BACKGROUND

Field

The present disclosure relates generally to cosmetic containers and, more specifically, to enclosures, housings, and storage solutions designed for the organization, transport, and preservation of cosmetic products. The field encompasses various forms of packaging and dispensing systems tailored for cosmetics, including structures that accommodate solid, liquid, cream, or powder formulations. Additionally, the present disclosure pertains to containers that incorporate application systems or solutions that aim to enhance the functionality, durability, and aesthetic appeal of cosmetic storage and their respective application solutions.

Description of the Related Art

Cosmetic holders designed for portability have become an essential part of daily life for individuals who carry and apply makeup on the go. These compact storage solutions, often found in purses, bags, and pockets, are intended to provide both convenience and accessibility, ensuring that cosmetics can be easily transported and applied throughout the day. However, despite their widespread use, portable cosmetic holders continue to suffer from significant design and functionality shortcomings, creating persistent challenges for consumers.
One major issue is the lack of durability in portable cosmetic holders. Because these holders are frequently transported, they are subjected to constant movement, pressure, and impact within bags or pockets. Many conventional designs utilize lightweight, inexpensive materials that easily crack, warp, or break when exposed to the rigors of daily use. Fragile hinges, weak clasps, and flimsy outer casings contribute to short lifespans, leaving users with containers that fail to protect the cosmetics inside. Additionally, spillage and leakage from poorly secured lids and weak seals or construction can result in messy bags or pockets and ruined cosmetic products, further compounding user frustration.
Another challenge with portable cosmetic holders is that they are typically designed for single-use or short-term application. Many holders are created as one-time-use dispensers or built-in product applicators that cannot be refilled, requiring users to repeatedly purchase new containers when a product runs out. This disposable nature leads to excessive waste and unnecessary costs, as consumers must frequently replace not only the cosmetics themselves but also the packaging that holds them. The lack of reusable or refillable options forces users to cycle through an endless stream of plastic and composite waste, which is both environmentally and economically inefficient.
The current market also lacks customizable portable cosmetic holders that allow users to carry multiple products in a single, compact container. Many individuals prefer to tailor their makeup selection daily, yet existing holders often do not support easy interchangeability of products. This limitation forces users to carry multiple separate containers, leading to increased bulk and inconvenience. The absence of a modular system that enables users to customize their cosmetic selection contributes to inefficiency and dissatisfaction among consumers seeking both versatility and portability in their beauty routines.
Furthermore, aesthetic and organizational concerns persist in portable cosmetic holders. Unlike stationary cosmetic organizers, which can accommodate a variety of shapes and sizes, portable holders must balance compactness with usability. However, many existing designs are bulky, oddly shaped, or lack cohesion, making them difficult to fit neatly in purses or small bags. The irregular sizing of different portable cosmetic holders leads to clutter and inefficiency, forcing users to carry multiple items that do not stack or store well together. Moreover, despite the emphasis on cosmetic elegance, many portable holders fail to align with the luxury aesthetic that consumers expect from beauty products.
A further limitation in the industry is the inefficient integration of application systems within portable holders. Most transportable cosmetics holders double as applicators, such as mascara and brushes, lipstick cases with attached wands, or powder containers with sponge compartments. However, these integrated systems are often poorly designed, with fragile or ineffective applicators that do not provide the same precision or ease of use as standalone tools. Additionally, the separation of product and applicator in some designs leads to messy application processes, with loose powders, creams, or liquid cosmetics creating spillage and contamination issues inside bags.
Despite ongoing advancements in portable cosmetic holders, these fundamental issues remain unresolved, affecting both durability and usability. While some manufacturers have attempted to improve individual aspects—such as incorporating mirrors or more secure clasps—the core challenges of fragility, disposability, aesthetic inconsistency, and inefficient application integration persist. As such, there exists a pressing need for an improved portable cosmetic holder that addresses these long-standing deficiencies by offering enhanced durability, customizability, reusable features, streamlined portability, and a more effective application system suitable for modern, on-the-go consumers.

