Abstract

A lipstick arrangement including a casing and a protective covering. The casing includes a first part including a carrier at a bottom region, a second part and a protruding element attached to the second part. Lipstick bullet is mounted on the carrier and has an elongate shape including a sloping top portion. The carrier is operatively coupled to the first part and the second part and the carrier is arranged to move in an axial direction relative to the second part in response to the first part being rotated relative to the second part. The protective covering covers the first part of the casing when applied to the casing. The sloping top portion of the lipstick bullet is configured to face away from the protruding element when the lipstick bullet is unscrewed to a fully deployed position.

Claims (27)

1. A lipstick arrangement comprising:

a casing comprising:

a first part, wherein

a carrier is located at a bottom region of the first part, wherein

a lipstick bullet is mounted on the carrier and has an elongate shape comprising a sloping top portion;

a second part, wherein

the carrier is operatively coupled to the first part and the second part, and

wherein the carrier is configured to move in an axial direction relative to the second part in response to the first part being rotated relative to the second part; and

a protruding element attached to the second part; and

a protective covering that is configured to cover the first part of the casing when applied to the casing, wherein

an internal surface of the protective covering comprises a plurality of facets configured to abut on the first part of the casing,

a first facet of the plurality of facets is separated from a second facet of the plurality of facets on the internal surface of the protective covering, and

the sloping top portion of the lipstick bullet is configured to face away from the protruding element when the lipstick bullet is unscrewed to a fully deployed position,

wherein the protruding element provides for flexural retention over an outwardly projecting feature of the protective covering, for snap fit retention of the protective covering onto the protruding element.

2. The lipstick arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the sloping top portion of the lipstick bullet is configured to face in direction that is in a range of 60 degrees to 180 degrees away from direction of the protruding element.

3. The lipstick arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the sloping top portion of the lipstick bullet is configured to face in direction that is mutually opposite to direction of the protruding element.

4. The lipstick arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the lipstick bullet comprises a ridge configured to face in a same direction as the protruding element.

5. The lipstick arrangement of claim 4 , wherein the ridge extends from 10% to 80% of an elongate length of the lipstick bullet.

6. The lipstick arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the lipstick arrangement comprises a grip-enhancing coating having an anti-slip texture on the casing and the protective covering, that is configured to provide a better grip to fingers of a user holding the lipstick arrangement.

7. The lipstick arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the protruding element is any one of: a lip structure, a crown structure, a heart structure, a diamond structure, or a combination thereof.

8. The lipstick arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the protruding element is arranged at an angle with a horizontal axis of the lipstick arrangement, wherein the angle of the protruding element with the horizontal axis of the lipstick arrangement is in a range of 10 degrees to 90 degrees.

9. The lipstick arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the protruding element is configured to position the lipstick arrangement in any one of a packaging carton, a purse, a bag, or a backpack in a way that prevents damage to the corresponding any one of the packaging carton, the purse, the bag, or the backpack.

10. The lipstick arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the lipstick bullet-mounted on the carrier is actuated along an elongate axis of the lipstick arrangement, in response to the first part being rotated relative to the second part, for deploying and retracting the lipstick bullet from the casing.

11. The lipstick arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the lipstick bullet is a cosmetic composition comprising at least one of a non-ionic alkyl phosphate, a base, a humectant, water, a structuring agent, oil, a pigment, or a glitter.

12. The lipstick bullet when used in the lipstick arrangement of claim 11 , wherein the lipstick bullet is a lip color, lip balm, or lip gloss.

13. The lipstick bullet when used in the lipstick arrangement of claim 11 , wherein the lipstick bullet gives a glossy, lustrous, matte, or shimmery effect, when applied to lips of a user.
