SMOONSTYLE

 


The last give-away of my blog anniversary! 

It is the 9th of October, which means that I can show you the mystery give away! It is so incredibly special. Murging two of my favorite worlds together, music and make up!

The band that was my gateway into metal: Cradle of Filth. They have released an awesome eyeshadow palette with even more awesome names!

Say hello to 'Deadly Night Shades'. 9 Beautiful bright and dark shades that are vegan and cruelty free!

Some words from Dani Filth himself:

'Painting flowers white never suited my palette

 From poisonous Metallers Cradle Of Filth and VE Cosmetics comes a collaborative make-up palette forged in the very fires of Hell itself.

Thematically represented by various (and nefarious) COF album titles, each titular shade coffined therein embodies the essence of those attributed musical canvasses, granting the wearer instant bewitchment and an achingly beautiful countenance to boot.

 The grotesqueries of evil never looked so good! 
                              
 Available for bringing glamour to your human mask at… '

Deadly Night Shades

Open worldwide!!!

Self love - Fighting Spirit - Life


This is not a happy post I'm afraid. I find it kind of hard to find the right words. I tried to make a post earlier, but the time wasn't right.

A young mother of three boys has passed away two days ago. Her name is Tamara and she suffered from an incurable liver cancer. I have been following her from a distance since last year through Instagram. 

Her story has haunted me ever since. How can life be so unfair? A young mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister. We all knew that day X would come. She talked about her fate so openly on Instagram. I kept checking her profile to see if there was any news, and then I saw that her father posted that she passed away. Right on the day where we presented our new album to the press. I felt tears coming, but had to hold them back for the interviews. 

Tamara started an online campaign where she sold a beautiful necklace, with an even more beautiful meaning. It was made to raise awareness of how fragile life can be and how thankful we should be for every day that we are given. Never forget to love yourself, always keep on fighting and enjoy life no matter what happens. 

The proceeds went to the DKMS and to her family, her sons and husband. I bought two necklaces, one for myself and one for a friend who was battling cancer and who is now cancer free luckily.

The first photo in this post I made on the day that she died. I was traveling back to Germany and the rain drops on the window were lit by the lanterns on the street. They created this beautiful effect. Like little drops of light, just like all the stars in the sky. 

I wish Tamara's family and friends a lot of strength in this difficult time. My heart breaks for them. I am thankful for having contact with her and for her reminding me how precious life is.

RIP Tamara 

The beautiful 'Herzmädchen' necklace

Meet NOMADE from Chloé.


'A member of a people or tribe that has no permanent abode but moves about from place to place'.


A new perfume has made its way into my collection. When a friend of mine came to visit me, I immediately noticed her perfume and of course complimented her on her lovely scent.

Besides the mesmerising scent, the name of the perfume appealed to me. In a way I feel a bit like a nomade, traveling with my band around the world, living everywhere and nowhere. I felt that there was a deep connection somehow.

First step for me was to not immediately purchase the perfume. Always try it on your skin first.
I went to the store to test the perfume, to see if it would fit me and how it would develop on my skin during the day. 

There are three versions of Nomade, an Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette and  Nomade Absolu Eau de Parfum. I tried all three and found the Eau de Parfum to fit me the best. 

I purchased the perfume online in the smallest size, 20ml for about €20,00 
This is safe way to try new perfumes and don't break the bank. If you still love it after a while, you can always buy a bigger bottle ;)  NOMADE 20ml

  1. Top Notes
    • Freesia
  2. Heart Notes
    • Mirabelle plum liquor
  3. Base notes
    • Oakmoss 


    My plan was to take photos of 'Nomade' during my holidays at the Bodensee, but I completely forgot about it. I was busy enjoying my holiday ;)

    Last weekend we enjoyed a sunny day in the city center of Stuttgart and I took the perfume with me to take photos of it at the fountain at the Schlossplatz. When I was done, I enjoyed the sunset while the little water droplets from the fountain were landing on my back. It was a beautiful day! I love Stuttgart!

