Bêtise [bae-teaz] – A rich, indulgent warm berry shade borrowed from Bisou Balm, named for a traditional French candy.
Lip Nectar is a high-shine, ultra-hydrating, high-performance stain that’s never sticky or drying. The innovative oil-in-water emulsion blends the long-wear pigment of a stain with nourishing ingredients like squalane, shea butter, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid to deliver hydration and lasting color for up to 8 hours. Clinically proven, it instantly boosts moisture while keeping lips soft and comfortable. Inspired by nature, each shade blooms into its richest color just after application, with hues drawn from nectar-rich flowers for an indulgent, high-shine finish and a buildable, long-lasting stain.
Violette’s Inspiration: “The idea for Lip Nectar came to me when I couldn’t find a truly ‘grown-up’ lip stain. I wanted to create a product that was high-performance while being deeply nourishing and comfortable to apply and wear. My vision was for it to feel indulgent and sensual, like jam—rich in texture, with a luxurious burst of color, the perfect amount of shine, and just the right stain, all without the stickiness.”

USER PERCEPTION RESULTS**
After 1 use...
**Based on a self-reported survey of 30 women ages 23-75 evaluated by a dermatologist before and after testing.
Begin by applying Lip Nectar to the bottom lip, using the applicator to trace along your natural volume for a fuller, plumper look. Sweep across the top lip, then let the color bloom for up to two minutes as it sets into a rich, radiant stain. For more intensity, layer additional coats and watch the pigment deepen with every swipe.

"I ordered the Rose de Moab and I am impressed with the texture and shine—not too shiny, just fine for a lip-product obsessed 65 year old. The only drawback is that it reads a little too brown on my fair skin. No worries, it will work as a beige neutral for me and I’ll just order more!😆"
"I’m cool toned and everything runs orange on me. The bisou balm in betise looked nice and not too orange but this one looked very orange. Slightly patchy thicker areas so not the easiest to apply but smooths out easily. Gave to my sister who loves the look of something on the lips"
"This lip oil stain exceeded my expectations. The oil feels rich and nourishing rather than tacky gliding on like a true treatment that leaves my lips noticeable softer and hydrated. Once it sets the stain it leaves is natural and stunning. It's subtle, flattering and long lasting giving you a healthy flushed instead of an obvious makeup look. I highly recommend for anyone seeking hydration and a natural looking lip stain"
"My lips chap easily (just coming out of cold weather here) and most lip color settles into cracks and looks awful. I reached out to customer service (very quick and helpful) to ask about the formula and if it would settle into cracks and look splotchy. I was assured this would not be the case given the formula so I decided to try it. I LOVE this product. My lips feel hydrated and the color is just enough, both glossy and matte. After hours it still looks amazing. I would highly recommend this product and will be purchasing more."
"I have recommended this product to all my friends! It’s truly the perfect lip stain! Not too much coverage, and not too little! After applying, if you keep your lips moisturized, it lasts 4-6 hours for me! I also have this product in many colors! Love it!!"
"I absolutely love this formula! It’s hydrating and helps to make my lips look and feel juicy. And stain that’s left behind is stunning and lasts for hours. I’m normally not a pink lipstick kind of girl, but this particular shade is just so pretty and adds such a lovely pop of color to my face. There’s a reason why Lip Nectar is a 2025 Allure Best of Beauty Winner."
"I was particularly interested in this product because of the advertised "long wear" and "lip stain" properties. However, I feel that this product doesn't last much longer than a regular lip gloss. I absolutely love the color though, it's a perfect "your lips, but better" color, so I will keep using it happily, I just wish it lasted longer."
"The lip nectars are life changing ! Great accurate colors, subtle enough but with a vibrant effect. Lasts a long time and actually hydrates the lips. I recommend 100%."
"Although I like the consistency and it looks good when it goes on but I thought it was meant to be a lip stain. I found it hardly lasted any time at all and certainly does not stain my lips. It's gone in a flash!@"
"Betise is my favorite color in the Bissou balm line so naturally that's the one I picked. The color is gorgeous and I do enjoy using it. The thing is I don't find the product hydrating or the stain lasting enough to be impressed."
