"My very first impression was another failed lip product. It seemed dry and not transfering color to my lips, however after warming it a bit and several swipes to build up the color this might just be PERFECT!!! Its soft, not shiny but not totally matte either. Its a perfect touch of color, for the seriously just kissed kinda look. If this wears good and stays on for a least a couple hours, ill be ordering more. Really hoping for a cool toned deep plum/brown. I just smooched the back of my hand and no transfer of pigment! Its a win so far!! 💜"

Details
Bonbon Coquelicot [kohk-li-koh] – a traditional poppy candy: a warm, fiery red with nude tones.
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: “In France, after the red lipstick, our favorite lip look is called 'bouche mordue' (just-bitten lips). To achieve it, we apply lip balm, add a touch of lipstick, and then kiss a tissue to remove excess shine, so it looks more like our natural lips. Bisou Balm leaves behind *just* the right amount of pigment and comes in the most delicious colors, inspired by the traditional French candies of my childhood."
0.08oz / 2.5g
Recommended use
Swipe Bisou Balm onto bare lips, applying just beyond the natural lip line. Layer up to three coats depending on the desired pigment.
For very dry lips, moisturize before applying.

Sexy, classy, chic, my forever
"My mom was a hairstylist for over 30 years. After puberty, my "tomgirl" era ended, and I became obsessed with beauty products, services, body positivity, and self-love. Now that I'm nearing 60, yikes- it goes fast- I have honed and crafted my style and products. After decades of experimenting with various makeup brands, Violette_FR is the ONLY lip color that I use. First, the colors are rich and vibrant, and the application is very easy. I love the "blurred" lipstick effect; it is classy, modern, and has that effortless cool girl look. I have purchased 10-12 different formulations (plume lip, bissou jelly, gloss, lip nectar, and balm amour). I love mixing colors and formulations, and I receive compliments from colleagues and random people in checkout lines or at restaurants. I HIGHLY recommend!"
Great color and texture. Bad customer experience
"I really like the color and texture of this product. It looks very natural and something I could wear all day every day. My only issue was the mail carrier used for international purchases. I ordered my product on July 9 and it took 14 days to get to me (from the US to Mexico, literally neighboring countries)."
Perfect freshly kissed look
"I love this lipstick so much because it gives you a freshly kissed look that’s build able. You know when you apply lipstick and it’s a little to heavy so you blot it…this lipstick provides that naturally except it’s also moisturizing. I love the sucette color and just purchased two more for variety. It’s a perfect lipstick for more casual looks and buildable for a rich look in the evening. Just buy it!"
Simply beautiful!
"I have now purchased 3 Bisou Balms and I absolutely love them! They are so beautiful on and give my lips a bigger appearance. I am 59 and can't wear to much makeup anymore and these balms are perfect. So soothing and not drying at all. No fragrance is a big plus for me as well. Goes on smooth as silk and doesn't need a touch up unless I have a meal or wipe it off."
Einzigartig- Liebling für den Sommer
"Ich liebe den Bisou Balm. Ohne Lipliner ein zarter Hauch von Farbe. Mit Lipliner gibt er einen tollen, coolen Look mit super Volumen. Ich fühle mich damit nie overdone. Ich habe die Farben Bêtise und Amour fou und liebe sie beide. Im Winter habe ich trockenere Lippen und benutze lieber andere Lippenstifte, weil mit der Bisou Balm nicht die notwendige Feuchtigkeit für trockene Winterlippen gibt."
Absolutely amazing.
"I am particular about lip products - I typically go with sheer to semi glossy balms/lipsticks/glosses. However, the Bisou Balm has changed my thoughts on this. The color is gorgeous and long lasting, and the matte finish feels plush and buttery. It doesn’t feel like the chalky mattes of old. Don’t sleep on this product, it’s gorgeous."
Disappointed
"Very exited to try this lipstick and it came damaged. When I opened it it came completely off the casing. I contacted Customer Service but I haven’t gotten a response yet."
Very strong smell, very bright pink
"Not what I expected from photos and the smell is quite off putting— a very strong sweet rose sugar smell like food or cookies. I wish I could return but I didn’t know it would look so bright until I put it on. Unclear on the return policy but it seems you cannot return even if the smell makes the product impossible to wear once you’ve tried it."
