The VIOLETTE_FR Thread

[Sunnysmom]

I know some of us love anything Violette_fr creates so let’s discuss her line as it grows! These small lines will always have my heart. She’s such a talented makeup artist and love that she also included skincare and fragrance.  I have loved her past collabs and look forward to any newness in her well-edited line. Sounds like more Yeux Paint shades are coming soon and it’ll be great if she develops new lips, cheeks and more!  Share all your pics and thoughts! 💋 Photos from her Instagram.

Here is the new Désir lip. It’s gorgeous and deep tho buildable and can be blurred if you move quickly! 

[Sunnysmom]

Promo going on now. Great time to try some of her stuff if you haven’t. I love the lip balms and cheeks! Highlighter is subtle but soft. Scent is kind of a musk. Liquid lips dry very quickly. A balm is good underneath!

@Sunnysmom  Okay so, I might possibly have just placed an order for another balm (Guimauve), the highlighter, and a liquid matte (Amour Fou). Hopefully that liquid matte’s not too drying with a lip balm + lip primer underneath. Looking forward to trying it and the highlighter! 

[Sunnysmom]

Ha and so it is @WinglessOne ! 😍 I’ve not seen Guimauve, excited to see yours! Fou is gorgeous. Yes def use the balm and primer. Find me when it arrives please! Wish I’d remembered she may do a BF deal when I ordered the darn Desir. Oh well. Now to try and not order another Sucette!! Ugh.

Thought it was time to catch up a few of the newer Violette_Fr products. The newest Bisou Balm in Amour Fou, a muted soft red. ( Will also post swatch when mine arrives if anyone wants to see it. ) Swatches of all the Balms plus comparison of the 2 Petal Bouche liquid red and the newer pink. Ooh these smell yummy. 🌹💄 💞 All info from Instagram.  @eshoe have you bought any of these lately? I still reach for them often! Balms especially. 

[Sunnysmom]

While I’m at it thought I’d add the blush and balms I got last year. To have them all on here 🙂 

[eshoe]

Oh those blushes are quite pretty, @Sunnysmom. I have not made another purchase from them in awhile. I have been working my way through a number of neutral lipsticks/balms as they seem to multiply in my drawers when I am not looking! I have a couple of la bouche rouge satins that should be showing up in a day or two, very curious to see how that formula wears. You have a few, I believe 😉  

[Sunnysmom]

That is so true @eshoe , they do seem to multiply! I have so many Farmacy Honey Butter Beeswax Lip Balm 0.12 oz/ 3.4 g in different spots it’s nutty. Ooh I hope you like the LBR! If you think of it do let me know what you think! I love ‘em yes! 🥰

[eshoe]

Ooh I went through one of those balms, @Sunnysmom - very nourishing. 

I feel confident knowing LBR has your seal of approval, I am anxiously awaiting them!

[Sunnysmom]

Paws crossed @eshoe , hope so too! 🥰

[eshoe]

Well, I found my perfect lipstick, @Sunnysmom.  I love, love, LOVE the formula! It feels somewhere between Gucci and Valentino on the lips, and so far is going strong, even after having breakfast. Thanks for the recommendation - LBR is a winner!

[Sunnysmom]

Oh isn’t that the best @eshoe ?! I’m so glad! I totally agree. They really have created some wonderful formulas! 

[eshoe]

Do you have a favorite, @Sunnysmom, among the balm, satin and matte?

[Sunnysmom]

I def love the mattes and satins @eshoe ! Haven’t tried a balm yet other than the no color one that was a gwp once and it feels moisturizing for sure.  Have you tried the Violette or Hermes balms? So good! 💞

[eshoe]

Good to know about the balm, @Sunnysmom. It wasn't as highly rated as the satin or matte, so I passed (for now). May pick one up at some point.

No, I have not tried either of those two brands' lipsticks. So many choices, so little time ha! 

[Sunnysmom]

The new Bisou Balms. I wasn’t sure what to expect as they looked so super sheer but I am happily surprised with the one I got! This is Betise. It’s a beautiful flushed pinky red. Feels and looks similar to the Hermes balms maybe a little rougher in texture . I’m very happy with the color tho as it’s obviously cooler toned than Hermes

Rose Tan and gives a very good tint to the lip! And less than half the price too. 😊 @itsfi @eshoe

Betise

[eshoe]

Oh yes, those look extremely wearable, @Sunnysmom. Now to try to pick just one! 

[Sunnysmom]

Yup a good thumbs up to these @eshoe .

Adding my little collection with a few thoughts to share as well!

Spoiler

Boum-Boum Milk - the description on this is quite accurate. It is touted as a ‘toner, serum & moisturizer’ all-in-one, and is does just what it says. 

It behaves like a rich essence, and somehow manages to leave my skin feeling soft and not tight/dry in the morning when used at night. It is pretty versatile, standing in for a complicated routine when I am not up for it. My favorite use for it has been as a post wash-off, pre-sheet mask prep.

Baume Shine - I have found this to be an emollient highlighting balm that is easy to use (a common theme here!) and applies a very soft glow. 

Avec Amour - this perfume oil is perhaps the most complicated of the three. The ombré blue bottle feels luxe, with its weighted gold-tone cap. The roller moves easily and applies smoothly. The scent is different from any other perfume I have tried. My first impression was playdoh, and it is still what I notice when I first apply it. But then it blends with my skin and cascades into this curious blend of subtle vetiver and bergamot. I don’t think if I were looking for a vetiver perfume, I would choose this one; it is far too light and playful as opposed to mysterious and smoky. There seems to be a tiny note of something spicy - coriander-like, maybe, that draws me in. Similar to how the Kiehl’s Coriander scent is. A very unique scent, and one that makes me smile whenever I wear it.

 

Beauty as art, I love it!
