BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates to a lip gloss case, and more particularly, to a lip gloss case including a main body that contains cosmetics such as lip gloss and an applying tip inserted into an entry of the main body to apply the cosmetics to user&#39;s skin such as lips, wherein the applying tip is attracted by a magnetic force and is easily guided into the entry of the main body when the applying tip is inserted into the main body from the outside. 
     2. Description of the Related Art 
     In general, lips can remain beautiful only when are wet with moisture and a lip gloss is applied to lips to maintain the wet and beautiful lips. Cosmetic such as lip gloss includes an applying tip formed on a tool rod of a preset length to easily apply the lip gloss to corresponding skin, wherein the applying tip is inserted into an entry of a main body accommodating cosmetics together with the tool rod to smear the cosmetics. That is, the main body accommodating cosmetics such as lip gloss is made of glass or synthetic resin to define a preset accommodating chamber, a tool rod screwed on the entry of the main body and applying the cosmetics with a lower end thereof, and a cap including an applying tip such as sponge formed at the end of the tool rod. 
     According to this existing lip gloss case, the cap screwed on the main body is separated from the entry of the main body, cosmetics is applied to the applying tip of the tool rod provided at the lower end of the cap, the applying tip is applied to corresponding skin, that is, lips, and after that, the tool rod is inserted into the main body for the custody. 
     In this case, the entry formed in the main body has a diameter through which the applying tip passes with difficulty to minimize contact between the cosmetic in the main body and ambient air so that the cosmetics in the main body may be prevented from changing in quality. 
     However, the existing lip gloss case is difficult that a user who has a trouble in eyesight, that is, an eye handicapped person and the old inserts the applying tip into the entry of the main body again. 
     In other words, since diameters of the applying tip and the entry of the main body are not sufficient such that a user easily inserts the applying tip into the entry, the user may need high concentration to insert the applying tip after taking the applying tip out of the main body to apply the cosmetics to skin and inserting the applying tip into the entry again. 
     Thus, if a user cannot concentrate, cosmetics on the applying tip is stuck around the entry of the lip gloss case so that the cosmetics on the lip gloss case make cloth and/or other articles be contaminated. 
     Particularly, when a user suffers from tremor of the hand, it is difficult to use for a considerable time to insert the applying tip into the entry. 
     BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention has been made to overcome the above problem and provide a lip gloss case for attracting an applying tip to an entry of a main body of the lip gloss case and for guiding the applying tip into the entry when an eye handicapped person and/or the old approaches the applying tip including a tool rod to the entry of the main body of the lip gloss case in which cosmetics is accommodated. 
     In order to achieve the foregoing and/or other aspects of the present invention, there is provided a lip gloss case for guiding an applying tip using a magnetic force, including: a main body accommodating cosmetics; an applying tip inserted into an entry of the main body to apply the cosmetics to user&#39;s skin; a first magnetic material provided in the applying tip; and a second magnetic material provided on the entry of the main body and attracting the first magnetic material in the applying tip to guide the first magnetic material into the entry of the main body. 
     Here, the entry of the main body may include a slope inclined from an end to the other end. 
     Moreover, the second magnetic material may have the same shape as that of the entry of the main body and is insert-molded together with the main body. 
     In addition, the second magnetic material may be installed on the inner circumference of the entry. 
     According to the lip gloss case for guiding an applying tip to an entry of a main body using a magnetic force, an eye handicapped person and/or the old may easily insert the applying tip into the entry of the main body using an attractive force between a first magnetic material and a second magnetic material that are provided at the applying tip and the entry of the main body.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     Particular terms may be defined to describe the invention in the best manner. Accordingly, the meaning of specific terms or words used in the specification and the claims should not be limited to the literal or commonly employed sense, but should be construed in accordance with the spirit of the invention. 
     Hereinafter, the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art may easily practice the present invention. 
       FIG. 1  is a perspective view illustrating a lip gloss case according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.  FIG. 2  is a sectional view illustrating a lip gloss case according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. 
     With reference to  FIGS. 1 and 2 , a lip gloss case for guiding an applying tip to an entry of a main body using a magnetic force according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a main body  110  formed with an entry  112  through which cosmetics such as lip gloss is inserted and taken out of and a cap  120  screwed on the entry  112  to close and open the entry  112 . 
     The cap  120  is provided with a tool rod  124  of a preset length integrated with the cap  120  to allow a user to apply cosmetics such as lip gloss to a corresponding portion conveniently, wherein the tool rod  124  includes an applying tip  122  provided at an end of the tool rod  124  to apply cosmetics to lips. 
     That is, as illustrated in  FIG. 1  or  2 , the applying tip  122  is formed at the end of the tool rod  124  and includes a first magnetic material  130  provided therein. 
     Moreover, the main body  110  has an accommodating chamber to accommodate cosmetics such as lip gloss and the entry  112  through which the applying tip  122  with cosmetics enters and exits. 
     The entry  112  is formed with threads screwed with the cap  120  and female threads on the lower inner circumference of the cap  120  to be screwed with the threads of the entry  112  so that the main body  110  and the cap  120  can be screwed with each other for the custody. 
     The applying tip  122  including the tool rod  124  enters and exits through the entry of the main body  110  to apply cosmetics to lips. 
     Here, the applying tip  122  is formed with the first magnetic material  130  and the entry  112  of the main body  110  through which the applying tip  122  enters and exits is formed with a second magnetic material  140  to attract the first magnetic material  130 . 
