Is it worth buying in Japan?
This Dior lip oil is ¥4,950 incl. tax in Japan and NT$1,260 on Taiwan's momo after a limited-time discount, making it a case where Taiwan is clearly cheaper for department-store makeup. The Taiwan listing is the international flight version and does not state capacity, so ask the seller first if the capacity difference matters to you.
- With a 1.5% foreign card fee: Japan comes to about US$32.98, still below the US by US$9.02.
- Break-even rate 0.0085 USD/JPY: above it the the US sticker is the cheaper one (this check used 0.0066, cross-converted from the Bank of Taiwan yen and dollar rates).
Before you buy
- Fixed at the Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil; do not compare against the Lip Glow balm or the Lip Maximizer plumping gloss.
- The Taiwan page is momo's "international flight edition," available in any color, with no capacity stated on the page; the Japan @cosme page lists 6.00mL.
- The Taiwan price is a limited-time discounted price; it may revert to NT$1,400 once the promotion ends.
