Abstract: A cosmetics case holds one or more cosmetic pencils in a flat hollow container body having a plurality of openings on one side to receive the cosmetic pencils, lipsticks, or the like. A holding body is slidable in the container body and releasably holds the cosmetic pencils or the like. The holding body slides between a retracted position and a projected position which projects a portion of the cosmetic pencils or the like from the opening. One or more springs urge the holding body to the projected position and a retainer releasably retains the holding body in the retracted position to control the desired position of the cosmetic pencils.