     Thus, when the applying tip  122  approaches the entry  112  of the main body  110 , the first magnetic material  130  and the second magnetic material  140  attract each other due to the magnetic force therebetween so that the applying tip  122  may be easily inserted into the main body  110 . 
     In other words, the applying tip  122  is made of porous material smearing cosmetics such as sponge and includes the first magnetic material  130  reacting with a magnetic force such as a magnet or metal, and the entry  112  of the main body  110  through which the applying tip  122  enters and exits is provided with the second magnetic material  140  generating an attractive force of attracting the first magnetic material  130  to attract the applying tip  122  toward the entry  112  as the applying tip  122  approaches the entry  112  such that the applying tip  122  may be easily inserted into the main body  110 . 
     Here, in a case where the first magnetic material  130  in the applying tip  122  is a magnet, the second magnetic material  140  on the entry  112  of the main body  110  has a polarity different from that of the first magnetic material  130  so that an attractive force attracting the applying tip  122  toward the entry  112  of the main body  110  may be obtained. 
     In addition, if the first magnetic material  130  is metal, the second magnetic material  140  on the entry  112  of the main body  110  is made of a magnet so that the applying tip  122  approaches the entry  112  of the main body  110  by the attractive force from the second magnetic material  140  so that the applying tip  122  is attracted into the entry  112  and then is easily inserted into the main body  110 . 
     Here, preferably, as the applying tip  122  approaches the entry  112  of the main body  110 , a magnetic force may be generated between the applying tip  122  and the entry  112  only in the direction where the applying tip  122  is easily inserted into the main body  110 . 
     For example, the second magnetic material  140  on the entry  112  of the main body  110  may include a shield material (not shown) blocking the magnetic force between the outer circumference of the entry  112  and the second magnetic material  140  such that the magnetic force exhibits toward the inner circumference of the entry  112  or a wall of increased thickness between the second magnetic material  140  and the entry  112  such that the magnetic force of the second magnetic material  140  does not have influence to the outer circumference of the entry  112 . 
     Particularly, the entry  112  of the main body  110  includes a sloe  114  inclined from an end to the other end such that the applying tip  122  may be easily inserted into the entry  112  of the main body  110  when the attractive force is generated by the first magnetic material  130  in the applying tip  122  and the second magnetic material  140  on the entry  112 . 
     By doing so, when the applying tip  122  approaches the entry  112  of the main body  110  and is positioned on the upper end of the entry  112 , the applying tip  122  is guided along the slope  114  on the upper end of the entry  112  so that the applying tip  122  may be easily inserted into the main body  110 . 
     According to the lip gloss case using a magnetic force according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, thanks to the attractive force generated between the first magnetic material  130  in the applying tip  122  and the second magnetic material  140  on the entry  112  of the main body  110 , an eye handicapped person or the old who suffers from tremor of the hand may easily insert the applying tip  122  into the main body  110  through the entry  112  of the main body  110 . 
     While this invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the invention to those skilled in the art. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. 
     For example, the second magnetic material  140  on the entry  112  of the main body  110 , as illustrated in  FIG. 3  or  FIG. 4 , has the same shape as that of the entry  112  of the main body  110  so that various aesthetical appearing outlets of the lip gloss case may be provided to a user, that more convenient injection mold may improve productivity, or that the second magnetic material  140  is provided on the outer circumference instead of on the entry  112  of the main body  110  such that the magnetic force generated from the second magnetic material  140  exerts toward the inner circumference of the entry  112 . This will be described with reference to  FIGS. 3 and 4 . 
       FIG. 3  is a sectional view illustrating a lip gloss case according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to  FIG. 3 , a lip gloss case according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a main body  110  provided with a second magnetic material  140  made of metal or a magnet having the same shape as that of the entry of the main body  110 . The second magnetic material  140  is inserted into a mold of an injection molding machine (not shown) for injecting the main body and the main body except the entry is inject-molded. 
     The upper end of the second magnetic material  140  having the same shape as that of the entry includes a slope  142  inclined from an end to the other end such that the applying tip  122  may be easily inserted into the main body when the applying tip  122  approaches the entry  112  of the main body  110  and is positioned on the upper end of the second magnetic material  140 . 
     By insert-molding the second magnetic material  140  having the same shape as that of the entry together with the main body  110 , the first magnetic material  130  in the applying tip  122  approaches the second magnetic material  140  having the same shape as that of the entry and is easily inserted into the main body by the attractive force generated between the first magnetic material  130  and the second magnetic material  140 . Since the second magnetic material  140  having the same shape as that of the entry can be changed and modified in various designs, the aesthetical appearing outlet may be provided to a user and the injection mold is improved more conveniently resulting in increasing productivity. 
       FIG. 4  is a sectional view illustrating a lip gloss case according to still another exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to  FIG. 4 , a lip gloss case according to still another exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a second magnetic material  140  provided on the inner circumference of the entry  112  of the main body  110 . 
     By doing so, since a wall between the second magnetic material  140  and the outer circumference of the entry  112  may be thicker, the magnetic force generated from the second magnetic material  140  does not exert the outer circumference of the entry  112  while the magnetic force generated from the second magnetic material  140  may exert toward the inner circumference of the entry  112 , so that the applying tip  122  may be securely guided into the inner circumference of the entry  112  and that the applying tip  122  may be inserted into the main body  110  conveniently.
