Package for dispensing flowable cosmetics

A package for dispensing a flowable substance is provided which includes a container, a closure and a cap. The container on a closed end is sufficiently rounded to render that end incapable of standing upright. A second end of the container has a round opening for dispensing the flowable substance. The closure is positioned across the second end and includes an oval top wall with opposite exterior and interior surfaces, a skirt surrounding the top wall and at least two separate apertures for fluidly communicating with the opening of the container. The cap is seatable over the closure and includes a roof with an inner surface and a flat outer surface, an apron surrounding the roof and a set of plugs projecting downwardly from the inner surface of the roof. The plugs are equivalent in number and shape to the apertures and seatable therewithin to prevent egress of flowable substance from the container.
