I haven’t tried anything from the brand yet and I think I’ll pass. The comparison with all the other products made me realize I have something equivalent in my collection. I’d rather use what I have! Thanks Matilda! ❤

Thank you Janet! I do enjoy a lot of Violette's formulas but a few tweaks to make them easier to use for beginners would really take the brand to the next level 👏 x

Boum Boum Milk is still the star for me. I picked up more Yeux Paints as the colours are to eyes what Lisa Eldridge's are to lips - a tweak on the everyday that you don't find anywhere else. They are such a faffy mess to work with though. The about-face paints are effortless, a joy to apply, and much longer wearing. Also, the highlighter lifts any makeup under it, no matter how carefully I apply it. Nothing beats the Chanel!

Thank you for sharing her other products. I think I definitely will look into your highlighter recommendation. I personally love the bisou balm. It felt very comfortable on my lips and I have thin lips so i can easily build up and shape gradually with a pencil without so much blotting and corrections like I would with other matte or bold lipsticks.

It was great to see the comparisons here between the eyeshadows. I’ve thought about these but probably will give them a miss after this review thanks! I think you’ve done the “one and done” shadows in the past but there are so many new options in this category lately and as a (almost) exclusively one-and-done shadow wearer, I’d love your updated thoughts!

Love the review and comparisons Matilda. Really appreciate you mentioning the fragrance too, as that's a deal breaker for me ❤

I like BBM better, because it does feel like a moisturizer. I only used that in the summer. Also I find C’est la cream is dewy, but not overly, and yet sooo moisturizing. My skin is reborn…

I was pleased to see the brand in Mecca after seeing them on your channel! I got a couple of the Yeux Paints, i didn't find them that hard to work with and do use more than a dot, do a line along my lashes and blend up. I got a blush in Ines, I like it, probably still prefer the Nude Stix blushes. And I got a Bisou Balm in Betise, At first I didn't like the balm at all, too dry for my liking but it is growing on me with a lip balm under it. It was fun to try a new brand.

@matildaonvideo

9 ай бұрын

Sounds like a great selection Julia! You're quite right that a swipe along the lash line works well too, but I like to say start with a dot to help manage people's expectations so they don't apply too much too soon and get in a mess! 😅 x

The lipsticks caught my eye because I always love a matte blotted look, especially one that wears away nicely, but I think I will continue my search in favour for something more warm toned. Thanks for your review!

thank you for the thorough review! i've also struggled so much with violette's brand because i've followed her from the OG days of her doing makeup at cafes. i want to love it so much but a lot of it falls short (and expensive!) and i feel like a lot of her products are easily dupable -- all except the yeux paints, which i actually really love! i do prefer the twinkly shades over the mattes. the mattes are so difficult to blend. and i'm also trying out boum boum milk for the second time and actually kind of like it this year. maybe i'll get the giant refill. thanks again

her skin care products are much better than the makeup

I’ve been curious about these products but not really sure if it would even work on my warm toned brown south Asian skin. Probably the eye shadows would work on me

When you mentioned Louise Monot, I instantly thought of the series of Bourjois commercials she starred in the early 2000s. She is so pretty and funny! She deserves a blush with her name on it.

Oh , lovely play of textures. Personally I think rom& zero tint in velvet fizz is a good color dupe for petal bouche. The formula never sets but it's mousse blurry staining formula that is excelent. Long wear non drying , velvet look and feel. I love the look of violette fr but nothing is available to me so I will live vicariously through my bobbi brown and k beauty dupes

Thank you for sharing your experience with Violette_fr. I really like Violette's beauty philosophy and learned a lot from her videos. However, her products always left me underwhelmed. The marketing is great, which made me buy them in the first place. In using the products (Boum Boum Milk Skin Mist, Bisou Balm Lip Colour, Baume Shine Highlighter, and Avec Amour Perfume), I have been left disappointed by the quality. The lip colours and highlighter had a grainy texture and flaked quite a bit. The mist did nothing special. I used a whole bottle up in my daily routine for a couple of months. The perfume smells nice and I will keep using it, but won't repurchase. I likely won't repurchase any of her products. But I will continue to watch her videos, at this point. :)

Same! Her products are so underwhelming and the fragrance in the blushes is just too much for me!

I enjoyed the Boum Boum Milk and will repurchase at some point but I want to try the Lisa Eldridge first. The Yeux paint in sparkly navy had potential but it does dry out and the sparkles crumble, but to be fair I have had it for awhile. Works better as a liner for me. The bisou balm was the absolute star for me. I loved the unique texture and finish. Not sure why they would have reformulated. I also don’t like the new shape though of course that is just aesthetics. I will repurchase when my tube is done and hope I like the new formula. I agree with others that somehow this line should be better than it is. I love Violette’s approach to makeup.

I had a rash and skin burn from the blush so I can't recommend it. I don't like the lip balm scent and taste. They could have put a little bit of vanilin in there it's far too raw. Lip balm color is cute but not worth the price.

Their red matte lipstick was such a disappointment. The color is amazing but it was the weirdest, patchiest formula. There are drugstore products far superior, so I really hope they improved that formula.
