Abstract

A display-type applicator-containing compact for cosmetics and the like, comprises a shallow jar having a wide neck portion with external screw threads, and a ring-shaped screw cap member that is mounted on and cooperable with the neck portion. The neck portion has an annular sealing lip, and a plastic lens member is disposed in the screw cap member to provide an underside sealing area that engages the sealing lip. A swivel-mounted tray adapted to hold cosmetic material is pivotally mounted in the jar in spaced relation to the jar bottom, providing sufficient space under the tray to store a puff or similar applicator. The underside of the tray is a mirror, for use when the tray is swung up out of the jar, and when the applicator is being used.
