DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
A first embodiment of a decorative cosmetic case in the present invention, as shown in
FIGS. 1
, includes one or more cosmetic cases
20
, and a decorative
10
(for example, a ring illustrated in Figures) worn on a finger of a user.
The decorative

201
formed in a bottom so as to let it adjustable in worn on a finger of a user, having a flat base
102
formed on top and having the same shape as the cosmetic case
20
.
The cosmetic case
20
is made of transparent material, having an opening
201
formed in an intermediate portion of a circumferential wall
203
, a -shaped cavity
208
defined by the circumferential wall, a pivot hole
202
respectively in an upper wall and a lower wall near one end of the opening
201
, a cosmetic plate
21
having the same shape of the cosmetic case
20
and a center recess
211
for receiving a cosmetic
212
such as lipstick, eye shadow, or a pressed powder therein and able to be swung in and out of the cavity

202
. The cosmetic plate
21
further has a V-shaped push projection
214
formed on an outer surface of the circumferential wall to protrude out of the cavity
208
, and another V-shaped projection
215
formed near the push projection
214
.
The cosmetic plate
21
is pushed through the opening
201
and inserted in the cavity

of the cosmetic case
20
normally, with the pivots
213
inserted in the pivot holes
202
and functioning to let the cosmetic plate
21
swing out of and in the cavity
208
. If the cosmetic plate
21
is pushed at the push projection
214
with the pivots
213
, it swings out of the cavity to let the cosmetic
212
exposed as shown in
FIG. 4
for the user to use it. On the contrary, if the cosmetic plate
21
is pushed at the push projection
214
to swing in the cavity
208
, the end of the circumferential wall
203
stops the V-shaped projection
215
of the cosmetic plate
21
as shown in
FIG. 2
, with the push projection
214
exposed out. The bottom of the cosmetic case
20
has a recess
204
for the base
102
of the decorative to fit tightly therein and a circumferential projecting-up edge

20
containing lipstick, eye shadow or a pressed powder to be assembled with the decorative
10
according to the user's need to be carried out. If two or more cosmetic cases
20
are needed, they can be assembled together by means of the projecting edge
205
engaging the recess
204
as shown in
FIGS. 3
or
5
. Thus two or more different cosmetics may be carried out for use. It is convenient to carry, as the decorative
10
