  • Patent number: 10905221
    Abstract: A lipstick kit is provided to allow for use of the last bit of lipstick in a lipstick container, which is normally discarded due to great difficulty in applying this last bit. The lipstick kit also allows the application of lipstick in environments that lack mirrors or sufficient ambient lighting. The lipstick kit is formed from an elongated container with attached lid and corresponding elongated applicator. A mirror is housed in a slot of a lateral wall of the elongated container, while a height-adjustable floor is added above a base of the elongated container. The height-adjustable floor can be raised or lowered by a tab, making stored lipstick easier to access. An interior divider separates the elongated container into a primary compartment for the lipstick container and a secondary compartment for extra applicators. Applicators can be removed from the lid and discarded or cleaned after each use.

  • Patent number: 10881182
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for confident daily make-up application comprising a makeup compact and a client device. The system may be applied to specific facial features or entire faces for a complete style. The client device is configured to provide an interactive user experience by displaying templated instructions for makeup application. Templated instructions provide a ‘paint-by-numbers’ approach to daily makeup application. The makeup compact further comprises a client device housing, wherein the client device can be docked for the duration of makeup application and coaching. The client device housing is separated from a protective cover by a semi-transparent display that can allow for tactile interaction with the client device. The semi-transparent display, therefore, in this orientation, serves as a back projection plane, wherein the template instruction from the client device is communicated to the user as it appears on the semi-transparent display.

  • Patent number: 10349725
    Abstract: A portable mirror includes a pancake-shaped housing which contains a concave reflective mirror plate in a front side of the housing and a circular array of suction cups attached to a rear wall of the housing by re-positionable joints that enable the suction cups to be slid radially outwards to facilitate temporarily attaching the mirror to a flat surface, and slid radially inwards into slots provided in the rear wall of the housing to retract the suction cups into positions which inhibit accidental adherence to or entanglement with items typically carried in a purse. The mirror includes an LED illuminator which is powered by an internal battery and extends outwardly from the housing and emits light upwardly and inwardly toward a longitudinal center line of the mirror plate, thus obliquely illuminating a face which may viewed in the mirror, while avoiding direct illumination of the eyes.
