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.

I'm happy with the price, usability, and design! I have about five of them. I use them depending on my mood that day, but my favorite is number four. Stylish color.
I bought this because I wanted an orange lipstick. It's a bright orange and very cute! It was the first purchase I've been very happy with in a long time.
It's very good and doesn't fall off easily.
I'm a cool winter skin tone. Everyone around me was carrying it, and it was all the rage, so I thought I'd have one too, so I bought it. There aren't many lipsticks on the market right now that have deep pigmentation, which is a real challenge for me as a cool winter skin tone, but this one had a wide variety of colors, so it was fun to choose. I bought Last Boss, but I think a darker shade would have been better. It's quite sheer, and even when I rubbed it in heavily, it still wasn't enough. My friend had beautiful pigmentation with the same Last Boss, so I think it depends on your personal color. I like glossy, moisturized lipsticks, so this one is cute in that style. It's not that drying, but I'd like the moisturizing effect to last a little longer. I'm not really sure if the color lasts long enough to warrant the buzz. Maybe it's because I feel the pigmentation is a bit too light...? Canmake's Muchipuru Tint and CEZANNE's Lasting Lip Color N, which are cheaper than this one, last longer. There are so many other cute lipsticks out there, so I can't say for sure if I'd go out of my way to repurchase this one. However, if a color that suits me comes out in the future, I might be drawn to it and buy it again.
I've used up the Kagerou and other colors and am now buying various other colors. The new colors 18 and 19 are so cute. I really like the light pink-beige. This lipstick is thin and goes on smoothly. It doesn't smudge on cups or masks, so I'm glad I bought it. It doesn't peel and suits me well. I want to try collecting the other colors too.
