[emmy123abc]

omg i was wondering how do you get your hair llike that?.do you just like not do anyhting to it or curl it or ..idk but can you please tell me or make a videeo..your awssime!!

[PinkByrd3]

I work for UPS and it you can actually request for your package to be held for will call so it wont get sent back after the 3 attempts, and btw if it is a delivery confirmation per the shipper it gets held at the UPS facility (not UPS store) for 5 business days. just call the 800-PICK-UPS # to hold for will call so it wont get sent back

[aznboi1214]

LOL britney spears

[projectbeautysmartie]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You are too adorable!

Favorited!!!

[BrookeRox99]

i love youd accent =]

[halee09]

my dog bit the ups man the other day lol

[maisyandzoey101]

your SO helpful!! you go through EVERY detail!!

Thanks!!

[blicksflicks]

But, where's the Apple logo? Just kidding. lol

[Gabbsters19]

You're so pretty!

[dabetha]

If delivery confermation is required and you miss 3 times it goes back! Distance from the UPS store doesn't matter.

[pkerry12]

what the fuck is this shit??

Mac pros are part of the Apple computers line, not bloody make up..... Copy right!!!!!! apple should sue Mac pro!!!

[ericaleigh777]

Actually MAC cosmetics were around before MAC computers. And MAC Pro in this case is not an individual product, more of a product line strictly for industry professionals. But I understand you thinking that. My husband is a computer technician and he thought exactly the same thing. I actually own a MAC computer. I could do a video over that if you like. :P

[jassydevil]

it's funny you say that you don't get a black box with nice tissue paper from MAC Pro - because I did with my order! I will see what I get with my next one, but I got the black box and nice black tissue paper too. Interesting!

[tjss999]

you may or may not know, but on the REGULAR mac site they are selling the eyeshadow and blush in pan form and they are selling the empty palettes!!

[redchevy14]

i like her voice

[olive4beauty]

use the 190 to apply your moisturizer and primer.:)

[NappyMACDiva3]

Great haul.

[czarevnah]

lol no they don't send it back. You just have to go pick it from the UPS office itself. The address and details will be left at your door.

[ericaleigh777]

Wow, that's nice. Mine actually does send it back. It even says it on the little paper they leave. lol You must have a nice one. I think it's because our ups store is an hour away or something. But they sent a laptop my husband had ordered back to Dell one time lol It was really bad. :S

[jlstruck2008]

v. true. our ups guy is v. nice. he will leave my cosmetics on my porch for me.

[toontownlegomaster]

UHHHHH im a boy and i thought you were talking about MAC you know the computer uhh anyway i cant believe i watch this whole thing? )= DX

[ericaleigh777]

That's funny because I'm actually on the verge of buying a Macbook right now and my husband is a computer guy so I totally understand it. He always bugs me about that. :D

[TinkerBell2044]

Hi. Erica love your videos. I just wanted to let you know I ordered from Mac Pro and they gave me a tracking # I received through UPS and it did come in the black box and had the black tissue paper in it so I guess they do both regular mail and UPS mail.

[xLaceFacex]

i'd totally love to see a review on the primer...dont see a lot on the SPF one, just the normal one. and i'm super curious

[wintervixen1]

I can't wait to see what kind of a tutorial you put together with those eyeshadow colors! They're so pretty!

[saywhatcuteface18]

Everytime I order from MAC pro it comes in the normal MAC black box, I do have a pro card so that could be why.

[drsprite11]

erica; you are absolutlyy beautiful! i love your videos and you give great advice on make up!

[juicyfruit669]

How was the customer service from MAC pro? Were they rude or anything? And thanks for making this video, it was really helpful. : )

[samsman31]

OMG you're beautiful! :)

[sxcc5]

OMG ERICA! you got MAC im so happy for you! I still remember when I swore i'd never spend money on MAC and now im obsesed with it! congrats that's awesome i am so happy for you! xoxo!

[boscoxmyolie]

great haul:)

[babydollfknowns]

So glad youre back miss erica! I missed your videos!

Do some more soon!

maybe another cooking one. :D

[lgproductionz2007]

i bought like 29 makeup brushes on ebay they are red and real good. They were 20 bucks for all!!

[teheitsjessica]

If they say MAC, they are fake.

[lgproductionz2007]

This hair color is Wayy beautiful on you and brings out your eyes

[Mzchiopet]

with fludline make sure that you cover it up, it dries so quick in the pot and it'll make it hard for you to put it on.

