What are your favorite colors (both generally and for makeup products)?
In general, purple and teal. For make-up, I usually stick to neutrals... brown eyeliner and eye shadow, a neutral gloss. Boring, I know!

Mostly teal, grey, and brown in the living room, yellow and green in the bedroom.
Do you own a lot of items from any particular brand?
Most of my make-up is currently from Mary Kay, only because my sister sells it. But I'm not particularly attached to that brand. I'm actually looking for make-up that's more natural. For other beauty products I use mainly Juice Beauty.

What are your feelings on prepared/unsealed samples?
