  1. Hi!
    Congratulations, this blog is just amazing!

    I love the fact that I see you on stage (lately, at Graspop Metal Meeting, what a great show!) and then, here with your life, your make-up styles, your pictures,...

    But what I prefer the most is you show us we can be feminine, beautiful and a metalhead and that redheads can wear a lot of different colours make-up (because, it can seems stupid, but I was scared to put colours on my face before I discover your blog)

    I wish you the best for your baby and you!
    Hope to see you on stage again!

  3. My favourite articles are the one from your trips around the world, cause it's very interesting to see all the beautiful places you've visited. I also loved your movie make-up series, I hope you'll do something like that again some day.

  6. Gefeliciteerd met je blog! Drie jaar is alweer een flinke tijd!

    Ik hou van de afwisselende dingen die voorbij komen op je blog. Ik ben sowieso een groot fan van jou en Epica, dus om daar foto's van te zien vind ik altijd super leuk. Maar ook het kijkje in je persoonlijke leven vind ik leuk te zien. De artikelen die je schrijft over beauty, vind ik ook heel leuk, want ik ben nogal een beauty-addict (draag jouw MAC Chatterbox met heel veel plezier!) En tja, jouw kledingstijl spreekt mij ook helemaal aan, dus als er een outfit voor bij komt bekijk ik dat ook altijd eventjes.

    Maar als ik moet kiezen uit de bovenste dingen wat ik echt het leukst vind, is het het kijkje in je persoonlijke leven en dat van Epica. Dat is toch uniek en heel mooi om te zien.

    Well i can't decide between the photographs, the make-up posts, the fashion posts, or the travel posts, because it doesn't matter the topic they all show us the real you, what you love, what you like and all the things you appreciate. I think what i love the most about your blog is to know you in each post and realize that you are amazing outside and inside too.Congrats for these 3 years of SmoonStyle and of course for your pregnancy too, i'm sure you're going to be a wonderful mother.

  12. Congrats Simone :D

    I love everything about Smoon Style, cause I'm a big fan of you and this blog, somehow, makes you closer to your fans ;)

    But I have a special love for all the beauty tips you give us, about hair, make up and nice products you have been using.

    Ps.: you look gorgeous in your pregnancy, congratulations for you and Oliver ;)

  13. Hello dear:

    What I most like from SMOONSTYLE is that we have the oportunity to have the most beutiful pics of you, you are one of the few people who share your likes and through that way I've learned about make up (I just love the topic!) places, beauty, tastes, fashion,etc... and I really like the work you do with the camera. You are an inspiration to me, not only with epica when I listen to your music to desing (I'm an architecture student, but also at the moment to take the final proyect, cuase it is very important to look good.

    Simone thaks a lot for share with us all that things, been a metalhead doesn't mean that we can't enjoy the wonderful girlies world, and thanks for that beautiful 3 years :)that makes me love your blog (I thong that I'm missing something haha).

    Love you,
    Liz.

  14. Hey, Simone! I love everything about the blog, but YOUR TRIPS are the best. I'd love to travel more, since I've only left Brazil once, and you've been to really heavenly places I'd love to meet.

    I also (and of course) love your "Schminken" tips (mein Deutsch ist ein bischen "kaputt", aber ich versuche zu verstehen was sagen Sie in Ihren videos. Hoffe nicht viele fehler gemacht habe!), especially the ones for the eyes.

    I loved one QVC video where you used a kajal and a golden eyeshadow: so beautiful! Anyway, congratulations on smoon's 3th birthday! Wish you and your family all the best!

    Mariana.

