How it works
This Reedle Shot Lip Plumper Usagi Pink is a sheer pink gloss, formulated around centella asiatica extract, sodium hyaluronate and simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil. It sits on the skin and is meant to be worn alone over bare lips or layered on top of lipstick. The remaining formula carries supporting humectants and film-forming agents typical of a VT lip of this kind, listed in full on the ingredient panel itself. Introduce this product on its own for the first several uses before layering it with other actives.
Key benefits
- A milky pink from titanium dioxide and lake pigments on the list
- The same plumping chemistry as the rest of the line
- Jojoba and castor seed oil cushion the tint
- Beginner-friendly tingle in the most wearable shade
Key actives
26Anemarrhena Asphodeloides Root Extract
moisturizing botanical of the lip line
How to use
- Wear it alone for a soft wash of colour, or over lipstick to blur it.
- One layer, last, after everything else on the lips.
- Top it up during the day like any other gloss.
- Do not put it on lips that are cracked.
VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot Lip Plumper Usagi Pink
Is the Reedle Shot Lip Plumper Usagi Pink on this page the Korean-market VT Cosmetics formula?
Yes. It is the release VT Cosmetics sells inside Korea. A product carrying the same name in a US-facing listing can be a different export version with a different ingredient list or size, and we only stock the Korean release. The box and unit that ship to you keep their Korean-language packaging and Korean barcode intact.
What does the Reedle Shot Lip Plumper Usagi Pink actually contain?
Its own ingredient list names centella asiatica extract, sodium hyaluronate and simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil, and we only describe what that list states rather than adding anything a similar VT product happens to carry. Reedle Shot Lip Plumper Usagi Pink is a sheer pink gloss, and it is meant to be worn alone over bare lips or layered on top of lipstick.
How does buying the Reedle Shot Lip Plumper Usagi Pink here compare with a US retailer?
This is the unit built for the Korean market, with the Korean barcode and batch code intact on the box rather than swapped for a US-facing repack.
How is the Reedle Shot Lip Plumper Usagi Pink meant to be used?
It is worn alone over bare lips or layered on top of lipstick, and its own texture is a sheer pink gloss. Introduce it on its own for the first several uses so any reaction traces back to this product rather than to whatever else is in a routine that week, then fold it into the rest of a routine once it has been tolerated well.

31 of 32 explained
- Hydrogenated Polyisobutene emollient
- Hydrogenated Polyisobutene is a stabilised synthetic hydrocarbon used in place of mineral oil. It is an emollient that leaves a smooth, cushioned film.
- Bis-Behenyl/Isostearyl/Phytosteryl Dimer Dilinoleyl Dimer Dilinoleate emollient
- A very large branched ester built on plant sterols. It thickens an oil phase without wax and gives sticks and balms their cling.
- Diisostearyl Malate emollient
- Diisostearyl Malate is a thick, glossy ester used to hold pigment in suspension and give a cushioned shine. It is the standard emollient in lip products.
- Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil emollient
- Jojoba Oil is a liquid wax rather than a true oil, and its structure is close to human sebum, which is why it absorbs so readily. It is an emollient that leaves a soft, non-greasy finish.
- Silica Dimethyl Silylate absorbent
- Silica Dimethyl Silylate is silica with a silicone surface coating. It absorbs oil, thickens and stops powders clumping.
- Synthetic Wax occlusive
- Synthetic Wax is a purpose-built hydrocarbon wax used to structure balms and sticks. It is odourless and does not oxidise, unlike most natural waxes.
- 1,2-Hexanediol humectant
- 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
- Menthyl Lactate active
- Menthyl Lactate is a menthol derivative that gives a cooling sensation without menthol's sharpness or scent. It is a sensory ingredient rather than an active.
- Vanillyl Butyl Ether active
- A warming sensory agent derived from vanillin. It produces a mild tingling warmth on contact, which is the sensation lip products are describing when they say plumping.
