LOEWE NANO PUZZLE BAG | Review + How To Style

Loewe 001 woman perfume, tom ford aviator sunglasses, white loewe nano puzzle bag review youtube blog post outfit ideas street style_2846.jpg

The Loewe Nano Puzzle bag launched earlier this year and if I’m being honest, I wasn’t feeling it at first. Wild coming from someone who loves Loewe bags and owns two Puzzle bags, right?

Well, that all changed when I decided to order it last month. I had just sold a few items from my closet and felt that it was time for a new bag - enter the Nano Puzzle.

Since getting the Nano, I haven’t stopped wearing it. The soft white calf leather goes well with my wardrobe and adds a nice pop to my outfits.

SHOP SMALL LOEWE BAGS

Even though the size is teeny tiny (approx. 5" length x 3.25" height x 2" width), it surprisingly fits a good amount of stuff. In my YouTube review on the Nano Puzzle, I showed that it fits a cardholder, hand sanitizer, hand cream, lipstick, and small perfume bottle comfortably. It doesn’t fit an iPhone or a pair of sunglasses because the bag isn’t wide enough - but I’m okay with that.

I should mention that for daily use I don't use my cardholder with the Nano. I just let my debit and credit cards roam free in the bag. This allows for more space to be freed up, and it’s easier to get things in and out.

SHOP WHITE BAGS UNDER $460

Overall, the Loewe Nano Puzzle bag has been a great addition to my closet. It’s a fun little bag to wear and the palladium chain adds a chic touch.

JO MALONE'S New Marmalade Collection is Everything I Expected & More

Jo Malone Marmalade collection review, tangy rhubarb, rose blush, orange peel, elderflower cordial, blackberry and bay, woahstyle.com - nathalie martin_1635.jpg

From the charming ceramic bottle to the vintage-styled blue font, the Jo Malone Marmalade collection has to be one of my favourite fragrance releases this season.

The five limited-edition perfumes, Tangy Rhubarb, Rose Blush, Elderflower Cordial, Orange Peel, and Blackberry & Bay capture summer in a bottle. Think nostalgia and marmalade dreams. Everything and anything that makes summer pleasing.

Admittedly when I first heard of the collection I had questions. What does rhubarb smell like? How about elderflower?

In this post, I break down the main accords and fragrance notes to help you determine which scent is for you.

And in case you're wondering, my faves are Tangy Rhubarb, followed by Elderflower Cordial. I could wear those two scents every day and not grow tired of them. In actuality, the entire collection is incredible.

TANGY RHUBARB COLOGE

Main Accords: Citrus. Green. Fruity.

The unmistakable tang of rhubarb.

This cologne is tart but it comes across green. It also feels like it has a floral vibe thanks to the zesty orange and cedarwood.

Top note: Rhubarb. Tart and green, the crunchiness of rhubarb brings a striking and bold character.
Heart note: Orange. Bitter-fresh, it suffuses the fragrance with a zesty bite.
Base note: Cedarwood. Its woody, dry character imbues the base with charismatic intensity.

ELDERFLOWER CORDIAL COLOGNE

Main Accords: Fruity. Sweet. Floral.

A soft, powdery floral scent.

Elderflower is complemented by hawthorn, mixed with the tartness of summer thanks to the green gooseberry top note.

Top note: Gooseberry. Fruity and tart, the gooseberry accord opens the fragrance with a crisp, piquant edge.
Heart note: Elderflower. This soft, countryside floral accord characterises the fragrance with its enchanting delicacy.
Base note: Dried Fruits. A delicious syrup note that wraps the fragrance in a luxuriously rich texture.

ROSE BLUSH COLOGNE

Main Accords: Rose. Floral. Woody.

This scent is light and feels well-rounded thanks to the note of juicy lychee, vibrant basil, and base note of white musk.

Top note: Basil. The herbaceous warmth of basil, with a peppery edge, brings an unexpected twist to the fresh floral character of Rose.
Heart note: Rose. As the fragrance unfurls, this opulent floral infusion with pure petally, honey facets it wraps the scent with sumptuous naturality.
Base note: White Musk. Powdery and clean, it enhances the trail of the scent, adding a softness that endures.



BLACKBERRY & BAY COLOGNE

Main Accords: Fruity. Sweet. Woody.

This unisex scent is tangy and green with blackberry cutting through in the most delightful way.