  16. What I like most are the fashion and beauty tips. What I adore most are the pics and stories of your travels. What I love most is the entire blog, with all together. Everything here is good and special. The new look of the blog! Wow! So stylish/sweet/easy to read.
    I like/adore/love the surprise posts I kind have when I have the idea to come here... and you. hahaha Linda! :3

  17. This has generated alot of discussion, I hope you will read my comment in the swarm of others. It may seem strange to have male fans of your blog, so I'd like to articulate myself properly to explain myself. What I love about Smoonstyle is that you let your personality shines through, there is only one of you & so many of us fans. It's a brilliant way for you to share a bit of your life with us. There is only so much I can learn about you from interviews, sharing things like pictures from your holidays & travel stories let us get a better idea of the kind of person you are, I really enjoyed your story about the crowded train in Amsterdam a few years back. It melts away the idea that some people have about you that you're a diva. I appreciate that you continue to do what you're passionate about, despite fools who harassed you & brutally trolled you because of your passions, you're still not afraid to not conform to a stereotypical metal head image.

    My favourite types of posts you do are any that are related to Epica & travelling ones. In a way I also appreciate your talent as a make up artist. The music is what is most important to me, but I must admit that you look incredibly beautiful on stage on, live videos & when I saw Epica in Glasgow. I'm assuming it's hard to make yourself look fresh while being sleep deprived on long tours.

    Thank you for pouring your love, dedication & time into your blog over the past 3 years. It seems like just yesterday that you were a young girl, barely out of school. Now you're one of the best in the metal scene. This blog is like an archive to a large portion of that transition.

    Also, please don't include me in the prize draw, I don't mean to sound ungrateful or rude. I'm a guy, so I'd have no use for cosmetics.

  18. I love reading epica news, your photos and your make up looks

  19. What I like most on SmoonStyle is come to know that one of the sirens of Metal is also a true woman. You, Simone, showed us that it's possible listen to Metal and be a fashionist and happy woman.

    It's 6/9 so i'm not sure if the competition is still running but it's ok.
    I just really - really want to give some wishes and say why i love this blog so much!
    The first video that i saw from Epica,-like 5 years ago- was "Solitary Ground".
    I was really captured by your voice, the music and the lyrics.
    Of course i'm a big fan of Epica for many years..
    Since then,i always wondered about your beauty secrets,your make up,but then i realized that it wasn't just that! It was the that instant thought that came to my mind when i looked at you. For me, the message was clear.
    Through your songs and the beauty secrets that you share with us you make me realize how important it is to have confidence,self - respect,to have strength and to show to the world our real inner beauty.. And that's what is the most important thing that i learned from you!
    So happy Birthday Smoonstyle! Simone i wish you the best! I truly admire you. :)

  24. I like the make up, cause I can to know what products you recommends, and I love to read the news about your travels and see your gorgeous photographs.

    Congratulations for the 3 years!!! ;-*

    Sorry for the bad English

  25. Ik hoop dat ik op tijd ben!
    Van harte met je blog! Ik vind het zo leuk voor u.
    Het leukste wat ik aan deze blog vind.. nouja, om heel eerlijk te zijn, ik wist een poos terug niet eens dat je überhaupt een blog had en was vooral groot fan van u als zangeres. Toen ik erachter kwam dat (net als ik, maar slechts amateur) u als zangeres ook nog eens gek bent op beauty, net als ik, werd ik wildenthousiast. Het is gewoon zo tof dat iemand die mij alleen al in muziek inspireert, nu dat ook op beauty oppervlak doet. Ik denk altijd dat wij zomaar zusjes hadden kunnen zijn, haha ;D. Nu is dat wel een beetje overdreven. Maar stiekem mag ik dat wel denken, toch?^^ Anyway, geniet van het 3 jarig bestaan van uw blog en van uw zwangerschap. Take care! :3

  29. Wow, I've been following your blog since the very beggining and I can't believe 3 years have passed already!:) with this blog I started admiring you as a person too, instead of just an artist. I like to read your posts because they are always interesting and with good taste, in spite of the subject, and I appreciate the way you share a little bit of your lifestyle with your readers! It's hard to pick a favourite category, but I really love your photography posts, including travelling and landscapes. I wish the best for you and your family and I hope to keep reading a lot of Smoonstyle in the following years :)

  30. I like you the most!!!! You are wonderful! You are such a lady in the cruel rock music world!

    ReplyDelete
  31. What I like most about your blog is that even though you make the world of music, you know also bring in a fun way the more feminine side of all this, and the manner in which you approach and presents new products, reviews, makeup I believe that make us feel closer to Simone Simons (at least to me) like a b-side on the same disc, and this "b-side" is understood and shared by most people (girls) who read the blog (at least I believe it to be so), because we are part of that "world" and we also have our own "b-side".

