    a transmitter housed inside said lipstick case;

    a reserve battery having electrodes housed inside said lipstick case, said electrodes being electrically connected to said transmitter but housed in a separate compartment fabricated inside said lipstick case, said compartment providing physical isolation between said transmitter and said electrodes, said battery also Having a liquid electrolyte stored inside said lipstick case but separated from said electrodes by means of a rupturable seal;

    an antenna integrally fabricated into one end of said lipstick case, said antenna being connected to said transmitter;

    a slot cut into one surface of said lipstick case; and

    battery activating means including a button located in said slot in such a manner that said button protrudes only slightly above the surface of said lipstick case, a spring arm housed inside said lipstick case and secured to said button, a piston located inside said lipstick case, said piston having sharp projections extending toward said rupturable seal, and a movable baffle located inside said lipstick case between said spring arm and said piston, said battery being activated by pushing said button downward and toward said baffle to cause said baffle to push against said piston to rupture said rupturable seal by means of said sharp projections to thereby allow said electrolyte to flow into said compartment housing said electrodes to activate said battery and thereby activate said transmitter.
