Are you ready to meet another Birchbox UK staffer? This time it’s our lovely social media maven, Ally! Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest and you’ll see her hard work – and she also writes too! Here’s a little more info about Ally…
- Name/Title: Alexandra (Ally) Lewis – Social Media Executive
- Unofficial Role: Diet Coke fiend/Walking encyclopedia of wedding wisdom.
- Hometown: Toronto, Canada, but my dad is West Indian and I lived in Barbados for the last 9 years.
- Office Catchphrase: “That’s Fun”
- Fun Fact: After being in a long distance relationship for five years, I packed my bags and moved to London to be with my main man — I haven’t looked back since.
- Beauty Confession: I have never dyed my hair (no, not even Sun-In).
- Currently Loving: My make-up bag is currently playing host to the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser, MAC Melba blusher and Chanel’s Rouge Allure in Flirt. There are always a couple of Twistbands tumbling around the bottom of my handbag too!
- Worth The Splurge: Besides spa treatments (deep tissue massage anyone?), perfume is generally something that I can justify putting the pennies down for. My signature scent is Dior Miss Cherie but I have just added Molton Brown’s Lijiang to my top shelf.
- Go-To Make-Up Look: I never leave the house without a few good lashings of Benefit’s They’re Real mascara, some blusher, Smashbox under-eye concealer, and running a little MAC Brun through my brows. To turn that into a night look I throw on Kate Moss for Rimmel lipstick in 107 and some liquid liner.
- Favourite Food: I live for Nachos. They must be smothered in refried beans, creama, shredded cheese and guac (with a Diet Coke on the side always).
- Favourite Film: Feel good movies like Moulin Rouge and Grease will have me singing and dancing for days – but I am also a sucker for documentaries (Waiting for Superman tops my list).
