Orthodox woman sues 'Lancome': "Makeup is not permanent on Shabbos"

Rory Weisberg, an orthodox woman from upstate New York, is suing the giant makeup company 'Lancome'. Reason: Makeup products – which should provide perfect cover for 24 hours - does last until the end of Shabbos.

According to Weisberg, the French company is guilty of false advertising and deception, as the packaging of cosmetics purchased was clearly stated that it provides "integrity over time" for 24 hours, which does not take place in practice.

The lawsuit was submitted after the bar mitzvah of her eldest son. In honor of the occasion, she especially looked for makeup which has the ability of long durability, so that it will last all Shabbos.

As reported by the New York Post, the plaintiff noted that false advertising because "the fact that it holds 24 hours is a central fact of purchase by the plaintiff, for being a makeup which is supposed to help her keep her religion and retain a natural look."

In her lawsuit she requires the makeup company Lancome, which belongs to L'Oreal, unprecedented compensation for her and for any another woman "victimized by fraud" and change the marketing way of cosmetics.

Lancome company spokeswoman said in response: "Lancome firmly believes that the claim has no basis, and we stand behind our products with pride. We will deal firmly with these charges in court. Since this issue is currently in litigation, we cannot comment further."
