A rotating cosmetic case comprising:

• an outer metal jacket (1) mechanically retained on a sheath (2) of synthetic material by both a rotational lock (3) and a tensile lock (4);
• said rotational lock (3) comprising a cut-out (5) that opens outwardly through a lower end of a cylindrical wall of the metal jacket (1), said cut-out (5) being mounted in cooperation with a molded projection (6) formed in the sheath (2) such that said molded projection (6) is located in said cut-out (5);
• said tensile lock (4) comprising:
• (i) an orifice (7) defined in the lower end of the metal jacket (1);
• and (ii) a wall portion (8) of the metal jacket (1) defined between the orifice (7) and the lower end of the metal jacket (1);
• said wall portion (8) of said tensile lock (4) curved inwardly such that it defines a recess (10) and such that said wall portion (8) is received in and engaged with a housing (9) located in the sheath (2).
