FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to a lipstick, and more particularly to a lipstick case which is made of paper and can be therefore easily disposed of without causing environmental pollution.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
As shown in

, the conventional lipstick case is formed of a tubular base
10
and a tubular cap
14
, which are dimensioned to accommodate a lipstick

11
and a lipstick seat

. The tubular base
10
and the tubular cap
14
of the conventional lipstick case are made of a plastic material, which can not be decomposed by nature and is therefore an environmental pollutant. In addition, the incineration of the conventional lipstick case produces harmful gases, which are discharged into the atmosphere.