Top note: Blackberry. Releasing an instant burst of juiciness, natural blackcurrant buds add a fruity, slightly tart accent, while bucco tree essence suggests the lively, crunchy-green character of blackberry leaves.
Heart note: Bay Leaf. An accord based on the natural note of galbanum it brings vegetal brightness and a wonderful green quality to the fragrance.
Base note: Cedar. Its woody, dry character imbues the base with charismatic intensity.

ORANGE PEEL COLOGNE

Main Accords: Citrus. Woody.

This is a citrus aromatic scent for women and men - although it smells more masculine to me. It's fresh and vibrant, reminiscent of summer days by the ocean.

Top note: Orange Peel.
Heart note: Bitter Orange.
Base note: Cashmere Wood.

3 CHANEL Small Flap Outfit Ideas

Small vintage CHANEL double flap review and size comparison - how to style it, how to wear chanel casually - woahstyle.com 1.jpg

Here the CHANEL small flap bag is worn with criss cross charcoal jeans, a black t-shirt, layered with a classic trench coat (H&M $120) and a striped knit sweater worn over the shoulders.

Think outside of the box and style your knit over the shoulders for a different look this spring.

This look is more contemporary and streamlined and is my take on streetwear. I paired a black hoodie, black leggings, and a pair of Chelsea-style rain boots with my trench coat for a casual look. The addition of the CHANEL bag elevates the outfit and suddenly it shifts from basic to chic.

This look is another take on streetwear. I paired leggings with an oversized button down shirt, a black blazer, and New Balance 990v5 sneakers. It’s the perfect pairing for a small CHANEL bag, don’t you think?

TESTED: Fenty Beauty's New Eaze Drop Skin Tint. A Minimalist Makeup Dream.

Rihanna Wears Fenty Beauty EAZE Drop Skin Tint.jpeg

Fenty Beauty's latest product is everything you need right now. The Eaze Drop Blurry Skin Tint is a light coverage tinted moisturizer that leaves your skin looking natural - but like a better version of your skin.

It's perfect for those days when you have to jump on Zoom meetings but you don't want to put on a full face of foundation.

Eaze Drop's liquid formulation blends like a dream with a makeup sponge, brush, or fingers and leaves the skin looking dewy and radiant. In a nutshell, it's a minimalist makeup dream come true.

Available in 25 shades from Light to Deep, Fenty's Eaze Drop Blurry Skin Tint is available at Sephora for $39 CAD.

THE REVIEW

For starters, I'm a big fan of tinted moisturizers and light coverage makeup. Typically I only wear foundation if I'm in front of the camera or if I have an event, which are all now being conducted virtually these days due to the pandemic.

The packaging for Eaze Drop has a cute shape and the plastic squeezable bottle is similar to that of my other favourite tinted moisturizer from Chanel’s Les Beiges line.

The liquid formula from Eaze Drop is sheer enough so there's a little bit of flexibility with the 25 available shades. (For reference, I'm shade 5, a light-medium shade with warm undertones.)

I love how the texture feels light and smoothes over my skin easily. It also doesn't enhance pores, fine lines, or textures.

Due to the sheer nature of Eaze Drop, I like to use a medium coverage concealer like Fenty's Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Concealer around my under eyes and dark spots to cover up blemishes. That way I get coverage where I need it and the rest of my skin looks natural.

Considering I have combination skin (oily t-zone, normal cheeks), I have to set Eaze Drop with powder otherwise my natural face oils will just melt my makeup away. Sometimes I'll use a setting spray, but I find the makeup stays put either way as long as I set it with powder.

Other than the long-lasting formula, I like that this makeup doesn't settle into my pores, fine lines, nor does it enhance dry patches on my skin.

Overall, this is a brilliant tinted moisturizer that will be replacing my Chanel Les Beiges Tint this summer.

If you're looking for a quick and easy to apply makeup with a natural finish you'll probably want to check out Fenty's Eaze Drop. If you prefer a medium-full coverage makeup, skip it and try Fenty's Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation instead and you won't be disappointed.

LOEWE PERFUME REVIEW

LOEWE PERFUME REVIEW 001 man and woman, Agua fragrance - woahstyle.com_9959.jpg

Spanish luxury house, Loewe, has completely won me over in the last couple of years.

From their handcrafted leather handbags to their beautifully constructed clothes, I just want to wrap myself in everything Loewe.

That dream is becoming more of a reality with the expansion of Loewe Perfumes.

