Cosmetic product sampling system

A reusable product system comprising:

• an applicator having a first end, the first end including an applicator retention region, the applicator retention region including a countersunk region;
• an applicator engaging mechanism operably coupled with the applicator, the applicator engaging mechanism including a grip member disposed within an applicator interior cavity of the applicator, wherein the grip member includes a grip member interior cavity and a plurality of arms positionable in an open configuration and a closed configuration, the plurality of arms being biased to the closed configuration by an elastomeric material, the elastomeric material being in a contracted state when the plurality of arms are in the closed configuration and the elastomeric material being in an expanded state when the plurality of arms are in the open configuration;
• a product disk having a first side, a second side, a body including an outer sidewall extending therebetween, the outer sidewall dimensioned to nest within the countersunk region of the applicator, and a protrusion extending beyond the second side of the product disk, at least a portion of the second side of the product disk being positionable adjacent to the applicator retention region;
• and
• a cosmetic and/or skincare product being at least partially disposed on the first side of the product disk;
• wherein when the plurality of arms of the grip member are positioned in the open configuration, the protrusion is selectively insertable within the grip member interior cavity, and when the plurality of arms of the grip member are positioned in the closed configuration, the plurality of arms prevent the protrusion from being removed from the grip member interior cavity;
• wherein the applicator engaging mechanism is adapted to removably couple the applicator with the product disk, wherein the grip member is adapted to grasp the protrusion to removably couple the product disk with the applicator.

A reusable product system comprising:

• an applicator having a first end including an applicator retention region, the applicator retention region including a countersunk region, the applicator extending along a longitudinal axis;
• an applicator engaging mechanism operably coupled with the applicator, the applicator engaging mechanism including a grip member disposed within an applicator interior cavity of the applicator and a separate urging member configured to move relative to the grip member, wherein the grip member includes grip member interior cavity and a plurality of arms extending along the longitudinal axis of the applicator, the plurality of arms positionable in an open configuration and a closed configuration, wherein the plurality of arms are relatively closer to the longitudinal axis in the closed configuration than the open configuration, the plurality of arms being biased to the closed configuration;
• a product disk having a first side, a second side, a body including an outer sidewall extending therebetween, the outer sidewall dimensioned to nest within the countersunk region of the applicator, and a protrusion extending beyond the second side of the product disk and including a ball, at least a portion of the second side of the product disk being positionable adjacent to the applicator retention region;
• and
• a cosmetic product being at least partially disposed on the first side of the product disk;
• wherein the applicator engaging mechanism is adapted to:
• couple the product disk with the applicator by grasping the protrusion with the plurality of arms of the grip member such that the protrusion is at least partially disposed within the grip member interior cavity;
• and
• release the product disk from the applicator by moving the urging member relative to the grip member along the longitudinal axis of the applicator towards the first end of the applicator to contact the ball of the protrusion, thereby urging the protrusion of the disk from the plurality of arms of the grip member via contact between the urging member and the ball.
