Do you worry? 

I'm not talking about the big stuff. Nothing that would show up in a Thomas Friedman column. 

It's the really really, personally important, how did I actually exist without this, get through my day, information stuff. 

Makeup Expiration kits. Yup. For your make-up. 

Ordered on line. For around $10. Write down the date your purchased it, glue onto the product. Or your forehead.

Of course there is a disclaimer that affixing an expiration date on your mascara, cover up, concealer, gloss or spackle package doesn't mean that its shelf life is sacred. You still may be a petri dish for bacteria growing on your facial parts. You, like me, might have otherwise thought that mold green was the new colour du jour.

So, after you have sniffed your 2%, picked out the slightly brownish lettuce leaves from your salad, or rethought broiling the fish that was emitting an overly fishy aroma, you can rest assured that your foundation, mascara and blush are all in their prime. 

Like you.
