The invention claimed is: 1. A finger operable container comprising an assembly including a housing and a slide member received by the housing, at least one receptacle located in said housing for receiving a product, the receptacle having a bottom wall, and a pair of finger openings formed in the assembly through which two fingers of the same hand can be inserted, one of the finger openings being located in said slide member and the other finger opening being located in said housing, and the housing including a central access opening between the first and second finger openings providing access to the receptacle, the finger openings being configured and arranged to allow the finger movements of a single hand to move the assembly between a closed storage position in which said receptacle is covered by said slide member and an open position in which the receptacle is exposed to permit application of the product. 2. A container according to claim 1, wherein the slide member is transparent so that when the slide member is in the closed position, the color shade of the product in the receptacle can be seen. 3. A container according to claim 1, including a stop for temporarily maintaining the assembly in the closed position. 4. A container according to claim 3, including a stop for limiting the sliding movement of the slide member in the open position and thereby retaining the slide member in assembled relation with the housing. 5. A container according to claim 4, including a positive stop mechanism cooperating with each of said slide members for limiting the sliding movement of the slide members and retaining the slide members in assembled relation with the housing. 6. A finger operable container comprising an assembly including a housing and first and second slide members extending into said housing from opposite sides thereof, and at least one receptacle located in said housing for receiving a product, the receptacle having a bottom wall, and a pair of finger openings formed in the assembly through which two fingers of the same hand can be insert, said finger openings being located in said first and second slide members, and the housing including a central access opening between the first and second finger openings providing access to the receptacle, the finger openings being configured and arranged to allow the finger movements of a single hand to move the assembly between a closed storage position in which said receptacle is covered by said slide members and an open position in which the receptacle is exposed to permit application of the product. 7. A finger operable container comprising: a housing having opposed top and bottom walls spaced apart from one another to form a hollow interior passageway terminating in an opening at a first end of the housing, a slide member having a first portion slidably received within the hollow interior passageway of the housing and an externally disposed second portion located adjacent the first end of the housing, a receptacle in said first portion of the slide member, the receptacle including a bottom wall for receiving the product thereon, a finger opening in said externally disposed second portion of the slide member through which a finger of the hand can be inserted for longitudinally sliding the slide member from a closed storage position in which said receptacle is covered by the housing to a open position in which the receptacle is exposed to permit application of the product and an additional finger opening in the container through which another finger of the same hand can be inserted so that the container can be moved between the closed to the open position by the finger movements of a single hand, wherein said finger openings are of a circular configuration and of substantially equal diameter, and including a circular mirror mounted on said housing between the finger openings. 8. A container according to claim 7, wherein the housing has a second end opposite said first end, and said hollow interior passageway terminates in a second opening at said second end, and including a second slide member extending into said second opening, said second slide member having a first portion slidably received within the hollow interior passageway of the housing and an externally disposed second portion located adjacent the second end of the housing. 9. A container according to claim 8, including a receptacle in said first portion of the second slide member for receiving a cream or paste type product, and wherein the second slide member is longitudinally slidable between a closed storage position in which said receptacle is within the housing to a open position in which the receptacle is exposed to permit application of the product. 10. A container according to claim 9, wherein said additional finger opening formed is formed in the externally disposed portion of the second slide member so that the both the first and second slide members can be moved between the closed to the open position by the finger movements of a single hand. 11. A finger operable container comprising: a housing having opposed top and bottom walls spaced apart from one another to form a hollow interior passageway terminating in an opening at a first end of the housing, a central opening in the top wall of said housing, a receptacle beneath the central opening for receiving the product, a slide member having a first portion slidably received within the hollow interior passageway of the housing and positioned between the central opening and the receptacle for covering the receptacle, and an externally disposed second portion located adjacent the first end of the housing, a finger opening formed in said externally disposed second portion of the slide member through which a finger of the hand can be inserted for longitudinally sliding the slide member from a closed storage position in which said receptacle is covered by the slide member to a open position in which the receptacle is exposed to permit application of the product. 12. A container according to claim 11, wherein said first portion of the slide member is transparent so that when the slide member is in the closed position, the color shade of the product in the receptacle can be seen. 13. A container according to claim 11, including an additional finger opening in the housing through which another finger of the same hand can be inserted so that the container can be moved between the closed to the open position by the finger movements of a single hand. 14. A container according to claim 11, including a second slide member having a first portion slidably received within the hollow interior passageway of the housing and positioned between the central opening and the receptacle for covering the receptacle, and an externally disposed second portion located adjacent an end of the housing opposite said first end, a finger opening formed in said externally disposed second portion of the second slide member through which a second finger of the same hand can be inserted, and wherein said slide members are movable between a closed position protectively covering the receptacle and an open position in which the receptacle is uncovered.
