Container for storing cosmetics

Abstract

The container system for cosmetics includes a jewelry body, a lid member, a magnetic anchor, and an insert tray. The jewelry body has a chamber with a top end and a bottom end with an aperture extending through the bottom end, and the lid member attaches to the jewelry body to cover the top end of the chamber. In a closed position of the lid member, the container system is a ring, bracelet, necklace, pendant, locket or other piece of jewelry. The magnetic anchor in the bottom end of the chamber magnetically engages the insert tray. The aperture through the chamber and the hole through the magnetic anchor are aligned so that a tool can be inserted through these openings to dislodge the insert tray. Other interchangeable insert trays can be mounted in the chamber for varying the cosmetics stored in the container system.
