nice find about vintage .
Above: 1957 Helena Rubinstein lipstick cases.
The high quality cases of this period used easy to fit refills that ‘clicked in or out’. Unfortunately they suffered from the same problem that had plagued metal lipsticks from the beginning; unless protected they collected unsightly abrasion marks when they collided with the other clutter in women’s purses and handbags and soon looked worn and tired. This perhaps explains why the use of lipstick refills never really caught on.
