Violette_FR has two holiday 2026 gift sets arriving at Sephora, and both focus on what the French brand does best: lips. One is a trio of mini lip treatments. The other pairs two full-size products in the cult-favourite shade Bêtise. Both are limited edition and online only at Sephora US, so if they're on your list (or your wish list), here's what you need to know.
Les Petites Mini Balm Amour Trio
Balm Amour is Violette_FR's balm-meets-treatment for lips, rated 4.7/5 on the brand's site. Reviewers praise its rich, silky, non-sticky feel and its soft vanilla scent.
The Les Petites set contains three mini tinted Balm Amour tubes in these shades:
- Rose Latte: a soft pink
- Noisette: a chocolate brown
- Aïssa: a berry-plum
The set costs $32.00. Sephora lists its value at $34.00. For comparison, one full-size Balm Amour costs $26 on Violette_FR's site, so the trio is a low-cost way to try three shades. Minis also fit easily in coats, clutches and stockings.
Bouche Duo Bêtise Edition
Bêtise (pronounced bae-teaz) is named after a traditional French mint candy. It's Violette_FR's best-selling warm berry shade and keeps selling out. The Bouche Duo includes two full-size products in this shade, in festive packaging decorated with cherries and pink macarons:
- Bisou Balm: a sheer matte lipstick crossed with a hydrating balm. It gives a soft-focus, blurred "bouche mordue" (just-bitten lips) finish.
- Lip Nectar: a glossy, hydrating lip stain with squalane, shea butter, ceramides and hyaluronic acid. The brand says the colour lasts up to 8 hours without feeling sticky.
The duo costs $43.00. Bought separately, the two products would cost $59 ($30 for Bisou Balm plus $29 for Lip Nectar), so you save $16.
How to Wear Them Together
- Prep first. Bisou Balm has a matte finish, so apply Balm Amour (or any balm) first. Let it sink in for a few minutes, then blot with a tissue.
- Create a blurred look. Swipe Bisou Balm slightly past your natural lip line, then smudge the edges with a fingertip.
- Build up a stain. Apply Lip Nectar to your bottom lip, then your top lip. Wait up to two minutes for the colour to develop. Blot between coats if you want more intensity.
- Layer the formulas. Reviewers like using a light layer of Bisou Balm under Lip Nectar, which makes the stain stand out more once the shine fades.
- Bring back the shine. When Lip Nectar's gloss wears off, add a clear balm on top.
