A removable cap  38  is removably attached at a second end of the shaft of antenna  22  opposite the housing  16 . Upon removing the cap  38  from the antenna  22 , the cosmetic applicator  36  can be selectively removed for use in application of any of the cosmetics retained in the cosmetics layer  14 . The removable cap  38  is shaped so as to avoid contact with the applicator portion of the cosmetic applicator  36 . The removable cap  38  is attached to the shaft of the antenna  22  so that upon removal thereof, the hands of the user will not contact the applicator tip. Furthermore, the user, upon removing the applicator brush  36  from the antenna housing  22 , will not contact the user&#39;s hand. This prevents transferring hand bacteria to the cosmetic applicator  36  and ensures sanitary use thereof. 
     FIG. 10  is an enlarged view of the antenna  22  of the cellular cosmetics device  10  of the present invention. Extending outward from the cellular phone housing  16  where the output portion  46  and the input portion  48  are hinged  24  is an antenna  22  for use with the cellular phone mode. The antenna  22  also acts as a housing, shown in  FIG. 9 , for the cosmetic applicator  36 . The shaft of the antenna  22  is attached at one end to the cellular phone housing  16 . The second end of the shaft of antenna  22  is attached to a removable cap  38  to allow for selectively storing and removing the cosmetic applicator  36 . The removable cap  38  is shaped so as to avoid contact with the applicator portion of the cosmetic applicator  36 . The removable cap  38  is attached to the shaft of the antenna  22  in a way that when removed, the cosmetic applicator  36  can be removed without soiling the hands and without transferring hand bacteria to the cosmetic applicator  36 . 
   It will be understood that the flip top cellular phone housing  16  is the embodiment described in  FIGS. 1–10 . However, the cellular cosmetics device of the present invention is not limited to the flip top cellular phone housing  16  and alternate embodiments, such as any cellular phone or any portable communication device, including but not limited to the wireless email solution with integrated phone that is sold under the tradename Blackberry™, can be used. 
   While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claims, it is not intended to be limited to the details above, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention. 
   Without further analysis, the foregoing will so fully reveal the gist of the present invention that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily adapt it for various applications without omitting features that, from the standpoint of prior art, fairly constitute essential characteristics of the generic or specific aspects of this invention.
