The Defendant: L'Oréal and Lancôme
The Complaint: Weisberg, an Orthodox Jewish woman from New York, purchased a 1 oz. bottle of Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24H Foundation, $45, to wear to her son's bar mitzvah. Since Jewish law forbids women from applying makeup from sundown on Friday until Saturday night, Weisberg hoped the 24-hour foundation would help her comply with her religious practices and keep her looking flawless for the big event. Weisberg tested the foundation, wearing it for a full 24 hours (AKA sleeping in it), and found that it left her skin cakey and had almost completely come off by 3pm the following day.
She's currently suing Lancôme and its parent company L'Oréal for "deceptive acts and practices," and seeking "unspecified damages," and "a corrective advertising campaign." No word on if she's found another option for the bar mitzvah.
