Abstract: A cosmetic which includes from about one to about ten parts ethyl cellulose, from about one to about ten parts of a cosmetic pigment, from about 70 to about 95 parts of an organic solvent, and from about one to about ten parts of an alcohol soluble and water insoluble resin. The resin is a polymer which includes one or more of the following monomers: octylacrylamide, acrylate, butylaminoethyl methacrylate, and methyl methacrylate, hydroxypropyl methacrylate, polyvinyl acetate.

Abstract: Cosmetic compositions for coloring, conditioning, enhancing skin and its appendages are based on a film forming agent to which coloring, enhancing, and moisturizing agents may be added. Compositions also include waxless lip balm with and without color, and enhancing agents with and without color. Because the compositions are not readily removable by normal wear and tear, a remover is provided. Methods of applying the cosmetics, and kits containing the cosmetics, including a remover, are provided.

Compositions also include waxless lip balm with and without color, and enhancing agents with and without color. Because some of the compositions are not readily removable by normal wear and tear, which is an advantage over previous compositions, a remover is provided.

Abstract: A clear top coat composition for application over a wet nail polish, comprising cellulose acetate propionate ester, a mixture of solvents free of toluene, and a plasticizer, providing a dry non-tacky, non-brittle solid coat which is quick drying when applied over a nail polish while wet.

Abstract: An improved lip cosmetic employing a coloring agent and a plasticizer in a volatile solvent includes a film-forming agent which preferably has as components an AMPHOMER and ethyl cellulose, as well as a cosmetic pigment. The lip cosmetic of the invention includes between about one and about ten parts of an alcohol soluble and water insoluble resin, between about one and about ten parts ethyl cellulose, between one and about ten parts of a dispersion of cosmetic pigments in castor oil, and between about seventy and about ninety-five parts of an organic solvent. The resultant lip cosmetic is water insoluble and has a staying power far greater than that of conventional lipstick. The novel lip cosmetic will not smear and come off on beverage receptacles, fabrics, or the human skin once it drys. The finish is so sheer that the lip cosmetic can be applied in at least three successive layers without caking up or cracking.
