Claim:
A cosmetic compact including: a base defining an inside surface and at least one receptacle for storing a cosmetic item extending from the inside surface into the base; and a lid coupled with the base in a manner allowing the lid to rotate relative to the base about a rotational axis, the rotational axis being substantially perpendicular to the inside surface of the base and being fixed in position relative to each of the base and the lid; wherein the lid is configured to rotatably transition from a closed position where the lid covers the at least one receptacle and an open position where the at least one receptacle is accessible by a user, one of the base and the lid defines a curvilinear track, and the other of the base and the lid includes a cam configured to be received within and to move along the track upon rotation of the lid relative to the base, and the track is radially spaced from and concentric with the rotational axis.
