Compact Cosmetics Container

Abstract

A pencil shaped compact cosmetics container assembly has a pressed powder stored in a cylindrical segment having a cover that opens along a length rather than at an end such that the powder is visible to a user loading a brush with the powder before applying as a cosmetic, such as eyeshadow. Another section of the assembly holds a brush that is stored under the cover, the another section serving to lock the cover in a closed position.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A compact cosmetics container comprising:
 A generally pencil-shaped cosmetics container assembly having at least a first section and a second section;   the second section is characterized by a cylindrical portion that is divided into two segments along a length such that there is a base portion that may be covered by a cover portion, the base portion being joined to the cover portion by a hinge portion;   the base portion is characterized by a pressed powder container;   a pressed powder applicator connected to the first section is stored between the cover portion and the base portion; and   wherein, when the first section is assembled with the second section, the cover portion is locked over the base portion such that a pressed powder stored in the pressed powder container cannot be accessed by a user.   
     
     
         2 . The compact cosmetics container of  claim 1  further comprising a mascara applicator extending from an end of the second section, opposite an end that connects to the first section; and
 a third section that contains mascara, the third section being removable from the second section such that the mascara applicator may be dipped into the mascara during use or storage. 
 
     
     
         3 . The compact cosmetics container of  claim 1  wherein the first section is characterized by an eyeliner container that dispenses eyeliner; the eyeliner being protected by a removable eyeliner cap.