SUMMARY

The present disclosure provides for a new cosmetic holder with integrated application system (hereinafter referred to as a cosmetic holder) that improves upon fundamental issues cosmetic holders face today. Namely, the present disclosure provides for a cosmetic holder that provides for enhanced durability, reusable features, more effective application system(s), aesthetic design features and overall customizability.
As such, the present disclosure provides for a cosmetic holder comprising a casing where the casing comprises at least two passages. The at least two passages traverse the vertical length of the casing from a first distal end of the casing to a second distal end of the casing (these passages may be described as “voids”). The at least two passages may thus be configured and dimensioned to removably retain at least one housing (where a housing may be described as a “tube”), where the casing also comprises a cap that can be configured and dimensioned to removably affix to the first distal end of the casing. Continuing, the casing can comprise indicia laid upon the surface of the casing to provide a variety of designs, graphics, and images that can appeal to a broad base of consumers. In addition to or without the indicia, the casing can have a high friction coefficient material applied to the casing to give it a more premium feel and prevent the casing from slipping when placed on surfaces. Notably, the casing can comprise at least one receptacle at the second distal end of the casing, wherein the at least one receptacle leads into at least one of the passages (or, alternatively, each receptacle corresponds to and leads into a passage). The at least one receptacle or a receptacle may be configured and dimensioned to receive a housing.
Continuing, at least one housing can comprise at least one engaging member that can be configured and dimensioned to be received by at least one receiving member of at least one of the passages. The at least one engaging member may be a thread, wherein the at least one receiving member is a corresponding thread. Alternatively, or at the same time, at least one engaging member may be a bulge and the at least one receiving member may be a recess that receives the bulge. Related to the aforementioned cap, the cap may be configured and dimensioned to cover the at least two passages when the cap is affixed to the first distal end of the casing. The at least one housing may contain a reservoir, which can be configured and dimensioned to contain a cosmetic product. As such, the cap can be configured and dimensioned to seal a reservoir of the housing when the at least one housing is retained within the at least one passage. Also, the cap can further comprise an applicator within the inner cavity of the cap, where the applicator can be dimensioned to rest within the reservoir of the at least one housing when the housing is retained within the at least one passage and when the cap is affixed to the first distal end of the casing.
The present disclosure also provides for a cosmetic holder that comprises a casing that has a first distal end and a second distal end, at least two receptacles, each leading to at least one passage where the casing can comprise at least two passages. These at least two passages can traverse from the casing's second distal end to the casing's first distal end. Also, the cosmetic holder can comprise a cap configured and dimensioned to removably affix to the casing's first distal end, and, when affixed to the casing's first distal end, the cap prevents at least one of the passages from traversing from the casing's second distal end to the casing's first distal end. The casing can further comprise indicia laid upon at least one surface of the casing and/or a high friction coefficient material applied to the casing.
Each of the at least two receptacles and each of the at least two passages may be configured and dimensioned to receive at least one housing, where the housing comprises a reservoir that can be configured and dimensioned to contain a cosmetic product. Further, the cosmetic holder can comprise an application system that can removably affix to the cap, the application system able to further comprise an applicator. As such, the application system can be configured and dimensioned to allow the applicator to rest within at least one reservoir containing a cosmetic product and also be configured and dimensioned to allow the applicator to be removed from the reservoir containing a cosmetic product when the application system is removed from the cap. Continuing, the applicator may be configured and dimension to host a cosmetic product when the applicator is removed from at least one reservoir. Additionally, the housing may comprise a riser configured and dimensioned to raise or lower a cosmetic product within a reservoir. In some instances, the riser can allow the cosmetic product to exist within the reservoir, but be raised above the reservoir and housing at the same time.
