The cosmetic product is at least partially disposed on the first side of the product disk. The applicator has first end that includes an applicator coupling mechanism. The product disk is removably coupled with the cavity of the container and the applicator coupling mechanism.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A reusable product system comprising:
an applicator having a first end including an angled surface and an applicator coupling mechanism, the applicator coupling mechanism including an elevated track extending about a periphery of the angled surface; and
a product disk having a first side, a second side, and a body extending therebetween defining a ledge, the second side of the product disk being positionable adjacent to the first end of the applicator; and
a cosmetic product being at least partially disposed on the first side of the product disk;
wherein the product disk is adapted to removably couple with the applicator via sliding engagement between the ledge and the applicator coupling mechanism.

2. The reusable product system of claim 1 , wherein the angled surface extends obliquely from a longitudinal axis defined by the applicator.

3. The reusable product system of claim 1 , further comprising a visual indicator defined by the body of the product disk, the visual indicator adapted to allow identification of the cosmetic product when the product disk is not coupled with the applicator.

4. The reusable product system of claim 1 , wherein the applicator further includes an interior cavity adapted to receive additional cosmetic product disposed on the second side of the product disk.

5. The reusable product system of claim 1 , wherein the cosmetic product includes at least one of a lipstick, a foundation, a concealer, an eyeshadow, a bronzer, a brow, a solid serum, a solid SPF product, a skin care item, a solid face balm, a lip balm, an applicator head, a brush, a solid blush, a solid contouring stick, an impregnated sponge or carrier, or a semi-solid skin care or cosmetic product.
