It is preferred that the cross-sectional area of the first surface or end  17 , and the second surface or end  27 , are similar to each other, but that both the cross-sectional area of the first end surface  17 , and the second end surface  27 , are larger than the cross-sectional area created by the engaging wall  106 . Thus, for example, when a first cosmetic accessory or container  10 , is axially inserted into the first opening  11 , at a first end  17 , of the lock-in cosmetic accessory sleeve  105 , or axially into the second opening  21 , at the second end  27 , of the lock-in cosmetic accessory sleeve  105 , the inserted end of the container  10 , is then engageably, and securely held by the surface of the constriction or area or engaging wall or the leaf spring  106 . It should be appreciated that similar results for the releaseable engagement would also be obtained for the second cosmetic accessory or container  20 , that may be inserted from the opposite or the second open end. For some embodiments the lock-in cosmetic accessory sleeve  105 , could comprise of a hollow tube  105 , and having a constriction or narrow area or leaf spring  106 , between the first open end  17 , and the second open end  27 . It should be understood that the leaf spring  106 , can be easily inserted into the lock-in cosmetic accessory sleeve  105 , or it could be secured to the inner walls of the lock-in cosmetic accessory sleeve  105 , such as, during the manufacturing of the lock-in cosmetic accessory sleeve  105 . Furthermore, the leaf spring  106 , could also be a stand-alone item that is flanged by end pieces  104 , at each axial end. Thus, each piece could be made separately and then mated or joined together to create the inventive lock-in cosmetic accessory sleeve  105 , having a constriction or narrow flexing region that is created by the spring-like properties of a leaf spring  106 . 
       FIG. 11  illustrates a side-view of an eleventh embodiment of a lock-in cosmetic accessory sleeve invention where a lock-in cosmetic accessory sleeve  115 , comprises at least one engaging wall or area or constriction or leaf spring  116 . The engaging wall or leaf spring  116 , is shaped such that it has a first cross-sectional area at a first location  112 , and second cross-sectional area at a second location  114 , such that the first cross-sectional area  112 , is different than the second cross-sectional area  114 . It is preferred that the first cross-sectional area  112 , is smaller than the second cross-sectional area  114 , or in other words it is narrower at an inner location  112 , and wider or broader at an outer location  114 ,  17 ,  27 . It is preferred that the cross-sectional area of the first surface or end  17 , and the second surface or end  27 , are similar to each other, but that both the cross-sectional area of the first end surface  17 , and the second end surface  27 , are larger than the cross-sectional area created by the engaging wall or constriction or leaf spring  116 . Thus, for example, when a first cosmetic accessory or container  10 , is inserted into the first opening  11 , at a first end  17 , of the lock-in cosmetic accessory sleeve  115 , or into the second opening  21 , at the second end  27 , of the lock-in cosmetic accessory sleeve  115 , the inserted end of the container  10 , is then engageably, and securely held by the surface of the constriction or area or engaging wall or leaf spring  116 . It should be appreciated that similar results for the releaseable engagement would also be obtained for the second cosmetic accessory or container  20 , that may be inserted from the opposite or the second open end. For some embodiments the lock-in cosmetic accessory sleeve  115 , could comprise of a hollow tube  115 , and having a constriction or narrow area  116 , between the first open end  17 , and the second open end  27 . Furthermore, the leaf spring  116 , could also be a stand-alone item that is flanged by end pieces  114 , at each axial end. Thus, each piece could be made separately and then mated or joined together to create the inventive lock-in cosmetic accessory sleeve  115 , having a constriction or narrow flexing region that is created by the spring-like properties of a leaf spring  116 . However, for some applications the lock-in cosmetic accessory sleeve  105 ,  115 , could also have at least one full or partial vertical fixed wall  118 . It is preferred that the wall  118 , is in the first cross-sectional area  112 , or constriction area  112 . The full or partial vertical fixed wall  118 , would prevent the complete passage or passing through of the container, such as, the first cosmetic accessory  10 , and/or the second cosmetic accessory  20 , through the opening or area or hole created by the inner walls of the constriction  106 , or  116 .
