ABSTRACT:
A tester module to provide a sanitary apparatus to test make-up without causing discardable waste comprises a housing having a supply reel with cosmetic samples located on a wound-up tape at predetermined intervals along the tape. The housing also includes a curved member guide adjacent an aperture in the upper wall portion of the housing and a take-up reel in the lower portion of the housing. The take-up reel is periodically advanced by a crank in one embodiment to expose a cosmetic sample through the housing aperture. A user places her finger through the aperture to transfer the cosmetic from the strip to her finger and then moves the tape from the supply reel to the next position feeding the used material to the take-up reel within the housing. In a second embodiment, a window over the housing aperture is coupled to a gear arrangement to automatically index the used tape when a spring backed window is closed. The window is opened by the consumer to provide access to the new sample which moves into position. The entire module is replaced and/or reloaded when the supply reel is empty.
