DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] FIGS. 1-4 refer to a marker according to the invention with lip gloss applicator in stick version.

[0020] The marker comprises an elongated body 1 equipped with an inner cylindrical cavity 2 in which is accommodated a sponge 3 soaked in a coloured ink for lips, in particular of no-transfer type.

[0021] Drawing in the sponge 3, and therefore in the ink in which it is soaked, is a single-piece tip 4, which comes out of an end of the elongated body 1 and is accommodated within a removable protective insert 5, in turn covered by a removable closing cap 6.

[0022] Inserted in the other end of the elongated body 1 is a support 7 for a lip gloss or gloss 8 in shape of solid bar or stick, on which a protective cap 9 fixed to the body 1 is removably arranged.

[0023] By removing the cap 6 and the insert, 5 the tip 4 is usable as ink applicator. By successively removing the cap 9, the stick 8 is usable as lip gloss applicator.

[0024] FIGS. 5-8 in turn refer to a marker according to the invention with lip gloss applicator in bottle version.

[0025] The marker again comprises an elongated body 1 equipped with an inner cylindrical cavity 2 in which is accommodated a sponge 3 soaked in a coloured ink for lips, in particular of no-transfer type.

[0026] Drawing in the sponge 3, and therefore in the liquid in which it is soaked, is a single-piece tip 4, which comes out of an end of the elongated body 1 and is accommodated within a removable protective insert 5, in turn covered by a removable closing cap 6.

[0027] Inserted in the other end of the elongated body 1 and release-blocked by means of a groove and protrusion coupling 10 is a support 11 for a sponge or "flock" applicator 12 which, by means of a cleaning sleeve or "wiper" 13, draws in a bottle 14 containing a lip gloss fluid.

[0028] A diaphragm 15 is interposed between the sponge 3 and the support 11 within the elongated body 1.

[0029] By removing the cap 6 and the insert 5 the tip 4 is usable as ink applicator. By successively sliding the applicator 12 from the bottle 14 and from the cleaning sleeve 13, it is possible to perform the application of the fluid lip gloss.
