The present invention provides for an environmentally friendly system and associated methods for a user to utilize a disposable stem and a removable, reusable handle member. Specifically, the present invention provides for a method of manufacturing and a system of using a stem having a proximal end and a distal end, with an absorbent material fixed to the distal end, while the proximal end is configured to be interconnected with the removable handle member for a user to utilize the disposable swab system for many purposes, such as cleaning a user's ears and for other general use.

A disposable unit dose package for frozen cosmetic or personal care products that can provide a chilling effect during application. The main components of the package are a reservoir and an applicator. The reservoir may be interiorly divided to hold more than one product. The applicator comprises a handle and one or more applicator heads depending from the handle. In use, a product in the reservoir is frozen, which causes the product to bond to the applicator head. The handle is used to lift the frozen product out of the reservoir, and draw the frozen product over the skin. As it melts from the heat of the skin, the product can be spread on the skin.

Flexible tilting skin contacting devices are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes an applicator that is to contact skin surface, and a base connectable or detachable from the applicator. The applicator comprises first, second, and third portions. The second portion is disposed between and connected to the first and third portions along the rotation axis of the applicator. The first portion comprises an outwardly curved disc with at least one tip protruding from a major surface of the first portion, the second portion comprises an elastomeric material configured to flex proportionately in response to respective contact pressure on the at least one tip with the skin surface during rotation of the first portion, and the first portion is to tilt in a plane different from a rotation plane associated with the rotation axis in accordance with the flexing of the second portion.

A finger sleeve for the application of a topical agent is provided. The finger sleeve is made from material that enables heat to transfer from the user's finger to the applied topical agent, while not absorbing any of the topical agent. The finger sleeve moves between a rolled condition and an unrolled condition over a user's finger for enabling them to apply the topical agent directly.

A beauty tool may include a cover made from a fishnet material. A beauty tool may include a cover made from a material configured for cleansing, exfoliation, and/or massaging a keratinous material without damaging the keratinous material and a body defining a hollow interior received within the cover.
