Lipsticks get me crazy. I never get enough of them and for the last few years, I think Maybelline has been doing an impressive job when it comes to lip products. I do not know what to say about their Colosensational glosses, which is a wonder product to my parched lips. They had also launched a lonstay lip color. But I think the 14 Hours Superstay Lipsticks are few of the products that should be continued for ever. The shade I have is Keep Me Coral.

Shade: Keep Me Coral is a beautiful perfect Coral shade. It is the right balance between orange and pink and looks lovely with the right kind of clothing. I wore it with my sepia colored Katki churidar to college and
I kept my makeup neutral. When I put it on, my face brightened up.
It the color that makes you wonder why it looks so bright and fresh even though, it is not one of those typical bright colors.

Texture: This is the most important part here because of it' 14 hour claim! Na, it is not like your regular moisturizing lipsticks. It looks like one, spreads evenly, but as it sets, it kind of sticks to the lips. Do not purse your lips before drying, else it may flake and look very uneven and unflattering and takes a few minutes to dry up complete;y.  I find this less drying than the other longstay lipcolors. That way, it does fare a lot better.

Staying power on the lips: To begin with, it is not completely transfer resistant ... not at least in the first half an hour of application. I had put it on and let about 10 minutes pass. As I took my tea later, I found that quite some of it has transferred. BUT, it would never leave your lips NAKED! However much it transfers from the top, your lips would never be bare no matter how much you eat or drink.
Now, the simple logic goes, if you are eating oily food, which you should not :P, it would melt off. But with regular food and drinks, there is no fear  :D

This is how the shade actually looks like.

What I liked:

1.  The color stays out for a long long time. I haven;t tried 14 hours, but it serves my purpose. Plus the bright and vibrant color stole my heart away! Since I am getting into the mood of heavy khol-rimmed eyes and lighter lips again, this would be something perfect for that regular wear but glamourous look!
2. The smell felt a bit strange at first, but I seemed to have started liking it. 
3. The body is of same color the the shade, hence easy to locate.
4. The wide range of colors is a positive pro!
5. The staying power is impressive. 
6. I think it would last me a long time.

What did not cut much:

1. Since the formula kind of sets on your lips, if you have dry lips stay away form this one. You can;t wear a balm underneath for obvious reasons. But one solution would be to moisturize your lips and wipe it off, before applying this lipstick.
2. It has shimmers which are not visible, but which has a brightening effect. Though I like the effect, shimmers kind of scare me.
3. 525 INR is a bit steep, but I am still eyeing the other shades!

Final words: It is a lipstick which would give a shade for every kitty of every skintone. No matter what mood you are in or where you go, be sure to find a shade for yourself!
It is a product that I actually feel my vanity might be incomplete without.
