Abstract: A bedding system to position above a mattress in a first arrangement. The bedding system has a bedspread with an upper portion, a bottom surface, and a top surface positioned opposite the bottom surface. In the first arrangement the top surface of the bedspread faces opposite the mattress. A first part of a continuous picture is formed on the bottom surface of the bedspread. In the first arrangement, the upper portion is folded to display the first part of the continuous picture. A pillow cover is configured to encase a pillow with a second part of the continuous picture formed on the pillow cover. In the first arrangement, the pillow cover is positioned adjacent to the bedspread to align the second part of the continuous picture with the first part of the continuous picture of the bedspread to assemble at least a portion of the continuous picture for display.

Abstract: A cosmetic system suitable for application to the skin as a multi-step cosmetic product. The system includes two compositions. The first composition is composed of from about 5 to about 90% of a low-volatility material with a vapor pressure of less than 10 mmHg at 1 atm and 25° C. and from about 0.05 to about 10% of an emulsifier which is soluble or dispersible in the low-volatility material. The second composition is composed of a continuous phase fluid, solid, gel, or semi-solid having an interfacial tension with the low-volatility material from the first composition which is at least 0 dyne/cm. The second composition is topically applied to the skin after the first composition. The invention further relates to methods of using the cosmetic system in order to effectively deliver a satisfactory foundation product to a user's skin.
