Cosmetic compact with twistable lid

A cosmetic compact comprising:

• a pan for holding a product;
• a base assembly comprising a base and an insert, the base at least partially encasing the insert and the insert at least partially encasing the pan;
• a twistable lid assembly coupled to the base assembly, the twistable lid assembly comprising:
• a lid having an external surface and an internal surface;
• and
• a hinge linking the base assembly and the twistable lid assembly, the twistable lid assembly being pivotable about the hinge by at least about 180 degrees relative to the base assembly, the hinge disposed on an outer perimeter of the twistable lid assembly at an oblique angle relative to the external surface of the twistable lid assembly.

A cosmetic compact comprising:

• a pan for holding a product;
• a base assembly at least partially encasing the pan;
• a lid assembly rotatably coupled to the base assembly, the lid assembly comprising:
• a lid;
• a hinge configured to enable rotation of the lid assembly relative to the base assembly between:
• a stowed position in which an external planar surface of the lid assembly is substantially parallel to a bottom surface of the base assembly;
• and
• a use position in which the lid assembly is twisted about the hinge to expose the pan, the used position being generated by twisting the lid assembly about an axis by about 180 degrees, the axis being fixed at an oblique angle relative to the bottom surface of the base assembly.

A cosmetic compact comprising:

• a base assembly;
• a lid assembly;
• a rotational mechanism coupling the lid assembly to the base assembly, the rotational mechanism allowing the lid assembly to twist about an axis of rotation that is fixed relative to the base assembly between:
• a closed position in which a top surface of the lid assembly is substantially parallel to a bottom surface of the base assembly;
• and
• an open position in which the top surface of the lid assembly is inclined relative to the bottom surface of the base assembly by at least 15 and at most 75 degrees.
