It’s time for you to meet a new member of our Birchbox UK office, our brilliant designer Victoria. We tore her away from designing our latest magazine for this week’s intro – catch up with the rest here! Find out what this oh-so-chic Parisian had to say about her go-to make-up look and her love of Tom Ford movies…
- Name/Title: Victoria Strauss, Graphic Designer
- Unofficial Role: The Lindt chocolate finisher
- Hometown: Paris, but deeply in love with London.
- Office Catchphrase: ”How do you spell ‘hedgehog’?”
- Fun Fact: The more I look at a map before going somewhere, the more I go in the wrong direction. Never ask me for directions!!
- Beauty Confession: I’m crazy about nail polish, I’ve worn it every day since I was 12, and must have tried all the colours. The darker the better during winter, and neon for summer. Yes, my nails are ruined…
- Currently Loving: Living so close to Primark and Ben’s Cookies. Dramatic changes for my my weight AND my wallet! I can never get enough of my So Chaud MAC lipstick.
- Worth The Splurge: Travel. This is the only thing I never hesitate to invest in. One big holiday a year far far away to cut myself off from everything and (if my new Primark obsession lets me) weekends abroad!
- Go-To Make-Up Look: Being blonde, I’m always afraid to look like Barbie so I never use pink or gloss. I either focus on the eyes with Guerlain’s eyeliner, or brightly coloured lips ( I love MAC and YSL lipsticks). For my skin Touche Eclat from YSL and a little bronzing powder from Clarins. My party must-have? Smoky eyes.
- Favourite Food: Save the earth! It’s the only planet with chocolate!
- Favourite Film: I LOVED Tom Ford’s movie: A Single Man. The music is breathtaking, Colin Firth is so credible and touching. Plus all the images look amazing. I could create a poster from every second/screenshot of the film.
