Bottle cap with cosmetic kit

A method for carrying and dispensing cosmetics within a cap for a bottle, the method comprising:

• opening a lid by overcoming a snap fit between a lip on the lid and a formation on a perimeter of the cap and pressurably moving the lid, freely moving on a hinge, to an open position and filling a cosmetic reservoir within the cap with a cosmetic;
• subsequently opening the lid by overcoming the snap fit between the lip on the lid and the formation on a perimeter of the cap and pressurably moving the lid, freely moving on the hinge, to an open position to access and remove a portion of the cosmetic from the cosmetic reservoir;
• applying the cosmetic;
• and
• closing the lid by pressurably moving the lid, freely moving on the hinge to a closed position and engaging the lip with the formation with the snap fit,
• wherein the opening of the lid is stopped by contact with an arc-shaped handle, unitarily formed with the cap, that extends from opposing positions beneath the lid on a side of the cap, a portion of which handle engages a portion of the lid in the open position to restrict hinged movement beyond a predetermined open angle.

A bottle system, comprising:

• a bottle for receiving a liquid;
• a sleeve that receives the bottle;
• a cap, the cap comprising,
• a threaded section for engaging with the bottle,
• a reservoir chamber for receiving a cosmetic,
• a barrier wall disposed between the threaded section and the reservoir chamber, and
• a lid configured to enclose the reservoir chamber, the lid having a hinge that freely moves between a closed position and an open position based upon force applied by a user, the lid being retained in the closed position by a snap fit in which a locking lip engages a formation on a perimeter of the cap, and the lid selectively positionable in open position by a pressurable motion of the user to moving the hinge freely to the open position to provide selective access to the cosmetic;
• and
• an arc-shaped handle extending upwardly from the lid on opposing edges of the cap beneath lid and defining a top portion that interferes with hinged movement of the lid in the open position beyond a predetermined open angle.
