Abstract
The present invention relates to a solid composition that is especially in the form of a product cast as a stick or in acupel, the said composition having an outer surface, and containing one or more magnetic bodies (1) of non-zero magnetic susceptibility, the said solid composition being characterized in that these magnetic bodies (1) are on at least part of the said outer surface non-randomly oriented in the solid composition so as to form on the said outer surface one or more pattern(s) (5).

-12. (canceled)
A solid composition comprising:
- an outer surface, and
- a plurality of magnetic bodies of non-zero magnetic susceptibility,
- wherein the plurality of magnetic bodies is located on at least part of the outer surface and non-randomly oriented to form at least one first pattern on the outer surface.
A method of manufacturing a solid cosmetic composition, the method comprising:
- preparing a fluid cosmetic composition comprising a plurality of magnetic bodies of non-zero magnetic susceptibility,
- casting the fluid cosmetic composition as a stick or in a cupel,
- at least partially exposing the fluid cosmetic composition to a magnetic field to modify the orientation of and/or at least partly to move the plurality of magnetic bodies within the fluid cosmetic composition, in order to distribute the plurality of magnetic bodies non-randomly in the fluid cosmetic composition, and
- solidifying the fluid cosmetic composition to form a solid cosmetic composition.
