[COLOR=0000FF]   This is the setup that works best for me.  They are 4 individual racks that I mounted in twos, on on top of the other. Each hold sover 100 NPs depending on the size &[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]   shape of the bottles.  [/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF]The racks are completely fullI now and I have an overflow box.  So ridiculous but I can't help myself!!![/COLOR]

I don't, but if I do create one at any point I'll shoot you a PM! I have a stupid amount of backups because I'll fall in love with a highlighter and decide I want it to last the rest of my life, lol! The only plus (I guess) is that because I'm so fussy, I'm rarely tempted to grab new releases as I feel I already have all my HG highlighters... One could not resist LM Indiscretion though.

I've asked before,but I want to ask again.  What type of brush do you use to put on your highlighter?  Do you just do the C from your eye to your cheekbone? If you use a fan brush, how do you position the brush. I'm serious too, i had a fan brush and it wasn't working, then I saw a picture of someone placing it horizontally against their skin, and not with the tips of the fan.  Does that make sense? LOL
I find fan brushes such hard work! I can't use them properly to save my life. I use my MAC 129 brush to apply highlighter as I prefer a less intense look, but it really depends on what effect you want to achieve.

I hate the little flimsy fan brushes! They barely pick up any product and it always goes on so uneven. However I like my highlight pretty prominent on my cheeks. I figure if I'm going to wear it, I want people to see it! I use this huge fan brush I got in this no name kit of brushes I got on eBay bite much thicker than I've seen in stores or online anywhere else and it picks up product like a dream.

I use My fan brush horrizontally. It really helps to blend it! Also helps if you're using a fluffier fan brush - I use the it cosmetics one

Lately I've been using the Real techniques setting brush. When I want a more subtle highlight, I use MAC 188. I've never had a fan brush, do I need one

thanks ladies! keep the suggestions coming. :)
I use sephora's tapered highlighting brush! (Wait it's called pro contour brush, lol.) Not sure if it's new. It was sitting on the front displays with all the new contour stuff and a few other brushes. Its #79. It perfectly hilights the tops of my cheekbones!

I use a fan brush but like @jaymuse I hate those flimsy ones that are so abundant. I've got two at IMATS one from Royal and Langnickle and one from Morphe I think. They are thick and substantial. I have a third that I got from Ulta it's from their professional line. I like brushes like I like highlighters. I'm just saying. Sometimes just tapping it on with a finger works just as good.

I use mac 165 it is great since it's pointed and makes it easier to control where I apply the HL

Ooooh. Do you have the names/numbers for the R&L one and the Morphe one? I want to pick them up at IMATS as well.

I just got my hands on Bobbi Brown Copper Diamond - can't wait for it to come! I also ordered MAC Global Glow today, I'm excited to try that too.

Now THAT actually looks like a fan brush worth using! My little Laura Mercier fan brush could maybe be used to tickle a pixie, but even then, it might be inadequate.
