A cosmetic container including interleaved substantially vertical walls upwardly and downwardly extending respectively from a base component and from a product reservoir, with a further downwardly extending tongue projection from an underside of its cover, and in which cooperating detents on the tongue projection and on the reservoir pivot the cover open and closed, to form an internal hinge which is unobservable to a consumer, thereby providing a more aesthetically pleasing appearance to the container in both its opened and closed positions.
