Product format and verified naming
KATE's official Lip Monster page currently lists shades 03, 06, 07, 15 and 17 among its standard colour selection. The Shopify labels correspond to those shade numbers, although the store presents several names in English. This article retains the store wording so customers can match the options shown at checkout.
The Laka listing identifies its product as Jelling Nude Gloss and provides six numbered shade names. Because an exact current manufacturer page for this Shopify assortment was not confirmed during this review, the comparison does not add unverified capacity, undertone, finish, ingredient or wear claims for the Laka options.
Price and inventory snapshot
All five in-stock KATE options are ¥1,295, and all six Laka options are ¥1,530. The difference is ¥235 per item. The combined inventory is 110 units, with ten units recorded for every included shade.
KATE 02 Pink Banana and 05 Dark Fig appear in the Shopify product's option list but each has zero inventory. They are therefore excluded from the 11-option comparison and are not linked as available choices.
How the listings differ
The practical verified distinction is the product format stated in the names: KATE Lip Monster is listed as a lip-colour product, while Laka is explicitly listed as a gloss. They should not be considered equivalent formulas solely because both add colour to the lips.
No direct wear test was supplied. This article therefore does not rank longevity, transfer, shine, texture, comfort or colour payoff. Screen appearance also varies, so the option numbers and names are more reliable identifiers than a subjective description of the product images.
