(57) In the manufacture of lipsticks in situ in their containers on a continuous basis, similar to the know Ejectoret process, in which molten material is poured through the inverted container and through the stick carrier (7) inside it into a mould (9) fitted onto the stick carrier (7), the mould (9) not only engages the stick carrier (7) but also fits over the outside of the end of the container and forms the means by which the container is supported whilst the molten material is poured, then the container, complete with the mould, is removed, after which the newly formed stick is retracted and the mould discarded.
