Abstract: Applicators for grasping and applying small items, such as fibers and eyelashes, are disclosed. The applicators passively hold the items and a user actuates the applicator to release the items. An applicator includes a compression spring that forces a disc against a disc retention element to hold the items passively, and a button is pressed to separate the disc from the disc retention element to release the items. An applicator includes an expansion spring that holds items between coils of the spring passively, and a button is pressed to separate the spring coils to release the items.

Abstract: A makeup palette includes at least one removable makeup pan disposed within a recess formed in a makeup palette case. The makeup palette case has an ejection feature configured to separate the makeup pan from the makeup palette case. A makeup composition is disposed within the makeup pan. The makeup pan includes a first material, and the makeup palette case includes a second material.

Abstract: A composition dispenser with dynamically adjustable protrusions/bristles for delivery of a cosmetic composition to a substrate, particularly hair coloring agents. The composition dispenser comprises a protrusion unit including one or more protrusion elements and at least one dispensing orifices appointed for fluidic communication with a formulation reservoir. The protrusion unit is operably coupled to a length-adjustment element configured to adjust an exposed protrusion length of the protrusion elements along a direction perpendicular to a rotation plane of the length-adjust element.

Abstract: A static mixer suitable for mixing liquids, pastes, creams, gels or other fluids. Fluids introduced into a static mixing cavity of the static mixer are mechanically mixed by the static mixing cavity, and then dispensed from an outlet as a mixed fluid. The static mixer may be formed by two housing halves that are hingedly connected so that the static mixer can be easily opened for cleaning the static mixing cavity.

Abstract: An adjustable applicator head with protrusion elements and a dispensing orifice in fluidic communication with a formulation reservoir operably coupled to a sliding length-adjustment element configured to adjust an exposed protrusion length of the protrusion elements along a direction parallel to a central axis of the length-adjustment element. The applicator can be refilled and re-used and is adjustable for different lengths of hair and hair styles. The tines or bristles can be replaced with foam applicators, sponges, or other surfaces for various applications, such as skincare, makeup or makeup removal.

Abstract: A pulverizing device that include a pulverizing or grinding component for generating powder from the solid product. The pulverizing or grinding component also constrains and/or supports the solid product. The pulverizing or grinding component moves somewhat linearly with respect to the solid product in order to pulverize the solid product. The pulverizing or grinding component includes a spiral spring or a helical spring.

Abstract: A package includes an applicator with a contacting surface including a first porous material and a reservoir with a contacting surface including a second porous material. The package is filled with a liquid that is absorbed onto the reservoir. The contacting surfaces of the applicator and reservoir are three-dimensional to improve the transfer of fluid from the reservoir to the applicator.

Abstract: A pad cleaner is in the shape of a “stone” or an ellipsoid. The pad cleaner has a first surface bowed in the center which curves down from the center radially outward to the edges of the first surface. The pad cleaner has a second surface bowed in the center, which curves up from the center radially outward to the edges of the second surface. The first surface is joined to the second surface at the edges of both surfaces forming a hollow center. There are ridges or spikes extending normal to the second surface that are arranged in a pattern to produce a cleaning effect. The first surface has a cutout extending through a material thickness of the first surface to expose the hollow center. The hollow center can be used to store pads.

Abstract: A cosmetic applicator tip includes a base; a primary surface extending from the base, the primary surface including a height, a thickness, and a width; at least one auxiliary wall extending from the base, each auxiliary wall of the at least one auxiliary wall including a height.
