The following includes information that may be useful in understanding the present disclosure. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art nor material to the presently described or claimed inventions, nor that any publication or document that is specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
The present invention relates generally to the field of cosmetics and more specifically relates to a cosmetic kit for naturally contouring and highlighting a user.
Contouring different areas of the face and body with makeup has become extremely popular with consumers. People will spend hours each week and hundreds of dollars on beauty products to achieve a contoured look. Having to constantly visit a tanning salon, beauty parlor, or other business to achieve these looks can become incredibly time-consuming and expensive. People with busy lifestyles may be unable to obtain a desired look and feel disappointed with how he/she looks while on summer vacation, bodybuilding, and the like. An effective solution is desired.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,409,997 to Mauricio Castro relates to a wax cosmetic stick. The described wax cosmetic stick includes a cosmetic stick composition comprising (a) a skin care agent and (b) a solid wax, wherein the composition comprises less than 1%, by weight, of oil, and methods of using such composition.
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known cosmetics art, the present disclosure provides a novel cosmetic kit system. The general purpose of the present disclosure, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide users with a three-step system for highlighting and contouring different areas of the face and body. the system is for strategic tanning in which one uses tanning bronzers/tan intensifiers/tanning developer and SPF to be used together or on their own with the intentions of getting lasting highlight and/or contour on the face and/or body.
A cosmetic system is disclosed herein. The cosmetic system includes a first-applicator which may have a first-composition therein and a first applicator-end. The first applicator-end may be configured to apply the first-composition to at least one first-area on at least one body-part of a user. The first-composition may include at least one sunscreen-agent. Similarly, a second-applicator may have a second-composition therein and a second applicator-end. The second applicator-end may be configured to apply the second-composition to at least one second-area on the at least one body-part of the user and the second-composition may include at least one skin-darkening agent.
A method of using cosmetic system is also disclosed herein. The method of using cosmetic system may comprise the steps of: providing the cosmetic system; applying the first-composition to the at least one first-area on the at least one body-part of the user; and applying the second-composition to the at least one second-area on the at least one body-part of the user.
For purposes of summarizing the invention, certain aspects, advantages, and novel features of the invention have been described herein. It is to be understood that not necessarily all such advantages may be achieved in accordance with any one particular embodiment of the invention. Thus, the invention may be embodied or carried out in a manner that achieves or optimizes one advantage or group of advantages as taught herein without necessarily achieving other advantages as may be taught or suggested herein. The features of the invention which are believed to be novel are particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of the specification. These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings and detailed description.
The figures which accompany the written portion of this specification illustrate embodiments and methods of use for the present disclosure, a cosmetic kit system, constructed and operative according to the teachings of the present disclosure.
The various embodiments of the present invention will hereinafter be described in conjunction with the appended drawings, wherein like designations denote like elements.
As discussed above, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to cosmetics and more particularly to a cosmetic kit system as used to improve the cosmetic kit for naturally contouring and highlighting a user.
Generally, disclosed is a system which may utilize SPF and bronzers/tan intensifiers/tanning developer on the higher and lower regions of the face and body to simulate the look of higher cheek bones, sharp jaw bones, tighter abs, and much more. This may allow users to obtain a natural highlight and contour look without the need for makeup. As designed, it functions as a preparation tool for summer activities, bodybuilding competitions, vacations, and more. The present invention eliminates the need to visit expensive tanning salons and skincare centers in order to obtain a contoured and highlighted look to different areas of the body.
The system may include a set of products used to add natural and lasting highlights and contours to different areas of the face and body. The products may be provided in a tube, roller, stick, other applicator. A first applicator may include a low concentration of SPF to be used on higher points of the face, protecting sensitive skin around the eyes and to build a natural highlight. A second applicator may include a higher concentration of SPF to highlight the center of each previously treated area, providing a more concentrated highlight. A third applicator may be a tan-enhancing component that can be added to areas a user would like contoured. All three products may allow for highlighting and contouring without the need for makeup or expensive salon visits.
The third applicator may include self-tanning chemicals such as but not limited to DHA and/or erythrulose to be used on the portions of the face and/or body on which one wants to achieve a lasting contoured effect. The first and second applicator may include physical/mineral, chemical or broad-spectrum sun screen protection to be used on the portions of the face and/or body on which one wants to achieve a lasting highlighted effect. The products may be provided in various viscosities, formulas, applicators and sizes. Further, the system may include a blending tool such as a brush, sponge etc.
Referring now more specifically to the drawings by numerals of reference, there is shown in
According to one embodiment, the cosmetic system 100 may be arranged as a kit 105. The kit 105 may include set of user instructions 107. The instructions 107 may detail functional relationships in relation to the structure of the cosmetic system 100 (such that the cosmetic system 100 can be used, maintained, or the like, in a preferred manner).
In one embodiment, the at least one sunscreen-agent 116 may comprise physical sunscreen 111. Examples of physical sunscreen 111 contemplated may include titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, etc. In another embodiment, the at least one sunscreen-agent 116 may comprise chemical sunscreen 113. Examples of chemical sunscreen 113 contemplated may include organic compounds, such as oxybenzone, octinoxate, octisalate, avobenzone, etc. The at least one sunscreen-agent 116 may comprise sun protection factor (SPF) configured to block UVB rays. In one embodiment, the SPF may be between 35-50; between 15-30; or between 55-80. However, it should be appreciated that the SPF ranges listed are not exhaustive.
In one embodiment, the at least one skin-darkening agent 126 may be a temporary bronzer. In this embodiment, the temporary bronzer 121 may comprise at least one tint-ingredient 123 configured to temporarily stain the at least one second-area 15 on the at least one body-part of the user. The at least one skin-darkening agent 126 may comprise at least one self-tanning ingredient 125. In one embodiment, the at least one self-tanning ingredient 125 may comprise dihydroxyacetone 127. In another embodiment, the at least one self-tanning ingredient 125 may comprise erythrulose 128. The dihydroxyacetone 127 and the erythrulose 128 may be configured to cause a chemical reaction with amino acids located on skin surface of the user to provide a darker appearance to the at least one second-area 15 on the at least one body-part of the user.
It should be noted that the steps described in the method of use can be carried out in many different orders according to user preference.
