BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention

The invention relates to a cosmetic apparatus, and more particularly to a cosmetic apparatus which may enhance combination stability with beauty accessories.

2. Description of Related Art

A conventional cosmetic apparatus has infusion and detoxification functions. The infusion function may assist the skin in absorbing skincare products. The detoxification function may assist the pores in discharging dirt. The conventional cosmetic apparatus has a body, a guiding head, and a fixed ring. The guiding head is mounted at and protrudes from a top surface of the body. The guiding head has a distal end and a guiding face. The guiding face is formed at the distal end of the guiding head. Furthermore, the body has an assembly surface. The assembly surface is formed on the top surface of the body. The assembly surface is connected with and mounted around the guiding head. The fixed ring is detachably mounted around the assembly surface of the body and surrounds the guiding head. The fixed ring has a through hole, and the guiding head extends through the through hole.

When the conventional cosmetic apparatus is used to fix a cotton pad, the fixed ring is detached from the body. The cotton pad is put on the guiding surface of the guiding head. Then the fixed ring is pressed and fixed with the assembly surface of the body. At the same time, the cotton pad is pressed and fixed. However, the fixed ring is pressed and fixed with the assembly surface of the body, and the assembly surface is connected with and mounted around the guiding head, which makes an area of the guiding face of the guiding head quite limited.

Another conventional cosmetic apparatus has a body, a guiding head, and a fixed ring. The guiding head is mounted at and protrudes from the body. The guiding head has a distal end and a guiding face. The guiding face is formed at the distal end of the guiding head. The fixed ring is detachably mounted around the guiding head. The fixed ring has a through hole, and the guiding head extends through the through hole.

When the conventional cosmetic apparatus is used to fix a cotton pad, the fixed ring is detached from the guiding head. The cotton pad is put on the guiding surface of the guiding head. Then the fixed ring is pressed and fixed at a surrounding surface of the guiding head. At the same time, the cotton pad is pressed and fixed. However, since the cotton pad has a thickness, the fixed ring will protrude from the guiding face when the fixed ring is pressed and fixed at the surrounding surface of the guiding head. Therefore, the cotton pad is unsmooth, which causes a user to feel uncomfortable in operation. Besides, the cotton pad has a thickness, which will affect a positioning effect of the fixed ring. Therefore, a positioning effect of the cotton pad is poor when the conventional cosmetic apparatus is in use. Furthermore, if the thickness of the cotton pad is too thick, the fixed ring may not be pressed and fixed around the guiding head. That is, the applicable thickness of the cotton pad is limited.

To overcome the shortcomings of the conventional cosmetic apparatus, the present invention provides a cosmetic apparatus to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.
