An attachment mechanism is provided at the distal end to engage/disengage a given attachment. The attachment mechanism has an outer surface provided with splines or the like for grippingly engaging an inner surface of the distal end of the lipstick compartment to achieve a friction-fit connection that resists undesirable rotational movement within the container.