With a variety of scents for men and women, Loewe has characterized the collection into seven fragrance families for women; Solo, Aire, Aura, Agua, 001, Paula's Ibiza, and Un Paseo Por Madrid (which translates into "A Walk Through Madrid"). And six fragrance families for men; Solo, Loewe 7, Pour Homme, Esencia, 001, and Agua.

In this post, we'll be reviewing four Loewe fragrances - 001 and Agua, for men and women.

Keep reading to learn more.

LOEWE PERFUME REVIEW 001 man and woman, Agua fragrance - woahstyle.com_9950.jpg

LOEWE 001 is a family of fragrances inspired by new beginnings and early morning light capturing the essence of the morning after a couple has spent the night together. 001 are fragrances to share and be worn together or alone.

Fresh and contemporary, LOEWE 001 Woman combines notes of musk, linen, and pink peony. 

The top notes include bright and sparkling, fresh citrus with bergamot, and tangerine. The heart has Egyptian jasmine with a touch of clean linen accompanied by sandalwood to warm up the scent. The modern heart feels fresh, floral, and fruity, making this scent truly unique. 

LOEWE PERFUME REVIEW 001 man and woman, Agua fragrance - woahstyle.com_9936.jpg

LOEWE 001 Woman is a gourmand scent. The perfume comes encapsulated by a clean, translucent glass block-shaped flask in a shade of pale yellow topped with a wooden cap.

Top Notes: Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Tangerine.
Heart Notes: Sandalwood, Egyptian Jasmine, Linen Chord.
Base Notes: Musk, Vanilla, Amber.

LOEWE PERFUME REVIEW 001 man and woman, Agua fragrance - woahstyle.com_9953.jpg

LOEWE 001 Man is a woody, spicy fragrance characterized by the elegance of lavender at the heart and the strength of musk at the base notes.

Still, 001 Man feels fresh and energetic due to the Sicilian lemon and lime, balanced by the softness of the orange flower and a hint of tonka bean making this one of my favourite Loewe scents.

LOEWE 001 Man combines notes of musk, sandalwood, and lavender. The scent comes encapsulated by a clean, translucent glass block-shaped flask topped with a wooden cap.

Top Notes: Sicilian Lemon, Lime, Orange Blossom.
Heart Notes: Red Pepper, Ceylan Cinnamon, Lavender.
Base Notes: Sandalwood, Musk, Tonka Bean.



LOEWE PERFUME REVIEW 001 man and woman, Agua fragrance - woahstyle.com_9977.jpg

Agua is a family of fragrances by Loewe inspired by water. (Agua means water in Spanish.)

Agua Ella (for Her) is a feminine and dynamic fragrance that combines notes of lemon, rose, and waterlily.

The top note of lemon comes through but it doesn't feel citrusy. It's rounded off by the heart notes of pineapple (which comes through subtly), complemented by green apple, and cassis which makes this scent feel sparkling and fresh. 

Sandalwood and cedar are at the base. They ground Agua Ella, making it a chic and sophisticated fragrance that's easy to wear for both day and night. 

While normally I'm drawn to warmer scents, Agua Ella has to be my personal favourites of the four Loewe scents featured in this post. 

LOEWE PERFUME REVIEW 001 man and woman, Agua fragrance - woahstyle.com_9992.jpg

LOEWE Agua Ella comes encapsulated in a translucent glass flask in natural shade of pink topped with a wooden cap.

Top Notes: Kumquat, Italian Lemon, Italian Bergamot, Passion Fruit.
Heart Notes: Bourbon Pepper, Rose Petals, Water Lily.
Base Notes: Sandalwood from Mysore, Atlas Cedar, Musk.

LOEWE PERFUME REVIEW 001 man and woman, Agua fragrance - woahstyle.com_9970.jpg

LOEWE Agua Él (for Him) combines notes of grapefruit, green apple, and pineapple – an ingredient that lends a tropical touch, however, I find Él to be more refreshing and clean than tropical, which typically makes me think of summer scents such as coconut and hibiscus. 

Él translates into Him in Spanish and yet this scent isn't overly masculine in the traditional sense. The beauty of Loewe scents is that they can be worn together and layered regardless of gender.

LOEWE PERFUME REVIEW 001 man and woman, Agua fragrance - woahstyle.com_0016.jpg

LOEWE Agua Él comes encapsulated in a translucent glass flask in a cool shade of blue topped with a wooden cap.

