Update Time!

Hello ladies!!  Sorry with the lack of updates recently, I have been so busy!!  I officially moved out of my sh*tty apartment and into my boyfriend's place.  I am soo glad to be out of that place, it is seriously one of the WORST apartments I have ever lived in.  It was damp all the time, and worst of all MOLDY.  As I was cleaning and packing my things I threw away clothes and shoes in my closet and drawers that were moldy, it was sooo disgusting! Even my guitar case had mold on it, but good thing it didn't get to my guitar.  Right after I moved to my boyfriend's place I did laundry...and washed ALL of my clothes, it took me like 3 days to finish all the laundry but it was worth it! Everything smells and feels so fresh and clean now.  


Anyway, I haven't blogged about the SF meet up yet! Haha it feels so long ago, but it took place during my finals so I didn't have time to update.  It was a lot of fun!! Finally got to meet Fuz in person, she is like a goddess, so tall and elegant!  Even wearing my highest heels I was still so short haha. 

Met lots of lovely readers and bloggers, and Mihoko of Mihoko Shop! Turns out we go to the same school and if I ever order anything I can just pick it up from her haha, and turns out Lulu and I are neighbors! Excuse me, were neighbors.  We lived literally right next door to each other, what a small world.  

Picture time!


This was taken BEFORE I started drinking.  I had some sort of champagne cocktail, wasn't very good.  For some reason when I drink I become very red, very pale, and very swollen at the same time.  I definitely have the glow T_T


Everyone with their shot of Kamikaze, which is Fuz's favorite drink.  It was quite delicious, but tasted more like a fruity cocktail than a shot.


The Mandarin speaking ladies haha!  L to R: Me, Fuz, Sarah (a reader), and Mihoko of Mihoko Shop. 

Gawd my dress was so awfully wrinkly.


Paparazzi shot of J Doll and Fuz!



Everyone outside for a group picture. :)  Some people had to leave early though.  

My eyes for the night~


A smoky plum look.  I believe I used MAC Blackground Paint Pot, Urban Decay Last Call eyeshadow, MAC Nocturnelle and MAC Clair de Lune eyeshadow.


I was actually really happy with how this look turned out, perhaps I will do a tutorial...

Olivia and Fuz were very generous and gave everyone gifts!



From Olivia:


Those snacks were SO yumm I need to get some more of them!  The Victoria's Secret balm is amazing, I've been using it everyday! It's my new favorite.  Thank you Olivia!

From Fuz~


I've always wanted to try the Boscia Blotting linens! And the Korres gloss is super cute, and Jonathan Product straightening balm I haven't tried yet but looks very interesting! Thank you Fuz. 

Oh and for my nails I wore one of the OPI polishes that Angie gave me, called Pompeii Purple.  A gorgeous hot pink with duotone purple.



------------------------------
I haven't been wearing much makeup recently because I haven't had time!! Moving sucks and drains so much of your time and energy.  The worst part is having to clean the apartment :(  Buttt I spent a little extra time putting on more makeup the day before I moved, but kept it very natural and minimal~


Can't remember what I used really... By the way, picture taken with my boyfriend's new Fujifilm camera.  So jealous!! He got a newest version of the camera that I broke as a birthday present from his sister.  Now that we're living together, I think I'm going to use his camera for taking pictures :P

My hair has been looking quite drab lately as well, I need to get a trim! It's getting pretty long and shapeless.  

And I've finally finished my Boscia skincare stuff!


It's kind of funny that I finished both of these at the same time.  I really really loved these products, my skin absolutely loved them, especially the Recharging Night Cream, seriously amazing stuff!  Thank you for all of your suggestions on a new eye cream! I have already bought a replacement eye cream, which I will save for another post :) 
As for a new night cream I've been using the Garnier Aqua Defense cream that I bought from China, it is an Asian exclusive I believe.  It's actually not bad for a drugstore prouduct! But definitely not as good as the Boscia one, maybe I will just repurchase it.   

Whew that was a long post, had to catch up from my weeks of absence!  I just flew back home yesterday, going to be home for 2 weeks before I have to fly back to start my internship.  2 weeks to relax before I start working some crazy hours!  I'm going to take lots of pics of my doggie :)

I get pretty red too after a couple of glasses too, very red and giggly. You look nice that evening, everybody's looking great. Fuz is so tall!! Like a model :D Oh, please tell us more about the camera, is it easy to take self-pictures with (from arm's length)? Which one is it exactly?

Lulu said...

aww you are no longer my neighbor!!! but it's good that you guys moved to a better place, I have no idea your apt was that bad. I had my share of moldy apartments in this shitty town, and only here they are shameless to charge such a high rent for a cracked or moldy apartment!!! *cross fingers* that nothing goes wrong at my current place before I move out! hahaha.
yayyy summer started! When do you start your internship? Hope you guys have a fabulous summer vaca, and if you ever want to hang out, you know where to find me! I'll be here all summer and bored, so please bother me if you can, hahaaa :)
ps- even blogspot things moldy apartments are gross, my word verification for this comment is "icking" LOL

IchigoBunnie said...

mzkrystall said...

awwww u are so pretty! i loveyour hair!

