Abstract
A cosmetic case having an opening which is covered by a hinged pivotable lid which can pivot from a position where the case opening is exposed, to a position where the lid completely covers the opening and provides a sealed enclosure for cosmetics. A two part latching apparatus attached to the lid and case automatically latches the two together whenever the lid is closed. This two part latching apparatus utilizes complementary latching members which mate with and automatically engage each other.
