It is hard to wash off the lipstick probably after an hour, but I don't know who puts it on for an hour and then washes it off.

If I was going to be out somewhere for a long day in which I expected to eat 2-3 times as well as drink consistently, I’d probably still opt for the Maybelline just because I’m so used to them and how they feel on my lips even after 8+ hours of wear.

If you are looking for a little more shine, why not try adding a touch of lip gloss on top of the lipstick.

To be fair, there isn’t a huge difference between them, so I think it might come down to personal preference and how the formula performs on your lips, as a person’s body chemistry can make a big difference in how products perform for them compared to other people. The brand started out selling little wax-based foundation sticks designed to be used as stage makeup and bearing amusing names like Jealous or Lovesick.
