What it is
KATE Lip Monster is the lipstick you reach for when you want color that actually survives real life—coffee, meals, long commutes, everything. This Japanese long‑wear lipstick glides on with a creamy, comfortable texture that settles into a soft, moisturized finish instead of drying down flat. Each shade has its own personality: playful pinks, moody reds, deep berries, and muted tones for everyday wear. The color stays surprisingly fresh without constant touch‑ups, making it a favorite for busy days and nights out.

This is my first purchase. There are so many different colors to choose from, I couldn't decide which one to get, but I had just used up my pink lipstick, so I bought Mauve Shower, a pink with a strong blue undertone. In the end, I'm so glad I bought it! It's a bluish pink, but it's not too flashy and has just the right amount of color, and the subtle sparkle is cute. As expected, the color lasts well, and it seems to remain even after eating.
There are a wide variety of colors, and all the colors are cute! I have the impression that the popular colors are still sold out. Even after eating, the color didn't stain the cup and it remained beautiful throughout the meal! I was happy when my friends praised me for how cute it was. It doesn't dry out my lips, and it gives a nice shine, so it has become my favorite lip color.
I bought the new color, No. 19, but I thought it might be a little darker than I expected and difficult to use. When I wipe it off with tissue, it looks like mucus membrane, but the color doesn't last as long.

The first Lip Monster I bought was so long-lasting that I bought a second one. The plumpness is amazing.
