Abstract: A container or holder for a lipstick tube in which the lipstick is mounted in front of a mirror of an appropriate rectangular shape such that the mirror reflects the image of the lipstick to a potential customer and thus enhances the point-of-sale presentation thereof, and after purchase the mirror can be held in a generally horizontal orientation and has adequate length for the user to see enough of a reflected image of her lips to assist in the application of the lipstick mass.

Abstract: The invention contemplates a modified propel-repel cosmetic-container construction wherein bottom-filling of the container is made possible via filler-tube access ports in the base end of the container and in the pomade-support platform of the pomade-carrier. Carrier propulsion is via slot and internal-thread cams on the respective inner and outer rotatable tubular members of the container, and the arrangement is such that for the lowermost position of the carrier, the upper end of the carrier laps and, therefore, seals off the upper end of the cam slot.

Abstract: The invention contemplates a lipstick or the like container of the push-up variety featuring enhanced protection of container contents and enchanced light frictional coaction between moving parts, for ease of motional action and retention of selected positioning of parts. An upstanding elongate guide member within the container is stabilized to the container at both ends and serves both the indicated features.

Abstract: A carton assembly is provided which may be formed of pasteboard, or other suitable material, and which is particularly useful for packaging and displaying articles such as containers for perfumes, lipsticks and the like. The carton assembly of the invention comprises an outer shell of rectangular cross-section having a top cover hinged to one edge of the upper end of the shell by a scoreline, and the shell has an open bottom; and the carton assembly also comprises an insert of rectangular cross-section which is slidable in the shell, and which is suspended from a top flap; the top flap being hinged to the outer edge of the top cover by a further scoreline. The insert has an open front so that the article may be displayed when the insert is moved to an open position in which its upper portion protrudes through the top end of the shell. The upper end of the insert is open, so that the article may be removed from the carton when the insert is in its open position.
