Violette_FR earns strong reviews for delivering elegant, high-performance color and the cult-favorite Boum-Boum Milk that simplifies routines and leaves skin hydrated; the brand is good at pigment, texture, and packaging. Reviews also flag drawbacks: some lip formulas bleed or dry lips, components like caps or bullets can fail, shades feel limited, and certain textures fade or require touch-ups—useful caveats for deciding what to buy.
I can't say more positive things about this brand. I love everything I've ever tried (mostly lip products and the boum boum milk). So well made, beautiful packaging, and unlike any others. The lipstick is so buildable and matte, the stain is glossy but then fades so nicely, and the Plume is so rich and long lasting. Adore.
Kind of pricey but worth it for the quality.
I can only speak to the Bisou Balm as i have not tried anything else from the brand, but this product is probably the most innovative colour cosmetic lip product i have ever tried. I am not someone who likes lots of colour on my lips, so this product is perfect for me. It's so hard to describe because the formula is unlike anything i had ever tried but it adds colour that looks unbelievably natural and feels like nothing. I have in two shades and will be adding more. Highly recommend!!!
This product was sent to me as part of an educational promotion in exchange for my honest thoughts.
I was really curious to try the Plume Lip Matte Whip because its texture sounded so different from the liquid lipsticks I usually wear.
Colors: I received Mon Chéri, a warm brown-red. The warm undertones of Mon Cheri make it a perfect earthy color palette. I will wear it the most during the autumn season. En Feu is a fiery red that actually looked a little more orange when I swatched it on my hand. I still like it, but I know I’ll reach for that shade more in the summertime when I go for brighter colors.
Feeling on my lips: The Plume lip shade really lives up to its name. I learned that “plume” in French means feather. It truly feels just like that on my lips, light and airy. The texture has this whipped, mousse-like feel that almost melts as soon as it touches my lips. It sits comfortably without feeling thick or cakey, so I can wear it for hours without it weighing my lips down. I love how it enhances my lips while still feeling barely there, making it perfect for a soft, everyday look.
Scent: The smell also stood out to me. It reminds me of whipped marshmallow or vanilla cake, but not in an overly sweet way, which makes putting it on even nicer.
Applicator: For application, the wand made it really easy to put on. I tried using my fingers to get that blurred effect, but it ended up staining my fingertips. I’ve found it’s better just to massage my lips together and stick to the applicator. It makes less of a mess and saves me from having to scrub the stain off my hands right after.
Pigment: The color payoff is strong. I found that I only need to apply two small dots or swipes. One on my top lip and one on my bottom. This gives an even, effortless look. It’s definitely not on the sheer liquid stain side.I wanted to test the pigment of the lip stains, so I rubbed a piece of paper towel on my hand where I had applied them. Even after rubbing hard, I noticed that some stain remained for both colors. Interestingly, the brighter shade, En Feu, left more pigment on my skin than Mon Chéri. When I first applied them, Mon Chéri’s formula felt thicker, while En Feu was a bit thinner, but in terms of pigment on my hand, En Feu held up better.
Formulation: I’ve noticed that because it’s a whip formula, it moves a little when I’m drinking water or eating. It’s not like those ultra-locked matte liquids. It still wears pretty well throughout the day. After a meal, though, I usually need to touch up the inner part of my lips.
Style: The packaging is chic and very Violette, and I like that the shade range feels modern and creative instead of just the basics. For me, it’s less about being an all-day, transfer-proof lip and more about having a flattering, soft matte that feels good to wear.
The tint is soft but noticeable, and the texture is super smooth and hydrating. It’s easy to apply without a mirror and wears down evenly. I love how low-maintenance and pretty it feels and how it adds the perfect amount of color.
