## Abstract

A lipstick arrangement including a casing and a protective covering. The casing including a first part including a carrier at a bottom region, a second part and a protruding element attached to the second part. Lipstick bullet is mounted on the carrier and has an elongate shape including a sloping top portion. The carrier is operatively coupled to the first part and the second part and the carrier is arranged to move in an axial direction relative to the second part in response to the first part being rotated relative to the second part. The protective covering covers the first part of the casing when applied to the casing. The lipstick bullet when completely unscrewed is exposed in such a way that the sloping top portion of the lipstick bullet faces substantially oppositely to the protruding element.
