  14. Mary Kay & Direct Selling • Opinions of the brand: no opinion because of brand ignorance, nice quality, targeted toward older ladies, expensive • “I feel like they just aren’t up to date on current trends and have too many products. You can just go through their catalog for forever and never know what to get.” (strongly agreed to I really enjoy buying cosmetics.) • “Good brand but too expensive and a little overrated.” (agreed to I really enjoy buying cosmetics.)

  15. Shortcomings • Very little diversity; most of the respondents were from Oklahoma, White and full-time students • Not all respondents finished the survey; skipped questions
