The pair of lid retainers can be formed as protrusions or depressions and can be configured to engage the sidewall inside surface 29 at the sidewall upper 24. At least a portion of the sidewall upper 24 is defined on the sidewall inside surface 29 and can be configured to engage the pair of lid retainers. The pair of lid retainers are preferably circular depressions.

The lid side 32 provides an area for a stand notch indent 35. The stand notch indent 35 can be a rounded depression and cutting into the rectangular stand notch 38 to allow finger access to the stand on a stand side which is opposite to a mirror side is one side of the lid 30. The stand side 39 has a stand hinge 37 with a mirror stand 36. The stand hinge 37 is formed between the pair of sidewall indents 27 and between the pair of grip depressions. The mirror stand 36 is accessed at the stand notch indent 35 of the stand notch 38. The tray bottom 47 is on the opposite side of the mirror side. The stand notch 38 forms a channel on the stand side 39.

The tray 20 and lid 30 are preferably plastic injection molded. The shoulder engagement edge 40 of the lid 31 engages the shoulder 26. The shoulder engagement edge 40 forms a rim that extends beyond the mirror edge 88 such that the mirror edge 88 is recessed within the shoulder engagement edge 40. The lid 30 is preferably hollow and formed with posts for retaining the mirror. The posts receive resin adhesive for bonding the mirror to the lid body.

A user can translate and slide the modules and arrange them for ergonomic or workflow efficiency. A user can place the modules where the user is accustomed to having the module. The modules can contain a variety of different cosmetics in different colors and shades. The modules can also be a blending block such as a foam layer mounted on a metal backing, or the modules can also be a small mirror. The modules may have a composite construction with a mirror, blending block and cosmetic material mounted on a ferrous base plate that retains to the magnetic layer.