[calimermaid20]

dark hair suits you nice i like it beter than ur light brown brown hair :)

[gailloullou]

I really like your make-up! is there a way for you to do a tutorial on it? Thank you

[XxPiNkTwiLighTxX]

awesome haul.

[ericaleigh777]

Thanks girl! :D

[destinygodley]

no 109? u got a HAUL!

[ericaleigh777]

No. :( No 109. Looks nice though so who knows. Maybe when I get some more dough to spend lol

[alyssaish]

looks like an awesome haul! great video :)

[ericaleigh777]

Thanks girl!

[roannavm]

can u do a review on the mac 150 brush i really wanted to get this..

[ericaleigh777]

Sure I can do that! Thanks for the request!

[OhMiiAGosh]

i flipping love your hair

[ericaleigh777]

haha Thanks girl. I'm loving it back black. I feel more...me! Yeah! It's great! :D

[SrhLun]

how were you able to become a MAC pro member?

[ikielove]

She said she didn't have a pro card...

[ericaleigh777]

Thanks for answering that girl! :D

[ericaleigh777]

Hey! I'm actually not a MAC pro member. You don't have to be to order from MAC pro. But if you arent a pro member you pay full price. :D

[mistressmandy4589]

You're not going to forget about drugstore items, and go completely to MAC, are you? I mean, I love MAC, don't get me wrong, but you are one of the really great youtube gurus left that doesn't have all MAC products. =/

[ericaleigh777]

lol Dont worry girl. I could NEVER afford to have all MAC products. I'm too poor lol I'm a bargain hunter for life! But it was nice to get a few things and try them out to be able to compare. :D

[CillaLovesMakeup]

Jeez, UPS has been nice to you then. They always just leave it outside on the first try with me. It's anyone's fair game then.....lol. I'm happy you finally got a MAC haul!

[ericaleigh777]

Oh wow! UPS wont just leave stuff here. Maybe because I am in an apartment building. I dunno but they just leave a note on the door and come back the next day.

[jillynoodle15]

omggggggg i'm so excited ur back lol

so what happened to not being able to afford MAC? you said someone gave it to you or something when i messaged you but thats a LOT to give someone. anywho yayyy for erica being backkkkkkk

[ericaleigh777]

lol i know what you mean its hard to believe! One person actually sent me just a couple of things but the brushes mainly came from a friend I know in real life who happened to have back ups of some and bought me a few others. I was soooooo shocked it was really the sweetest thing ever. And then a few of the other things I had swapped some palettes for and things like that. I can DEFINITELY never afford to have all mac lol I have nowhere near the money for that. But it was nice to feel like it.

[TwinkletOes24]

yaaaaaa erica here :)

[ericaleigh777]

Thanks girl! Glad you are happy to see me back!

[singrgal90]

also, what brush did you use to apply your foundation in this video? it looks amazing!

[ericaleigh777]

I used the EDM flat top brush. :D It's all I use for mineral foundation! So I pretty much use it everyday! lol

[singrgal90]

you said the mac brushes were great quality compared to your other brushes. i know you love edm and i do too. just wondering if you could explain the quality and compare to edm brushes. i don't own anything mac. do you think it's worth it to shell out the extra money?

[ericaleigh777]

Hey thanks for the request! At this time I only have one EDM brush the flat top but I can honestly say is is just as good of quality in my opinion. The bristles are soft and sturdy and it does a great job just like mac. I know some people say the handles arent as sturdy on the EDM brushes but as far as the actual brush they seem just as a high in quality to me. :D

[calady11]

Erica, your face makeup looks great! I'm glad you're feeling better. I was wondering if you and your husband got the house you wanted? Take care!

[ericaleigh777]

Hey girl! Thanks for asking! That house actually fell through. It had some problems we didnt kno about but we have found another for a better price. It needs some work but we should have in done by a couple months and be in! SO WOOT! lol

[Gottahavemakeup]

So True! The Mac Palette is very small. True also, All Mac deliveries come in a black box with black tissue, nothing special for anyone! Pros get a huge discount, once you have completed your schooling you will be able to apply for this. You also will need a company you work for, tax i.d. etc all the way with the county to be approved by MAC> oh, and your own personal business card including all of the above details with your license number

[ericaleigh777]

SHH!!! So much work to do to get a pro card lol It makes me depressed. If only they would make an exception for poor people haha :P

[afgnilli]

can you do a rview on the 266 eyeliner brush please? :)

[ericaleigh777]

Sure I can do that! Thanks for the request!

