Cosmetic Agitator

Abstract

A cosmetic agitator to eliminate cosmetic clumping during cosmetic application is provided. The cosmetic agitator includes a housing containing a vibration unit and a power source, a fastener extending from the housing, and a control interface for selective activation. The fastener can secure the cosmetic agitator to a cosmetic applicator, such as a mascara wand, allowing vibrations to be transmitted through the applicator during use. The vibrations reduce clumping of the cosmetic substance, allowing even distribution and coverage of more surface area of the lashes. In one embodiment, the fastener is a soft silicone ring that stretches to fit most applicators, providing a universal cosmetic agitator for all types of cosmetic products. The vibration unit is powered by a replaceable battery housed within a battery compartment. The internal battery and vibration unit are compact and easily replaceable, making the device convenient and cost-effective. The control interface allows for manual activation.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A cosmetic agitator, comprising:
 a housing comprising a vibration unit and a power source, wherein the vibration unit is configured to selectively vibrate the cosmetic agitator;   a flexible fastener extending from the housing forming a loop, the fastener configured to secure the cosmetic agitator to a cosmetic applicator in an application configuration;   a control interface disposed on the housing, wherein activation of the control interface actuates the vibration unit which causes vibrations to be transmitted to the cosmetic applicator in the application configuration.   
     
     
         2 . The cosmetic agitator of  claim 1 , wherein the fastener is configured to stretch around the cosmetic applicator. 
     
     
         3 . The cosmetic agitator of  claim 2 , wherein the fastener is a silicone ring. 
     
     
         4 . The cosmetic agitator of  claim 1 , wherein the power source is a replaceable battery disposed within the housing. 
     
     
         5 . The cosmetic agitator of  claim 1 , wherein the housing encloses the vibration unit and the power source. 
     
     
         6 . The cosmetic agitator of  claim 1 , wherein the vibration unit comprises:
 a motor operably connected to the power source;   a battery contact switch that regulates power supplied to the motor based on the actuation of the control interface.   
     
     
         7 . The cosmetic agitator of  claim 4 , wherein the housing comprises a battery compartment with a removable cover for battery replacement. 
     
     
         8 . The cosmetic agitator of  claim 1 , wherein the control interface is a switch mechanism configured to provide multiple vibration intensity levels. 
     
     
         9 . The cosmetic agitator of  claim 1 , wherein the flexible fastener comprises an adjustable strap. 
     
     
         10 . The cosmetic agitator of  claim 1 , wherein the vibration unit is configured to generate oscillations at a frequency range of 10 Hz to 100 Hz when actuated. 
     
     
         11 . The cosmetic agitator of  claim 1 , wherein the housing is made of a water-resistant material. 
     
     
         12 . The cosmetic agitator of  claim 1 , further comprising an indicator light disposed on the housing, wherein the indicator light provides a visual cue indicating power status and battery level. 
     
     
         13 . The cosmetic agitator of  claim 1 , wherein the control interface is configured for single-press activation, allowing the device to vibrate for a predetermined duration. 
     
     
         14 . The cosmetic agitator of  claim 1 , wherein the power source is wirelessly rechargeable via a charging port. 
     
     
         15 . The cosmetic agitator of  claim 1 , wherein the power source is wirelessly rechargeable via an induction charging system. 
     
     
         16 . The cosmetic agitator of  claim 1 , wherein the cosmetic applicator bears directly against the housing, wherein the vibration unit causes the cosmetic applicator to vibrate. 
     
     
         17 . The cosmetic agitator of  claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises a cylinder having a first end and a second end forming a first longitudinal axis, wherein the loop of the fastener is configured to receive the cosmetic applicator in a parallel axis to first longitudinal axis. 
     
     
         18 . The cosmetic agitator of  claim 17 , wherein a distal end of the cosmetic applicator extends past a distal end of the housing. 
     
     
         19 . The cosmetic agitator of  claim 17 , wherein the application configuration, the cosmetic agitator and the cosmetic applicator are in a stacked configuration.
