It would be great to see your full collection, how you keep and storage it. The old fashion beauty/cosmetics too, please 🙏❤

I am an antique dealer, and have always had mixed feelings about private people's personal possessions coming up as auction items, but seeing your love for Marilyn and how much her makeup inspires you, it seems clear to me that collectors like you are the perfect people to be the caretaker's of an icon's belongings. There's so much potential for exploitative behaviour and avarice out there, it always seemed important to be that these things were cherished, and it's so rare and lovely to see that in the antique world.

Nice that someone who actually appreciates, understands the products and truly cares about the person it belonged to, was able to get some of them. You deserve them Erin. And then some.

It's sweet that you appreciate the human side of Marilyn. I always got the feeling she was quite lonely in life.

I have always been one of those fans who felt protective of her. The fact that the hairspray smelled like her gave me chills! I love the thought you put into this.

It’s a sweet treat when Erin uploads. We learn, we love, & leave uplifted!

DO IT, PLEASE DO IT. Make a video of you re-creating ALL the colours of eyeshadows the Marilyn used. You could make a Marilyn Monroe eyeshadow palette 🎨 ❤❤

1. I was completely mesmerized by your lips the entire time. They are perfect. 2. You should 1000% come out with a modern marylin palette or collection. You would be the one to do it and I can totally see it going viral. ❤

Makeup Mother has graced us once again with Marilyn Monroe content!

It's so ridiculous that a single blonde hair could have so much meaning, but I did audibly gasp at that part! I have my own handmade cosmetics brand (cough The Velvet Hexagon cough) and I love getting inspiration from vintage makeup. I even have a lipstick called Marilyn that was inspired by the orange lipstick from your other video! I just wish I could have seen it in person to get an exact match! 🧡❤️

Hearing Erin compare her childhood to Marilyn's makes my heart go out to her. I think a lot of long-term Marilyn fans had quite difficult childhoods.

You’re an iconic woman for going this hard for her makeup and all the research you put into it. Loved loved loved this video.

'If there was a course at college about Marilyn Monroe's makeup I would certainly get an A+' Wrong, you would be the professor! And I would love to take that course! Fantastic video, I love the makeup history lessons you share with us.

If there was a course at university on MM’s makeup, you could teach it, and students would be captivated because you make the history, science, and glamour exciting and accessible. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm.💄❤

I recently found out that I am related to Marilyn. (Obviously extremely distant) I am related to her on my maternal side. She is my 9th cousin, 5x removed. That means I share .06% dna with her 😂 It’s an incredible thing to see you so passionate about Marilyn. She has impacted so many peoples lives. In a way, you’re probably closer to her than I ever will be 💜

I always loved Marylin Monroe, but I never thought I would be so invested on her personal items. Thank you Erin for sharing your collection with us!

The dedication, artistry, and time you put into each vintage video are astounding! Thank you for all you do! It is greatly appreciated.💄

I watched your first Marilyn video like 10 times at this point because it was so fun and interesting. 💖 I've been watching KZfaq for almost 15 years now and have witnessed the rise and fall of the beauty guru era. Now that technology is changing and younger people are more interested in Tiktok, there arent many videos like that anymore. I'm so glad you decided to start a channel. I love your videos and as a vintage make up & history buff, I just love seeing someone sharing the passion I have. 💕 I was an aspiring MUA but life took a different turn for me and I gave that up. But your videos bring back so many memories. Thank you Erin we love you!!!🥰

I just love how open erin is with what she bought and the entire process and how she found and acquired the items. She respects the pieces and also shares them with all of us! Ive seen other people share celebrity makeup items that they have purchased and purposfully not open the product so that only they knows the actual shade. Erin is no gatekeeper lol and she seems genuinely happy to tell us all the awesome details! ❤ lots of love

Thank you for sharing this exclusive, private showing of Marilyn's makeup case. Her make-up, beauty and costumes were all impeccable. I think she had the best wardrobe in Hollywood. As a fellow MUA & Aesthetician, I really appreciate your makeup preservation and education efforts. Well done, Ma'am!!

