Abstract
Containers for cosmetics such as lipstick, with refill cartridges that must be used with the whole container, avoid problems such as separation during normal use. The refill cartridge comprises a cosmetic holder including: a tubular innerbody, a tubular cam sleeve surrounding substantially the entire length of the innerbody; and an elevator cup within the innerbody. The extension of the cam sleeve over the innerbody, inhibits the relative movement of these two elements, unless a base member configured to fit between them and impart relative torque is in place. A retaining means is provided to hold the refill and the base member together.
