Abstract

The Applicator Means comprises a plurality of identical applicators joined to a freestanding base by frangible couplings. Each applicator is configured to receive a sample of substance or preparation, i.e., lipstick, or such, by deposition on a stub end thereof. A removable cap is set over the stub end of each applicator to shield such substance or preparation as will be deposited on the stub end. The base, couplings and applicators constitute a single, unitized molding. The Method defines the steps to be exercised in depositing a preparation (i.e., the product sample of lipstick, or the like) on the stub ends of the applicators, simultaneously.