As much as I love makeup, it feels like I love makeup history even more. Erin, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and passion with us!

Everything about Marilyn is amazing. From her story of how she came into her fame to how she still captivates new generations over 60 years after her death. She’s been elevated to goddess status and I really appreciate that you give her some humanity back.

Fabulous commentary of all the products. Imagine if you could have her cloned through the DNA on her makeup or that 1 hair?? Crazy. Sad to think of how she left us and here we are decades later expressing our live for her. She was a gift to us and so are you! You're a doll!

your love for makeup, vintage makeup, and the story behind vintage makeup is truly inspiring! marilyn was destroyed by hollywood, hopefully she watches down on us and sees our love for her and that we understand her pain. love you erin and love you marilyn💕❤️

Man I didn’t want this video to end. I would’ve loved to hear about everything of hers that was up for auction of hers. This is so interesting! Thank you for doing this for us ❤

I found you on tiktok but I'm obsessed with your longer videos. Especially these Marilyn Monroe videos are so fascinating

i need that red lip combo more than i need air, im in love, obsessed and head over heels with how vibrant and glossy it is and it reflects the light to brightly i thought you drew the reflections on

Love love love that you’ve connected this to her upbringing and your personal connection to Marilyn’s story. Reading her biography when I was growing up really stuck with me as a creative and a person. Thank you for bringing such reverence and respect to all of the pieces you own of hers ❤

Love the history videos, thank you so much for sharing! Makeup really is powerful, isn't it? Not to deny Marilyn's or anyone else's natural beauty and talent, but cosmetic chemists, makeup, and makeup artists need to be given a lot more credit for helping to create so many icons.

I love how Erin educates us in makeup. As someone who's still amateur in make-up, I learned a lot, because of Erin. Please do continue educating us about the history of makeup most especially the ancient time of make-up. ❤️❤️

Your videos are like a warm hug. Edited to perfection, just looking at you is comforting. And learning all about Marilyn details are the icing on the mascara cake.

I was able to purchase makeup and a case that was owned by Dorothy Dandridge who was a close friend of Marilyn. This was soooo generous of u to share this with all the MM fans ❤❤

Your passion when explaining how the items were used and when they were used, gave me goosebumps! I love your videos, Erin 🥰

Your videos are like therapy to me. The time and effort you put into making this content come alive is amazing, and I can feel your passion through the screen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your deep respect for such an amazing icon!

I love how passionate you are about Marlyn & her makeup. It’s people like you that are keeping her legacy alive & inspiring more people, educating along the way. I’m so glad you bought a few items 💜

You are so devoted to respecting mm's memory in makeup. I cannot imagine anyone else taking such good care of her most personal possessions -- her makeup. Thank you for sharing with us!

I love how you talk about Marilyn, she was a human above anything else and her story is remarkable and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your journey to Marilyn's lipstick with us!❤

What a fantastic video, I love how into your craft you are! KZfaq is so oversaturated with wishwash crap. Your videos are bloody fantastic. So interesting! Also your lips look like actual vinyl - what have you got on?!

you are such a gift to this world, a gift to Marilyn and a gift to us, her other fans , THANK YOU SO MUCH ERIN

This honestly brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing this insight into your life. I'm so happy that you were able to get some of the products. It's obvious that they hold so much meaning to you.

I really had never considered just how fascinating the history of makeup is until I came across your channel! Thank you for putting this kind of content out, it's genuinely exciting whenever you upload 💛

You dont have to worry about it being a lot! I’m sure I speak for many of us when I say this is all so captivating and interesting! You are so passionate and it’s shows! It’s great watching you talk about this Erin! 🎉

I almost crawled into my phone studying every item up close. Thank you for that!!❤

I just love how your face lights up when you talk about marilyn. You're so genuine!

Thank you very much for a wonderfully complete video about Marilyn Monroe. Your love of her and makeup shows in every video you make.

