I'm sure it's easy to tell that we're lipstick fiends here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing . We'll take any opportunity imaginable to shout about our new favorite formulas and shades—today is no different. Our entire beauty team has nothing but good things to say about French brand Violette_FR's cult-loved Petal Bouche Matte lipstick. It's so weightless and soft on the lips and stays comfortable for long periods of time. Not to mention the color payoff—I mean, wow.
Quite literally the only bad thing about this lipstick is that I'm constantly wishing for more shades. Although I'm impatient, I have serious respect for the brand because it only launches new shades of this delicious, velvety goodness (yes, it's so good I almost consider it a dessert) once a year. The newest hue to join the family is Cerise Désir, meaning "cherry desire" in French. It's sophisticated, vibrant, and definitely makes a statement.
The mastermind behind this brand, French makeup artist Violette Serrat says this one is a modern rendition of a classic burgundy shade that's reminiscent of a full-bodied red wine with a blend of dark cherry. It's easily one of the prettiest lipstick shades I've ever laid eyes on, and I cannot wait to add it to my collection.
Normally, I tend to gravitate toward more neutral, everyday lip shades, but this rich, mysterious burgundy is perfect for the holiday season. I also appreciate that this color is universally flattering. It adds a beautiful pop of color to fairer skin tones but is pigmented enough to look bright and bold on Black and Brown skin as well. Just because it's not in my nature to gatekeep, I'm listing my other favorite Petal Bouche Matte shades below.

More Violette_FR Products I Love
The matte-cream formula of this blush duo creates the perfect wash of color on the skin. As a bonus, each comes with an attached brush to easily apply and blend on the spot.
This three-in-one product combines the power of a toner, serum, and moisturizer in one. It's so soft and milky on the skin, provides instant hydration, and acts as the perfect base for makeup.
I'm a huge fan of Dieux Skin's eye masks, so when I heard the brand was collaborating with Violette_FR on this set, I was beyond excited. They're reusable and help hold eye serums and creams close to the skin for better absorption. They're so good that they're currently sold out (sad face), but I'm holding out hope that they'll restock ASAP.
This is the perfect everyday highlighter to me. It adds warmth and radiance to the skin without making you look like a disco ball. The balm is also creamy and incredibly easy to blend—it just melts into the skin.
Sérum Superlatif offers five different concentrated formulas for every skin concern, from blemishes to dullness and UV damage. Winter is usually the season where skin tends to get extra dry and your barrier can become compromised. This Skin Barrier Rescue formula offers an extra dose of protection to shield skin, restore resilience, and boost hydration.
I know not everyone likes a matte lipstick. If you fall into this camp, worry not! Violette_FR also offers this ultra-hydrating formula that's a lipstick and lip balm in one. It has a lot more glide to it, but the color payoff is still right up there with Petal Bouche.
With notes of ylang-ylang, bergamot, amber, santal, and vetiver, this floral, earthy scent is unique. As a bonus, the bottle is small enough to be carried anywhere, and you can roll it on easily.
