Bisou Balm has been a longtime dream of mine, because, well, I’m French. In France, after red lipstick, our favorite lip look is called bouche mordue or “just bitten lips.” The DIY way to do it is to apply lip balm and add a touch of lipstick – creating a subtle flush of color that looks fresh and natural. I’ve always been obsessed with capturing this effect and improving upon it – creating a formula that would mimic the true texture of your own lips. In order to do so I had to design something that would be sheer, comfortable, and hydrating but also blurring and most importantly, matte. It had to leave behind *just* the right amount of pigment but also supply a satisfying pout. Achieving all of these qualities has required so many iterations, but it’s been a true labor of love and my lips are thanking me for it.

Best lip ever
I absolutely love the lip Bissou balm. I only exclusively use that for day or night! I loved it so much I give it to my girlfriends as gifts and gave it as my favorite thing at my annual Christmas favorite things party. Now my friends are hooked. I love the natural look! I think I also love ti support the woman behind the brand as well because I actually believe in her.

Just what I've been looking for
Great stuff! A nice, matte, subtle pop of color, like you just blotted a thicker lipstick. Sheer and also moisturizing. I'm so glad I bought two.

Beautiful Balm
I have now tried Bisou Balm in Sucette and Guimauve and both colours are lovely. I really like the more natural matte look this balm gives as a change from than the usual shiny balms out there. Staying power is really good too. I would highly recommend, as with all Violette’s products!

love this product
I've been wearing this beautiful shade as soon as I received it!

Perfect
Don’t have enough good things to say about this product. Just buy it!

The best balm
I really suffer with dry, flaky lips. I took this on holiday in winter and wore it almost every day. My lips didn’t dry out except for the day I wore lipstick. This stuff is fantastic!

Beautiful Bisou Balm
Just love these. Not a fan of lipstick and always feel too self conscious if I wear it (clearly don’t learn!) always chew it off. These are completely different. Trying to think of the right words: cashmere? Velvet? Seriously luxurious in feel, stay put, don’t get chewed off, can be so subtle or built up to a deeper colour. Thank you Violette xx mwah

Unique Product
I love this product for its matte finish and the subtle hint of colour. I enjoy a no make-up look on most days and this lip product pulls it all together every time.

Lovely formula
I love the lightweight formula and how hydrating this balm is. I got this Bisou Balm is a gift set and isn't the best shade for me due to my very fair complexion but I assume this would be a lovely **** shade on someone a bit tanner than myself. Overall highly recommend!

Bisou balm
I never write reviews but must express how much I love Bisou balm!!! I never thought a product like this was possible, but it was something I had always wanted — matte and blurred and kissed looking, yet somehow keeps my lips from being too dry!?! I can’t believe it. The colors are so soft and beautiful. Sucette and betise are my absolute favorites. The color sucette gives the exact amount of bright I want mixed with being so easy to apply. Thank you for making these!!! They’re unbelievable.

Love the lipstick
One of the smoothest lipstick ever! And also long lasting and the color and texture is very smooth and comfortable. I wanna try all the other colors as well.

Bisou Balm Betise
i love it ! the perfect colour (I was searching for so long) and the perfect powdery texture that my lips love.

Bisou Balm exactly what I was looking for
I have been looking forever for the perfect matte berry stain that would give me just the right amount of color without shine while still feeling moisturizing, not drying. I don’t have to search anymore. This is it! Thank you!!

I love it!!
I love bisou balm. The color is so beautiful and buildable and it truly looks like water color.


Unlike any other lip product out there!
Ok first off i dont write reviews, let alone write reviews on lipstick!! I love makeup but never felt like lipstick looked flattering on me so i stay away from colors and always go for a **** lip. But i have tried so many different lip products out there trying to get a subtle pop on my lips that was the right color and didnt dry the f out of my lips! I just received this balm in calisson and im telling you i am floored. I had given up the hope that i could wear a lipstick and not have chapped lips afterwards, but this stuff im telling you is butter!! And it makes your lips feel like butter and no post lipstick dryness. I absolutely love the color and the enhancement of my lips without looking clowny. This is the best lipstick ive ever purchased and so thankful i did!!!!
