I, as countless makeup lovers everywhere, tend to lose track of exactly where half of my products came from. Unless I'm using it daily, a lot of them just sit in a bag and get shuffled around now and then.

As the weather gets hotter and wetter this summer, we need to make way for sturdier beauty products and ditch those we can do without.

Here's a list of appropriate - and need I say necessary - expiration dates to keep track of your makeup.

1. Mascara - 2 to 3 months.

Unfortunately mascara is the first to go, and often the most commonly overlooked. Don't wait for that sucker to dry out!

2. Lip Gloss - 12 months.

Lip gloss lasts a noteably shorter amount of time than lipstick, as you constantly dip the used brush back into the product to be sealed up.

3. Concealer - 18 months.

Concealer has a much longer shelf life than expected, but let's be real - that will be used up much faster than needed.

4. Eyeshadow - 2 years.

Luckily you have time to give each shade its chance to shine!

5. Lipstick - 2 years.

Should it last that long, two years actually seems like a very fair lifespan for a product used on your mouth.

6. Eyeliner - 4 to 6 months.

This shouldn't surprise anyone. Any product getting shoved towards your waterline has gone through a lot.

Highlighter - 2 years

Giphy

Let your shimmer shine long-time!

8. Blush - 2 years.

Don't worry about running out when you get too pale this winter - this guy is here to stay for a while.

9. Bronzer - 2 years.

You've got just as long to rock a contour, and that sounds like good news to me.

10. Brushes (cleaned) - multiple times per week!.

Find the time. Do it. No excuses. Your skin will thank you!

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.
