    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."

        Amazing.

        "This amazing balm glides on effortlessly, providing an instant burst of hydration. Its silky texture ensures that your lips feel soft and nourished from the very first swipe. As the balm wears off, you'll notice that your lips remain moisturized and smooth, thanks to its long-lasting formula. Perfect for everyday use, this balm is your solution for maintaining luscious lips all day long. Treat yourself to the ultimate lip care experience!"

        Sheer and easy to layer for a more rich color

        "Hello, Violette I am loving all of your products thus far. This particular lip balm I have in several colors, all of them are sheer and easy to layer and that is a wonderful attribute for a balm. The colors are easy to wear with almost everything. I look forward to seeing more of your line in Sephora stores."

        Lauren S. (5/5)

        "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!! 💜"

        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!"

        Lourdes A. (5/5)

        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)."

        Deborah G. (4/5)

        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!"

        Marsha N. (5/5)

        "Sucette is a Gorgeous pop of color wakes my face up, doesn’t feel like a layer of lipstick which i hate that heavy feeling and somehow u dont need a lipliner or mirror ro apply it got sucette and amour fou which i have yet to plly just got it yesterday"

        I worked in food manufacturing

        "I worked in food manufacturing plant. This lip balm is perfect for discreet make up. I can wear it without anyone noticing Im wearing make up. It just looks very natural. I did had two different shades of red. Then this time I got rose latte and betise. I both loved it. I am purchasing them again when on big sale for stock."

        Ivy G. (5/5)

        Obsessed

        "I now own 3 of the Bisou Balm lipsticks: Rose Latte, Bonbon Myrtille and Calisson. . . I have somehow resisted buying the viral Betise but I know it's only a matter of time. . . . Eagerly awaiting delivery of my order of Sucette. I find myself reaching for my Rose Latte everyday - it wears off a bit? Doesn't matter, it still looks great. Not drying - just a perfect matte, but better than natural look. Want to intensify the colour? Just swipe over a few more times, no mirror required. What's not to like? And the packaging - it's so luxe. . . Is it pricey? Yes, a little. Does it matter for a lipstick that sparks joy when using it and has rapidly become an everyday go-to? I don't think so."
