Fresh Faced Sabbath

Well it's official - People will sue over absolutely anything. 

 

Did you see this in the news - Lawsuit claims Lancôme's 24-hour makeup fails Sabbath test

Orthodox Jew says what??  This is just nuts.  The main gist of the suit is as follows:

 

"“Plaintiff is an Orthodox Jew and abides by Jewish law by not applying makeup from sundown on Friday until nighttime on Saturday. As such, Plaintiff often wears the same makeup for at least a 24 hour period between Friday and Saturday evening,” the suit states."

 

AKA, Crazytown, USA.

 

"In April, the plaintiff tested the product prior to the Sabbath. “She applied the Product at approximately 5:00 p.m. on a 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 skin 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 3:00 p.m. with a white cotton ball, where very little of the Product was found on the pad,” the suit states."

 

What a colossal waste of every one's time and vanity.  Get a life lady.  And get an esthetician.  There are more important things in life to worry about than looking fresh on the Sabbath.  Like which ice cream flavor to try next.

 

Make Me Over

I just found the best deal on makeup I've ever found (that isn't from a drug store).  I just went to Ulta to find some makeup for my sister's wedding.  I almost bought a trio of one brand for $28.  Then I saw this: 

Only $39 for all 5 items - Unheard of!

It's $149 worth of Smashbox makeup for only $39!  And I'm not just being a sucker and believing this to be true.  If you actually add up the value of the 5 separate items that is the amount you would pay a la carte.

The blush is a great pink color I know I'll love.  The eye liner is "Stone" (brownish), so you can't go wrong with that.  There's primer and a great shiny lip gloss that won't make you look like a whore.  And a pallet of 4 eye shadows and an "illuminator" color that I would had pick if I could choose my own colors.  They are all neutral-ish.  I'm a neutral girl.

In fact, I'm not really a makeup girl at all.  I just threw away some eye shadow that had actual rust on it (probably from high school), and I have bought mascara a total of 3 times in my entire life.  That's not just not-into-makeup...that's borderline unsanitary.

But now that I know there are deals like this out there I might start collecting shadows, brushes, blush - oh my!



Here's a closeup of the eye shadows in real life so you can see they are much more neutral and not all shades of multi-ethnic foundation like the box indicates.  Trust me, I don't just have terrible taste.  The box really doesn't show the true colors.  

I will make you beautiful!!

Don't believe me!?  Go to your local Ulta and find it in the Smashbox aisle.  Great value, and options!!
