A transparent or partially transparent container is described with a convex portion on one side wall and an image adhering to an opposite and spaced apart second side wall which appears magnified as viewed through the convex opening. The magnified image improves the aesthetics of the packaging.

Clear container with magnifying feature

Container with hinged lid

A container for dispensing two products kept separate prior to application, for example, surfactant and skin benefit agent. The container comprising two chambers, adhered to each other. Although the chambers are essentially identical when viewed from their respective distal walls, they are adhered to each other at an offset so that from any view, both chambers can be seen. Preferably, the chambers include in their proximal walls complementary raised and recessed portions, e.g., protuberances and depressions, which assist the alignment of the chambers in an offset. A closure preferably comprises a peripheral flange and a wall extending transversely of the flange and including at least two product egress openings. Product egress channels on the underside of the transverse wall may lead to the product egress openings. Preferably attached to the closure base, for example by a hinge, is a closure cover. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, both the closure base transverse wall and the closure cover include one or more drainage openings. The drainage openings are not in communication with the product exit openings of the chambers, but instead serve to permit drainage of any liquid which may otherwise be present in the closure, given that the closure will receive the exteriors of the chambers, but not in a liquid tight arrangement.
