Abstract: Disclosed herein are cosmetic dispensers including a base, for example, having a cavity and an interior surface where, in embodiments, the interior surface includes a spiral recess. The cosmetic dispenser may further include a pedestal assembly received within the cavity of the base. The pedestal assembly can include a pedestal having a base plate at a first distal end of the pedestal and a cup member at a second distal end opposite the first distal end. The cup member may be configured to receive a cosmetic that extends above the cup member. The sleeve may be movably received within the cavity, and can include at least one engaging means coupled to the spiral recess. The engaging means may be configured to slide along the spiral recess to raise and lower the sleeve. In embodiments, the sleeve is configured to completely surround the cosmetic in a raised first position, and is configured to at least partially not surround the cosmetic in a lowered second position.

Abstract: Fluid applicators and systems having a moving mechanism, for example a slider mechanism, and a flexible shaft having a stationary member, a movable member and a brush member, the brush member attached between the stationary member and the movable member via at least two pivots, the movable member further attached to the moving mechanism.

Abstract: A fluid container having a base with a reservoir; an applicator having a handle; and a pivot frame with a cavity arranged to mate with the handle.
