A capsule integrated with a nail polish applying element for usage by a nail polish application apparatus comprising a capsule compartment and a pressure applying element, the capsule comprising a container defining a reservoir containing nail polish fluid, the container comprising an upper face with an opening sealed with a sliding gasket and a bottom face, wherein a volume of the reservoir is reduced and an internal pressure is built in the reservoir when pressure application slides the sliding gasket towards the bottom face, and a container housing comprising a body portion shaped to receive and accommodate the container, one or more conveying tunnels having a proximal end mechanically fixated to a bottom side of the body portion and a nail polish applying element mounted to receive the nail polish fluid from a distal end of the conveying tunnel(s) for applying the nail polish fluid on a nail surface.

A hand-held applicator includes a first applicator layer adjacent a first reservoir and a finger-receiving space for securely holding the applicator. When the first applicator layer is external facing, the fill material is dispensed outside the applicator and when the first applicator layer faces into the finger receiving space the fill material is dispensed into the finger-receiving space and applied to the finger or fingers in the finger-receiving space. The applicator may further include a second applicator layer adjacent a second reservoir and opposite the first applicator layer and first reservoir to securely store and dispense a second amount of the fill material. Reservoir access layers separate the first applicator layer and first reservoir, and the second applicator layer and second reservoir and transform between a first, closed position where the fill material is securely stored in a reservoir and a second, open position where fill material is dispensed from a reservoir through an applicator layer.

Disclosed is a container for mixing different types of cosmetics including a first container part in which a first cosmetic content is stored; a second container part detachably coupled to the first container part and in which a second cosmetic content is stored; and a mixing part coupled to the second container part to be elevated and ejects the second cosmetic content into the first container part to mix the first cosmetic content and the second cosmetic content, wherein the first container part and the second container part are independently separated from each other, and when the first container part and the second container part are coupled to each other to press the mixing part, the second cosmetic content stored in the second container part is introduced into the first container part so that the first cosmetic content and the second cosmetic content are mixed with each other.

A portable preparation assembly to prepare liquid cosmetic/cleanser products in a personalised way has a container which is configured to contain a solvent liquid and includes a base wall, a lateral wall and an upper opening opposite to the base wall; a housing seat configured to house a solid cosmetic/cleanser and arranged at least partially inside the container; and a stirring device which is configured to stir the solvent liquid in the container so as to determine at least partial dissolution of the solid cosmetic/cleanser in the solvent liquid and mix the dissolved solid cosmetic/cleanser with the solvent liquid to obtain the liquid cosmetic/cleanser product.

A dispensing system (2000), includes a container (900) containing a flowable base formulation (910) to be dispensed, an additive mixing device (2004), and an actuable pump engine (2002) which draws the flowable base formulation from the container and pumps it through the mixing device. The additive mixing device includes a body (2022) with an internal cavity (2052), an additive ingredient (2054) within the cavity, and a flow path/mixing chamber (2058) between an input and an output. With each pump of the device (2004) the additive ingredient is introduced into, and mixed with, a flow of the base formulation traveling through the mixing device. Multiple additive mixing devices (2004) may be interchangeable for different formulations, and the mixing devices may be refillable.

A feeding container includes a container body capable of accommodating contents, and a nozzle provided in an upper portion of the container body, and the contents accommodated in the container body is discharged from the nozzle. The nozzle extends in a horizontal direction, and pushes out the contents in the horizontal direction via a discharge hole opening in the horizontal direction, and a projection which projects in a direction intersecting an extending direction of the nozzle is provided on an extending side surface of the nozzle.

An apparatus is described for dispensing cosmetic material from a cartridge onto a dispensing surface. The apparatus includes a retractable plate disposed beneath the detachable portion, where a dispensing end of the at least one cartridge is configured to penetrate the retractable plate and the detachable portion. When the retractable plate is at a stable highest position, the dispensing end of the at least one cartridge is flush with the surface of the retractable plate. When the retractable plate is moved to a predetermined stable downward position below the highest position, and the detachable portion is placed on the retractable surface, the dispensing end of the at least one cartridge is flush with the dispensing surface and the retractable plate is configured to move even further downward to an unstable position in response to a downward force on the detachable portion.

A hair color retouch kit, components of the kit, and methods of use and doing business. The kit can include one or more mixing containers. In one embodiment, a mixing container provides a colorant compartment for sealingly or separately containing a custom hair coloring formulation and peroxide compartment for sealingly or separately containing peroxide. The mixing container(s) can be used by a professional hair colorist to provide a hair coloring client with custom hair coloring formulation and peroxide that can be mixed and applied by or for the client to hair regrowth that occurs after a hair coloring session with the professional. The kit can provide other components as desired, such as a mixing spatula, an applicator brush, and instructions for example. The kit can be packaged in attractive and efficient packaging, include indicia identifying the source of the kit, and be customized to promote the colorist, salon, or other entity.

The invention relates to a mixing device for mixing one or more cosmetic preparations in a dispenser with a dispensing opening (8). The mixing device comprises at least two mixing plates (1) which comprise one or more passages (2), the diameter thereof tapering in direction of the dispensing opening.

A system is provided for dispensing a hair dye formulation into a customer container. The system includes a conveyer belt configured to transport the customer container along a fill line; a plurality of dispensing mechanisms, each connected to a respective container having a different bulk hair dye color, the plurality of dispensing mechanisms being disposed over a conveyer belt along the fill line. The system is configured to receive a formula for filling the customer container with one or more bulk hair dye colors from among the plurality of containers having the different bulk hair dye color, and control each of the plurality of dispensing mechanisms to perform a dispensing operation to dispense an amount of bulk hair dye color or to not perform a dispensing operation at a time when the customer container is transported to each of the plurality of dispensing mechanisms along the fill line.
