Eye Make Up Remover The invention relates to an eye make up remover tool which is compact, disposable, sensitive and cool for the eyes.

The object of this invention is to provide an eye make up remover for people on the move, at parties and clubs, or trovelling.

People constantly wet their fingers to rub away smudged mascara and eyeliner. They even take cotton buds into clubs and queue for a lifetime to get near a mirror. Staying at a mate's will entail lugging cotton buds and make up remover for which there just isn't the room in that little bag. This invention would be small enough to carry in a pocket and would contain a selection of short, bright, funky coloured sticks made from plastic. Each end would contain a bud coated in sensitive, cool, refreshing eye make up remover. One end would be pointed for accuracy and definition. The other would be a flat, fingernail shape. To keep the remover fresh, each stick is sealed in an airtight foil wrap.

Simply press the button to flick the lid and up pop the sticks. No more queues either. On the side of the lid is a handy little mirror.

For the perfect look, the containers come in a variety of colours and prints such as blue to match that outfit, leopard print for the animal in you and red for the devil in you plus many more.

A preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: FIGURE 1 shows the desired shape of the tool though is not to scale.

FIGURE 2 shows an example of the airtight foil wrap around the tool.

fI6UP:E 3 shows the desired container when closed.

FIGURED shows the container when open.

As shown in figure 1, the tool comprises of two ends which can are both used for removing eye make up. One end is pointed and is intended for use when on your make up is done and you smudge your eyeliner or mascara and want to remove it with precision. The other end is a flat fingernail shape designed for wiping away a block of make up.

Figure 2 shows the airtight foil wrap around the tool. This is designed for freshness and to stop the eye make up remover from dr ying out. A small indentation at the top of the wrap will enable one to open it with ease.

Figure 3 shows the container in the closed position. The lid has a mirror on one side for use when removing eye make up or anything else the user desires. On the top right hand side of the lid is a button which once pressed will flick the lid up (as shown in figure 4). The lid has a catch so that when the lid is pushed down, it locks until the button is pressed again. On the left hand side of the diagram in figure 3 is a hinge which joins the lid to the container and allows easy movement of the lid when opening and closing (as shown in figure 4).

Figure 4 shows the container when open. The height of the container is designed so that when the lid is open, the top of the sticks are visible and easily accessed without having to reach into the container.
