A system for sample, trial, and/or full-sized products includes a container defining at least one cavity, a product disk, a cosmetic product, an applicator, and an applicator engaging mechanism operably coupled with the applicator. The product disk includes a first side, a second side, a body extending therebetween, and a disk engaging mechanism. At least a portion of the first side of the product disk is selectively positionable adjacent to the at least one cavity of the container. The cosmetic product is at least partially disposed on the first side of the product disk. The applicator has first end that includes an applicator retention region. At least a portion of the second side of the product disk is positionable adjacent to the applicator retention region. The product disk is removably coupled with the cavity of the container and the applicator coupling mechanism.

A refillable dispenser including a casing and a platform for receiving consumable material. A knob rotatably mounted at a bottom end of the dispenser is mechanically coupled to the platform such that rotating the knob moves the platform up or down within the dispenser. Gripping arms connected to the platform are configured to flex toward a longitudinal axis and engage the consumable material when the platform is away from a top travel position such that the consumable material is secured to the platform. The gripping arms are configured to flex away from the longitudinal axis and release the consumable material from the platform when the platform is at the top travel position.

A packaged deodorant stick product comprising a deodorant stick composition, a retaining member and a holder, the deodorant stick composition being mounted on the retaining member and the retaining member comprises one of a bayonet element and a socket and the holder comprises the other of the bayonet element and the socket, wherein the bayonet element is lockably receivable within the socket such that the retaining member is removably connectable to the holder.

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.

Disclosed herein is a refill intended to be removably mounted on an actuation base and configured to receive a cosmetic product. The refill includes grooves and/or ribs configured to cooperate respectively with all or part of ribs and/or grooves of the actuation base so as to allow the refill to be mounted on the actuation base to allow an entry and/or an exit of the cosmetic product. To that end, the grooves and/or ribs of the refill extend longitudinally over a part of the height of an internal skirt toward a first end of the refill.

A container for a stick product utilizes a novel inner body that has no gaps along its top perimeter. As a result, significant advantages in assembly and operation are realized. Containers according to the present invention may be useful for all types of stick products that are applied by drawing the product across a surface.

A device (10) for packaging and applying a pasty product, notably a cosmetic product, comprising: a case (14); an external protective shell (30) mounted on the case (14) and provided on the interior surface thereof with at least one helical groove (36); a tubular element (40) mounted to rotate freely in said external protective shell (30), while being held axially relative to said shell and provided with at least one longitudinal groove (42); and a cup (20) supporting a stick (12) of product mounted to slide in said tubular element (40). The cup (20) comprises a lower cup (22) carrying the stud (23) and an upper cup (24) carrying the stick (12) of product and comprising an axial projection (24c) extending axially toward the base of the case (14) through an orifice (22d) provided on the lower cup (22), said lower and upper cups (22, 24) being integral via a “push-push” latch locking/unlocking system (50).
