Abstract

A combined cosmetic jar and applicator storage device consisting of a structural body which provides a pair of back-to-back shallow recesses for holding a cosmetic material and an applicator, respectively. Two removable covers are carried by the body, one to close each of the recesses. The cover for one recess has a portion which telescopes into and is retained by a cooperable portion of the body, and has another portion consisting of a hinged flap which can be swung between open and closed positions to provide quick access to the applicator. Enhanced ease of use, coupled with improved function and an aesthetically pleasing physical appearance, are thus realizeable.
