Abstract

Two-in-one cosmetic systems having a tweezer removably disposed in a handle are disclosed. The tweezer may be removably disposed in a handle of the applicator, such that the tweezer is restrained and a pinching tip of the tweezer is in a closed position. By virtue of having a tweezer restrained and having a pinching tip in a closed position, the pinching tip of the tweezers remain sharp and undamaged until a time of use.

Claims (9)

1. A cosmetic system comprising:

a handle having an applicator fixed to and extending away from a first end of the handle, and a cavity defined by a surface arranged in a second end of the handle opposite the first end of the handle, an opening of the cavity being disposed in the surface arranged in the second end of the handle and the cavity extending towards the first end of the handle, the first end of the handle having a smaller diameter than the second end of the handle;

a tweezer comprising a pinching tip having cooperating edges for grooming a portion of the body, the tweezer removably disposed in the cavity; and

a cap fixed to a fulcrum of the tweezer,

wherein when the tweezer is removably disposed in the cavity, the pinching tip is held in a closed position by the surface of the cavity to keep the cooperating edges of the pinching tip undamaged, the pinching tip and the applicator form a substantially straight line such that the applicator extends substantially opposite the fulcrum of the tweezer, and

wherein the second end of the handle has a substantially cylindrical exterior profile that provides a first gripping surface and a protruding portion extending away from the first gripping surface such that a radial width of the protruding portion is smaller than a diameter of the cylindrical exterior profile of the first gripping surface, and the cap has a recess and a substantially cylindrical exterior profile that provides a second gripping surface, such that when the cap is removably coupled with the second end of the handle by inserting the protruding portion into the recess, the first and second gripping surfaces form a single gripping surface having a continuously smooth exterior profile.

2. The cosmetic system according to claim 1 , wherein the applicator fixed to the first end of the handle comprises a sponge.

3. The cosmetic system according to claim 1 , wherein the applicator fixed to the first end of the handle comprises bristles.

4. The cosmetic system according to claim 3 , wherein the bristles collectively provide a rectangular shape, a triangular shape or a convex shape.
