An elastic body for holding a cosmetic, which can suppress that the cosmetic included in the elastic body for holding a cosmetic is taken out from the elastic body in a large amount at a time at the initial stage of use, wherein the elastic body for holding a cosmetic has a three-dimensional structure, and at least a dense fibrous surface layer and a sparse fibrous substrate; a cosmetic-containing elastic body in which a cosmetic is included in the elastic body for holding cosmetic; and a cosmetic article having the cosmetic-containing elastic body.

The present invention relates to a cosmetic system comprising an applicator and a gel composition, and methods for making-up and enhancing the appearance of keratinous materials using the systems.

A portable applicator for uniformly applying insect repellent or sunscreen upon human skin. A jar-like container normally holds the liquid contents. The container is sealed by a circular lid. The lid supports a downwardly-projecting sponge wiper that is saturated with liquid for subsequent topical application. The underside of the lid has a glue area surrounded by a peripheral ring for securing the wiper, and channels for directing fluid. A wringer-saturator, in the form of a foraminous partition, is disposed between the applicator contents and the wiper. When the applicator is closed, the wiper is compressed slightly by contact with the wringer-saturator. As the lid is removed from the container, the wiper will expand slightly, absorbing and holding liquid. When the lid is reattached, the wiper is compressed slightly against the wringer-saturator and liquid is partially expelled. The wiper has a fiberglass fabric covering for preventing dripping and easing topical application.

Nail polish remover product for toe or fingernails is applied to a painted or artificial nail and left thereon for a predetermined period of time to dissolve the nail polish and/or nail bonding agent. Preferably a color change occurs to depict the appropriate dwelling time to dissolve the nail polish. Certain embodiments include odor reducing components. Preferably the product is layered and includes an exterior odor impervious material, an encapsulated acetone or nail polish removing agent, an absorbent layer, and optionally a peelable backing, with the product being sized to accommodate contact with a person's nail.

The present invention relates to a cosmetic for hair 100 including a container 1 having a liquid hair cosmetic preparation L accommodated in the inside thereof; and an applicator 2 provided with not only an application body 4 at one end of an application shaft 3 but also a container lid part 5 at the other end of the application shaft 3, wherein the hair cosmetic preparation L has a viscosity at 25° C. of 5,000 mPa.Math.s or less; and the application body 4 is provided with an absorptive member having a density of 15 kg/m.sup.3 or more and 95 kg/m.sup.3 or less, and the absorptive member covers the entirety of the one end of the application shaft 3.

The device (100) comprises a container (200) for containing a fragrance (300) having at least one opening (450), an absorbing element (500) with a first portion (510) to be received within the container (200) continuously in direct contact with the fragrance (300) and with a second portion (520) at least partially outside the container (200) arranged through the opening (450), and a cover (600) that can be made at least partially of an absorbing material, which covers, in at least a substantially fluid-tight and impermeable manner, and at least partially, the second portion (520) of the absorbing element (500).

Systems and methods here may include a two armed, spring biased applicator tool. In some examples, the arms may include an approximately 90 degree offset arm with silicone pads to aid in application of false eyelashes. In some examples, the system may include a locking mechanism to hold the two arms together for storage or application.

An applicator system for containing and dispensing a cosmetic substance may include a flexible container defining a cavity and including an open first end and a closed second end, a dispensing mechanism extending from the open first end into the cavity towards the second end, and an applicator operably coupled with at least a portion of the dispensing mechanism. The applicator has a body and an external surface. Upon exerting a force on a portion of the flexible container, a predetermined quantity of cosmetic substance is dispensed from the cavity, through the dispensing mechanism, through the body of the applicator to the external surface of the applicator.

A personal care device includes a handle including a head supporting a personal care implement, a cradle longitudinally extending from the head to a proximal extremity open to the cradle, an elongate opening open to the cradle and extending longitudinally between the head and the proximal extremity and defined by mutually respective longitudinal edges, and a container extending longitudinally through the cradle. The container is deformable and a longitudinal part of the container extends laterally outward from the cradle through the elongate opening beyond the longitudinal edges. The container includes a dispensing opening proximate to the proximal extremity that is normally closed by a closure. In another embodiment, the container is coupled in fluid communication to the personal care implement.
