A cosmetic compact of increased stability, comprising a base, a cosmetic article carrier disposed within the base and a cap. With respect to the base , the cap is sometimes capable of translation and sometimes capable of rotat ion, but the cap can only perform one type of motion at a time, depending on the relative orientation of the cap and base. There is one orientation of t he cap with respect to the base from which a user may execute either transla tion or rotation, but not simultaneously. A selective rotation mechanism dec ouples translational motion of the cap from rotational motion. Thus, compoun d movement of the cap, with respect to the base, is not possible. Translatio n of the cap with respect to the base causes translation of the article carr ier. Inadvertent movement of the carrier is eliminated, because when the dev ice is in an orientation for use, translation of the carrier is prohibited.< /SDOAB>