[Dhalia63]

Crossed over to the dark side there is no coming back:) love mac

[ericaleigh777]

lol I dunno if I am completely crossed over yet haha But I do love everything I have gotten to try! :D

[colleenator]

Loved the haul! There are artist brushes that are similar to the MAC brushes. They are waaaaaay cheaper too. Just go to Michael's or an artist supplies store to get them. Loew Cornell artist brushes are amazing and crazy similar to MAC brushes.

[ericaleigh777]

I want to check some of those out sooo bad and we dont have a michaels anywhere near me. :( They look fabulous! Thanks for the heads up!

[colleenator]

You can just go to any art supplies store. Im pretty sure they sell paint brushes xP And no problem! I love your new hair colour too!

[iloveulta2]

well look at you go Ms.Erica....I feel the need to sing "Moving on up" (theme song to the Jefferson's) lol...so happy to see you making videos again....really missed you =)

[ericaleigh777]

lol Thanks girl. I was so lucky to be helped out. I really had a lack of stuff. But now I actually have some things to work with! Thanks to NICE people. ;) I feel so excited to get started lol Thanks girl!

[CrisstynaJ]

You look so gorgeous! Did you color your hair? I'm so happy for you, doing your first MAC haul! I know how you feel, I don't own any MAC, haven't for goin on 10-11 years now! My husband is looking for work, so I know how it can be to have to put things aside and focus on what's important. Hopefully I'll be able to make a Mac video one day soon!

[ericaleigh777]

Yeah I did! Thanks for noticing! I always go back to black hair in the end lol I know girl it is super hard to try and budget for stuff like this. I was so lucky to have some things to swap and have a couple of people I know help me out. It's way to expensive. :(

[hannarocks10]

Can you do reviews on the special edition brushes? They look awesome, and I might get them if possible for my birthday

[ericaleigh777]

Sure I can do that! I can already tell you that they are exactly like the big ones. The only one that is a little different is the 168 and its not as full as the big one so it doesnt blend as well. :( But the other ones are great!

[Wonderful86]

you look extra pretty here !

nice haul =]

[ericaleigh777]

Aww, thank you! :D

[annahlease]

love your videos :)

[ericaleigh777]

Thanks girl!

[Amberannn]

i always just get a brown box when i order from the regular mac website...

[ericaleigh777]

Hmm, I dunno then. Maybe it depends on the size of the order or something. I dunno. Sorry :(

[LipRouge]

LOL... Your accent's badass.

[ericaleigh777]

Um, thanks I think! My accent has never been called badass before. I feel kinda proud haha :D

[lovelylilsoldier]

You look good with black hair.

[ericaleigh777]

Thanks! I'm so happy to have the black hair back! lol

[marlie8]

was it all expensive?

[ericaleigh777]

Well, like I said a lot of it I had swapped for and some other things were given to me by a couple of friends but the stuff I did purchase was pretty expensive. It adds up quick so you have to be careful and really pick out what you will use.

[Howliee]

Love your videos but I hope you don't become one of those people who only use MAC. I liked that you didn't use it. Most of us folks can't afford it. :(

[londonengland123]

agreed!

[ericaleigh777]

No worries! I'll never use all MAC! :D I'm too poor for that lol

[marlie8]

yeah ik

[ericaleigh777]

lol Girl I totally understand! And dont worry I can never afford to use all mac. I am a bargain hunter for life! lol But It's nice to try a few things out so I can compare for you guys! :D

[sangroyal1]

that's a bunch of mac stuff ... i can't wait to see your tutorials using them :)

[ericaleigh777]

Thanks! I know I'm totally excited to use everything in tutorials. It's going to make it a lot easier having some good brushes!

[beyerprep]

if your not home you can always go to ups to pick it up yourself...ups leaves a note telling you were you can get your item or you can wait another day for it to be delivered.

[ericaleigh777]

They wont let us do that here for some reason. :( I wish they could.

[sanfrancisco48]

I **love** MAC!! Happy to see you have some! Thanks for sharing!

[ericaleigh777]

Thanks girl! It's totally exciting to finally have some to play around with and I am impressed! :D

[lightninangel63]

Great Haul. Thank you for sharing.

[ericaleigh777]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!

