The containing base 3 can be screwed onto the extension portion 12 of the main containing body 1 with the help of the screw threads 13 and 33 such that the holding cavity 31 is held in the main containing body 1. A cosmetic 32 is held in the holding cavity 31 of the containing base 3, which cosmetic 32 can be a lip color that is different color or same color from the lip color stick 11, and can be a cosmetic of different nature from the lip color stick 11, e.g. cheek color, and eye color.
