Ingredients
How to use
Use the tip of the pencil to outline your lips and then fill them in. After outlining your lips with your preferred color, fill in with a lighter color to create a three-dimensional lip look. We recommend sharpening your lips after each use using a "Pencil Sharpener" (sold separately). <Caution> This is a pencil that requires sharpening. The entire surface of the pencil barrel is color coated, but once sharpened, the interior of the barrel turns dark gray. Depending on storage conditions, oil may occasionally seep onto the surface, causing the barrel or contents to appear wet, but this does not affect use. Please close the cap tightly after use. Do not store in direct sunlight or in high temperatures or humidity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this authentic?
Yes. Every item is bought from an official seller in Japan, or direct from the brand for pre-orders,
never from resellers or grey market stock. Counterfeits and grey market listings are a real problem in
Asian beauty online, and buying only through official channels is how we rule it out.
What are your shipping rates?
On orders under US$75, shipping is a flat US$20 to the United States and US$10 to all other countries.
Orders of US$75 or more ship free, applied automatically at checkout. Your exact shipping cost is shown before you pay.

Do you offer express shipping?
Yes. As of 22 July 2026, we offer International Express Mail through Japan Post. The cost is based on order weight and is calculated automatically at checkout.
Will I pay customs or import fees?
US orders: No. As of July 1, 2026, all US orders ship DDP (duties delivered prepaid), meaning we prepay all import duties on our end. Nothing is due at your door.
Orders outside the US: Possibly. Duties and import taxes are set by your local customs authority and are not collected at checkout, so any charges on delivery are your responsibility.
We're working on rolling out prepaid duties for more countries soon.
It comes off when you eat, but if you only drink, it lasts well. It lasts the same as the Power Matte Lipstick, but this one has a denser application and goes on smoothly with a light touch.
It's easy to apply smoothly.
It goes on smooth and feels good. It feels more like a lipstick than a lip liner. It's matte but doesn't dry out your lips.
It has a creamy matte finish and beautiful color. It's cute when smudged, and beautiful when applied firmly. It's a smooth and easy-to-use lip pencil. The color lasts very well, and the color hardly left any stains on the cup. It's not too sticky and matte, so it doesn't make the vertical lines on my lips stand out, and it doesn't dry out my lips too much. I think it's an excellent item. I was lucky to receive it as a gift from my friend ^. ^ I'm thinking of buying other colors too.
I bought a set of mini pencil and stick. The pencil is easy to apply and doesn't come off easily, so I like it. However, since it's a mini size, I'm worried that it will be difficult to sharpen it as I continue to use it. The stick is a light color, so I think it could also be used as a blush.