Monday is here and I am on a roll! Lot's of exciting things to do this week! I will tell you more about all of that as soon as possible.

Now it is time to talk about my fashion fail that kind of in a way spoiled a photoshoot. For my giveaway month I wanted to make some lovely photos to show you the mini bag from Camys Concept.

I thought long about which dress would look great with the bag and I decided to go with the white dress from Asos. The only problem is that it is a bit see through, the back is quite low and the front is shaped like a halter top. Which bra to wear?

Those stick on bras are ok, but not for hot sweaty days. Strapless bras are my way to go normally, but the one that I chose to wear was showing all the time during the whole shoot.... Total fashion fail. I don't want to spend hours editing the hell out of all the photos, I have other things to do this week ;)

You can see my bra on the last photo, a very sexy grandma bra that normally looks good with other outfits.

Next time, different bra :)

The sun is setting sooner, the crunchy leaves alongside the road and the crispy air,  tell me that summer will soon make way for autumn. When I look out of my window, I can see that the forest is changing color. 

These past days were all about savouring the last, warm summer days of the year. We are lucky to have some sunny days where we can still wear our favourite summer clothes before it is time to dive into our clothing closets and reach for our cozy sweaters. 

I love to just wear a dress, throw on some sandals and be ready to leave the house. Each season has its treasures for us, but summer and spring are my favourite seasons.

What is your favourite season?

Mini bags are my favourite kind of bags. Just throw in your essentials (keys, wallet, phone, face mask) and nothing more.  The bigger the bag, the more you will fill it with unnecessary things and end up with a hernia. Trust me, I speak from experience! I am an 'overpacker' to say the least ;)

Last year I got to know the brand Camys Concept. They offer functional products in a minimalistic style all made out of vegan leather 100% polyurethane. 

I fell in love with the bright red mini bag. This is the perfect pop of color that I like to add to my look. I wear a lot of black and this together with a red lipstick will look effortlessly chique and timeless.

Do you want to win one of these super cute mini bags from Camys Concept?
All you need to do is leave a comment and tell me what your absolute essentials are that you always carry with you.

This give away is world wide! Winner will be announced on the 28th of September.

Good luck!

Ben je op zoek naar een veilige website om professionele refurbished iPhones te kopen of te verkopen?
Dan is Swappie wat voor jou! Hier kan je refurbished iPhones kopen die door een professioneel team door middel van een 52-delig stappenplan gecontroleerd en repareert worden voordat ze in een kwaliteitscategorie worden geplaatst. 

Bij Swappie je telefoon te bestellen is een veilige en eenvoudige manier om online een telefoon te kopen zonder dat je gescamt wordt. Je krijgt 24 maanden garantie en hebt het recht om de telefoon binnen 14 dagen terug sturen.De telefoon wordt geleverd met een oplaadkabel en een SIM verwijderaar.


Duurzaam

De telefoons van tegenwoordig hebben een korte houdbaarheid omdat ze al binnen 1-2 jaar door consumenten worden gewisseld worden. 85% CO2 is afkomstig uit het productieproces, hiervoor worden talloze zeldzame mineralen gemijnd. Swappie wil de hoeveelheid aan afgedankte materialen en de belasting op het milieu verminderen door gebruikte iPhones te refurbishes, zodat ze van binnen weer zo goed als nieuw werken.



Betaalbaar

Wanneer je de prijs van een nieuwe telefoon vergelijkt met een tweedehands iPhone van Swappie kan je wel to 40% besparen. Dit is afhankelijk van het model en de kwaliteitscategorie. Je kan al vanaf €179 een refurbished iPhone kopen.


Ervaring

Ik heb zelf de iPhone 11 Pro Max besteld 256 besteld omdat ik veel fotografeer en ook videos maak die ik voor een deel ook op mijn telefoon bewerk. Daar vind ik een wat groter scherm heel fijn. Het is ook zeer handing voor het kijken van filmen op streaming sites. Jullie weten allemaal dat ik een enorme movie freak ben. Mijn ervaring met Swappie is zeer positief. Super snelle levering van de telefoon die ik via DHL kon volgen en hele vriendelijke klantenservice. 

