My Review of Violette FR Bisou Jelly
I love an easy to use, shiny sheer lip and this one really ticks all the boxes. It’s lovely! In terms of ease, these are the kind of products you can grab from your handbag and swipe on a top up without needing a mirror, and it really doesn’t get any easier than that!
Also the Violette FR Bisou Jelly is a lovely sturdy product. When you first look at them, they look like you might have to apply really gently in case the bullet collapses and you apply more than you need. However, the formula has a lovely firmness and you can apply boldly without any fear of making a mess. It really holds its own.
It terms of texture, it feels nice and moisturising, so you could easily reach for one of these instead if your regular lip balm. And because it’s a sheer and naturally flattering kind of finish, it looks great even without any other makeup.
The selection of shades is really pretty. I love them all. They all offer a soft hint of colour that can be subtly intensified with Pomme d’Amour being the most ‘poppy’ shade.
They are all so wearable, however, I think that Aïssa is possibly my favourite, and I don’t think I am alone as this is the shade that is currently sold out. If you love a nude tone, Bonbon Caramel will be right up your street. It’s like a lovely sheer 90s nude and would look stunning with a lip liner if you wanted a more ‘makeup-y’ look.
