     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
       [0019]    Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals provided in the drawings indicate the same members. 
         [0020]      FIG. 1  is an exploded perspective view illustrating a configuration of a lipstick container according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.  FIG. 2  a cross-sectional view illustrating a configuration of a lipstick container according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. 
         [0021]      FIG. 3  is a view illustrating an state where a first magnet is coupled to a rotation body of a lipstick container according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.  FIG. 4  is a view illustrating a state where a second magnet is coupled to a lipstick holder of a lipstick container according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. 
         [0022]    Referring to  FIGS. 1 to 4 , a lipstick container according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention comprises: a rotation body  100  which is disposed at a lower portion of a lipstick holder  300  and ascends/descends the lipstick holder  300  by rotation; a guide tube  400  wherein a spiral groove  410  is formed such that a guide protrusion  310  of the lipstick holder  300  can be guided; a rotation tube  200  which is disposed at an interior of the guide tube  400  and equips a vertical guide groove  210  where a guide protrusion  310  of the lipstick holder  300  is guided vertically in a upward and downward direction; a lipstick holder  300 , where a lipstick (L) is mounted, including a guide protrusion  310  disposed at the vertical guide groove  210  of the rotation tube  200  and the spiral groove  410  of the guide tube  400 ; a lipstick receiving tube  500 , coupled encasing the guide tube  400 , where the lipstick (L) is inserted and withdrawn when a user rotates the rotation body  100  while gripping; and over cap  600  which encases the lipstick receiving tube  500  and is coupled detachably to the rotation body  100 . The structure combinating the rotation body  100 , the rotation tube  200 , the lipstick holder  300 , the guide tube  400 , the lipstick receiving tube  500  and the over cap  600  is a prior art which the present invention belongs to; therefore, detailed description will be omitted. Hereafter, the structure that the lipstick holder  300  descends according to a rotation of the rotation body  100  will be described. 
         [0023]    In the present invention, it is characterized that a first magnet  120  is provided at an inner side surface of the rotation body  100  such that the lipstick holder  300  can be lowered by a magnetic force, and a first insertion groove  110 , where a first magnet  120  is inserted, is formed therein such that the first magnet  120  is able to be fixed firmly. 
         [0024]    The first magnet  120  lowers a lipstick holder  300  by an attraction force with a second magnet  330  which is formed at a lower portion of the lipstick holder  300  in a process when a guide protrusion  310  of the lipstick holder  300  descends along a vertical guide groove  210  and a spiral groove  410  by rotation of the rotation body. An attraction force between the first magnet  120  and the second magnet  330  does not act due to the separated distance thereof when the lipstick holder is placed at a top dead point, and then the lipstick holder  300  descends by a magnetic force from the moment the attraction force between the first magnet  120  and the second magnet  330  acts after the lipstick holder  300  descends to the predetermined distance by rotation of the rotation body  100 . Due to this, only until the moment when the attraction force between the first magnet  120  and the second magnet  330 , when rotating the rotation body  100 , the rotation body  100  rotates automatically and thereby the lipstick holder  300  descends as the second magnet  330  moves to a direction of the first magnet  120  by a magnetic force. Therefore, a user does not need to keep rotating the rotation body  100  in order to lower the lipstick holder  300  to the end, which brings user convenience. 
         [0025]    Meanwhile, the lipstick holder  300 , which is coupled with a lipstick (L) and supports the lipstick (L), comprises a pair of guide protrusions  310  at both of an outer circumferential surface thereof which moves along a vertical groove  210  of a rotation tube  200  and a spiral groove  410  of a guide tube  400 . The present invention has a feature in that a second magnet  330  is installed at a lower portion of the lipstick holder  300  and is possible to descend by a magnetic force. A second insertion groove  320  where the second magnet  330  is inserted is formed therein such that the second magnet  330  can be fixed firmly. 
         [0026]    The second magnet  330  rotates the rotation body  100  and lowers the lipstick holder  300  by an attraction force with the first magnet  120  inserted to a first insertion groove  110  of the rotation body  100  while a guide protrusion  310  of the lipstick holder  300  is descending along a vertical guide groove  210  and a spiral groove  410 . 
         [0027]    Meanwhile, in the above, it was described that a first magnet  120  and a second magnet  330  are inserted respectively into a first insertion groove  110  and a second insertion groove  320 , and thereby a lipstick holder  300  descends by an attraction force between the first magnet  120  and the second magnet  330 . However, it is also possible that a magnet is inserted into one of either the first insertion groove  110  or the second insertion groove  320  and a metal is inserted into the other to rotate a rotation body  100 , such that the lipstick holder  300  can be lowered by a magnetic force from the moment when an magnetic force starts to act to the metal while the lipstick holder  300  is descending. 
         [0028]    Hereinafter, referring  FIGS. 5 to 7 , an operational process of a lipstick container according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be explained. 
         [0029]    Referring to  FIGS. 5 to 7 , firstly, when a rotation body  100  is rotated to one side direction while a lipstick receiving tube  500  is gripped with one hand, a guide protrusion  310  ascends along a vertical guide groove  210  and a spiral groove  410 , and due to this, the lipstick (L) is exposed to the outside and will be ready to be used. At this moment, a first magnet  120  and a second magnet  330  stay separated each other. 
         [0030]    Next, when the rotation body  100  is rotated to the other side direction, the guide protrusion  310  of the lipstick holder  300  descends along the vertical guide groove  210  and the spiral groove  410 . Due to this, the lipstick (L) gets inserted to the interior of the lipstick receiving tube  500 . When the lipstick holder  300  descends in a predetermined distance while descending, an attraction force arises between the first magnet  120  and the second magnet  330  as the distance between the first magnet  120  and the second magnet  330  gets narrower, and thereby the lipstick holder  300  gets to descend by a magnetic force of the first magnet  120  and the second magnetic force  330 . 
         [0031]    In the present invention, without keeping rotating the rotation body  100  in order to lowering the lipstick holder  300  to the end, if the rotation body  100  is rotated only until the point when the attraction force between the first magnet  120  and the second magnet  330  acts, the lipstick holder  300  descends automatically by a magnetic force of the first magnet  120  and the second magnet  330 . Therefore, a user can easily insert the lipstick (L) into the lipstick receiving tube  500 . In addition, it is possible to fundamentally prevent a breakage e.g. crush of the lipstick (L) which may be caused by coupling an over cap  600  to the rotation body  100  without descending the lipstick holder  300  to the end.
