First Impressions: Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stains

I noticed a small stand in Superdrug yesterday with the new Revlon moisture stains and thought I would take some swatches (as you do!). The stand had most of the shades available, but I later found some more in Boots, but didn't have enough time to take all of them. However, I really wanted to see how long they lasted, as staying power is a big must for me.

5 minutes after application in Superdrug
 As you can see above, they are glossy stains, so they first look really nice, shiny but also pigmented (apart from the first clearish peach colour at the top).
After 15 minutes of rain
 It started raining... which I guess was ideal for the test! Most of the shine had gone and most had smudged slightly.
Back home- after ~ 45 minutes
 When I had reached home the sun was out and I could see most of the gloss had spread to the rest of my arm, but the stain was fairly clear, apart from the top peach colour which had disappeared completely.
1 hour after first application (and pretty much similar a few hours later)
Finally, the above shows what it looked like for the next few hours - a light stain.

So from this rough test these stains may not have the longevity I desire in a stain, but obviously this was tested on my arms so I'm hoping the product will fair better on the lips!
