Organizing your beauty products isn't the easiest thing in the world. In fact, it's really hard. So we consulted an expert for some advice.

LA Closet Design is headed up by organizational genius Lisa Adams (she's more of a genius/wizard hybrid, if you ask me). Adams has made the rounds with several celeb clients, including Eddie Murphy, Carmen Electra, Kris Jenner, Kendall & Kylie Jenner, Kyle Richards, Whitney Port, Jillian Michaels, Kara Dioguardi and Jewel. In case you don't get your fill of Lisa on our site, watch her in a new show called Million Dollar Closets that airs on HGTV starting June 12th.

Here are Lisa's pro tips around all of that bathroom clutter. Trust me-you'd have never thought of any of these on your own. Get ready to be wow'ed and organized.

I'm not above sliding on an ancient Lip Smacker when sifting through the contents of my childhood bathroom. Ocassionally nostalgia for things that once called a Kaboodle home just gets the best of me.

Beyond that, though, I'm pretty diligent about replacing my lip glosses and nail polishes. It's a bit annoying that each beauty product lands somewhere dfferent on the expiration date spectrum, since I'd love to treat Sephora like Sam's Club and just replenish my stash of loyal favorites in one fell swoop.

But keeping track of those different shelf lives is worth it. Beauty products aren't only cleaner and safer to use when replaced regularly, they work better, too. And even if you're not afraid of a little bacteria, that's reason enough to restock them on schedule, right?

If you've ever wondered what capitalism smells like, I give you Money cologne and Money eau de parfum. One is for him, one is for her, and both come wrapped in what appear to be actual shreds of cold, hard cash. They were created to help "motivate American workers facing tough economic times," reads the label, because according to a Japanese study, the scent of money pumped into the workspace allegedly increased the productivity of the workers.

Though both purport to smell like freshly minted bills, the men's version is faintly woodsy and the women's is a soft, fruity floral. As anyone who has ever been a cashier can tell you, real money smells of sweat, desperation, and, apparently, cocaine. Yes, a University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth study found that nearly 90 percent of our cash has traces of the drug on it. Dirty money, indeed!

We always love finding the next great thing when it comes to beauty, but sometimes true comfort and results come from returning to our roots. Here, six women share their ancestral beauty secrets.

Naoumie, Cameroonian
Is there an iconic Cameroonian beauty aid? If there's one cure-all for everything from scratches to dry patches, it's palm oil. I have memories of my grandmother using it on me when I was very little.

Which part of the palm tree is the oil from? The kind that's good for skin comes from the kernel, which you mash after removing it from the middle of the fruit.

Have you found palm oil in the States? The pure oil is harder to find, though it's added to some beauty products. But since arriving here, I've mostly switched to olive oil. While similar, it's lighter and less oily -- and you can use it on cuticles, scalp, hair, and limbs for all-over softness.

Are there times when you still have to use your palm oil? In the dead of winter, when you're more scales than skin,

Raise your hand if you love Halle Berry.

I've been trying to mimic her ageless skin, iconic haircut, and flawless makeup since I saw "Boomerang." So when I got the chance to chat with her longtime makeup artist, Fiona Stiles, I was downright giddy. I mean, Fiona has been Halle's secret weapon for years -- and I couldn't wait to get the inside scoop on the stuff she uses on my celebrity girl crush.

Luckily for me, Fiona doesn't need a suitcase full of goodies to make Halle and her other celebrity clientele red carpet ready. She told me she uses these 9 must-haves.

Can't believe her magic comes from only a small stash of makeup? You will when you see her picks.

Why buy a medicine cabinetful of products when that humble tub you have on hand can do so many jobs?

1. REMOVE EYE MAKEUP: Coat your lids, then gently swab with a tissue.

2. HIGHLIGHT CHEEKBONES: Fake a model's bone structure by patting and blending a tiny amount across cheekbones. The shine attracts light and creates a contoured effect.

3. GLOSS YOUR LIPS: Add red food dye-or tastier cherry Kool-Aid powder-to a dab of petroleum jelly for instant lip color.

4. INTENSIFY EYE SHADOW: Morph your powder shadows into creams for a more pigmented color (prime your lids with foundation and translucent powder first to avoid creasing).
