Bobbi Brown continued... Part 2

Popular Previous Post

After having one of Bobbi Brown's national makeup artists here a couple of weeks ago for a home event, I found that I had so many pictures and so much info to share.  Rogelio Reyna lives in Miami, and in the words of The Anchorman, Ron Burgundy, he is "kind of a big deal."  After growing up in our little town, he chased his dreams, and he found a career that he loves.
It is always great having him here.  He is so knowledgeable, he knows what women want as far as their makeup, and he wants you to learn how to recreate his professional touches onto your own face every day.  

So here is what I had to do.  Pick up the phone.  Call my friend, Katrina.  And tell her I need a cool looking cheese and cracker tray, and maybe another hors d'oeuvre.
This is what I got.  
Oh, I asked for it.  I said, "Yes, that sounds great."  
"Of course we need that, just add it to your list..."
"Well, sure, we need a vegetable tray.  Oh, I forgot how good those mini shrimp cocktails are -- okay, let's do those, too."
"Okay, that chutney will be awesome and autumnal, but that's it."
"Yeah, you're right, we don't have any sweets, just add those tiny spice cupcakes, then we are done."

Oh my gosh, it was over the top.  Fabulous.  She is the bomb.  And I am a loser because I didn't get a picture of her being the bomb.  And somehow we didn't get a picture of this either, but she (her son) brought this unbelievable drink.  We called it the "Bobbi," and her son consulted a mixologist friend in Maine to obtain this delicious concoction that tasted like apple crisp.  They rimmed the glasses in a cinnamon and sugar mixture.  Good grief.  I didn't even want her working because it was a Sunday.  She apparently is the rancher's secret twin sister.  She doesn't know how to not work.
Everyone he touched looked like a million bucks.  He is just a rock star.

I just had to add this picture to make fun of myself.
A)  Awesome picture of my unorganized pantry in the background.
B)  One of us is pregnant, and it's not the one in white who looks pregnant.

Thanks again to Rogelio for bringing a piece of the big city to us.
