SBS' hit drama series "Pinocchio" concluded its three-month run on Thursday, but its popularity is still going strong.

In what has been labeled the "Park Shin-hye lipstick effect," the Korean cosmetics brand Mamonde is seeing a boost in sales.

Lead actress Park Shin-hye wore Mamonde's Creamy Tint Color Balm on the romantic drama series.

The retractable chubby-sticks, available in 20 shades, have seen a surge in sales since last month. Sales of the lip crayon range increased fivefold, with some stores running out of the products completely.

Park Shin-hye's Matte Pop Orange (No. 12) outperformed the other shades with 10 times the average sales. The 24-year-old actress also wore the shades Velvet Red (No. 16) and Let Me Pink (No. 4) in her role as aspiring journalist Choi In-ha.

Mamonde's Creamy Tint Color Balm is lightweight and moisturizing, making it ideal for winter. Beauty bloggers also said that the color is very pigmented, though not particularly long-lasting.

The lipsticks, which contain argania spionsa kernel oil, retail for 8,000 won ($7.40) and 9,000 won ($8.40) for its neon and velvet shades.

The "Pinocchio" actress has been the face of Mamonde since April 2014.
