Abstract: A cosmetic composition includes a firming system that includes: a pectin; at least one powder; water; at least one fatty compound; and at least one plasticizer. The firming system when is spreadable and wherein upon drying the firming system forms a firming film that exhibits cohesion and adhesion when applied to a substrate. The pectin may comprise low methoxyl pectin, and the firming system may further include at least one monosaccharide, disaccharide or combination thereof. The composition may include a cosmetic carrier system wherein the firming system and cosmetic carrier system is in the form of liquidous or creamy type emulsion or an oil free serum for application to skin to ameliorate the signs of aging or a viscous liquidous emulsion or suspension for application as a makeup to keratinous tissue selected from skin, lashes and hair to confer firming to the keratinous tissue.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a lip makeup composition comprising at least one resin chosen from rosins, rosin derivatives and hydrocarbon-based resins, and mixtures thereof, wherein the at least one resin has a number-average molecular mass of less than or equal to 10,000 g/mol, and wherein the lip makeup composition is capable of forming a film with a resistance to oil of greater than or equal to 50%.

Abstract: Product containing a first composition and a second composition, the first composition containing at least one resin chosen from rosin and derivatives thereof, and hydrocarbon-based resins, and mixtures thereof, the resin having a number-average molecular mass of less than or equal to 10 000 g/mol, and the second composition, which is different from the first, containing at least one non-volatile fatty substance. The invention also relates to a makeup process and also to a makeup kit containing the product. This product is in particular a lipstick, a mascara, a foundation or a nail varnish.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cosmetic base which includes an anhydrous mixture of an effective amount of at least one first silicone elastomer; an effective amount of at least one second silicone elastomer; at least one non-aqueous solvent; and an effective amount of at least one water insoluble structuring agent which is compatible with said solvent and which has a melting point of between about 45 and about 95° C. The cosmetic base may be used in a cosmetic composition which also includes a pigment. Methods of making these cosmetic formulations are also described.

Abstract: A pluggable optical transceiver having a pivotable actuator assembly for quickly and easily removing the transceiver from a receptacle cage is provided. The actuator assembly includes a pivotable lever arm and a slide member that can slide in a forward and rearward direction. Force is first applied to the actuator lever so that it pivots and rotates to a different position. Then, as force is applied to the pivoted actuator lever, the slide member slides rearwardly causing the transceiver to become disengaged from the receptacle. In this manner, the transceiver is released and can be removed easily from the receptacle.
