ABSTRACT:
Lipstick refills in a plurality of colors are packaged in a cylindrical body (3), which is clear plastic along its upper half. The body defines one or more helical grooves (7) in a lower half which receive tips (6a, 6b) of a sliding unit (4) in which a stick of lipstick is received. A pointed hollow element (12) covers the stick of lipstick during transportation and sale, but is removed for use. The sliding unit defines one or more longitudinal grooves (5a, 5b) which slidingly receive longitudinally extending ribs (2a, 2b) of a base (1) when detents (8a) of the base snap into annular groove (9) of the body. As the body and base are rotated relative to each other, the interaction of the longitudinal ribs (2a, 2b) and the longitudinal groove (5a, 5b) cause the sliding unit to rotate relative to the body and follow along the spiral grooves extending and retracting the stick of lipstick.
