Referring to Figures 1-6, it can be seen that an illuminated and energy saving cosmetic container according to the invention comprises the following elements, as discussed in detail below.

A mirror 80 is disposed on an opening of a surface of a parallelepipedal container 10. The container 10 comprises an internal space 101, a cover 11 removably mounted on a front, bossed opening of the container 10, an axial projection hollow 12 formed on the cover 11 and having an axial passage 121 communicating with the space 101, and external threads 122. A parallelepipedal cover 20 comprises an interior space 201. A support 30 comprises an axial passage 301, internal threads 302 on a part of an inner surface of the passage 301 for screw fixing to the external threads 122, thus locking the support 30, and a removable inner conductor 31 adjacent to the internal threads 302. The support 30 is disposed in the space 201. lighting assembly 40 is disposed between the conductor 31 and a front opening of the support 30 and comprises a brightness sensor 41, a lamp 42 electrically connected to the brightness sensor 41, a positive electrode 43 at one end proximal to the brightness sensor 41 and the lamp 42, and a negative electrode 44 at the other end distal to the brightness sensor 41 and the lamp 42. A stick of cosmetic product 50 comprises a removable applicator (for example, a sponge head or a lip brush) 51 at one end, and a fastener 52 at the other end and having a pushing member 521. fixation 52 is disposed in the passage 301. The container 10 further comprises an elastic sealing ring 15 comprising a hole 151 by which it is placed on a rear portion of the cosmetic product stick 50 adjacent to the fastening element. 52, and a recess 152 to allow a portion of the sealing ring 15 to be resiliently disposed therein in response to compression of the sealing ring 15. A compression spring ion 60 has one end bearing against an opening of the passage 301 for electrical connection to the negative electrode 44, and the other end pushing against a negative electrode of one of the two batteries 70 connected in series. The positive electrode of the other battery 70 is spaced from the conductor 31 which is electrically connected to the positive electrode 43. The container 10 further comprises a closure element 13 comprising an axial hole 131 communicating with the space 101, and an annular flange 132 at one end, the flange being disposed at an opening of the passage 121 to push against the sealing ring 15.

Preferably, the lamp 42 is a light emitting diode (LED).

Preferably, the brightness sensor 41 is a photoresist.

As shown particularly in Figures 2 and 4 to 6, during a makeup operation, an individual can unscrew the lid 11 to unlock the holder 30, and remove the lid 11 of the container 10 to expose the cosmetic product stick 50. Next the individual can move the closure member 13 forwardly along the cosmetic product stick 50 to remove the excess cosmetic lotion adhered to the cosmetic product stick 50 and the applicator 51. The compression 60, which was compressed, then releases its elastic force to push the batteries 70 outward until the positive electrode of the other battery 70 comes into contact with the conductor 31. Electricity batteries 70 is then supplied to the positive electrode 43.

Then, the electricity is supplied to the lamp 42 via the negative electrode 44. As a result, the lamp 42 emits light. At the same time, the brightness sensor 41 detects the intensity of the ambient light. The resistance of the brightness sensor 41 decreases if the intensity of the ambient light is high, and, in return, the electricity supplied to the lamp 42 decreases to lower the intensity of the light output of the lamp 42 (FIG. that is, the lamp 42 is attenuated) or even turn off the lamp 42 if the intensity of the ambient light is greater than a predetermined value. On the contrary, the resistance of the brightness sensor 41 increases if the intensity of the ambient light is low, and, in return, the electricity supplied to the lamp 42 increases to increase the intensity of the light output of the lamp 42 (i.e., the lamp 42 is sufficiently illuminated). Once the application is complete, the individual can secure the cover 11 to the support 30 by screwing the external threads 122 and internal threads 302 to each other. In this position, the cosmetic product stick 50 comprising the applicator 51 is disposed in the space 101, the sealing ring 15 pushes against the flange 132 of the closure element 13, and the pushing element 521 the fastener 52 pushes against an annular edge of one end of the other stack 70 to push the cells 70 inward and compress the compression spring 60. Thus, the cells 70 are spaced from the conductor 31, that is, no electricity is supplied by the cells 70 to the positive electrode 43. As a result, the illumination assembly 40 is turned off and the lamp 42 is turned off. The invention has the following features and advantages: An individual does not need to use a mirror and a flashlight to apply makeup when using the illuminated and energy saving cosmetic container. The brightness of the lamp can be lowered or the lamp can even be turned off when the ambient light is bright, so that battery power can be saved to prolong use. Frequent battery replacement is eliminated due to energy saving. The closure member can prevent the use of too much lotion by friction of the applicator and prevent leakage from occurring.

Although the invention has been described in terms of preferred embodiments, modifications may be made by those skilled in the art while remaining within the scope of the present invention.
