Woman With Chutzpah Sues L'Oreal

[tammywammy]

MANHATTAN (CN) - In a federal class action, an Orthodox Jew accuses L'Oreal and Lancome of falsely advertising their "24-hour makeup;" she can't apply makeup on the Sabbath and it would look lousy for her son's Bar Mitzvah, she says in the complaint.

----

The dual objectives refer to defendants' claims - actually, three of them - that the stuff would be "retouch free," "perfectly flawless," and provide "24 hour lasting perfection and comfort."


Not willing to leave it to chance, Weisberg says, she "decided to test it from sundown Thursday to sundown Friday to see if she liked it and if the product worked. Plaintiff did so because she did not want to be stuck wearing the product over the weekend if it did not work."

Alas! From the moment it went on at 5 p.m. Thursday, "Plaintiff felt that the product made her skin look very cakey. By Friday morning, plaintiff's skin was shiny, particularly around her nose. Moreover, the product that had been applied had faded significantly, making plaintiff's face look uneven. It looked like very little of the product was remaining on plaintiff's face, which was confirmed when she removed the remainder of the product at 3 p.m. with a white cotton ball, where very little of the product was found on the pad. Based on her experience, plaintiff did not receive the benefit of longwearing efficacy as claimed by Lancome in its advertising and on the product packaging."

4. one of our 1st world problems is the constant lies we are fed, as consumers.

I'm tickled someone can stand up and truthfully call them liars.

6. I would think sleeping it in, rolling around on your pillow, would remove it.

It's makeup, it's supposed to be washed off every night. It's not a permanent face paint.

8. Why didn't she just email her complaint to them and ask for her money back??

That's what any NORMAL person would do.