These and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become clearer when the drawings as well as the detailed description are taken into consideration.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Turning now descriptively to the figures, FIG. 1 depicts an upper perspective view of a cosmetic holder with integrated application system. Within FIG. 1 , the casing 100 can be seen, which can be described as the main body of a cosmetic holder with integrated application system. Notably, the casing 100 may be formed from a variety of materials such as plastic or metal, selected based on durability, weight, cost, and aesthetic appeal. Plastics, such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or polylactic acid (PLA) can be used to offer lightweight construction, cost efficiency, and flexibility in design, making them suitable for mass production. These plastics may be injection molded, extruded, 3d printed, or thermoformed to achieve a desired shape. Additionally, recycled plastics may be used to enhance environmental sustainability. Further, the casing 100 may be fabricated from metals such as aluminum, stainless steel, or brass, which provide enhanced durability, a premium aesthetic, and resistance to deformation. Metal casings may be die-cast, machined, or stamped, and can undergo surface treatments (as will be described). Importantly, FIG. 1 is just one depiction of the cosmetic holder with integrated application system. It should be noted that the cosmetic holder with integrated application system can take many forms and be of many shapes. In the depictions featured in the Figures, the cosmetic holder is shown as a rounded rectangular prism or an elongated capsule-like form with a flat top and bottom, but numerous variations are possible. For example, the cosmetic holder may have a completely cylindrical, square, or polygonal cross-section. The top and bottom surfaces may be domed, concave, or feature asymmetric contours to enhance grip or aesthetic appeal. The body may include ergonomic indentations, texturing, or finger grooves to facilitate handling. The overall dimensions may be adjusted to accommodate different volumes of cosmetic product(s). That said, the cosmetic holder may be optimized for portability and convenience, and in one form, the dimensions of the holder may not exceed a maximum height of 3 inches, a width of 2.25 inches, and a thickness ranging from 0.75 to 0.85 inches. In such a form, these dimensions allow the holder to be easily carried in a mini handbag or pocket, making it an ideal accessory for daily use. However, as previously mentioned the holder need not be limited to such size/dimensioning.
As such, the casing surface 100S may be seen, which can be described as an outer layer of the casing 100 which will be seen by users or individuals in plain sight of the cosmetic holder with integrated application system. Notably, the casing surface 100S may have indicia applied thereto. The indicia applied to the casing surface 100S may serve both functional and aesthetic purposes, offering branding opportunities, customization options, and collectability. Indicia may include printed graphics, embossed or debossed designs, applied stickers, wraps, or paint coatings, each selected based on the material of the casing 100 and the desired visual effect. Printed graphics may be applied using UV printing, screen printing, or pad printing techniques, allowing for detailed logos, images, or text to be integrated directly onto the casing surface. Embossed or debossed designs may be incorporated during molding or machining processes (depending on the material selected for the casing 100), creating raised or recessed textures that add a tactile element to the holder. Additionally, adhesive stickers or vinyl wraps may be applied to the casing surface 100S, offering a method for temporary or interchangeable designs that can be easily swapped out by users (perhaps sold with the casing). These may be used for branding, product collaborations, or limited-edition collections, allowing cosmetic brands to feature licensed artwork, seasonal patterns, or influencer/celebrity/personality-endorsed aesthetics. For metallic casings, anodization, electroplating, or powder coating may be employed to create vibrant, durable color finishes. The inclusion of customizable indicia ensures that the cosmetic holder not only serves as a functional beauty tool but also as a personalized accessory, catering to consumer preferences for luxury finishes, coordinated color schemes, and collectible designs.
In addition to or without the indicia applied to the casing surface 100S, a high-friction coefficient material may be applied to enhance grip, tactile feedback, and overall user experience. This material can be selected based on its durability, texture, and ability to adhere to the casing's surface, ensuring long-term usability without compromising the aesthetic appeal. Suitable materials may include silicone coatings, rubberized polymers, thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), or soft-touch polyurethane (PU) coatings, all of which provide a slip-resistant surface that prevents the cosmetic holder from unintentionally sliding on smooth surfaces or slipping from a user's grasp. These materials can be spray-coated, dip-coated, over-molded, or applied as a thin adhesive layer, depending on the casing's base material and desired texture. The incorporation of high-friction materials enhances not only the functionality and usability of the cosmetic holder but also contributes to a premium tactile experience, making the device feel more refined and luxurious in hand.
