Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cosmetic sample for distribution to consumers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a new cosmetic product such as a foundation is put on the market, a cosmetic free sample is distributed so that consumers can know the product well.

In a conventional sample, for example, in the case of a foundation (solid foundation or creamy foundation), two dents are formed by a thin plate made of plastic, and one of them is filled with a cosmetic as a sample and the other is filled. A container that contains a foam that serves as an applicator for applying it to the depression and covers the lid with a transparent portion so that the color of the cosmetic can be seen, and attach this container to the mount that describes the cosmetic. It is attached and distributed to consumers. Each cosmetics manufacturer provides a free sample of foundation to consumers in almost the same form.

However, in the conventional sample of foundation, the amount of the cosmetic material to be put in the depression is large enough to be used many times, and if the sponge as the applicator is too thin, it is not comfortable. Since it is not suitable for coating, the thickness of each sample must be at least 7 mm, and the cost of each sample is considerably high.

[0005]

Since the free sample is distributed to a large number of consumers free of charge, it has been desired by the cosmetics manufacturers to make the price as low as possible.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a very inexpensive sample as a whole without using a large amount of cosmetics and using an applicator as cheap as possible.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention is a free sample in which a cosmetic and an applicator are combined, wherein the cosmetic is a foundation or a blusher, and the cosmetic is applied to a paper mount. The above object was achieved by a sample cosmetic product characterized in that a thin puff was attached to a mount, and a notch for cutting was provided in the mount corresponding to the attachment location.

[0008]

EXAMPLE In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b), the mount 1 can be folded in two as shown in FIG. 1 (a), and one side of the inner surface when the mount 1 is folded in two. 11, a foundation 2 or blusher is thinly applied to the mount 1 in an amount sufficient for one-time use, as shown in (b).

A small applicator 3 made of an extremely thin sponge having a thickness of about 2 mm is attached to an inner surface 12 on the opposite side of the mount 1 with an adhesive. As shown in (a), a notch 13 for separating is provided at a place on the mount 1 corresponding to the pasted place. The size of the notch 13 for separation is approximately the same as the size of the applicator 3 or is reduced by about one size. In this way, it is preferable to make the cut-off notch 13 small so that the separated portion 14 of the mount 1 does not come into contact with the skin when the applicator 3 is used after being separated from the mount 1.

As the applicator 3 in the present invention, the foam itself or the surface of the foam may be flocked.
Since the thinner the foam is, the cheaper it is, the thickness is 5 mm or less, preferably 3 mm or less. Further, a non-woven fabric having an appropriate thickness (1 mm or more) may be used as the applicator 3 instead of the foam.

When applying the cosmetics 2 for trial, the consumer who receives this free sample cuts off the cut-off notch 13 on the mount 1 to separate the puff 3 from the mount 1. Since the separated portion 14 of the mount 1 remains attached to the puff 3, the puff 3 itself is very thin but has a waist, and when the cosmetic material 2 is applied, the puff 3 is separated by the separated portion 14 of the mount. Since it can be prevented from penetrating to the back, cosmetics can be applied without soiling the hands. It is possible to easily judge whether or not to purchase by applying the cosmetics 2 provided as a free sample by using the puff 3 and checking the color, the degree of coating, and the like.

In another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 2 (a) to 2 (c), an applicator 3 made of a thin sponge is attached on a mount 1 by an adhesive, and (c) As shown in FIG. 5, a cut 13 for cutting is provided at a position of the mount 1 corresponding to the attached sponge 3.

In this embodiment, two sponges 3 and 3 are attached to the mount 1, and the surface of each sponge 3 is pre-coated with sample cosmetics 2 and 2 ′ serving as samples. A cover 4 made of a transparent thin sheet covers the applicators 3 and 3 from above to prevent the cosmetics 2 and 2'from scattering.

The consumer who receives this free sample removes the upper cover 4 when using it, and cuts 1 for separating the mount 1.
3, the separated portion 14 and the sponge 3 are integrated to form a cosmetic material 2 attached to the sponge 3,
2'can be applied. Even in that case, since the backing sheet 14 is attached to almost the entire back surface of the sponge 3, the sponge 3 having a size of about 2 to 3 mm is sufficient. Moreover, since the cosmetics 2 and 2'are applied to a plurality of sponges 3, it is suitable for use as a sample of a combination of a plurality of colors such as blusher when actually selling.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C, the mount 1 has a ruled line 1a in the center so that it can be folded in half.
Is attached, and a sponge serving as the applicator 3 is attached to one side thereof with an adhesive. Corresponding to the location where the sponge 3 is attached, as shown in (c), the mount 1 is provided with a notch 13 for separation. It is preferable that the size of the notch 13 for separation is slightly smaller than the size of the sponge 3.

The surface of the sponge 3 is coated with sample cosmetics 2 and 2 '. A portion corresponding to the puff is cut out to form a window 15 on the opposite surface of the mount 1, and a transparent sheet 16 is attached to the window 15.

This mount 1 is distributed as a sample in a state of being folded in half as shown in (a) and (c). (A)
The color of the cosmetic 2 to be sampled can be seen from the transparent portion 15 of the. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, two puffs 3 are lined up and different cosmetics 2 are applied to each of them, so that it is used as a sample of a combination of a plurality of colors such as blusher when actually sold. Suitable for

The embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 can also be used as a sample for foundation depending on the size of the applicator 3 and the amount of the cosmetic 2 contained in the applicator 3.

[0019]

According to the present invention, unlike the conventional sample, it is only necessary to use a paper mount without using a plastic container, the amount of cosmetics can be reduced, and the thickness of the sponge as an applicator is thinner than before. Since it can be reduced to preferably less than half, it is an extremely inexpensive sample. Therefore, the cosmetics can be distributed to a large number of consumers as a free sample, which leads to an increase in sales of cosmetics.

Further, although the sponge, which is a cosmetic applicator, is about half as thick as the conventional one, since it is integrated with the paper that becomes the mount, it has enough elasticity to be applied, and Since the cosmetic material when applied does not come out to the back of the applicator, the cosmetic material can be applied without soiling the consumer's finger.