Rae said...

Aww, you and I are probably the most alcohol-intolerant people on the face of the earth. Tiny, female, and Asian -- everything that is NOT a prerequisite for lots of alcohol-breaking-down enzymes!

I wish I was in SF ^^ The meetup sounds like it was a ton of fun! I'm so jealous of Fuz' a) height, and b) gorgeously long legs. :P

Glad to hear you're back from the dead, hon!

izumi said...

hehee, i get the glow too. that's why i stay away from drinking xD

fuz is so taaaallllllll! goodness. she's just as gorgeous in person as she is in her videos. at least, it looks like it hahaha haven't gotten a chance T__T;

LOVE your look that night!! do a tut, do a tut!

and i love your "natural" face. also super pretty :D

miss wiggle said...

Audrie! LOokin' fresh and pretty like always yay!~ And I didn't know you spoke Mandarin!!! I could've sworn you were Korean... for some reason. I think it's your perfect skin... looks very Korean-drama-actress-ish! xD

AbcGrrrL said...

Wow, I didn't know Berkeley Apartments were so gross, esp hearing all the stories Lulu had told me about her previous apartment all covered with mold and mushrooms *ew chills*

Where are you originally from?

Lemme know if you and the bf are coming up to Elk Grove/Sac to visit, maybe we can hang out or something!

Lily said...

you look gorgeous! i hate mold! my house used to get moldy until we repainted the walls with mold control mixed in the paint.

my_makeup_mania said...

Very fun pics! Great meet!
Like your nail polish color! So lovely...

Lulu said...

yikes 6 days a week!!! congrats on getting the internship btw :) I'm so happy for you! At least you'll be in SF all the time, haha, i can never get enough of SF :p
How's your new place? I'm so jealous you'll be much closer to that Tolman bus stop, hehehe. Hopefully I can bump into you sometimes. I formed this habit of always looking at the direction of ur apartment when we are pulling into the garage hehehe :p
Hope you are having fun at hoooome!

Cristina [BarbieLuvsMac] said...

i love your make up :]

JL said...

Yeah! I am glad you are back! :) I totally understand the stress of moving. Ugh. But I am glad you got out of your old apartment. I hope you can relax and enjoy these few weeks!!

I LOVE your eyes in that look for the night out. I would love to see the tutorial. :)

The Jonathon hair stuff you got from Fuz is awesome. I have the same sample and it works great. I have really curly hair though and it makes it really easy to straighten.

Have a good night!

♡ Nic Nic ♡ said...

fuzkittie said...

Aw photos from SF! xD It does feel like a while ago... Your makeup was SUPER pretty that night! haha... next to me you don't look red at all! xD Talk about the GLOW! Hahaha. I dunno how to use that straightening thing by Jonathan, it was a gift from Sephora haha.

Looks like you all had so much fun! Lol I'm pretty short too so I wouldn't feel any better standing next to Fuz :)

I hear you on icky apartments! My current one isn't moldy but it just looks run down and old, I hate it but I can't find anything else thats worthwhile moving for. The housing selection where I am isn't good for renters.

Connie De Alwis said...

I like your FOTN!

All of you girls look very pretty and yes, Fuz is very tall!!

leslielovesmakeup said...

audrieeee! ur so cute. i love ur yellow purse and shoes! you've got great cheekbones too.

good luck finding the cream too. i know some girls say they can't find it at their walgreens but for some lucky reason i found it at my local walgreens.

Lulu said...

Hi audrie! ohh I see, when you said you were moving in in June I thought you were moving into your new place. Yay for hardwood floors! How fancy, hehe. I want hardwood floors too!!! We had so many new people moving into our building today, and on the way home today I also looked into ur old unit's direction, but still pitch dark, they better fix that damn mold before they rent it out again! uff! Hi to your boyfriend :) (I'm sorry but I forgot his name :-/)

Cristina [BarbieLuvsMac] said...

Blair said...

All of you girls looked gorgeous that night!

Thank you for liking the earrings I made! It means a lot, especially when it came from the CEO? of Audrie Makes Jewelry teehee~

MiuMiu said...

Pop Champagne said...

thanks for the post! The lady at Sephora recommend me boscia so I've been curious of the brand since... I think I might switch to them when my clinique stuff is done. Is their moisturizer oily? Cuz I got oily skin... anyways you get sephora points when you buy boscia sooo hehehe!

Jamilla Camel said...

You look sooooooooo naturally beautiful in your boyfriend's pic!

M said...