I don’t think anyone could appreciate her items more than you. ❤

I could watch these all day. I love old vintage stuff. Please keep making content like this. The detail you get into on thw products and thw auction is just so fascinating. Love love love. You are the best hidden gem ever.

I'm fascinated by your enthusiasm and joy for all these vintage make-up items...especially Marilyn's!! Love ya Erin Parsons!! 😘 💋

What a fabulous video! I used to have a massive collection of books, fun stuff, that were a tribute to Marilyn. Never had any treasures like you do. I’m so glad these items are being loved and preserved. To me, Marilyn was inspirational. Came from nothing but her talent, beauty, and hard work made her legendary. Yet I always had the feeling any of us could have sat down and had a conversation with her she seemed approachable. I love seeing her makeup. As a makeup junkie, it’s if interest, but knowing these belonged to Marilyn, holy grail!! I’m in the midst of redecorating my bathroom where I do my makeup, and making it to be a homage to Marilyn.

Love Erin, the joy in her voice and face when she talks about each piece. She is truly dedicated and so respectful in what she has found and shares. I hope some of those items come up for her in the future and she gets them to compliment her collection. This was exciting and so educational at the same time!

This is nothing short of incredible. Your passion, commitment, intel, and most mind-blowingly, your generosity in sharing this with us. I love make-up + collecting vintage, so this is just so special. Also, I ❤ your look today! Xo, Amy/Savor Salvage Scent

I am so obsessed with your channel! I love these long videos! ❤

I could listen to you talk about makeup and Marilyn all day. You are a font of knowledge! I love love love learning from you and watching your channel!❤

this is such a fantastic channel. i love watching people talk about stuff that they are truly passionate about. your videos are so enjoyable and comforting to watch. 💜

I love these videos, especially the amount of sleuthing put into finding the right products with pictures! Even if they aren't necessarily something that you're planning to bid on, it would be really cool to see similar videos about uncovering the original makeup that old stars used!

I am not a makeup person at all, never have been, but I love this historical aspect of it all. Got me hooked ! Thank you for all of your research on these items and sharing your interests with us all :) it really is fascinating and your narrative and delivery are excellent as well !!!! Lol I also enjoy your comments about the costs of some things - totally agree :)

I'm so glad you own the most iconic makeup products of her: lipstick, lip balm and beauty mark brown pencil. You are so deserved it. And now this items in a really good hands ❤

I clicked on this video so fast! I could listen to you talk about vintage makeup and Marilyn for hours. I just love how passionate, talented and knowledgeable you are ❤I would also love to see an extensive tour of your vintage collection. Sending love from Denmark ❤

Your love of Marilyn and the makeup items you’ve won really shines throughout this video. It was a joy to watch.

Finally someone who understands my life long obsession with researching Marilyn's owned items and who can actually get close and do great investigating work! All I have to say is THANK YOUU!!!

I have Endometriosis, and Marilyn did too, so shes had a special place in my heart for a long time now. It wouldve been so cool to have met her

I can't get enough of your videos! Thank you so much for sharing those up close and personal video clips of all her makeup! 😮❤

You being so excited about the finger print on the lip gloss is so sweet!

Literally makes my day when Erin posts! These videos I could watch ALL DAY!!

The fact that you discovered that product with hair in it is amazing. You pay such close attention to every product, it’s truly impressive!

You're excitment is contagious!💕 Thank you for showing all of the pictures! The packaging is so gorgeous 🥰 Also, I love that you found photos of her possibly using the products and also the selections from her sister's book that talk about her makeup use. You are so thorough and truly a makeup historian!

i love your videos so much 🥺i didn't expect the "style" of content in this video, and i've never had that much interest in marilyn monroe, but you have a wonderful, light vibe!! been watching ever since your first video was recommended to me, and i look so forward to these longer videos

This was fascinating. I’m so glad that you are the caretaker of these items because I am positive that you will protect & cherish them for as long as you have them & that you will ensure that they will always be cared for properly.