Turning now to the cap 130, the cap 130 can be seen at a first distal end of the casing 101. In other words, the cap 130 may be at or near the top of the casing 100 and can be removed therefrom. When the cap 130 is placed on the casing 100, the cap 130 may snap into place or otherwise be secured to the casing 100 such that the cap 130 may not be removed from the casing 100 unless a force, such as by a hand, is applied to the cap 130 in a manner so as to remove the cap 130 from the casing 100. As a result, the cap 130 can be configured and dimensioned to removably affix to a first distal end of the casing 100. The cap 130 may be formed of the same material as the casing 100, as well as have indicia or friction materials placed thereon (similarly to the casing 100).
At the second distal end of the casing 102 (or the bottom of the casing 100/near the bottom of the casing 100) may be at least one receptacle 111. The casing 100 may have the receptacle(s) 111 formed integrally as part of its structure, wherein each receptacle 111 leads into at least one passage 110 (as will be described). Alternatively, a receptacle 111 of the casing 100 may lead into a passage 110 of the casing 100, forming an opening suitable for receiving additional components.
At least one receptacle 111 may have specific structures, geometries, or shapes that allow it to be configured and dimensioned to receive at least one housing 120 (where a housing 120 is depicted in FIG. 1 , but described in detail below). With continued reference to FIG. 1 , it can be noted that the casing 100 comprises two passages 110, wherein the receptacle(s) 111 have received two housings 120, the housings 120 being inserted into the casing 100.
With reference now to FIG. 2 , which depicts a lower perspective view of the cosmetic holder with an integrated application system, further details of the receptacles 111 depicted can be seen. Notably, the receptacles 111 can serve both a functional and ergonomic purpose, providing tactile and visual cues to the user, thereby facilitating the proper alignment and insertion of a housing 120. The receptacle(s) 111 may be dimensioned with a depth, diameter, or contour that corresponds to the outer profile of the housing(s) 120, ensuring a secure and stable fit when inserted. Additionally, the edges of the receptacles 111 may be beveled, chamfered, or slightly flared to further aid in ease of insertion while maintaining a seamless transition between the casing 100 and the internal passages 110. As such, the edges of the receptacles 111 may also allow for a riser 150 (as will be described) which may be present on a housing 120 to be exposed, wherein such a feature will be described in subsequent detail. Brief reference may be had to FIGS. 8 to view the receptacles 111 depicted in more detail as FIG. 8 is an under-side view of a cosmetic holder with integrated application system.
For more context related to a depiction of a cosmetic holder with integrated application system, FIG. 3 can be viewed to reference a front view of a cosmetic holder with integrated application system, FIG. 4 can be viewed to reference a rear view of a cosmetic holder with integrated application system, FIG. 5 can be viewed to reference a right-side view of a cosmetic holder with integrated application system, FIG. 6 can be viewed to reference a left-side view of a cosmetic holder with integrated application system, and FIG. 7 can be viewed to reference a top view of a cosmetic holder with integrated application system.
With reference now to FIG. 9 , FIG. 9 is an upper, exploded perspective view of a cosmetic holder with integrated application system. On the right side of the Figure, two housings 120 can be seen. As previously mentioned and depicted, the present disclosure provides for at least one housing 120 to be used with the casing. That said, a housing 120 can be inserted into the casing 100 via a receptacle 111. FIG. 9 depicts a dotted and dashed line to indicate such functionality and the orientation in which a housing 120 may be placed within a casing 100 via a receptacle. As such, a housing 120 can serve as removable storage component designed to contain and preserve a variety of cosmetic products. However, in some instances, a housing 120 need not contain cosmetic products, as a housing 120 can be used to house other small items (personal items) that might be useful to store for a user, such as medications and supplements, cigarettes and tobacco products, breath mints, perfumes/fragrances, dental care products, or jewelry. Each housing 120 may thus comprise a reservoir 125, which is configured and dimensioned to securely hold a cosmetic formulation (or personal items) while preventing spillage, leakage, or contamination during transport and use (in conjunction with other aspects of the present disclosure, which will be described).