[ILuvWhatTheBuck]

lol i so hate that your buying MAC stuff now cuz i can't really afford to buy anymore makeup for a good bit due to overspending on makeup here lately. Though i would love to have more mac stuff, all i have is 3 lip products :(. pls dont start just using the mac stuff.

[ericaleigh777]

Aww lol I know what you mean but dont worry, that's all the mac for me for a while! I have no where near enough money for all mac lol I'm a bargain hunter for life lol

[emosareghey]

the 239 is AMAZING!

[ericaleigh777]

Thanks! It looks like it is a phenomenal brush. I have used it a couple times now and it really does the trick for packing better than any other brush i have had. :D Glad you like it too!

[aex3princess]

I'm happy for you, but will you be using other makeup products?

[ericaleigh777]

YES FOR SURE! lol I have no where near enough money to use all MAC I'm still a bargain hunter for life lol

[emmajane1181]

You have such a lovely manner. Really enjoying your videos :) xx

[ericaleigh777]

Wow, thank you. That was a very sweet comment! :D

[Lucystarpr]

Love the stuff you got.

I have Passionate e/s & I LOVE IT!!!

You should try the 219 pencil brush it's one of my favorites (actually it's the only MAC brush I have, lol) & it's really good for smudging (it's that right spelled?) & lining your inner & ourter corners, it's amazing.

Take care

:)

[ericaleigh777]

Hey thanks for the suggestion! I was actually considering picking the 219 up when I got a little extra dough. :D It definitely looks like something I would get a lot of use out of. I'll for sure get it now lol Thanks!

[MacGirlx3]

im requesting..... can u do a review on how 2 apply blush with the 187.....

Can u please subscribe to me... im 12 years old and nobody comments my makeup videos

[ericaleigh777]

I can do that! Thanks for the request and of course I will sub! :D

[CrystalChrome]

So, so, so, SO glad you're back. Missed you a lot! Thanks for the haul video.

[ericaleigh777]

Thanks girl! I also did and update video before this one if you haven't checked it out and you are wondering where I was lol

[MillsEJM]

your lighting is awesome!

[ericaleigh777]

Thanks! I did it during the day when there was actually a little sun coming through the window and it helped a lot. I am going to do my vids like that from now on! :D

[missymia520]

Thanks for the information!

But what's the Mac Pro website ..?

love your videos; you're outstandingly gorgeous<3.

[ericaleigh777]

The mac pro website is just macpro(dot)com.

Thanks for the comment! :D

[jmsgirl95]

i love your eyemake up!!!!! can you do a tutorial on it please?

[ericaleigh777]

Sure I can do that! Thanks for the request!

[BeautyInPink19]

You look really pretty in this video <3

[ericaleigh777]

[australialover24]

YOur makeup is fantastic. Please do a tutorial on that

[ericaleigh777]

Sure I can do that! Thanks for the request!

[myystiqueen]

nice haul erica...!! loving them.. ^^

[ericaleigh777]

Thanks girl!

[vannahhalo]

ahhhhh you got clarity! I LOVE CLARITY!! everyone always seems to get electric eel. pft

[ericaleigh777]

lol Awesome! Glad I found someone else who likes clarity. I know what you mean you never see anyone with that one, always electric eel. I wonder why?

[wintervixen1]

Well, you're making me wish I had enough money to order from MAC! Maybe after my vacation... :P

[ericaleigh777]

lol Now don't spend too much! It's easy to get carried away with MAC stuff lol

[beautyblogs]

heyy erica!

you know whats odd? here in canada everytime ive ordered from mac cosmetics i get the box you get from mac pro and the receipt you get from mac pro, ive ordered once from mac pro and it was the same deal ugly box, same receipt, never in canada have i gotten that black box and the tissue paper, its a nice touch, i wish they had that here, any canadians that can attest to this?

[ericaleigh777]

Hmm, that's so weird all of my Canadian viewers have said the same thing. Maybe because MAC is based in Canada? I dunno. Sorry you dont get a black box. :(

[xqueensexii]

u look gawjaaaasss !!

and i LOVE your makeup on this vid..!

Plus congrats on ur mac stuff <3

bless u <3xx

[ericaleigh777]

Thanks girl! :D

[labeaumonde]

thanks for the info on the mac pro! i always wanted to order from them, but i never knew if i could without a pro card. :)

[ericaleigh777]

Thanks! Glad I could help. A lot of people think that. I did too until recently so I thought it might help some of you guys out. :D

[rainbowfuckinbright]

You're hair looks great! I love that color.