- Sorbitan Isostearate emulsifier
- Sorbitan Isostearate is a mild emulsifier that holds water into oil, the direction a cleansing balm or an oil-based cream needs.
- Phenoxyethanol preservative
- Phenoxyethanol is the most widely used cosmetic preservative outside the paraben family. It keeps a water-containing formula from growing bacteria and mould, and is capped at one percent in most markets, so it always sits low on a list.
- Red 7 Lake (Ci 15850) colorant
- Red 7 Lake is a synthetic blue-red dye anchored to a mineral base so it stays put as a pigment. It is a standard lip and cheek colour.
19 more explained
- Yellow 5 Lake (Ci 19140) colorant
- Yellow 5 Lake is a synthetic yellow dye anchored to a mineral base so it stays put as a pigment rather than dissolving.
- Benzyl Benzoate fragrance component
- Benzyl Benzoate is a faintly balsamic aromatic that also acts as a fixative, holding a fragrance on skin longer. It is one of the 26 declarable fragrance components.
- Yellow 6 Lake (Ci 15985) colorant
- Yellow 6 Lake is a synthetic orange-yellow dye fixed onto a mineral base so it cannot dissolve and bleed. It sits on the surface as a pigment.
- Silica absorbent
- Silica is finely milled mineral, essentially very pure sand. It absorbs oil, stops powders clumping and soft-focuses the look of pores and fine lines.
- Fragrance fragrance
- Fragrance, or Parfum, is a single declaration standing for a whole scent blend, which can be dozens of materials. Regulators allow it as a trade secret, so a list showing only this word does not say what the scent is made of. It is the most common trigger named by people with reactive skin.
- Iron Oxides (Ci 77499) colorant
- Iron Oxides are mineral pigments in red, yellow and black, and the three are blended to make every skin-tone shade in a tinted product. They are inert and sit on the surface.
- Water solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil emollient
- Castor Oil is thick, glossy and unusually good at dissolving pigment, which is why it dominates lip and cleansing-balm formulas. It is a heavy emollient.
- Centella Asiatica Extract plant extract
- Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid.
- Sorbitan Olivate emulsifier
- Sorbitan Olivate is an olive-derived emulsifier, the oil-loving half of the pair sold as Olivem. It holds oil into water and leaves a light, non-waxy feel.
- Sodium Hyaluronate humectant
- Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt of hyaluronic acid, and it is what most products labelled hyaluronic actually contain. The salt dissolves more readily and the molecule is smaller, so it sits in the outer layer of skin rather than only on top of it.
- Caproic Acid fatty acid
- Caproic Acid is a short six-carbon fatty acid. It is used in traces, and it is one of the fatty acids that gives a natural oil its characteristic smell.
- Anemarrhena Asphodeloides Root Extract plant extract
- Anemarrhena Asphodeloides is a root used in Korean traditional practice. Its extract is used as a conditioning plant extract.
- Tocopherol antioxidant
- Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer.
- Asiatic Acid active
- Asiatic Acid is the third of centella's four triterpenes and the aglycone form, meaning it has no attached sugar. It is oil soluble, so it turns up in cica creams and balms more than in watery layers.
- Asiaticoside active
- Asiaticoside is one of the four active triterpenes isolated from centella and the most studied of them. Korean formulas name it separately when they want to show which fraction of the plant they standardised.
- Madecassic Acid active
- Madecassic Acid is the fourth centella triterpene. A list that names all four is telling you the extract was standardised rather than simply pressed, which is the difference between a cica claim and a cica formula.
- Madecassoside active
- Madecassoside is the centella triterpene most associated with the look of redness, and the one brands lead with in cica products. It is water soluble and stable, so it appears in essences as readily as in creams.
- Propolis Extract plant extract
- Propolis is the resin bees collect from tree buds and use to seal the hive. It is rich in flavonoids, carries a warm amber colour and scent, and is used for the look of dull, stressed skin. It is a bee product, so it is worth knowing about if you react to those.
