so I made sure to put it on the short list of things to review when I got back from vacation. (Thanks for the request, Katrina!)
 The other day, I headed out to CVS and looked over the colors. Now, I'm definitely a fan of subtle shades, and these were all really bold for the most part.  I finally settled on Never Ending Nude, which was a nude with a hint of pink, and a little bit of sparkle in it.

Maybelline's website says:

14HR Lipstick with an ultra-lightweight formula:
• Stays fresh, light, and comfortable
• Super rich color that lasts for 14 hours
• Pigments are enveloped in a longwearing system
• 20 long wearing shades 

I've never tried a lipstick yet that lasts 14 hours, so I wasn't expecting this to.  But I wanted to see realistically how long it would stick around.  I applied it after lunch around 1pm.  

Here's my before and after: 

Before:

 After:

 This lipstick felt moisturizing and had a satin finish upon first application.  It was really pigmented, which I guess is why most of the colors are so bold and dramatic.  I really loved this shade- it was a "my lips but better" color that looked natural.
So the big question is, how long did it last?
Here's what it looked like at 5:30 when I left work:

There was definitely some pigment left on my lips, but the shine was gone, along with some of the moisture.  My lips felt drier and a tad sticky by this point.  I'm thinking maybe the darker colors will leave more of a stain.  Overall, I would say that this lasts longer than most lipsticks and is less drying than a stain.  But for someone like me, with dry skin/lips, I'll probably stick with gloss and balms most of the time, although I would definitely use this if I were going to an event and needed longer staying power.  I might layer a gloss over it for a little more shine.
Have you tried these?  What did you think?
