Description

The present invention relates generally to cosmetic fixtures, and more particularly to cosmetic fixtures with modular cosmetic containers.

Cosmetic equipment is typically of a portable shape and size. Cosmetic equipment users may carry numerous containers and cases, which can create cluttered spaces.

Cosmetic fixtures of small size may lack a variety of shade, product, and formulation options. On the other hand, large cosmetic accessories may be too large to carry around. Modular cosmetics can also be too large to carry and difficult to configure.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to cosmetic fixtures comprising at least two cosmetic containers. In one embodiment, the containers can be pivotally attached to each other to conveniently store separate cosmetic compositions. The pivot member can be arranged to couple the first container and the second container side by side and on top of each other. Each configuration can provide a different form factor to the user based on the user's usage.

In another embodiment, the present disclosure may be directed to a cosmetic fixture that includes at least two cosmetic containers. The at least two cosmetic containers can include a first container having a first base and a second container having a second base. The first base can be pivotally attached to the second base about the side pivot member. A first lid can be positioned on the first base of the first container and a second lid can be positioned on the second base of the second container. The first container can be arranged to rotate up to about 180 degrees about the side pivot member relative to the second container. At least one cosmetic container selected from the at least two cosmetic containers may be provided with a mirror, and the mirror may be disposed inside the interior of a lid coupleable to the at least one cosmetic container. At least two cosmetic containers can be arranged to form a closed structure around the side pivot member. At least two cosmetic containers can be engaged together to form a stable closed structure and can be engaged together using male and female connectors. The at least two cosmetic containers can be stacked, and the at least two cosmetic containers can provide a user-portable form factor arrangement. Each of the at least two cosmetic containers can provide storage space and can form a modular arrangement. At least two cosmetic containers can be coupled side by side, and one cosmetic container can be coupled on top of another cosmetic container.
