The outer cylinder 2 is provided so as to prevent the plurality of molds 1 from affecting respective temperatures of fillings of one another.

A dispensing container with a cutter, in which a storage part can be used as a refill. A dispensing container 100 with a cutter 54 includes a storage part 1 , a helical tube 2 , a rotating lid 5 , and a movable plate 3 . The storage part 1 has a tubular shape with an opening at a top and is configured to contain a solid material. The helical tube 2 has a helical groove on an outer peripheral surface thereof, and is configured to be attached to a bottom surface of the storage part. The rotating lid 5 is disposed to be horizontally rotatable and includes a top plate 51 and a peripheral wall 52 that is a side surface. The top plate 51 is provided with the cutter 54 on an underside thereof and has an outlet 53 . The cutter 54 is configured to cut the solid material into a thin piece, and the outlet 53 is configured to discharge the cut thin piece of the solid material. The movable plate 3 has a hole into which the helical tube is fitted, and is configured to be raised within the storage part in conjunction with rotation of the rotating lid. The top plate 51 of the rotating lid has a fitting projection 55 that extends downward to be inserted into an upper end of the helical tube 2 so as to cause the helical tube 2 to rotate together with the rotating lid.

Second connecting member 5 includes: inner-circumference rotation restricting part 57 contacting part of inner container 1 's mouth part 14 to restrict rotation relative to mouth part; and outer-circumference rotation restricting part 52 contacting part of outer container 2 's side wall to restrict rotation relative to outer container 2 . When assembled, inner container is restricted from rotation relative to outer container 2.

A double-walled container comprises an outer container that is a bottomed, cylindrical container made of a material with high rigidity, and whose cylindrical body has a horizontal cross-sectional shape with an inner perimeter surface thereof being circular; and an inner container that is a bottomed, cylindrical container, and whose cylindrical body has a horizontal cross-sectional shape with an outer perimeter surface thereof being a non-circular shape, a radius of a circle circumscribed around the non-circular shape being greater than a radius of the inner perimeter surface of the outer container, and the inner container being elastically deformed so as to have portions thereof snugly fit in the inner perimeter surface of the outer container when placed inside the outer container such that respective cylindrical axes are parallel to each other.

To provide a refill insert that makes it possible to easily replace a molded cosmetic, such as lipstick, that is housed in a container body. A refill insert 1 that is characterized in that an engagement piece 2 that can elastically deform toward the inside is provided to an outer side surface of an insert that holds a lower end of a molded cosmetic 5 and in that a first engagement protrusion 3 and a second engagement protrusion 4 are provided to an outer side surface of the engagement piece at different heights.

A method for preparing a cosmetic kit provides cosmetics which are customized (personalized) for each user and a cosmetic provision device which uses the kit to supply customized cosmetics. The cosmetic kit includes a plurality of cosmetic bases, and is used for customized cosmetics which are prepared by mixing the plurality of cosmetic bases in accordance with recipe information determined on the basis of user unique information. The method provides a cosmetic kit with a container containing at least two cosmetic bases selected from the plurality of cosmetic bases that is rotated at a prescribed speed, and a new-infrared measurement of the bases in the container is performed at prescribed time intervals, the time (T)required to obtain an nth measurement, in which the rate of change between the absorbance in the nth measurement and the absorbance in the previous ((n−1)th)measurement is 100%±5%, and the rate of change with respect to the absorbance in the following ((n+1)th) measurement is 100%±5%, is not more than 35 minutes.

According to the present disclosure, makeup is put on based on the characteristics of the face of the person who is having the makeup put on. A control part and an application part are provided, where the control part includes: an area determining part configured to determine an area to apply a cosmetic product, based on a selected application pattern and at least two application characteristic points on a face; and a command part configured to command an application device to apply the cosmetic product to the area, and where the application part applies the cosmetic product to the area as commanded by the control part.

Provided is an ejection cap capable of smoothly and reliably breaking through a film closing a mouth part of a container body and ejecting a content inside a container.
