Eclectic Chic’s Day with Natura Bisse Barcelona
Happy Monday beauties!! You all are in for a real treat for this Eclectic Chic Makeup and Beauty Monday feature. Although the summertime is one of my favorite seasons of the year (due to the sun and frequent trips to the lake), it is also the busiest time of the year for me. I have a family full of summer birthdays, which keeps me on my toes for coming up with the perfect presents to show how much my family members mean to me. This year, I wanted to treat my mom and aunt (the birthday girl and guest of honor) to a nice relaxing spa day with luxurious facials featuring the Natura Bisse skincare products. Eclectic Chic would like to send a big “thank-you” to Michael Allison, brand ambassador of Natura Bisse, for hosting a nice event for us at Nieman Marcus and making our day so special.
There is nothing like a savory fruit and cheese platter to set the stage for a day of pampering. We rotated between indulging in our hors d’oeuvres, relaxing while enjoying our Natura Bisse facials, and getting our makeup done by an experienced makeup artist, Shuston Vincent. Thank you, Michael and Natura Bisse for paying attention to the little details and making my aunt, mom and I to feel like queens for a day.
Going back to science 101, I’m sure we all remember the first time we learned that our skin was the largest organ of our bodies. This fact has stayed with me, and I find that I am incredibly mindful of taking good care of my skin…hence, Eclectic Chic’s Makeup and Beauty Monday frequent skincare and beauty product features. I tend to take my time when deciding which new products to use on my skin, and that includes the process of looking at the ingredients on the backside of the packaging. While waiting for my aunt and mom to get their facials done, I noticed that the Natura Bisse skincare line has a lot of great ingredients in their products. (Hint: You want to make sure that Water (Aqua) is at the top of the list under ingredients in your skincare and hair care products to make sure that it favors hydration…Natura Bisse has us covered with this too).

Meet Michael Allison, Natura Bisse Brand Ambassador
Facial Time!! Treat Yourself!
I loved the way that Michael used the Natura Bisse products to gently and naturally remove the impurities from my skin to leave fresh, clean, radiant skin on my face and neckline. Check out my YouTube video below to learn more about the top products within the Natura Bisse beauty line.
Michael was so warm and welcoming. He was not only extremely knowledgeable of various products in the Natura Bisse skincare line, he also made it very easy for me to relax and enjoy this moment of self-care.
Spoiler Alert: There was an incredible body alignment that was incorporated into the experience after the facial. Ahhhh so relaxing! I nearly fell asleep, and my mom definitely fell asleep. Did you hear her snoring in the video? Mission accomplished Michael in getting myself, my mom and my aunt to feel void of any tension or stress afterwards! We’ve already scheduled our next session with him.

After each of us received our pampering facials, we were escorted to an area within Nieman Marcus where we had our makeup done by Shuston Vincent. One of my biggest frustrations is when I bring a picture or verbally describe how I want my makeup or hair to look, and then it comes out looking completely different. Shuston was so friendly and down-to-earth. My mom, aunt and I are different women and desired different makeup looks. My aunt wanted a neautral look with subtle pops of pink. My mom expressed how she would like a sultry smokey eye. I told Shuston how I wanted highlights of gold on my cheeks and pops of turquoise to line my eyelids. Shuston listened to each of our individual requests, and delivered accordingly. We could not have been happier! Thank you Shuston!!
Who’s Pretty Mama Is That? Slay!!
I know how tricky it is to find a good MUA who will get you looking and feeling beautiful before your special event or photoshoot. If you need a makeup artist, I highly recommend that you drop Shuston an email at [email protected] You can also check out more of her work on her Shuston Vincent-Professional Makeup Artist Facebook page. Don’t her clients look stunning?
I absolutely love The Cure All-In-One Cleanser: Restorative Cleansing Cream from The Cure Collection. For all of us ladies, and gents, who have dealt with the woes that come with having dry skin, finding a good face and neck cleanser can often feel like the straw that broke the camel’s back. This cleanser has a smooth, milky consistency. It has a light, subtle fragrant and feels like silk when I smooth it on my face and neck area. I’ve combined this cleanser with my Clarasonic Mia 2 during my morning and nighttime routine, and I absolutely love it! It cleans away the dirt and oil without leaving my skin feeling tight or dry. I highly recommend this product.
Natura Bisse: The Official Skincare Brand
The rb Ceutical Eye and Lip Makeup Remover is the absolute truth!! It’s the bee’s knees! Did I mention that this makeup remover is incredible? My past feelings towards makeup remover were, I’d rather wash my face an extra time, than to spend money on a makeup remover that still leaves icky traces of makeup on your face. After using this product, I have done a complete 180-degree on the way I look at makeup removers. Unlike most eye and makeup removers, it only took one application with a cotton ball to remove all traces of makeup from my eyes, cheeks and lips. Wait, what?!? I know it’s unbelievable, but you heard right. This makeup remover was gentle and highly effective. Worth. Every. Penny.
As most of you all know, the lake is my happy place. I love being out on the water soaking in this magnificent sunshine. One of the perks of living in Michigan is (no not the huge potholes or the unexpected snowstorms in the middle of March) our beautiful lakes. This summer, I made a conscious effort to go to the lakes at least once a week. My poolside and beachside companion has been the C+C Vitamin Splash. It comes in a nice, easy breezy spray bottle that lets out a consistent stream of light mist. It’s good for an after-sun spray to give your skin the necessary nutrients to offset the elements it has been exposed to. Bonus: when you spritz yourself, you instantly smell like fresh oranges.
Did any of these amazing products catch your fancy? Your key to healthy, radiant skin is one phone call or email away. Call or email Michael at 248-835-2770 or [email protected] and let him know that Lia sent you!
