Eyebrow and/or eyelash tinting kit for home application

Abstract

An eyebrow and eyelash tinting kit for home application provides a paste in the lower compartment and a liquid in the upper compartment. A two-part cylindrical container is provided, with a thin membrane between the two compartments. The kit also provides a mascara wand and one or more pads pre-soaked with cleansing solution. The user twists the upper segment of the container, which ruptures the membrane to release the liquid into the lower compartment. The upper segment is removed, and the mascara wand is used to thoroughly mix the liquid with the paste. The resulting mixture is applied on clean eyelashes and eyebrows for 20 minutes, then removed using the pads.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . The first exemplary embodiment is comprised of three components: a two-part cylindrical container  12 , a mascara wand  11 , and one or more pads  10  which are pre-soaked with cleansing solution. The container  12  is divided into an upper segment  14  enclosing an upper compartment  14 A, and a lower segment  15  enclosing a lower compartment  15 A, and provides a thin membrane  14 B between the two segments. A paste is provided in the lower compartment  15 A and a liquid in the upper compartment  14 A. Preferably, when packaged the wand  11  is removably affixed to the top surface of the container  12 , while the pads  10  are provided in a sealed, waterproof packet. 
     
     
         2 . To use the first exemplary embodiment the user twists the upper segment  14  of the container  12 , which ruptures the membrane  14 B to release the liquid into the lower compartment  15 A. The upper segment  14  is removed, and the wand  12  is used to thoroughly mix the liquid with the paste. The resulting mixture is applied on clean eyelashes and eyebrows for 20 minutes, using the wand  12 . The mixture is then promptly removed using the pads  10 . 
     
     
         3 . The pads  10  are preferably manufactured from a flexible, durable fabric which is absorbent, such as cotton or a cotton-rayon blend. The wand  11  and the container  12  are preferably manufactured from a rigid, durable material, such as plastic. The membrane  14 B is preferably manufactured from a flexible, durable material which is easily ruptured, such as waxed paper or flexible plastic. 
     
     
         4 . Components, component sizes, and materials listed above are preferable, but artisans will recognize that alternate components and materials could be selected without altering the scope of the invention. 
     
     
         5 . While the foregoing written description of the invention enables one of the ordinary skill to make and use what is presently considered to be the best mode thereof, those of ordinary skill in the art will understand and appreciate the existence of variations, combinations, and equivalents of the specific embodiment, method, and examples herein. The invention should, therefore, not be limited by the above described embodiment, method, and example, but by all embodiments and methods within the scope and spirit of the invention.
