TAG: Get to Know Me
Hey everyone! I was looking at my blog and realized how little you guys know about me, so I decided to do the About Me TAG! And by the way, I tag ALL OF YOU! **Please Note: I took these questions from ImperfectionsBeauty's TAG video, but edited them into questions I thought were most relevant.
What is your Favorite subject in school?
- I really enjoy 20th century history. I have no idea why, but I guess all of the wars interest me.
Favorite Book?
- Angels and Demons by Dan Brown! I love this series and Dan Brown is a captivating author!
Favorite Color?
- Lavender :) and Tiffany Blue (hmmm... maybe the colors of my blog?? :P)
Favorite Animal?
- Whales! I don't know why, they just seem chill.
Favorite Perfume?
- Chanel Coco Mademoiselle.. I've mentioned once or twice or maybe a few thousand times, lol..
Favorite Holiday?
- Christmas with the family!
Have you graduated high school?
- Yes, I'm in college.
Have you ever been out of the country? If so, how many times?
- Yes, too many times to count!
Do you speak any other language?
- No, I know quite a bit of French, but I'm not exactly fluent yet.
How many siblings do you have?
- I have a sister, Hadley, and a brother, Chase.
What is your favorite store?
- Anthropologie!
Favorite restaurant?
- BOA Steakhouse
Favorite movie?
- Inception. Some people hate it, but if you watch it all the way through, it's actually amazing.
Favorite TV show?
- Whale Wars! It's on Fridays on Animal Planet at 9. The new season just started 2 days ago and it was fabulous!!
What kind of phone do you have?
- iPhone 4
When's your birthday?
- July 21
What is your nationality?
- I'm a dual citizen. I have a Canadian and American citizenship, but I'm also German.
What was your dream job when you were younger?
- I wanted to first be an artist until I realized I was terrible at that. Then, I wanted to be an astronaut. Finally, I decided I wanted to be a CIA agent... random jobs, haha!
Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?
- Yes, I have a boyfriend named Hunter, but we are currently in a bit of a fight...
What sort of music do you listen too?
- I listen to anything but screamo (it's scary), country (it makes me want to puke), intense rap (I don't know what they're saying), or Justin Bieber (me, being a Candian, can honestly say how annoying this kid is!)
Do you have a job?
- Yes, I model a lot and I also help my friend, who is a makeup artist, when she has events and things. I have a normal 9-6 job though, that involves a bunch of law (I hope to be a lawyer soon!!)
What's the first thing you look for in a person?
- A sense of humor! I'm extremely sarcastic and I hate when people take that stuff to heart. Lighten Up :)

TmaraCo becomes GirlFromAztecLane
Hey everyone! So, one of the beauty gurus in my March Favorite beauty gurus post has changed youtube names! She used to go by TmaraCo, but now is GirlFromAztecLane! Someone logged into her account and tried to access her personal information, so she just completely changed her YouTube name. She just got her new ombre hair, got a new apartment, and now a new YouTube username, so I really believe things happen for a reason and she just needed a completely fresh start! :)
Unfortunately, she lost her 2,000+ subscribers and her YouTube partnership, so I'm trying to spread the word, so we can help Tamara get her loyal viewers back! I'll post the video below from her new chanel that explains everything that happened to her, as well as her new account.
For any other questions, comments, etc, please e-mail me at MakeupBySerena@aol.com, leave a comment here, or post on my Facebook wall! And don't forget to like 'Makeup By Serena' on Facebook!

May Favorites
Hey everyone! So it's already 5 days into June and I realized I haven't done my May Favorites yet!! (I'm sorry for never doing an April Favorites, but I just felt there weren't enough products to do a post for April.)
3) Yves Saint Laurent Volupte Sheer Candy Glossy Balm Crystal Color in Dewy Papaya- [$30] I love this color! It's so perfect for summer because it's a very sheer peach color that gives your lips just the right amount of pop, but without over doing it. I use this pretty much everyday and I absolutely adore it! It was so hard to chose my favorite YSL lip product, and if you're not into peach colors, my second favorite is probably Succulent Pomegranate (although Juicy Grapefruit looks great as well).
