Abstract: A cosmetic applicator system for mascara which is compatible with a wide variety of traditional mascara applicators and provides automated movement of the applicator to facilitate applying the mascara. Embodiments of the present invention may include an applicator system configured to receive and retain a wide variety of mascara applicators (e.g., brushes) and/or mascara container caps. The present invention may also include a motor which may provide all or a combination of rotation, oscillation, or vibration movement of the mascara applicator, and buttons or other means for actuating the motor, controlling the rotational direction of the motor, and the speed of the rotation, oscillation, or vibration. Alternatively, or in addition, cam surfaces are used to translate the rotation into oscillation.

Abstract: A dispensing cap system for dispensing a supplement material through a bottle neck opening and into the bottle. An exemplary embodiment includes a cap member with downwardly depending fingers and inwardly directed barbs configured for connection to beverage bottle necks of different sizes. The cap member has a unitary inner plug portion and outer seal member arranged to provide a liquid seal of a bottle mouth of a variety of sizes. A valve member passes through a storage member attached to the cap, and is configured for movement between a storage position and a dispensing position, in which passage is permitted of the supplement material from the storage member into the bottle. The cap member also has a unitary o-ring portion for sealing against the valve member on one side and the storage container on the other to prevent fluid and/or supplement leakage. A nipple member may be positioned over the valve member to allow the bottle contents to be utilized or consumed.