Top Notes: Japanese Yuzu, Italian Bergamot, Tangerine, Pink Grapefruit.
Heart Notes: Pineapple from Brazil, Spring Water, Green Apple, Cassis.
Base Notes: Sandalwood from Mysore, Atlas Cedar, Olm Oak Moss, Musk.

LOEWE PERFUME REVIEW 001 man and woman, Agua fragrance - woahstyle.com_9964.jpg

Now that I’ve had the change to experience some of Loewe’s perfumes for myself, I can say with full honesty that I’m dying to get my hands on their home fragrances and candles next.

LOEWE perfumes can be found at selected Holt Renfrew and holtrenfrew.com starting at $110-$205.

Treating My Dry Hair with Baobab Essence

This post was sponsored by Pantene.

Treating My Dry Hair with Baobab Essence woahstyle.com by Nathalie Martin 01.jpg

I’ve always taken good care of my hair, however with fewer trims and dry conditions means my hair has been on the drier side. I’ve started using Pantene’s Baobab-based hair care to whip my dehydrated hair into shape and get it looking soft again.   

Also if I’m honest, it’s been months since my last trim and my ends have been looking parched so this is how I’ve been giving my hair an extra bit of TLC. 

Treating My Dry Hair with Baobab Essence woahstyle.com by Nathalie Martin _9992.jpg

My goal is to hydrate my dry hair and so I’ve been using Pantene’s Hydrating Glow Shampoo with Baobab Essence. I like it because it’s free of sulfates, parabens, mineral oils, dyes, and fragrance-free. It’s also enriched with Pantene’s iconic blend of pro-vitamin B5, antioxidants, and Baobab Essence and leaves my hair feeling soft and refreshed.  

Treating My Dry Hair with Baobab Essence woahstyle.com by Nathalie Martin _9940.jpg

For conditioner, I’ve been using Pantene’s Hydrating Glow Conditioner with Baobab EssenceSimilar to the shampoo, the formula is hydrating and vitamin E infused, free of sulfates, parabens, mineral oils, dyes, and it’s also fragrance-free. It keeps the tangles away and hydrates my ends so that my hair looks and feels hydrated and glowy.  

Treating My Dry Hair with Baobab Essence woahstyle.com by Nathalie Martin _9994.jpg

Post shower, I’ve been using Pantene’s Thirsty Ends Milk to Water Serumalso from the Hydrating Glow Collection with Baobab Essence

This milky serum transforms to water and is meant to be used on the ends of the hair to lock in moisture and prevent split ends.  

It has long-lasting hydration and can be used on both wet and dry hair to give ends a moisture boost whenever needed.  

For my thick, frizz-prone hair, I was happy to see how The Thirsty Ends Milk to Water Serum smoothed out my hair and left it feeling and looking soft and hydrated. I like to use it on my ends whenever they’re looking parched and need a hydration boost.  

So by now, you’re wondering what exactly is baobab if you haven’t already heard of it. 

Treating My Dry Hair with Baobab Essence woahstyle.com by Nathalie Martin 0006.jpg

WHAT EXACTLY IS BAOBAB? 

Baobab is a tree native to Tanzania where the climate is extremely dry and arid. It stores water in its massive trunk and produces nutrient-dense fruit. This is pretty amazing considering the climate it lives in, which is why the baobab is also known as “The Tree of Life”. 

BENEFITS OF BAOBAB  

In skincare and haircare, Baobab is moisturizing, soothing, and hydrates dry hair. It’s also rich in antioxidants, surpassing goji berries and match, and is rich in vitamin E. 

PANTENE’S BAOBAB ESSENCE 

In their new Baobab Collection, Pantene has created a formula that’s excellent for reviving dehydrated hair and restoring hair’s softness and glow. 

The three-piece haircare collection includes the ShampooConditioner, and The Thirsty Ends Milk to Water Serum - a new favourite of mine.  

Treating My Dry Hair with Baobab Essence woahstyle.com by Nathalie Martin.jpg

If you're looking for a hydration boost to your dry hair, I’d highly recommend checking out Pantene’s Hydrating Glow Collection with Baobab Essence to convert your dry hair into soft, hydrated locks.

Hermès Evelyne PM Bag Review feat. LXRandCo

Hermès Evelyne PM Bag Review feat. LXR & Co, woahstyle.com by Nathalie Martin_0137.jpg

Over the past couple of years, I've moved away from trendier bags and started collecting more of the classics - Loewe, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and now, Hermès.