4) MAC Surf, Baby! Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Blue Noon- [$15.50] Choosing between Blue Noon and Gilded White was very tricky because both colors are fabulous! However, because it is summer and I tend to wear brighter colors, I had to go with Blue Noon! It's basically a teal color and what I love is the effect it gives my eyes. I have very blue eyes (almost like a pool water blue...if that makes any sense) and the darker blue of this eyeliner makes them pop even more! I like to combine Blue Noon on my lash line with Gilded White in my tear duct area to create the perfect summery look! I've included a swatch of both of them so you can see the true colors!
1) Benefit Hoola Bronzer- [$28] This is seriously my holy grail bronzer. I wear it almost everyday, and because I have clear skin (knock on wood) and don't need any heavy coverage, I can use this as my foundation. I love the color- a true brown- and the new packaging!! It now comes with a mirror, just like Bella Bamba!
2) Urban Decay Naked Palette- [$48] I used to use this everyday, but then switched to the Too Faced Natural Eye Palette (which I still love), but now that Sephora restocked the Naked Palette, I've been using this more and more. The only down side about this palette is that it no longer comes with the 2 eyeliners, but instead features an eyeshadow brush. I really hate this new version because I absolutely loved the two eyeliners it came with before (Whiskey is probably one of my all time favorite eyeliner colors)!
4) MAC Surf, Baby! Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Blue Noon- [$15.50] Choosing between Blue Noon and Gilded White was very tricky because both colors are fabulous! However, because it is summer and I tend to wear brighter colors, I had to go with Blue Noon! It's basically a teal color and what I love is the effect it gives my eyes. I have very blue eyes (almost like a pool water blue...if that makes any sense) and the darker blue of this eyeliner makes them pop even more! I like to combine Blue Noon on my lash line with Gilded White in my tear duct area to create the perfect summery look! I've included a swatch of both of them so you can see the true colors! 5) Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Moisturizing Body Lotion- [$49] Holy Chanel!! Did I just say that my absolute favorite scent of perfume now comes in a Moisturizing Body Lotion, as well as a shower gel and body oil? Yes I did, thank you Chanel! I literally died when I saw this in the store!
I bought:
-the Moisturizing Body Lotion [$49]
-the Foaming Shower Gel [$49]
-the Velvet Body Oil [$55]
-the Fresh Body Satin Spray [$55]
-the Shimmering Touch Spray [$65]
-the Fresh Body Lotion [$49]
... I am officially obsessed. Now, these products have been out for a while, but everytime I go to get them, they're sold out! So, that's why I legit bought everything they had while it was in stock. I called my sister after I bought all of these and did she call me crazy? Nope! It turns out she had just gone to MAC and bought not just a few of the Surf, Baby! products, but ALL of them! Obviously, she's crazier than me... Anyway, these all smell fabulous, but the moisturizing body lotion is my favorite because it truly moisturizes my skin and locks in the wonderful Chanel smell. I use this right after I get out of the shower and my skin stays moisturized for a good 24 hours. I highly recommend these products, and although you don't have to purchase all of them as I did, I recommend you pick up the ones you want now, since availibility of these products is not great. (If you want more options, you can always order them online, but I'm too impatient when it comes to my Chanel!)
My mom is also sending me
-the Bath Soap [$23.50]
-the Body Cream [$80]
-the Fresh After Bath Powder [$60]
Sephora does not sell these three products, so my mom is ordering them off of the Chanel website (I love her)! I'm including all of the product pictures below, so you can see them in all of their glory!
This is the end of my May Favorites! I hope you enjoyed this post, and feel free to do this on your blog or youtube account! Also, did you guys like the way I edited the Chanel Coco Mademoiselle picture? I thought I would try and do my own pictures here and there, but if you prefer the clean-cut, from the internet pictures, I can keep those. Let me know in the comments below! Finally, I just wanted to say this post is so fun to do because it's not only my favorites of the month, but I'm posting this from Hawaii! Anyway, have a great rest of your summer, but if you're in Australia or somewhere where it's fall/autumn, then have a great fall!
~Serena