One day hope to buy your vintage inspired line of makeup. We can live vicariously through you! I only wonder what makeup products she used during the Niagara and gentlemen prefer blondes era- that was a different Marilyn than the 60s Marilyn.

You are an absolute doll!!! Your enthusiasm for Marylin, makeup and preserving the history of your craft is fascinating. Your content is unmatched ❤

you maKe the most authenthic marilyn monroe makeuo products videos. hatts off to you.

THANK GAWD! A new video! I looooooooooooove your videos! I suffer from severe depression and your videos have brought me out of it. I’m trying make up again and trying to use rollers on my hair, trying to dress instead of staying in bed in pajamas, etc. You have no idea how much you reach people with your videos.

Thank you for speaking of her as the human she was, and sharing this 😊

As much as I love your short vids, I must say I’m loving your long form videos - your passion for make up and history really shines through!! I look forward to seeing more!! ❤❤

your passion is infecting me! it's inspiring. Thank you for putting out longer videos! I enjoy all of it!

So fascinating and your attention to every detail is incredible; I love these videos and I’m so excited to see you posting more videos to KZfaq! You are FABULOUS 😘

This is fascinating and your love for Marilyn and makeup is infectious! Thank you for sharing 💜💜💜

I love how much respect you have for these historical artefacts, the way you explore the story behind Marilyn Monroe and the other bygone silver screen stars you cover in your videos, your attention to detail, and accuracy of the facts you are telling us ❤️🥰👌

Would love to see you try to find or recreate shadows close to those green and violet lavender ones! The lavender looks so pretty on her 💕

Would LOVE to see long form videos of you remaking the eyeshadows! Really love these videos where you really delve into these makeup products/backstories you’re so passionate about.

I watch this video a lot because it’s so fascinating to know someone owns this actual history of someone who lived so long ago but is still so relevant today I really hope you make video specifically on showing Marilyn’s makeup you won up close I would love to see that! I love how you humanize Marilyn and make it known that she was a real person with real feelings and again I’m glad you get to own some of her makeup you’re so lucky please make more videos on this❤

This is so fun! Glad you were able to get the ones you wanted and that they are ending up with people who truly appreciate them! 💄💋 You should also totally try and recreate the pictures where your won items were photographed. That would be awesome to see if you were ever able to ☺️💕

aah, so lovely to see this! very cool seeing all the products she used and i'm glad these products went to you because you've so much knowledge, appreciation and to top it off - the money will go to charity. Marilyn would be proud! 😁thank you for sharing with all of us, Marilyn fans 💖

My goodness, I can't wait for more of your videos! I don't really watch makeup-related videos like I used to, but what you are doing is completely different quality. I mean the whole history in it, it's fascinating 😍 I really hope you can do MM makeup recreation (I mean find somehow exact colors she used to wear), cause it would be super interesting ❤ Your fascination with beauty through the hiatory is absolutely amazing!

I am SO GLAD I found your channel!! You are so beautiful and just so authentic!! Thank you for sharing this video!!!!!

This was so informative and I have to say, I love the way you speak so respectfully of Marilyn. It is so refreshing when so many seem to want to tear her down. I was so excited when you would point out when you had to have an item. Please do more of these! I love your content ❤

Please tell me you've had these and all of you collection insured, lol! These pieces are beyond amazing! ❤

Your videos are so fascinating! More, More, More Please! And it’s so amazing that you are working towards donating items to a museum for future generations to admire!

This was so much fun to watch!!! Thank you for sharing your passion for women in culture and history. Marilyn made such an impact on us all.

I started studying Marilyn's hair and makeup back in the 70s when all I had was photos in old books or magazines. I LOVE your attention to detail and research on these products (loving the detailed video on the ORANGE lipstick--that was a surprise). I am glad someone who loves vintage makeup and MM will be taking care of these items for us to enjoy. Looking forward to more videos!

I have extreme respect for Marilyn (Norma Jean). In personality and in our personal tragedies we are extremely similar. I connect with her. ❤
