FIG. 1 is a longitudinal cross-section of the container; and
FIG. 2 is a cross-section on the line A-A of FIG. 1.

Part 1 has an externally threaded boss 12 at one end, which boss 12 releasably engages within an internally threaded recess at one end of part 2. At the opposite end of part 2, an externally threaded boss (not numbered) releasably engages within an internally threaded recess at one end of part 3. The opposite end of part 3 is closed. A cover 4 is pivotally mounted to the opposite end of part 1 to seal the interior of part 1.
The interior of part 1 is divided into a plurality of separate longitudinally extending compartments 5 to 11, each of which compartments contains a cosmetic, means for applying the cosmetic or means for aiding in the application of the cosmetic. For example, the central compartment 5 contains a mirror 17 and the remaining compartments contain cosmetic pencils or eyeshadow sticks. An eyelash stretcher 13 is attached to the boss 12 of part 1, which eyelash stretcher 13, as shown, extends into the interior of part 2.
