Results: Woman Suing Lancome for Shabbat Makeup Fail
The New York Post reports that an Orthodox Jewish woman from N.Y. is suing Lancome because their product, Teint Idole Ultra 24 hour foundation, didn’t last through Shabbat. Rorie Weisberg applied makeup before sundown on Friday evening, and claims that it did not provide the “endless perfection” and “divine comfort” it advertised—an issue for the observant Weisberg, for whom reapplication is ritually forbidden (for Orthodox Jews) until Saturday evening. The product charging — $45 for a 1-ounce bottle — “faded significantly” overnight, stated Weisberg.

Rorie Weisberg is correct, because Lancome shouldn't have made that claim; she should sue

I think it's somewhat silly, can you really expect these types of items to live up to their claims?