    I hope and wish to Smoonstyle, many, many years of life!! Surely there is much to celebrate, and thank you for sharing your experiences and opinions with us!! :)

  32. I follow the blog from the beginning ... Love it! I would like you to do a retrospective of her pregnancy (I realized that does not talk much about it!), With simple things like sensations, desires, expectations, and of course with pictures to accompany the growth of your child (yes, I think it will be a boy!)

    That's what I want to see on the blog!

    kisses.. ;)

  33. Can I still join it? I like the pics of you, meanly your trips :)

  34. Congratulations Simone! I always look forward to your posts, particularly when you do particular looks and give the products you used. I love seeing your photo's from your travels too, so many places I'd love to see. Best wishes to you and your new little family.
    Kind regards
    Nicola

  36. Thank you for this reviews about new products. Its very helpful to choose good products that can be included in ma fashion room.

  37. Oh! I didn't know about this contest and I know its over, but can I still tell you what I like best anyway? I love all the makeup looks of course!

    You inspired me to get more creative with my makeup and to finally branch out from "safe" looks. When going out with friends, my makeup was always so dull and just nothing special.

    When I entered your North American makeup meet & greet contest, I started practicing nearly every day and I think that's how I finally started to get the hang of some techniques. I'm still learning, but I know I'm doing well with new "night" looks because I've been getting tons of compliments from my girlfriends :D

    I especially love going all out with glamorous makeup to metal concerts now... It's so refreshing to get makeup tips from a fashionista metalhead. Like me!

    \m/ (^0^) \m/

    Thanks Simone!

  38. Hey Simone

    first I want to congratulate you for this three years as well for the success with your music and your passion for fashion. I have probably read every single post you did in here. But this is the first time I actually comment on one of your posts. I thought about it before but now as you request our opinion:
    Since about five years I am up to date with what you (and as well your band Epica) are doing around the globe. Here in Switzerland Epica is rarely known and this is why I don't know other people who share the love to your music with me. But who cares :)
    I founded a rock band with my schoolmates when I was only ten years old and I started singing there 'cause I always liked doing that in school very much. So that was my first 'singer' job ;-) except to one year I never really had singing lessions because I couldn't afford it and as well I had the ambition to teach myself. My vocal teacher for this one year once asked me whether I had an idol in vocal/musical belongings. And I was like.... no?! Over quite a long time I never had something like idols. But someday I started to listening to Nightwish (I knew them from a friend when I was about 14) and later to Epica. I started to research about your carreer and always kept up to date with your work. That was actually the first time I really had a favourite band. I didn't know that before. I started to sing along with your songs and found out that this sound was indeed exactly what fitted my voice. Problem: I was a really untaught singer and I must have (and probably still do) annoyed my family quite often with my 'singing' ;-)
    I have been over the years working hard on my vocal techniques and my vocal range. You became my 'idol' because I followed the developpement of your voice and yourself as a human being and you made me realize that getting great is not a thing of one day to the other but a thing of hard work and never stoping going on and on whatever all the haters on the world may say about you. And as well: you're never finished.
    Your blog has again and again shown me that in live you must find a balance between strong efforts and enjoying life and love. And how to follow your passion. Thanks for that Simone!
    And to end up: maybe I'm gonna buy VIP tix the next time you come to Switzerland so we could talk. I never did that before even though I would have liked to do.
    As well good luck with Oliver and your baby :) I was so happy when I saw you were pregnant at the Retrospect Show, I had a huge smile during the show ;-)
    I have no clue whether I am a suscriber of your blog. Hopefully I am :P

    Have a great baby-time! And I look really foreward to the journey to Munich in November (I'm gonna see the Retrospect Cinema Premier in the Matthäser Kino)!

    Maybe we see eachother one day and maybe not. But I wish you all the best and as much selfconfidence as you had up to today :)

    Kisses
    Jana
