Abstract

A band, sleeve, or tag that encircles and fits around the case or tube of lipstick, lip gloss, chap stick, or similar item. The band, sleeve or tag has different textures, patterns, designs, colors, shapes, width, and the like, so that the user can identify the different case or tubes by feel, or by visual inspection of the larger visual identifier, instead of having to look down or read the label. The band, sleeve, or tag can come in different sizes to accommodate differently sized tubes or cases. They may have charms, sequins, furs, rhinestones, ribbons, glitter, and similar items attached or incorporated into the band, sleeve or tag, in addition to variations in color, width, patterns, and designs.
