A cosmetic carrier for a cosmetic container is designed so that the carrier may be top-filled or bottom-filled. The cosmetic carrier includes a cosmetic receiving cup defined by sidewalls and a base. The base of the cosmetic carrier includes a plurality of displaceable members which may be displaced upward permitting the cosmetic carrier to be bottom-filled but wherein downward displacement of the members is limited to permit the cosmetic carrier to be top-filled. A stop associated with the base limits downward movement and a hinge line on the upper surface of the base permits upward displacement of the displaceable members of the base.

Top-fill/bottom-fill cosmetic carrier for a lipstick container

Lipstick container with transparent dust protector

A sealed lipstick dispenser assembly has a base, a sleeve mounted within the base containing a lipstick pomade, and a cover mounted over the base and receiving a portion of the sleeve and pomade within a hollow interior. A bellows-like sealing member defines a sealing surface on one end, and a plurality of infolded or pleated portions to permit axial extension and retraction of the sealing surface. The sealing member is mounted on the base of the cover within the hollow interior, with the sealing surface on its free end. Upon closure of the cover on the base, the sealing surface is pressed into engagement with a lip of the sleeve due to the resilient nature of the infolded portions of the sealing member to form a fluid-tight seal, and thereby seal the lipstick pomade within the sleeve.
