Claim 15:
16. A disposable cosmetic pencil device comprising:
a cylindrical pencil body including:
a cylindrical exterior casing; and
an interior pigment core comprising a cosmetic pigment composition surrounded by the exterior casing;
wherein the cylindrical pencil body includes a first end at which the pigment core is exposed, and a second opposite end; and

a disposable cap that is selectively positionable so as to cover the first end of the body, the disposable cap including:
a proximal end body portion having an opening;
an opposite distal body portion having a storage cavity;
a built-in sharpener fixed between a distal end of the proximal end body portion and a proximal end of the opposite distal body portion; and
a biasing member coupled to a sidewall of the proximal end body portion configured to switch the disposable cap between a capping position and a sharpening position,
wherein additional pressure is required to push the disposable pencil cap from the capping position to the sharpening position, and
wherein upon release of the additional pressure, the disposable pencil cap automatically returns to the capping position from the sharpening position;
wherein the opening of the proximal end body portion communicates with the storage cavity of the opposite distal body portion,
wherein the opening of the proximal end body portion is aligned with an inlet of the built-in sharpener, and the storage cavity of the opposite distal body portion is aligned with an outlet of the built-in sharpener for receiving shavings shaved from the cylindrical pencil body during sharpening, such that shavings generated by the built-in sharpener are received through the opening, and into the storage cavity, for permanent storage of the shavings, and disposal with the disposable cap, and
wherein emptying of shavings within the storage cavity is not possible as the storage cavity is sealed for permanent storage of the shavings, preventing any exit thereof, the storage cavity being sized to hold all shavings produced by the device throughout a lifespan of the cylindrical pencil body, after which any remaining portion of the disposable cosmetic pencil device and disposable cap are disposed of, with the shavings sealed in the storage cavity;
wherein:
(i) when the disposable cap is in the capping position, the first end of the cylindrical pencil body is covered by the cap, but the biasing member prevents the first end of the cylindrical pencil body from being received within the built-in sharpener of the cap, so that sharpening of the first end of the cylindrical pencil body is not possible in the capping position; and
(ii) when the disposable cap is in the sharpening position, the biasing member allows the first end of the cylindrical pencil body to be received within the built-in sharpener of the cap, allowing a user to sharpen the first end of the cylindrical pencil body to a point.