While I hadn't planned on owning an Hermès for another couple of years, I decided to go for it after coming across the beautiful Hermès Evelyne PM bag at LXRandCo.

I had spent years collecting trendy designer bags only to sell them later, so why not invest in a timeless brand like Hermès? 

Hermès Evelyne PM Bag Review feat. LXR & Co, woahstyle.com by Nathalie Martin_0034.jpg

For those not familiar with LXRandCo, they're a luxury retailer that has an assortment of modern vintage bags and accessories from Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Celine, Chanel, Dior, Givenchy, Goyard, Gucci, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and Saint Laurent to name a few. 

Hermès Evelyne PM Bag Review feat. LXR & Co, woahstyle.com by Nathalie Martin_0228.jpg

Unlike some other online pre-loved retailers that I've shopped from in the past, LXRandCo has an option to filter the location of where your item is coming from. So for example when I was looking at Hermès bags, I set the filter so that I was only looking at items shipping from Canada, which meant I wouldn't have to worry about customs or duties. 

After setting the filter Location to Canada, a couple of Evelyne bags popped up on my screen. They had a beautiful white canvas Evelyne available but it was in the GM size which probably would have been too big for my liking.

Hermès Evelyne PM Bag Review feat. LXR & Co, woahstyle.com by Nathalie Martin_0191.jpg

After careful consideration, I decided on the classic Hermès orange in the PM size. Not only is the PM better suited for my petite frame, but the colour is everything that Hermès dreams are made of. 

I've heard so many amazing things about the Hermès Evelyne but it wasn't until I used the bag for the first time that I truly understood it. 

Hermès Evelyne PM Bag Review feat. LXR & Co, woahstyle.com by Nathalie Martin_0183.jpg

While most of the designer bags in my collection score high on design, the Evelyne bag scores 10/10 for design and function. Here's why:

  • It's lightweight so that you don't have unnecessary extra weight on your shoulder. 

  • The cotton strap is sturdy. Even though it's thicker than the strap on my Loewe Puzzle bag, this one stays on my shoulder and doesn't slide off because it's made of webbed cotton versus leather.  

  • There are no interior or exterior pockets, however, it fits my Louis Vuitton Toiletry 19 pouch perfectly so that I can store small items like lipstick safely in the bag without having to dig around. 

  • The understated design is elegant which makes it truly versatile, and it suits my personal style perfectly. I can see myself wearing this bag all year long through all four seasons. 

Hermès Evelyne PM Bag Review feat. LXR & Co, woahstyle.com by Nathalie Martin_0247.jpg

I've been fortunate in collecting various handbags throughout the years and I'd say that the Hermès Evelyne PM is probably the perfect everyday bag. And in case you're curious, mine is in the Evelyne I PM in Orange, Epsom leather with palladium hardware.

MARGEILA'S NEW BUBBLE BATH SCENT IS LIKE A VACATION IN A BOTTLE

maison margiela replica perfume bubble bath, fragrance review, woahstyle.com by nathalie martin_9299.jpg

Maison Margiela’s latest REPLICA scent, Bubble Bath, is out and it’s exactly what we need right now.

Warm and comforting, this scent is reminiscent of Beverly Hills according to the label on the bottle.

Personally, it reminds me of checking into a hotel in West Hollywood and hanging out at the pool. Ordering room service late at night, fries of course, with a side of olives. Watching the LA sun come up at 6 am because I'm still on east coast time.

Bubble Bath takes me back to pre-covid times when I had first launched WoahStyle and when the entire world seemed like it was at my disposal.

Those were magical times.

maison margiela replica perfume bubble bath, fragrance review, woahstyle.com by nathalie martin_9295.jpg

Smelling Bubble Bath for the first time was unexpected but so good.

Did I smell subtle notes of coconut and musk?

I logged onto the Sephora app and confirmed the notes: Soap Bubble Accord, Rose Superessence, White Musk, and Coconut Milk Accord.

Like all of Margiela's REPLICA scents, this one is unique, with the notes blending into perfect harmony.

Not one note stands out more than the other. The coconut is subtle yet present, as is the floral, and white musk.

It's oddly addictive and I've been reaching for it multiple times a day just to catch another whiff.

Yes, it's that good.

Bubble Bath is a unisex scent and is available as a Sephora exclusive.
