    Rose Latte [la-tay] – a pink-hued latte.

    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."

        Une sublime découverte

        "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 ☺️"

        — Francesca V. (5/5)

        Perfect Brown Lip

        "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."

        — Thais (5/5)

        The perfect autumn lippie!

        "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."

        — Anna P. (5/5)

        Perfect fall pout!

        "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!"

        — Kristina G. (5/5)

        My New Favorite🩷

        "I absolutely love this color! I’ve never been a big fan of matte lipsticks because they usually make my lips look dry, flaky, and emphasize every little line. But this one is different! It has a beautiful matte finish while still feeling soft and moisturizing. It’s become my new favorite! The color doesn’t last all day, but it glides on so smoothly and feels so comfortable that I actually enjoy reapplying it. No complaints at all! I definitely need to get more shades! 💕"

        — Sang E. (5/5)

        Stunning for mature lips

        "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."

        — Caroline (5/5)

        Luxuriously soft and long lasting

        "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."

        — Simone H. (5/5)

        ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE

        "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!"

        — Andrea T. (5/5)

        Perfect Shade!

        "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!"

        — Rinora I. (5/5)

        "Worst lipstick I’ve ever tried. Doesn’t really leave anything but fragrance on your lips. It feels smooth and soft going on but leaves really nothing on your lips. Like it’s some kind of bad batch because everyone was raving about it and that’s not the case on these 2 lipsticks I bought from them. Horrible product"
