Abstract
An insertable applique removal feature includes: a protruding lip; a cylindrical body coupled to the lip; and an applique removal element having multiple inwardly curving petals coupled to the body, each petal separated from each adjacent petal by a gap when said petals are in a relaxed state. A mascara tube includes: a cylindrical neck having a first radius; a cylindrical reservoir coupled the neck, the reservoir having a second radius, wherein the second radius is greater than the first radius; a first mascara removal feature including: a cylindrical body located along an interior surface of the neck; and a set of petals protruding from one end of the body and forming a convex shape that extends into a portion of the reservoir, where each petal is separated from each adjacent petal by a gap when the petals are in a relaxed state and has a substantially constant thickness.
