- Japan ranking listing: Maybelline SP Fluffy Brow Mousse/Taiwan product page: brow mousse (shade not specified; multiple shades available in the same series)The Japanese "Maybelline SP Fluff Brow Mousse" = the Japan market-launch name for the official English/global name "Super Fluff (Superfluff) Brow Mousse"; the same global product line has different translated names in different markets: Japan calls it "SP Fluff Brow Mousse," while the Taiwan distributor translates it as "SUPER FLUFF Fluffy Mousse Long-Lasting Brow Cream," both being the same fluffy brow mousse. The shade may differ (acceptable). Root re-verification: momo product page re-check: MAYBELLINE SUPER FLUFF Fluffy Mousse Long-Lasting Brow Cream, NT$339; the Japan listing's "SP Fluff Brow Mousse" is the Japan-market naming for the same item.
