Mon Chéri [monh-sheh-ree] – a traditional cherry-covered chocolate candy: a brown-red hue with warm tones that's both fresh and sophisticated.
A sheer matte lipstick-meets-hydrating balm that delivers the iconic Bouche Mordue—or “just-bitten lips”—look in one step. The unique, moisturizing formula blends seamlessly into lips, diffusing color for a soft-focus, blurred finish that feels effortlessly French. Swipe once for a natural flush, or layer to build color payoff. Formulated with smoothing emollients, soft-focus powders, and botanical Lapacho Tree Extract, Bisou Balm helps hydrate lips while minimizing the appearance of fine lines. The result: sheer, buildable color with a soft-focus blur—like you’ve just been kissed.
Violette's Inspiration: “Mon Chéri is inspired by the color of a chocolate and cherry candy from my childhood. It is the perfect blend of sophistication, warmth, and freshness—offering a natural yet bold hue that suits all complexions. I like to think of it as the big sister to Bêtise—like your lips, but more saturated and elevated. It embodies my philosophy of transcending age and style, celebrating unapologetic self-love and confidence."
0.08oz / 2.5g
Swipe Bisou Balm onto bare lips, applying just beyond the natural lip line. Layer up to three coats depending on the desired pigment.

"I saw an Instagram ad for this bisou balm in chocolat and was intrigued - I’d tried two other colors from violette and loved the consistency so I wanted to try this color. It is PERFECTION and actually I don’t know if there is a reformulation but the balm is actually SOFTER and MORE MOISTURIZING than the previous tubes I owned. The color is perfect chic Nicole Kidman fall 90s practical magic witchy perfection. Fan for life. Love. Would buy ten more, one for all besties!"
"Buy this immediately. Not only is it super light weight, it’s subtle but also buildable allowing you to control how intense the color appears. It truly feels like I have nothing on my lips and it lasts me most of the day with little to no reapplication needed. I need to buy extras immediately. Also I’ve never left a review for makeup, this is a first for me so you can understand the impact this product had on me."
"I must say my expectations were low, only because heavy marketing in the cosmetics industry ins’t necessarily followed by high quality products, but i must say i ‘ve been blown away by the colour and the texture of this lipstick. It makes lips really smooth and has a very subtle aroma. I am a dark brunette with fair skin and the colour looks absolutely beautiful - the colour depth is also buildable. Sort of regretted not buying a second one."
"I like it. It's a good daytime color. I don't care for reds and pinks and it's hard to find a color that matches the lips. The Bisou Balm Chocolat is perfect. It goes on smoothly, not too slick. I have had to re-apply it to keep the smooth feeling on my lips. At first i thought the scent was a little too sugary. Sort of like cotton candy or bubble gum, but i kind of like it now."
"This color is so lovely! I have very, very dark brown hair with red undertones, fair skin, hazel eyes and this is my favorite of all followed closely by Bonbon Myrtille, Betise, then Mon Cheri. It’s a rich brown that doesn’t look like a 1990s brown, it’s raisiny…a brown with the slightest purple grape tone. Very sophisticated!"
"Delicious color! This one will suit literally everyone - it is a very unique brown, a bit mauvy and a bit reddish, not too cold, not too warm, just elegant. Not a 90s dead-brown. It is truly chocolate color that looks amazing. I wish it were a bit more moisturizing, but it is a special matte lipstick, so it is clear why it can't be. I am really in love with it. The color intensity depends on your preference, and can be built up."
"I’m really happy with this balm. The color is beautiful, although I expected Chocolat to be a little darker and more intense on the lips. The matte finish is gorgeous and still feels very comfortable, never dry or heavy. It feels nourishing and hydrating, and leaves my lips soft while still giving them that effortless blurred matte look. Overall, a really lovely product - I just wish the shade had a little more depth."
"I absolutely love this product and have several colours but most recently had to get the chocolat as soon as I saw the autumn friendly shade. Goes on so very smoothly and is no drying while softening and blurring my lips. I only wish it lasted longer! Also, the cap seems to have improved since my early purchases as it doesn't pop off as easily in my handbag or pocket. Thank you!!"
"I love Bétise (the perfect rose) and Calisson (the perfect neutral), but I just got Chocolat and it is everything, a perfect fall neutral straight from the 90's. These lipsticks are buildable alone or over a more moisturizing balm, but fairly drying alone. They definitely deliver the blur and smooth effect as advertised. They don't stay put long but leave a bit of a tint, and I reapply when needed."
"Bien hydratant mais rend mes lèvres un peu sec après 3 applications. La couleur est divine, oui divine.... un brun qui rend vos dents plus blanches, qui donne un aspect naturel a vos lèvres... Bref je le recommande, bravo Violette pour cette merveille! It's so good really..."
