  • Patent number: 5983905
    Abstract: A lipstick container cap with a flip up mirror that can serve as a retrofit for existing lipstick containers and dispensers or form an integral part thereof. At least one reflective surface is provided to aid in the application of lipstick. The cap fits over the lipstick holder and is releasibly attached thereto with a snug fit so that during transport and storage the cap covers and protects the lipstick without risk of disengagement. The end of the cap is fitted with a flip up lid that carries a reflective surface on its inside face. Optionally, the face of the cap beneath the flip up lid is provided with a second reflective surface. The reflective surfaces are typically formed of a convex configuration for visual exaggeration of the facial area to receive the application of lipstick. The flip up lid can be detached from the cap when desired, thereby enabling its use as a separate small makeup mirror that can be held by the user.
