I just saw an advertisement for Avon's newest product, "Pro-To-Go" Lipstick, and it seemed very familiar to me. This lipstick comes in an interesting little container that you can use just one hand to flip open, slide up, and flip shut. Very innovative, no?

Actually, this has been done before. Years ago, Bonne Bell came up with this idea (I'm talking about 10 years ago, because I used to have some of these) in the form of their "Flip Shades" and "Flip Gloss". It's interesting because they look like lighters!

I wonder if Avon stole the idea from them? Maybe they bought out the rights to this lipstick design? Was it ever even patented? So many questions left unanswered! I don't like Avon necessarily, so I won't be buying Pro-To-Go, but it's a steal at $6.
