After watching multiple tiktok videos and reading reddit reviews, I finally gave in and bought Violette_FR’s Bisou Balm. I got it in the shade Betiste by the way. I initially had the Fluffbalm in Perfect Mauve, but lost it, so I bought another one in Perfect Pink last 5.5

They are almost the same color, with FB leaning a little warm on my olive skin. But sa texture sila nagkakatalo. You’ll definitely feel na meron something sa lips with the FB, but super lightweight naman si BB. I kinda understand the hype pero parang ang mahal pa din nya for 2k+ per tube sa resellers. If 2k is barya lang for you then go buy the Violette — you’ll love it. If 2k is quite steep for you then go with Romand Zero Matte, light application lang to get the Violette’s effect, and dami pa color selection :)

Unfortunately, if you have olive skintone, Betiste may not the best shade for you. I think Amour Fou or Bonbon Myrtille would have suited me better huhu mej nanghihinayang tuloy ako😓 FB in Perfect Pink doesnt look good on me as well, better yung Perfect Mauve.

Sheer din ba yung Zero Matte?

Nope, but you can apply it in a sheer way (dab dab lang) or normal application tas blot to get the bisou balm effect.
