ABSTRACT:
A new lipstick case for containing a plurality of tubes of lipstick to organize and protect the lipstick while being carried in a handbag or the like is disclosed. The lipstick case comprises a holder formed of resilient transparent plastic (either hard or soft plastic) having a plurality of vertically aligned open-top elongated chambers therein. The chambers each have dimensions to snugly receive an outer protective tube of a conventional cosmetic lipstick. The lipstick is inverted within the chamber such that the base of the lipstick may be readily viewed and easily grasped by a user to withdraw the coloring medium from the protective outer tube while retaining the tube within the chamber. A top closure flap is integrally transversely formed on the holder whereby lipstick tubes contained therein are prevented from inadvertently falling out of the chambers. A fastener for holding the top closure flap closed is also included. In an alternate embodiment, the lipstick case additionally includes a rectangular mirror mounted lengthwise on an inside surface of the top closure flap whereby application of the lipstick on the lips of the user is facilitated by the image reflected thereon.
