Abstract
A multi-functional, multi-compositional cosmetic applicator is disclosed. The applicator includes an application surface in liquid communication with a reservoir. The reservoir includes a first personal care composition and a second personal care composition stored therein, and the applicator is actuatable between a first and second functional configuration wherein the application surface of the applicator exhibits a first frictional force when in the first functional configuration and a second frictional force that is less than the first frictional force when in the second functional configuration. The applicator includes an actuatable delivery system that allows a user to selectively dispense the first and second compositions.

A cosmetic device that is a combination of a dispenser and a collector, the device comprising a reservoir with an internal movable barrier, wherein the reservoir includes a first enclosed volume on a first side of the barrier and a second volume on a second side of the barrier, wherein the first volume is configured to contain a personal care composition, and wherein the second volume is enclosed, except for being in fluid communication with a collection port.
The cosmetic device of claim 10, wherein the second volume is configured to store an amount of the personal care composition that has been dispensed.
A cosmetic device comprising a reservoir configured to contain a personal care composition, a delivery system configured to dispense the personal care composition, and a collection bar configured to scrape an amount of the personal care composition.
A method of using a cosmetic device, the method comprising:
- providing a cosmetic device that is a combination of a dispenser and a collector, the device including a reservoir with an internal movable barrier, wherein the reservoir includes a first enclosed volume on a first side of the barrier, wherein, when the applicator is dispensing, the first enclosed volume is in fluid communication with a dispensing orifice, and a second volume on a second side of the barrier, wherein the first volume contains a personal care composition, and wherein the second volume is enclosed, except for being in fluid communication with a collection port;
- dispensing at least a portion of the personal care composition through the dispensing orifice, to form dispensed personal care composition;
- and
- collecting at least a portion of the dispensed personal care composition into the collection port, to form collected personal care composition.