A reservoir 125 within each housing 120 may be tailored to accommodate various types of cosmetic products, ensuring versatility for the user. For example, the reservoir 125 may contain powder-based products, such as pressed foundation, blush, bronzer, or setting powder, which require a dry storage environment and a secure, yet accessible dispensing method. Additionally, the reservoir 125 may be designed to hold liquid or gel-based cosmetics, including lip gloss, concealer, foundation, serums, mascara or skincare formulations. Also, the reservoir 125 can accommodate cream-based cosmetics, such as cream eyeshadows, blushes, or highlighters, ensuring that these softer formulations remain protected from drying out or contamination. Further, the housing 120, via the reservoir 125 may store wax-based cosmetics, such as lip balms, lipsticks, eyebrow pomades, or solid perfume.
In such an instance where the housing 120, via the reservoir 125, may contain a product that needs to be raised from the reservoir 125 and protrude out of it, such as lipstick, the housing 120 may contain a riser 150 (depicted in FIG. 2 ). Notably, the receptacles 111, as shown in FIG. 2 , do not obstruct the use of the riser 150, ensuring that a user can manipulate the riser 150 to gradually elevate the cosmetic product above the housing 120 for convenient access while the housing 120 is inserted into a passage 110 of the casing 100. This allows for precise dispensing and controlled application, particularly for solid or semi-solid formulations that require measured extrusion from the reservoir 125. As should be apparent, the housings 120 can be easily interchanged or replaced, allowing users to carry multiple product types within a single, compact casing 100, ultimately enhancing efficiency, portability, and convenience for on-the-go cosmetic application.
The engagement between the housing 120 and the casing 100 may be facilitated through the interaction of at least one receiving member 112 and at least one engaging member 121. As such, with continued reference to FIG. 9 , a receiving member 112 may be positioned within the passage 110 of the casing 100, whereas the engaging member 121 may located on the exterior surface of the housing 120. This engagement mechanism ensures that the housing 120 is securely retained within the casing 100 while also allowing for easy removal and replacement as needed.
The receiving member 112 may be configured in various forms to accommodate different engagement mechanisms. The receiving member 112 and the engaging member 121 may comprise corresponding threads, wherein the engaging member 121 is a threaded exterior surface of the housing 120, and the receiving member 112 is an internally threaded section within the passage 110. This threaded engagement allows the housing 120 to be twisted into the passage 110, providing a secure and stable connection that prevents accidental dislodgment. To remove the housing 120, the user simply rotates it in the opposite direction, disengaging the threads and allowing for easy extraction.
Alternatively, or at the same time, the receiving member 112 and the engaging member 121 may employ a bulge-and-recess engagement mechanism. In such an embodiment, the engaging member 121 may include at least one protrusion or bulge on the exterior of the housing 120, while the receiving member 112 comprises a corresponding recess within the passage 110 (or the engaging member 121 may comprise at least one recess and the receiving member 112 comprises a bulge). When the housing 120 is inserted into the passage 110, the bulge of the engaging member 121 is received within the recess of the receiving member 112, creating a snap-fit or press-fit engagement. This type of engagement allows for quick insertion and removal of the housing 120 while maintaining a stable and secure fit.
As previously mentioned, a combination of both engagement mechanisms may be utilized, where the engaging member 121 includes both threaded sections and bulged sections that interact with corresponding receiving members 112 in the passage 110. Such a configuration may enhance both security and ease of use, ensuring that the housing 120 remains firmly in place during normal use but can still be removed or replaced by the user when necessary.
The selection of the engagement mechanism may be influenced by the type of cosmetic product or personal item stored within the housing 120, as well as user preferences for ease of access. For example, a threaded engagement may be preferred for liquid or gel-based products, where a tight seal is necessary to prevent leakage, while a bulge-and-recess engagement may be more suitable for solid or powder-based products that require frequent access.
Regardless of the specific engagement mechanism employed, the receiving member 112 and the engaging member 121 work in conjunction to provide a reliable, interchangeable housing system. Also, regardless of the engagement mechanism employed, a riser 150 can be in use on a housing 120 having either a thread, bulge, recess, or other form as an engagement member 121.
