I could not resist posting this, despite my not having anything unique to say about it. sorry, but indulge me. It made me laugh.
A frum lady from Monsey is suing Lancome - the company that makes cosmetics. Lancome makes some fancy and expensive makeup that is supposed to last 24 hours. This makeup costs $45 per ounce. And, Rorie Weisberg from Monsey says, she buys this makeup for Shabbos so she can look good all the way through, because she cannot put makeup on on Shabbos itself, but by the day of Shabbos the makeup is already fading.
Weisberg got upset about this because she bought it in the hopes of being able to continue looking good throughout Shabbos for her sons upcoming bar mitzvah in June.

I don't have much to say. The story is pretty amusing to me. The one thought that struck my mind is that Shabbos is really longer than 24 hours, and she probably is not applying the makeup at the last minute before Shabbos. So depending on when the makeup is fading and when it was applied, it might not actually be fraudulent advertising. As well, just because they say it stays on for 24 hours, that does not mean it looks the same all the way through the entire 24 hours - is it really meant to look at hour 23 exactly the way it looked at hour 2? And then at hour 24 it suddenly just disappears?
