How do you organize all of your beauty stash? Where do you house it all? Do you have a system?

*edit* Two questions were posted today (oops!), but it appears both got quite a few answers so they’ll stand back-to-back!  Call it extra entertainment for your Sunday

Do you try to get others into the “beauty world”? Who have you tried? Any successes? Have you turned anyone into a bigger beauty buff than yourself?

Sigh, I have tried, but never succeeded.  The closest I ever got was with my cousin, but it never grew to a full-blown addiction.  I bought my sister around $400 worth of MAC for her 16th birthday, and it continues to sit untouched!  The best I’ve been able to convince my mom is to use a face cream I gave her (I had several samples of La Mer).

What is your stance on animal-testing and beauty products? Is it something that concerns you? Will you refuse to buy from a company that does? Do you make sure all your products are “cruelty-free”?  Is it a non-issue for you?

If you were using Urban Decay Fishnet eyeshadow, what look would you create with it? What shadows would you use? What would you use on cheeks? Anything added to the lips?

Create a look using whatever you want, as long as you include Fishnet! Feel free to share links to photos of your look(s) using it in the comments.
