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."

"Je suis ravie d’avoir commandé le Bisou Balm chocolat. Il est si facile à appliquer et si léger. J’adore le rendu, la couleur est magnifique et s’adapte très bien à n’importe quelle carnation. Je recommande vivement le Bisou balm ! Je suis tellement contente que je voudrais tester d’autres produits Violette_FR ☺️"
"Love the ease of this! Gives a sheer wash of color which you can add more layers to get a more intense color. Has great stay considering it’s not a lipstick. Also love that it’s an actually neutral and cooler brown."
"I had been eyeing the Bisou Balm for the longest time but I couldn't find a shade that truly spoke to me - until Chocolat was created. On my olive leaning neutral skin tone, this lippie was a dream. In some lightings it's almost grungy and in others its classy. Regardless, it is such a chic lippie to have from the pillowy soft texture to the way it hugs and smooths the lips. And the shade is absolute perfection. I currently now own 2 different lip formulas from Violette: the Lip Nectar and the Bisou Balm and both have been the most delightful experience. Honestly the perfect my lips but better shade that doesn't try to hard but adds an effortless, chic boost to your look."
"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!"
"I am in love with Bisou Balm. It is a perfect matte for mature lip textures - liquid mattes are just too drying. The soft matte finish is flattering and does not migrate to lip lines. It is also surprsingly transfer resistant. I have Betise and Bonbon Myrtille and want to try more shades."
"I wasn’t sure about buying a matte lipstick after having had mixed experiences with other good brands. But Bisou Balm is a winner. Application is easy because its texture is silky smooth and light. Layering adds pigment, and gently smoothing the edges with a finger gives it a natural look."
"I have never been able to regularly wear lipstick or glosses due to the texture or stickiness or scent, etc. If I had a formal event, I would wear lipstick and just tolerate it. This product is an absolute game changer for me. The color is perfection, the formula is so lightweight it feels like nothing at all. There is no scent no stickiness, just beautiful color that blurs in the most flattering way. I love this product so much! I am absolutely hooked and want to purchase every color. Just absolutely incredible product!"
"I discovered this through Hailey Bieber's makeup look at the French show and hadn't heard of the brand VIOLETTE_FR before. I decided to try the Bisou Balm in "Bêtise" and I am totally impressed! The color sits perfectly, looks gorgeous, and feels amazing on the lips. This definitely won't be my last product from this brand—absolute recommendation!"
"There's no return policy. the color I bought doesn't go with my skin undertone. of course I have to try it once. The policy is no return on used product. The store should have mini trial size so if we don't go with the color , or we just dont like it, at least we didn't pay full prize. I don't think I will be purchasing from this store again."
"I was afraid of trying a new color and thought I should just buy my tried-and-tested color, Calisson. But this shade did not disappoint! I love the warm pink shade, perfectly matched my warm-light complexion. I thought this might look too pink or bright on me but surprisingly, it doesn’t. I can wear it alone but I like layering it with Calisson for a more muted pink shade."
