Kate Lip Monster Crystal Pod

Kate Lip Monster Crystal Pod is a glossy liquid lipstick that delivers “moisture × translucent color” with a fresh, crystal-like shine that lasts. Using KATE’s proprietary color-retaining technology, the formula helps color and glow stay on the lips for hours while keeping a comfortable, hydrated feel. 

What makes Crystal Pod special is its moisture-to-gel concept: it utilizes water evaporating from your lips and transforms it into a clear, glossy gel film—creating a smooth, plump-looking finish without feeling heavy. The diagonally cut applicator tip hugs the lip line for easy, even application and a “puffy lip” effect.

If you love the Lip Monster family for its staying power, Crystal Pod is the more dewy, translucent direction—ideal for daily wear, “glass lip” looks, and effortless layering over lip liners or tints.
