A refill lipstick cartridge that prevents or avoids operation of the dispensing mechanism for the lipstick until the cartridge has been secured into the lower case of a lipstick case. The refill lipstick cartridge has a locked or non-functioning configuration, in which the lipstick cannot be dispensed from the refill lipstick cartridge until the refill lipstick cartridge is installed into the lower case of the lipstick case, and an unlocked or functioning configuration when installed into the lipstick case, in which the dispensing mechanism for the lipstick can function to both extend from the lipstick bullet, and retract the lipstick bullet into, the lipstick case, typically manually under the control of the user of the lipstick product. A locking mechanism that employs either friction or mechanical locking elements is manipulated to position the refill lipstick cartridge between the locked configuration and the unlocked configuration.

An applicator device for a product, said applicator device comprising a housing, a product carriage, for supporting the product, that is mobile within the housing between an extended state and a retracted position, and a retraction mechanism configured to move the product carriage into the retracted position after a predetermined period of time in the extended state. A glue stick comprising said applicator device and an adhesive product.

The present disclosure is directed to a cover for preventing use of a dispenser. The cover includes a body having an open end, a closed end, and a sidewall extending between the open end and the closed end. The sidewall has an outer peripheral surface and an inner peripheral surface which encompasses an inner space for receiving a dispenser.

A refill lipstick cartridge that prevents or avoids operation of the dispensing mechanism for the lipstick until the cartridge has been secured into the lower case of a lipstick case. The refill lipstick cartridge has a locked or non-functioning configuration, in which the lipstick cannot be dispensed from the refill lipstick cartridge until the rain lipstick cartridge is installed into the lower case of the lipstick case, and an unlocked or functioning configuration when installed into the lipstick case, in which the dispensing mechanism for the lipstick can function to both extend from the lipstick bullet, and retract the lipstick bullet into, the lipstick case, typically manually under the control of the user of the lipstick product.

A lip balm applicator product comprises upper and lower portions that are connectable together to define the applicator product being of a substantially spherical shape. A support platform is located in the lower portion and accommodates a quantity of lip balm having an arcuate surface. A lip balm comprises a composition of waxes and oils in solid form and formed to have an arcuate surface. The composition is formed to have the arcuate surface using a hot pour process. A method of manufacturing a lip balm comprises providing a receptacle having a concave arcuate surface. A lip balm material in a heated, liquefied phase is poured into the receptacle. Once poured, the heated, liquefied phase is allowed to solidify such that a surface of the solidified lip balm material has an arcuate configuration that corresponds to the concave arcuate surface of the receptacle.

A rotating cosmetic case including an outer metal jacket (1) fitted and mechanically retained to a sheath of synthetic material, at the same time by at least one rotational lock and at least one tensile lock. A rotational lock may include a cut-out (5) opening outwards at the lower end of the cylindrical wall of the metal jacket (1), this cut-out (5) being mounted in conjunction with a molded projection in the sheath, while the tensile lock may include at least one aperture (7) in the lower part of the cylindrical wall of the metal sheath (1) defining, with the lower end of the sheath (1), a wall portion (8) directed inwards with respect to a housing located in the sheath.
