Details

Bêtise [bae-teaz] – A rich, indulgent warm berry shade borrowed from Bisou Balm, named for a traditional French candy.

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.”

Recommended use

Begin by applying Lip Nectar to the bottom lip, using the applicator to trace along your natural volume for a fuller, plumper look.

Product FAQ

Things
people ask

How Long does Lip Nectar’s stain last?

Lip Nectar leaves a lasting stain that wears beautifully for up to 8 hours—without drying out your lips. While wear time can vary based on your natural lip tone and habits, its nourishing formula is designed to deliver rich color that lingers long after the initial shine.

How do I prep my lips for Lip Nectar?

No prep needed—Lip Nectar is deeply hydrating and smooths lips on its own. If your lips are feeling extra dry, you can layer a bit of balm underneath for added comfort.

Is Lip Nectar sticky or drying?

Not at all. Lip Nectar delivers high-shine color with a nourishing, cushiony feel—no stickiness, no dryness. Its unique water-in-oil emulsion keeps lips smooth, hydrated, and comfortable all day.

Can I wear Lip Nectar with other lip products?

Absolutely. Lip Nectar layers beautifully with liners and pairs effortlessly with balm—under or over. Wear it solo for a rich stain or mix and match to create your own custom look.

Any tips or tricks for applying Lip Nectar?

Try an Ombré Lip: Define the edges of your lips with Dahlia Noir, then swipe Bêtise in the center. Soft, dimensional, and striking.

Contour with Color: Outline the volume of your lips with Dahlia Noir and brighten the center with Rose de Moab. Fair skin? Outline with Rose de Moab, and swipe Bêtise in the center.

Go Deep: For a bolder stain, layer slowly—blot between coats and reapply to build intensity.

Why isn't my Lip Nectar filled all the way?

Each tube is filled by weight, not volume. A small amount of air is intentionally left to accommodate the applicator and prevent overflow when you insert the wand back into the tube. Rest assured, you're getting the full amount listed on the packaging.

Reviews

Lip Nectar + Bisou Balm = Perfect Match

"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."

— Leslie C. (5/5)

My first 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!"

— Molly L. (5/5)

So, I was confused at first….

"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!"

— Jenn P. (5/5)

"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!"

— P (5/5)

"Love the deep plum color and it feels good on. The stain looks cool too and has a 90s vibe."

— Ava (5/5)

Lovely colour and feel!

"Super lovely colour, feels highly hydrating on the lips without being sticky. I was kind of expecting it to be a tad more pigmented - it always feels as if the product wasn't mixed well in its container as it seems to be uneven when I apply it. I try to overcome this by stirring it very lightly with the applicator, maybe it's the temperature currently."

— Gianna B. (4/5)

Glossy nourishing lip stain

"Once you start using this you cannot go back! It's my go-to everyday lip product. The gloss surprisingly stays on quite a long time and leaves lips supple and the lip stain is a lovely reddish orangey shade."

— Rachelle A. (5/5)

Love these stains!

"I have all the colors now! Some last longer than others, but I think that's true for any stain. These last longer than most, though not as long as the very drying ones. I think it's the perfect compromise. 4-6 hours of solid wear with no dryness."

— Hol (5/5)

Lip Holy Grail Product

"Absolutely gorgeous product. I love the glossy sheen when it first goes on, and the beautiful stain that follows. It’s moisturizing too so your lips feel comfortable and hydrated all day. I want every color!"

— Shannon H. (5/5)

Love the stain

"This has a great texture, and Betise is a lovely color. I wish the formula was slightly less shiny, but I love how it looks when the shine wears off."

— DeEtta (5/5)
