Abstract: A cosmetics container, preferably made of either glass or of a plastic appearing similar to glass, includes a receiving segment with a planar bottom and which is sealable by an air-hermetic main cover. The container is designed in such a way that sealing is ensured and an intermediate container cover can be easily removed. For that purpose, at least one inwardly projecting step running parallel to the bottom is present at the receiving segment's inside surface and supports the intermediate cover, the outside surface of the intermediate cover being spaced from the vertical inside surface of the receiving segment so that when the intermediate cover rests on the step, a gap remains between the outside surface of the intermediate cover and the receiving segment inside surface. A hollow stub is joined to the lower side of the intermediate cover and has outside dimensions approximately matching the inside dimensions of the receiving segment including the gap.