Korting

Ik heb voor jullie een €10 kortingscode die geldig is in Nederland en Duitsland : simonesimons10  


Happy shopping!








English

Swappie

Are you on the hunt for a refurbished iPhone? Look no further! I have the perfect website for you.
Let me introduce you to  Swappie , a webshop that offers professionally refurbished iPhones. Here you can easily and safely buy an iPhone and also sell your own iPhone. All phones have to go through a 52 step procedure before they are ready to be sold again and put into one of the quality categories.

You'll get 24 months guarantee and a 14 day return policy. With the iPhone you also get a charging cable and a sim card remover pin.


Sustainable

Nowadays people exchange their phones after 1 to 2 years. 85% of CO2 is coming from the production of the phones which isn't good for our environment. Swappie wants to help to diminish this by refurbishing iPhones so they will be as good as new and ready to go to a new home.

Affordable

If you compare the price of a new phone to a second hand refurbished one you can safe up to 40%. This depends on the model and state of the phone that you want to buy. 

Experience

I myself got the iPhone 11 Pro Max with 256 GB because a lot of my work involves photography and video and I love to edit on my phone as well. A bigger screen is making all of that much easier. 
Some of you guys might know that I am a movie freak and love to watch movies on streaming sites. 
It does make quite a difference to my 'smaller' old phone. 
My experience with Swappie is very positive. The phone was delivered swiftly and the customer service is top notch!

Discount

I have a discount code for you! With the code  simonesimons10  you will get €10 off.

Happy shopping!

During my holiday we paid a visit to Marino to see his new salon, do a quick portrait shoot and get our hair trimmed. His three dogs Floortje, Elsa and Elly welcomed us with open paws. Floortje sat on my lap while I had my hair done and Vincent fell in love with Elsa.

Marino and I have know each other for many years. The first time we worked together was for a calendar shoot in 2008 if my memory serves me well. He has cut my hair numerous times and also styled it for live shows and photo shoots. I can't wait for you all to see the new Epica photos ;)

Marino Lambrix




Meet Marino Lambrix


Oliver loves the Grave before Shave beard balms. They smell lovely too!





Oli with freshly cut hair. 



Oli is exhausted and needs his beauty sleep before getting his hair cut. He prefers to sleep next to the doggies.


My turn! Me and my messy, unwashed with split ends that are about to be chopped off. So exciting!


 You can see that my hair was growing into a point. This time I wanted to have my hair cut more straight. This was the ends will also appear fuller. He cut only minimal layers in my hair and he trimmed my face framing layers a bit.


Time to say goodbye to the split ends :)




Before my appointment I talked to Marino to maybe cut curtain bangs.... I decided not to because I am a lazy bum when it comes to styling my hair. I always tuck the front of my hair behind my ears anyway. I hate it when hair is in my face. Don't worry, you can trust Marino with your hair ;)



Here is the finished end result. So fresh, so clean! Marino chopped off the pointy part and smoothed out my hair with the Split Ender. Now you are asking yourself, what is a Split Ender? It is a really cool device to get rid of the split hair that are hiding in the full length of the hair, not just the ends. It may appear scary, but he knows how to use it and I trust him ;)




Give Away Time 



Would you like to have your hair cut and styled by Marino? Now is your chance!
Marino has reserved two appointments in his calendar for two of my loyal Smoonstyle followers. Isn't that the sweetest? 

I thought it would be nice if I offer something for the guys as well. Marino offers grooming sessions for the men. Don't be shy guys, this is your chance to win a cool give away :)

Marino's salon is located in Lummen, Belgium. If you are interested in entering this give away, keep in mind that you will have to travel to the salon. Travel expenses are not compensated.

All you need to do is leave a comment in the blog. One comment per person please :)

The winners will be announced on the 16th of September.


Good luck!
