Abstract

A system for sample, trial, and/or full-sized products includes a container defining at least one cavity, a product disk, a cosmetic product, and an applicator. The product disk includes a first side, a second side, and a body extending therebetween. The product disk is positionable adjacent to the at least one cavity of the container. 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 system for sample, trial, and/or full-sized products comprising:
a container having a sidewall and a lower surface cooperating to define at least one cavity, the sidewall including a front portion and a rear portion;
a product disk having a first side, a second side, and a body extending therebetween, the product disk being positionable adjacent to the at least one cavity;
a cosmetic and/or skincare product being at least partially disposed on the first side of the product disk, wherein the cosmetic and/or skincare product is at least partially disposed within the at least one cavity when the product disk is positioned adjacent to the at least one cavity; and
an applicator having a first end, the first end including an applicator coupling mechanism including a track adapted to engage a portion of the product disk;
wherein the product disk is adapted to be removably coupled with the at least one cavity of the container and the applicator coupling mechanism by sliding the applicator in a planar direction generally parallel to the second side of the product disk to selectively engage or disengage the track with the portion of the product disk.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the body of the product disk includes a ledge adapted to slidably engage the track of the applicator coupling mechanism.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first side of the product disk is adapted to be disposed within the at least one cavity of the container.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one cavity includes a stop mechanism adapted to restrict planar movement of the product disk.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the container further defines an applicator cavity adapted to retain at least a portion of the applicator.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one cavity of the container includes a retention member adapted to retain the product disk.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the retention member includes at least one of a magnetic member, a sidewall, or a protrusion.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the cosmetic and/or skincare 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.

9. The 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 and/or skincare product when the product disk is positioned adjacent to the at least one cavity.

10. The system of claim 1 , the container defining a second cavity, the system further including a second cosmetic and/or skincare product being at least partially disposed on a second product disk, the second cosmetic and/or skincare product having a different visual characteristic than a visual characteristic of the cosmetic and/or skincare product.

11. The reusable product system of claim 1 , wherein the first end of the applicator includes an angled surface, the track extending about a periphery of the angled surface.

12. The reusable product system of claim 11 , wherein the applicator has a longitudinal axis and the angled surface extends obliquely from the longitudinal axis defined by the applicator.

13. 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.

14. A system for sample, trial, and/or full-sized products comprising:
a container defining at least one cavity;
a product disk having a first side, a second side, and a body extending therebetween, the product disk being positionable adjacent to the at least one cavity;
a cosmetic and/or skincare product being at least partially disposed on the first side of the product disk; and
an applicator having a first end including an applicator coupling mechanism and an angled surface, the applicator coupling mechanism including a raised track extending about a periphery of the angled surface;
wherein the product disk is adapted to be removably coupled with the cavity of the container and the applicator coupling mechanism by sliding the applicator in a planar direction generally parallel to the second side of the product disk to selectively engage or disengage the raised track and the product disk.
