    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."

        "This was definitely not worth the hype. I was influenced by ads all over my social media and deply regret givening them my money. Save your hard earned money for a lip tint or something. The feeling of the lip balm is a sensory nightmare. The whole gimic with the color being subtle and being able to buid it up is a sham. Maybe on a lighter skin tone would really work and be everthing i was hoping for but hard pass for me. Just to be clear I bought two shades that would normally work for a deeper/darker skin tone and am not complaining that a baby pink didnt work on me."

        Love this shade for me!

        "Bisou Balm in Mon Chéri is the perfect shade for my colouring. It can be applied as a subtle wash of colour or built up for a richer look, making it equally suitable for day and evening wear. My only criticism is that the colour doesn't last particularly long and could be slightly more pigmented."

        Raadiya L. (5/5)

        Believe the Hype. . .

        "Love this product. Delayed buying for a while because of the price but gave in finally and purchased the 'Rose Latte' shade. I love it. Not drying at all, but a lovely matte-finish which feels weirdly moisturising - several swipes and no mirror needed. No need to keep reapplying but easy to do 'on the go' anyway - when it fades, it doesn't look patchy or leave a strange lip-liner look like standard lipsticks do when wearing off. Just placed another order for the shades 'Bonbon Myrtille' and 'Calisson' which I'm betting I'll love just as much."

        Surprisingly Lovely

        "I usually don’t love matte lips on myself, and even the ones that claim to be moisturizing and comfortable fall short when I use them. However, I was pleasantly surprised that this lip balm was way batter than all others I’ve tried. It lasted longer than I expected in color, but also in the comfortable feel to it without getting cracked and dry. I’m really impressed with the formula. I do wish they had more cool tones, I can’t tell from the pictures if the others in the range will pull warm on me, but Bon Bon Myrtle is cool toned!"

        WOW!

        "Love this lipstick and have been telling all my friends and family about it! The color is so natural and beautiful, it feels amazingly light and silky going on and has great staying power! My lips don't feel chalky or sticky -- it's such a sheer feeling! Will definitely order more!"

        Gina M. (5/5)

        "J'ai apprécié l'emballage de mon rouge à lèvres très sympathique ! En ce qui concerne le rouge à lèvres lui-même, que du positif : texture, matité, couleur douce, léger parfum délicat. Je le porte quotidiennement, un plaisir. Seul bémol, le délai de livraison, trop long par rapport à celui annoncé sur le site. . ."

        FABIENNE S. (5/5)

        Bouche mordue at its finest.

        "After being undecided on whether to get Bon Bon Myrtille or Sucette, I finally went for Bon Bon Myrtille. Tbh, as I already own and love Bêtise, I knew that either way I would not be disappointed. The colour of Bon Bon Myrtille is stunning, though. For me and my complexion and colouring it is the ideal bouche mordue shade. Same wonderful, lightweight, matte formula. It looks very natural, delicate and understated, but you can intensify the colour by doing more layers. It will never be clowny, though. This shade leans on cool. I want to applaud Violette, the one who comes up with the idea and the concept, and the cosmetic chemits' team for making these incredible and interesting formulas a reality."

        Barbara T. (5/5)

        The most perfect pink -

        "The most perfect pink - not to girly or sharp, just a beautiful classy rose - in the fabulous texture that these bisou balm lipsticks offer. A perfect product. I now have the bisou balms in every colour and use them all for different outfits and moods. Five stars."

        Natasha M. (5/5)

        Thanks

        "Everything turned out well for me personally. The luxury here lies in the noble elegance of color and impeccable comfort. The secret is that everything - from the packaging to the product itself,- says exactly as much about you as it needs to, and not a single word is superfluous."
