A cosmetic dispenser which has one or more cosmetic cartridges that can be removed from a dispenser cabinet when the cosmetic substance within the cartridge has become depleted. The cabinet has a cover that is pivotally connected to a base. The base is typically mounted to a wall of a hotel bathroom. The cover encloses the cosmetic cartridges that are located within an inner cavity of the cabinet. The cosmetic cartridges are secured to the base by a plurality of spring latch fingers which can be deflected to attach and remove the cartridge from the cabinet. Each cartridge has a reciprocal piston pump sealingly engaged in a neck of the cartridge, the pump being actuable by depression of a hollow dispensing nozzle connected to the piston of the pump. The piston pump may be a conventional dispenser pump of a top dispensing container modified by fluidically sealing air vents provided in the pump body adjacent one end remote from a check valve located at an opposite end.
