There is provided herein a dispenser formed of card-based or paper-based material for a product in stick form. The dispenser includes a dispenser axis, a proximal end, a distal end, a product stick carrier, and a sleeve. The dispenser axis extends along a length of the dispenser. The product stick carrier is in the form of a cylindrical tube for receiving a product stick in use. The sleeve is in the form of a cylindrical tube, wherein the product stick carrier is located within the sleeve and wherein the product stick carrier and the sleeve are moveable axially relative to one another. The product stick carrier includes a cylindrical wall, a carrier proximal end, a carrier distal end and a plurality of tabs. The cylindrical wall has an inner surface and an outer surface. The product stick extends from the carrier distal end in use. The plurality of tabs extend inwardly toward the dispenser axis from the inner surface of the product stick carrier. The plurality of tabs are configured to engage a product stick supported by the product stick carrier in use to assist in securing the product stick within the product stick carrier.

A multiple cosmetic holder and applicator includes a plurality of cosmetic cartridges that receive standard cosmetics therein. The cartridges include an upper magnet disposed within the opening, and a lower annular groove on the cylindrical body. A main body holds the plurality of cosmetic cartridges and includes a base with depressions which include a lower magnet therein and which receive the cosmetic cartridges, locking mechanisms which interface with the annular groove of the cartridges to lock the cartridges within the depressions, and an outer case movable relative to the main body which has a pressable button that unlocks the locking mechanism from the cartridge. A removable cap covers the main body, the cartridges, and the standard cosmetics. A selector tube extends through an aperture in the cap to remove the cartridge when the button is pressed and the locking mechanism is unlocked.

A device for applying a cosmetic product includes a cup, a guide, and a sheath. The cup includes at least one lug. The guide includes a slot passed through by an associated lug of the cup, the slot comprising an upper edge. The sheath includes internally a helical groove for receiving the lug of the cup. The lug can have an upper flattened area, where the upper edge of the slot is inclined with respect to a radial plane.

A container for dispensing a cosmetic product includes a first container member and a second container member shaped and dimensioned for coupling together so as to define a cavity therebetween for storing a cosmetic product. The first container member includes an exterior surface and an interior surface. The first container member further includes an apex having an aperture formed therein and an open end opposite the apex, the open end defining a circumferential free edge that is opposite the aperture. A plurality of ribs radially extend from the interior surface of the first container member toward a central axis running through a center of the aperture such that the plurality of ribs define an elongated passageway extending on the central axis. Each of the plurality of ribs includes an edge attached to the interior surface, a free edge and a supporting edge shaped and dimensioned for supporting cosmetic product above the supporting edge after cosmetic product is gravity fed through the passageway. A plug covers the aperture after the cosmetic product has been fed into the cavity.

A cosmetic product includes a cup and a cosmetic substance. The cup has a cup body including first and second ends and forming a cup cavity and a liner at least partially disposed within the cup cavity that includes first and second ends and an inner sidewall forming a liner cavity. The liner is constructed from a swellable material. The cosmetic substance has first and second ends and an elongated body therebetween. At least a portion of the elongated body is disposable within the liner cavity and contacts a portion of the inner sidewall. Upon disposing at least a portion of the cosmetic substance within the liner cavity, the liner is adapted to swell in a direction toward the cosmetic substance to apply a retaining force thereto.

A product dispensing apparatus including a reusable product dispenser and a refill cartridge configured to releasably couple to the reusable product dispenser. The reusable product dispenser includes a housing defining a longitudinal axis, a base rotatably coupled to a proximal portion of the housing, and a telescope assembly. The base is configured to rotate about the longitudinal axis in a first direction and a second direction. The telescope assembly includes a proximal section and a distal section movable relative to the proximal section along the longitudinal axis defined by the housing between a collapsed condition and an extended condition. At least one of the proximal section or the distal section is operably coupled to the base such that rotation of the base about the longitudinal axis causes corresponding rotation of the telescope assembly about the longitudinal axis.

A cosmetic material carrier and a cartridge core assembly including same are provided. The cosmetic material carrier includes a tube body and a bottom plate fixedly connected to the tube body, where a lug protruding outward along a radial direction is provided on a sidewall of the tube body, and a tab for fixing a cosmetic material is provided on the bottom plate. The lug connected to a spiral portion is provided on the tube body. The tab for fixing a paste is provided on the bottom plate. The cosmetic material carrier is an integrated tube. Therefore, a manufacturing process and a mounting process are simplified, and a manufacturing cost of the carrier is lowered.

A cosmetic product includes a cup and a cosmetic substance. The cup has a sidewall and a floor member defining a cup cavity The floor member includes a first elongated ridge extending across the floor member and protruding from an inner surface of the floor member into the cup cavity and a second elongated ridge extending across the floor member, protruding from the inner surface of the floor member into the cup cavity, and intersecting the first elongated protrusion. At least a portion of the cosmetic substance is disposed within the cup cavity. A pressure sensitive adhesive is located between and contacts the cup, between the first elongated ridge and the second elongated ridge, and the cosmetic substance.

A packaged cosmetic stick product comprising a cosmetic stick composition mounted on an axially immobile retaining member, the retaining member being reversibly connected to a holder enabling the cosmetic stick product to be held in the human hand, wherein the retaining member comprises arcuate bridge structures separated by holes, the bridge structures arcing into the cosmetic stick composition and being embedded therein.
