Abstract: An adjustable cosmetic wand for use with a cosmetic container comprises a container top having a hollow shaft attached therein and centrally thereof. A rod is positioned for reciprocation within the hollow shaft and has a flexible spring filament attached thereto. The opposite end of the flexible filament has means for permitting attachment of various cosmetic applicators. The flexible filament is extendable out of and retractable into the hollow shaft and container top by means of a push button which is attached to the reciprocable rod. The flexible filament is a pre-bent device which will assume various angles with respect to the perpendicular as the device emerges from the shaft and container top. An extension shaft may be attached to the outer end of the hollow shaft by a pivot and the reciprocable rod may be toothed or geared on one end and adapted to mesh with a toothed element or a gear on the extension shaft.
