A connector device is provided that permits two separately stored ingredients to be mixed in and dispensed from the same container. The connector device includes an attachment mechanism for connecting two containers together to permit combining of separately stored ingredients and another attachment mechanism for connecting a dispenser to the container containing the combined ingredients to permit dispensing of the product directly from that container. In a preferred embodiment, a stopper is included in the neck of the first container, the second container including a device for penetrating the stopper. Also disclosed is a method of intermixing products with the connector device.

The kit of claim 7, wherein said perforable membrane is clamped in position between said connector device and said stopper. 9. The kit of claim 3, wherein said second container is a syringe having a barrel, said guide being dimensioned to closely receive said barrel. 10. A kit for intermixing ingredients comprising:a first container including a neck portion having a stopper with a top surface within said neck portion and a perforable membrane covering at least a portion of said top surface of said stopper, said first container containing a first ingredient to be mixed;a second container containing a second ingredient to be mixed with said first ingredient to provide a mixture;a dispenser for dispensing said mixture from said first container, said dispenser being distinct from said second container; anda connector device connected to said first container, said connector device having a guide to shepherd said second container into an appropriate position with respect to said perforable membrane to allow said second ingredient to be discharged into said first container, said connector device further including a connector for connecting said dispenser to said connector device while said connector device is connected to said first container, said connector device positioning said dispenser in an appropriate position to dispense said mixture from said first container. 11. The kit of claim 10, wherein said stopper has a height and includes a central orifice through said height, said central orifice being covered by said perforable membrane. 12. A kit for intermixing ingredients comprising:a first container including a neck portion having a stopper with a top surface within said neck portion, a height, a central orifice through said height and a perforable membrane covering said central orifice and at least a portion of said top surface of said stopper, said first container containing a first ingredient to be mixed;a second container containing a second ingredient to be mixed with said first ingredient to provide a mixture;a dispenser for dispensing said mixture from said first container wherein said dispenser is a finger pump; anda connector device connected to said first container said connector device having a guide to shepherd said second container into an appropriate position with respect to said perforable membrane to allow said second ingredient to be discharged into said first container, said connector device further including a connector for connecting said dispenser to said connector device while said connector device is connected to said first container, said connector device positioning said dispenser in an appropriate position to dispense said mixture from said first container. 13. The kit of claim 12, wherein said finger pump includes a tank, said tank fitting tightly within said central orifice when said dispenser is connected to said first container. 14. The kit of claim 13, wherein said tank has a pointed tip to facilitate penetration of the perforable membrane. 15. The kit of claim 14, wherein said second container is a syringe. 16. The kit of claim 15, wherein said perforable membrane is clamped between said connector device and said stopper. 17. The kit of claim 10, wherein said second container is a syringe having a barrel, said guide being dimensioned to closely receive said barrel. 18. A method of intermixing products including the steps of:(a) connecting a connector device to a first container, the first container containing a first ingredient and the connector device including a guide;(b) inserting a second container into the guide of the connector device, the second container containing a second ingredient, the connector device shepherding a dispensing means of the second container into a position for directly dispensing the second ingredient into the first container;(c) dispensing the second ingredient from the second container into the first container;(d) mixing the second ingredient and the first ingredient in the first container to form a mixture;(e) removing the second container from the connector device; and(f) connecting a dispenser to the connector device, the connector device positioning the dispenser into a position to allow the mixture to be dispensed from the first container without returning the mixture to the second container. 19.