[ericaleigh777]

Thanks! I love black hair! I feel more me lol

[ImStillSyren]

In Canada the box is never black - ever. Just plain old cardboard. ): I want fancy black boxes! lol

[ericaleigh777]

Aww, that sucks! Mean MAC why would they do that? :(

[MakeupByTiffanyD]

YAY!! Awesome stuff! I love all those eye shadows! ...well, and pretty much everything else! haha

OH, and I MUST get Moss Scape....that's a paint pot I've never bought for some reason, but it is really gorgeous!

[ericaleigh777]

Thanks girl! Yeah Moss Scape is really neat it makes some awesome effects under black and pretty much any other color. It's pretty cool and you can pair it with things I never though you could have. :D

[dani2018]

Wow you have a great brush collection now. I only have one real mac brush its the 190 but I stopped using liquid foundation as well so I don't use it. I bought some fake mac brushes from ebay and they came in the plastic sleve with barcode as well, but they were totally fake. Fortunately I was able to get my money back through paypall :) I mostly use posh brushes now and they are great!

[ericaleigh777]

Wow, those must have been some really good fakes. How did you find out? Take them to a MAC counter? That's interesting cause I hadn't heard they had starting faking the sleeves too lol They are hardcore! Thanks for letting me know!

[dani2018]

Yea they are real good fakes. I bought them all separately from the same seller and they were in the plastic with a barcode. The barcode was printed on though it was not a real sticker. I actually made a video about them so you can see how real the fakes look, but let me warn you I cuss a little in the video, I was just so mad I got ripped off! but I found out because the quality was real cheap and when I cleaned the 182 and 224 they stained the tissue black! They looked real in the pics on ebay

[XOXOThatGirl]

Please, please do a video on the Prep & Prime SPF 50. My counter is always out of it, and I don't want to purchase it online without learning more. I'm really interested in the smell. Most higher SPF products don't smell too good. Thanks!

[ericaleigh777]

Wow that is a great question and a great request. As far as I can tell right now it really doesn't have a smell but I have been sick so lol It's hard to smell anything. I'll for sure do that as soon as my sense of smell is back to normal! :D Thanks for the request!

[marmaladexskies]

Congrats!

awesome haull.

very informative!

can't wait for your new tutorials

[ericaleigh777]

Thanks girl! :D

[cutiepiedev]

Actually I order from mac pro all the time and its a black box with black tissue also. However, I'm an artist so I have a pro card...maybe that is the difference I dunno. Not that it matters what color the box is but just thought I'd say... thats not why they are different. LOL Ordering online vs ordering over the phone is why the boxes are different. :-)

[ericaleigh777]

Oh ok. lol I didn't know that. I just assumed. Maybe it's if you have a pro card you still get the pretty packaging. Hmm, I dunno lol But thank you for pointing that out. :D I appreciate it!

[cutiepiedev]

no problem. ;-) Oh and kudos for pointing out the size the palette actually is. They look so much bigger in the videos. When i bought my first one i was like...wtf! lol Very informative !!!

[Gottahavemakeup]

So True! The Mac Palette is very small. True also, All Mac deliveries come in a black box with black tissue, nothing special for anyone

[ericaleigh777]

lol I know I was totally shocked as to the size. I guess in videos everything looks bigger though. :D

[maggie1197]

is fix plus wurth buying?

[DancetotheMusicxxx]

yes

[ericaleigh777]

I found it did do a better job and made my foundation have better lasting power than the dupe did. It also has a really nice smell but just be careful if you are allergic to a lot of smells and maybe spray it on your wrist at a mac counter or something to make sure there is no allergies. I do like it a lot better though. :D

[Gottahavemakeup]

FYI Fix Plus is not a mixing medium, please do not purchase it for this Erica. Mac Pro has a great mixing medium especially for this. I happen to be a Pro Member

[ericaleigh777]

Thanks for letting me know. I didn't know that. Everyone I have seen on here has used the fix + for it. I'll look into the pro one. :D

[DancetotheMusicxxx]

when I ordered a palette and a six eyeshadows from mac pro, it was dhl

[ericaleigh777]

Hmm, good to know. Maybe they just go with whatever shipping service is more affordable at the time. I dunno lol But thanks for letting me know!
