Alternative Stereo Caramel Glaze: why 7 on the Korean store, 10 in a video and 5 in Japan?

A five-step guide to reading three different shade counts by market, source and date without inventing discontinued colors or wear-test results.

YOOTRUE's February 6, 2026 original Caramel Glaze review lists ten shade names and discloses gifted products without review obligation; not independent testing. · YOOTRUE ON AIR · YouTube · gifted products disclosed

Korean brand Alternative Stereo's Lip Potion Caramel Glaze appears with different shade counts in different places. On October 30, 2026 the Korean brand-store product title said '7 colors'. A February 6, 2026 video by Korean beauty creator YOOTRUE listed shade names 01 through 10 in its description. A February 16 Japanese launch report introduced a five-shade local rollout starting March 1. **These numbers describe different pages, dates and markets; they do not by themselves prove anything was discontinued or is now sold everywhere.** This guide uses source labels, not a personal product trial. We have not independently playback-verified how every shade appears on skin.

  1. 01

    Start with the country, listing and date

    The current Korean official store calls its Lip Potion Caramel Glaze item '7 colors'. That is the product page's displayed selection count, not proof of the worldwide total number of manufactured shades. Confirm actual options, local shipping and stock when shopping.

    Read Japan's original five-shade announcement in context

    A Japanese report dated February 16, 2026 described a March 1 local rollout with 01 Milk Caramel, 02 Vanilla Rose, 03 Salted Pink, 04 Toffee Rose and 05 Cacao 50%. The launch report does not establish what every Japanese retailer stocks in October.

    Understand the ten-shade Korean creator video separately

    YOOTRUE's February 6 original video description also lists 06 Strawberry Banana, 07 Black Cherry, 08 Nu Mond, 09 Earl Grape and 10 Dolce Peach. These are names included in a video, not independent confirmation that all ten are currently on sale in every country.

    Pick your preferred color family rather than trust a universal swatch

    The Japanese introduction describes shades 01–05 broadly as nude beige, pink beige, pink, brown-toned rose and deeper brown respectively. These are published brand-supplied descriptions, not our measurements of pigmentation on a particular skin tone. Check the locally sold shade name and ingredient label.

    Check lip comfort and creator disclosures

    YOOTRUE disclosed that the video included products supplied without an obligation to review. Treat any personal impressions as subjective and don't feel obliged to purchase. Dermatologists advise avoiding lip products that sting or burn, using gentle care for chapped lips and a suitable SPF 30+ lip product when outdoors.

✦ Helpful tips

  • Seven, ten and five refer to different Korean store, Korean video and Japanese launch contexts in 2026, not proof of discontinued shades.
  • The Korean creator video discloses gifted products without review obligation; we make no personal wear or shade-comparison claims.
  • Shade names, formulas and availability may vary across markets; country-specific labeling wins over a translated list.

ⓘ Keep in mind

  • Stop using a lip product that causes burning, stinging or itch; consult a dermatologist for persistent or severe lip symptoms.
  • Glossiness does not automatically mean SPF protection or medical treatment. Verify any SPF claim on the specific product label.
