Cosmetic makeup sponge/blender container
A cosmetic sponge drying and storage container has a plurality of components, including at least a first component and a second component, the first component being moveable with respect to the second component to position the container in at least an open condition and a closed condition. At least one of the first component or said second component is perforated with perforations. A cosmetic sponge may be placed within the container when in the open condition and the perforations provide at least 10% ventilation when the container is in the closed condition. Preferably, both the first and second components are perforated to provide for cross-ventilation. In addition, a base may be provided to support the first and second components, and most preferably the base may be perforated.
1. A cosmetic sponge drying and storage container comprising of:
a first component, said first component having an opening of a first size;
a second component, said second component having an opening of a second size, said second size being smaller than said first size;
said first component engaging with said second component by positioning said opening of said first component over said opening of said second component, thereby placing said container in a closed condition;
wherein both of said first component and said second component include apertures, said apertures providing at least 10% ventilation when said container is in said closed condition, said ventilation including cross-ventilation.
2. The cosmetic sponge drying and storage container of claim 1 , wherein said first component and said second component are frictionally engaged in said closed condition.
3. The cosmetic sponge drying and storage container of claim 1 , wherein said openings are circular.
4. The cosmetic sponge drying and storage container of claim 1 , wherein said apertures are arranged in groups separated by non-ventilated space, the space between apertures of the groups being less than the space between groups.
5. The cosmetic sponge drying and storage container of claim 1 , wherein said first component and said second component are completely separable to open the container in normal use.
6. The cosmetic sponge drying and storage container of claim 1 , wherein engaging is by relative linear movement of said first component relative said second component.
7. The cosmetic sponge drying and storage container of claim 1 , wherein said first component and second component include opposed semispherical ends.
8. The cosmetic sponge drying and storage container of claim 1 , wherein said first component and second component are pliable.
9. The cosmetic sponge drying and storage container of claim 1 , wherein said apertures are configured in the design of a conventional tapered egg shaped sponge/blender.
10. The cosmetic sponge drying and storage container of claim 1 , wherein said ventilation is adjustable ventilation.
11. The cosmetic sponge drying and storage container of claim 1 , consisting of said first and second component.
12. The cosmetic sponge drying and storage container of claim 1 , consisting essentially of said first and second component.
13. A kit of cosmetic accessories, said kit comprising:
a cosmetic sponge drying and storage container comprising of a first component, said first component having an opening of a first size; a second component, said second component having an opening of a second size, said second size being smaller than said first size; said first component engaging with said second component by positioning said opening of said first component over said opening of said second component, thereby placing said container in a closed condition; wherein both of said first component and said second component include apertures, said apertures being sufficient to provide at least 10% ventilation when said container is in said closed condition, said ventilation including cross-ventilation; and,
at least one cosmetic sponge.
14. The kit of claim 13 , wherein said first component and said second component include opposed semispherical ends.
15. The kit of claim 13 , wherein said first component and second component are pliable.
16. The kit of claim 13 , wherein said first component and second component include opposed semispherical ends.
17. The kit of claim 13 , wherein said openings are circular.
18. The kit of claim 13 , wherein said ventilation is adjustable ventilation.
19. The kit of claim 13 , wherein said cosmetic sponge drying and storage container consists of said first component and said second component.
20. The kit of claim 13 , wherein said cosmetic sponge drying and storage container consists essentially of said first component and said second component.
21. A method of drying a cosmetic sponge comprising:
opening a cosmetic sponge container having a first component and a second component, the container having apertures sufficient to provide ventilation of at least 10%, the ventilation being such that cross-ventilation is created when the container is closed;
placing a moistened sponge within the second component;
allowing the moistened sponge to dry.
22. The method of claim 21 , wherein opening of the cosmetic sponge container is by separating the first component from the second component.
23. The method of claim 21 , further comprising the step of closing the container prior to the step of allowing.
24. The method of claim 21 , wherein closing is by positioning the first component at least partially around the second component.
25. The method of claim 21 , wherein both the first component and second component include apertures.
26. The method of claim 21 , further comprising adjusting the level of ventilation.
27. The method of claim 26 , wherein adjusting is via relative movement between the first component and the second component.
28. The method of claim 21 , wherein the cosmetic sponge container consists of the first component and the second component.
29. The method of claim 21 , wherein the cosmetic sponge container consists essentially of the first component and the second component.
