In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a holder including a first surface, a second surface, a body portion in between the first surface and the second surface, and a protrusion. The first surface is configured to be coupled to a mounting surface. A magnet is disposed within the body such that a portion of the second surface is magnetically attractable to a first portion of an article. The protrusion is configured to engage a second portion of the article. The article being removably coupled to the holder when the first portion of the article is magnetically coupled against the portion of the second surface and the second portion of the article is engaged with the protrusion.

There is described a method for colouring hair, said method comprising treating hair with a composition comprising dihydroxyacetone (DHA), in free form or in salt form; optionally drying the hair; and heating the treated hair, including the applied DHA composition, to a temperature of from about 100° C. to about 250° C.

A makeup or cosmetic utensil identifier device is disclosed. The identifier devices include an identification object and a band coupled to the identification object. The identification object is designed to provide visual feedback and tactile feedback to a user to better identify a makeup or cosmetic utensil. The band facilitates releasable coupling to the makeup or cosmetic utensil, in use. The device can be used individually or as part of a larger set to delineate between multiple utensils retained in the same general space, such as a drawer or bag.

This invention relates to a cosmetic product applicator, including: an application member (30) comprising an application element (42); and a gripping member (32) hinged to the application member, with the gripping member being mobile with respect to the application member around an axis of rotation (38), between a first and a second stable configurations. The application member and the gripping member respectively comprise first and second (75) guiding elements, configured to slide against one another during a rotation of the gripping member with respect to the application member, with each one of the first and second stable configurations corresponding to a minimum of elastic stress between said first and second guiding elements, said elastic stress being considered in the radial direction with respect to the axis of rotation (38).

A method of preparing a light-curable artificial nail includes extracting from an adhesive film in a semi-cured state a portion of the adhesive film in a shape of a human nail. The portion of the adhesive film includes a light-curable composition in the semi-cured state. A portion of the polish film in the shape of the human nail is extracted from a polish film. The portion of the adhesive film and the portion of the polish film are combined to form layers of the light-curable artificial nail.

An applicator for a container includes a support structure, which includes a first end having a convex surface, one or more lateral surfaces extending away from the first end, a second end opposite to the first end and having an opening into an internal cavity, and one or more longitudinal passages providing fluid communication between the first end and the internal cavity. The support structure is adapted to detachably attach to a container at the second end and is further adapted to detachably attach an applicator pad to the convex surface.

A nail tip curing composition includes an Extend Gel, an edge-off flat brush, a nail filing device, a plurality of GEL-X tips, a pH Bonder, and a Non-Acidic Gel Primer. The pH Bonder forms a pH Bonder layer on a surface of a fingernail. The Non-Acidic Gel Primer forms a Non-Acidic Gel Prime layer overlapped on the pH Bonder layer. The Extend Gel forms an Extend Gel layer overlapped on the Non-Acidic Gel Prime layer. The GEL-X tip is filed by the nail filing device and the Extend Gel is applied on an underside contact surface of the Gel-X tip by the edge-off flat brush. The underside contact surface of the Gel-X tip is contacted with the Extend Gel layer on the fingernail in such a manner that the Gel-X tip is firmly affixed on the fingernail.

A color tray includes a first paint compartment configured to hold a first paint color; a second paint compartment configured to hold a second paint color, wherein the first and second paint compartments converge at a convergence point; and a bristle divider that partitions the first paint compartment from the second paint compartment, the bristle divider being ramped downward toward the convergence point such that a height of the bristle divider decreases toward the convergence point.
