A silver prism lipstick tube with geometric engraved design. The top of the prism is rounded and has a retractible cover. The cover is opened, exposing the lipstick, by a small pulley on one side of the lipstick. The same side of the lipstick where the pulley is found also contains engraved text reading, “Helena Rubinstein.” The bottom of the lipstick has an engraved image of two figures facing one another with text above and below them reading, “Valaze / Made in U.S.A.”