Focusing on the cap 130 now, the cap 130 of the cosmetic holder is configured to create a seal, ensuring that regardless of the product or personal item stored within the casing 100 via the housing 120 or reservoir 125, the contents remain securely enclosed. This sealing function prevents leakage, contamination, and exposure to environmental factors such as air, moisture, or debris (which can spoil cosmetic products). The cap 130 achieves this through a precision-engineered fit over the first distal end of the casing 100, effectively covering and enclosing the openings of the passages 110 where the housings 120 are inserted. In addition, in some instances, within the inner cavity of the cap 130 (which is not depicted), the cap may contain seals that rest over the passages 110 and open ends of the reservoirs 125 so as to ensure a seal within the reservoir 125 when a housing 120 is inserted into the casing 100 and the cap 130 is placed thereon.
Additionally, within the inner cavity of the cap 130 (not depicted), an application system (also not depicted) may be incorporated. This application system is designed to interact with the stored cosmetic products within the housing 120 to facilitate the application process upon removal of the cap 130. The application system may include an applicator (not depicted), which could take various forms depending on the nature of the cosmetic product housed within the reservoir 125.
For example, if the housing 120 contains a liquid-based cosmetic such as lip gloss or concealer, the applicator may take the form of a doe-foot wand or a brush, ensuring precise and controlled application, the application system being the cap 130 and applicator, the cap 130 able to act as a handle for the applicator. For powder-based products such as pressed foundation or blush, the applicator may be a sponge or a compact puff, designed to facilitate even distribution. In either instance, the applicator may be removably affixed the inner cavity of the cap 130. Where the applicator may be used in conjunction with mascara, eyeliner, or liquid-based products, the applicator may be a wand or a precision brush that is affixed to the inner cavity of the cap 130. When the cap 130 is removed, the wand or brush is withdrawn from the reservoir 125, coated with the cosmetic product, and immediately ready for application. In the case of a powdered product, the applicator may be a sponge or compact puff that may be housed within the inner cavity of the cap 130 alone. In such an instance, when the cap 130 is removed, the applicator can be removed from the inner cavity of the cap 130, ready for use with the cosmetic product.
By integrating the applicator within the inner cavity of the cap 130, the cosmetic holder provides an efficient, all-in-one solution for on-the-go use. This design eliminates the need for separate applicators, reducing clutter while maintaining a streamlined and user-friendly form factor. Through such configurations, the cap 130 not only serves as a protective covering but also enhances the overall functionality and practicality of the cosmetic holder.
Now that the foregoing has been described, below is a use case example for the use of the instant cosmetic holder with integrated application system.
A user preparing for a long workday may store multiple cosmetic products within the cosmetic holder for convenience. The user selects a casing with three passages 110, and loads each with three separate housings 120. A first housing 120 contains liquid concealer in one reservoir 125, a pressed powder in another, and lipstick in a third. The compact size of the casing 100 allows the user to easily store it in a handbag. On the road and in the car, they remove the cap 130, which reveals a doe-foot applicator preloaded with concealer. Using the cap 130 as a handle, they apply the concealer with precision and ease. The user appreciates how the cap 130 keeps the applicator hygienic and prevents contamination when the applicator is within the reservoir 125. After application, the user returns the applicator to the reservoir 125, securing the cap 130 to maintain product integrity and prevent spills. Further along in the drive, the user needs to use pressed powder to achieve a more polished look. They remove the cap 130 again and take out a sponge applicator stored within the inner cavity of the cap 130. The sponge is used to apply the powder evenly, ensuring a polished look. Once finished, the user securely reattaches the cap 130, keeping all cosmetic items neatly stored and protected.
As the day progresses, the user requires their lips to look on point. A third housing 120 within the cosmetic holder contains a creamy lipstick housed within reservoir 125. The user removes the cap 130, then, using the riser 150, pushes the lipstick up and applies it. The cap 130 is secured, ensuring the product remains intact and mess-free inside the casing 100.
It is intended that all matters in the foregoing disclosure and shown in the accompanying drawings be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
