Amarante Noire [ah-mah-rahnt n-wahr] – Black Amaranth. A layered, deep bordeaux that blends cool tones of aubergine, purple, blackberry, and red—honoring the darker, more dramatic side of nature.
Lip Nectar is a high-shine, ultra-hydrating, high-performance stain that’s never sticky or drying. The innovative oil-in-water emulsion blends the long-wear pigment of a stain with nourishing ingredients like squalane, shea butter, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid to deliver hydration and lasting color for up to 8 hours. Clinically proven, it instantly boosts moisture while keeping lips soft and comfortable. Inspired by nature, each shade blooms into its richest color just after application, with hues drawn from nectar-rich flowers for an indulgent, high-shine finish and a buildable, long-lasting stain.
Violette’s Inspiration: “The idea for Lip Nectar came to me when I couldn’t find a truly ‘grown-up’ lip stain. I wanted to create a product that was high-performance while being deeply nourishing and comfortable to apply and wear. My vision was for it to feel indulgent and sensual, like jam—rich in texture, with a luxurious burst of color, the perfect amount of shine, and just the right stain, all without the stickiness.”

Begin by applying Lip Nectar to the bottom lip, using the applicator to trace along your natural volume for a fuller, plumper look. Sweep across the top lip, then let the color bloom for up to two minutes as it sets into a rich, radiant stain. For more intensity, layer additional coats and watch the pigment deepen with every swipe.

"The lip nectars are top-notch. I purchased Betise (of course) and Amaranthe — both are gorgeous. And they feel so moisturizing on the lips. Lovely overall fade to stain - no ring around your mouth. I’m getting all the other shades!"
"I was really excited by this product because it's a hydrating lip stain that isn't sticky. I didn't want to have to apply more than one application get the true lip stain effect, so I paired it with a Bisou Balm in Amour Frou—one very light application (a few dabs) of Bisou Balm (enough to give my lips color) and then one layer of Lip Nectar. The result of this combination really makes the Lip Nectar color more prominent once the glossiness goes away and you're left with the lip stain."
"I've ordered a few lip products from Violette, I've enjoyed them all, but I wanted something less saturated and could be an every day lip color. I've been looking for a lip product that would enhance my natural lip color and be hydrating. This was my first lip stain product and I absolutely love it. I'm able to either reapply or use just lip balm on top but still have color. I normally just wear lip balm and very particular with how my lips feel. The Lip Nectar is super comfortable to wear, not drying, the product stays and the stain is a perfect amount of subtle staining color. Semi-gloss,not super duper shiny. Also I'd like to add since this is my first lip staining product, I was worried that applying more throughout the day would continue to make my lips darker, but it never did! I look forward to trying out other colors!"
"I have always loved Violette's lip products and this one does not disappoint. This buttery smooth, non-sticky lip staining gloss is perfect and relatively long lasting. It also smells lovely and not sickeningly sweet. The colour is also gorgeous for autumn and neutral but empowering."
"The best lip stain ever, no smell, no taste, not sticky. The color stain for a good amount of time and shine last for a long time. I love it."
"Avec une petite saveur cerise… je crois. Jolie rendu mais ne dure pas comme les autres. Nourrit bien les lèvres."
"New to this brand, but kept seeing the products, so I finally decided to try this lip stain because I absolutely love a good lip stain. I have to admit, I was confused at first. I was used to a different brand, so this took some experimenting. Now, I absolutely love it! I feel like it took me a moment to fully grasp the beauty of a more sheer product, and a bit of a more casual approach to application. I can dot it on for an everyday look, or layer more for a deeper result. I also love the clean ingredients and supporting a smaller company!"
"Super easy application and wonderful colour. And the packaging is also very cute!"
"I am so blown away at the texture of this gloss! It's completely non sticky but has just the right amount of slip. I dislike super slippery oily glosses, but I also dislike super sitcky ones, and this isn't any of that. It looks just "wet" enough without being super shiny, but it doesn't look gross or dry. I'm really not sure I can truly describe the feeling; it just "floats" on the lips. And it leaves a stain once wiped off to boot. Absolutely beautiful product, certainly more than I ever thought. I'm ao glad I decided to try it, I want more colors!"
"looks like a gloss when goes on but the stain lasts and color is great."
