SMOONSTYLE

 Hello Beauty Lovers,

One of my favourite brands, LH Cosmetics, has released a cool new product: Artsticks. They are creamy, light weight multi-use sticks. The shades that I will show you can be used as a cream blush, lipstick and even on the eyes. This range also now has bronzer colors as well.

 

 

Hello there!

Recently I have found the closest dupe for my beloved Natasha Denona Mini Star Palette. Good news is that it is super affordable! I have gone through so many ND Mini Star Palettes, and at the moment they are rather difficult to get in Germany. 

ELF Cosmetics has a cute little palette called 'I love you A Latte'. My favorite shade of the ND palette is the medium brown and this ELF palette has the closest dupe for it that I could find up to this day. ND swatched on the left and ELF on the right side.

This palette is only €5,00. 

Happy Shopping!

New perfume love alert! I am in love with the Crystal Noir EDT from Versace. I can't stop wearing it! It is such a delicious scent that is an absolute no brainer. Fresh, spicy, sexy clean! I am a sucker for a clean, musky scent. 

I feel fresh and put together, whenever I wear this. I fell in love with this scent after sniffing it a couple of times at the duty free. I have to say that I prefer it to the EDP. The notes just hit me the right way :)

 

Here is a current favourite scent of mine. Musc Noir for her from Narciso Rodriguez is coziness in a bottle. It was love at first sniff. A Netflix and Chill kind scent that gives you that clean, just out of the shower and ready to unwind feeling.

This is such a big day for me! The news is out! I have my very own shade lipstick at LH COSMETCS !!!! All the beauty lovers out here know Linda Hallberg, an OG on the interwebs. She is super talented, smart gorgeous and sweet!

We have been friends for some years now and finally got to work together! One of my favorite products from her makeup brand are the Fantasticks. I have shown you 'Famous' many times. 

Kiss of Life is a beautiful 'My lips but better' shade that is a warm rosey nude with buildable coverage. You can use it on your lips and cheeks for a healthy glow. It has SPF 15, which is great to protect the sensitive skin on your lips from harmful sun rays. 

We started working on this one year ago, and now it is finally here in my hands! I still can't believe it! Who would have thought that at the beginning of my beauty blog that I would have my own shade of one of my all time favourite lipsticks? 

Thank you so much for supporting my makeup dreams her on my blog and on my Instagram! 

You can get it here: KISS OF LIFE

Should we do a little giveaway?

Happy Birthday SMOONSTYLE! I can't believe that SMOONSTYLE is now officially 12-years-old! I will have a toast with a Radler :)

My heart still beats faster for make up, fragrances and fashion, but at the moment I am super busy with Epica, the Epica Universe and also my own Photography Patreon account, on which I also blog. 

If you want to keep track of what I have been doing, you are most welcome to join my PATREON community. My blog will remain a beauty blog, where I will keep on posting from time to time. Soon we will be touring in the US, so I will probably do some beauty shopping at Ulta and Sephora ;)

Thank you all so much for following me here! I love you all!

Guess which perfumes I took with me during our tour in Mexico? The lovely 'La Selection Nomade' set from BYREDO. 3 amazing scents in a small size, perfect for travel! Well, to be exact, I took only the Bal D'Afrique with me. 

I started with Mojave Ghost and Blanche and fell in love with Bal D'Afrique sample that I had to get the Nomade set. It contains Blanche and Bal D'Afrique in 12 ml travel size. That is why I love these sample sets. It is a great way to get to know a brand. I also own another set, La Boisée, because of my first love with Byredo: Mojave Ghost. 

La Sélection Nomade is a great fit with me. Two of my favorite scents in one set. I only take small perfume refills and travel sized perfumes with me. Less weight, but like this I can still take a couple of my favourite scents with me. 

Bal D'Afrique Notes

Top: African Marigold, Bergamot, Buchu

Heart: Cyclamen, Violet

Base: Moroccan Cedarwood, Vetiver

Bal D'Afrique has such a delightful, fresh scent that is an absolute good mood transformer. I love cedar wood and vetiver. Some of my preferred notes. As I am writing this, half of the bottle is empty. If I smell it now, it reminds me of our Tour in Mexico. 

Next travels, I will take Blanche with me. Which is one of BYREDO's most popular scents. It reminds me of one of my friends, that wore this scent many years. 

Do you know BYREDO? The set is currently sold out at DOUGLAS, but will be back in stock soon!

Simone

As promised, here are the key makeup products that I used to create my stage makeup look during our show in Mexico City. I love playing around with half beads ever since I had Kika do my makeup for the OMEGA photoshoot. I use eyelash glue to stick them on my face. I have used Mastix glue before, but it is not the best for the face and especially eye area ;)
