What is claimed is: 1. A package for use with a container, the package comprising: a container component; a push-button release system integrally formed with the container component, the release system comprising a user interface and a linking member, the user interface being formed in a first position and later rotated to a second position, the release system further comprising a support member coupling the user interface to the linking member, a first living hinge pivotally coupling a first end of the linking member to the container component, and a second living hinge pivotally coupling a second end of linking member to the support member, the support member biases the user interface into a locked position; a retaining mechanism for holding the release system in the second position before the package is applied to a container, the retaining mechanism including a recess formed in one of the release system and the container component, and a projection disposed on the other of the release system and the container component that engages the recess; and a latching mechanism coupled to the release system configured to releasably engage a top portion of the container. 2. The package of claim 1, wherein the container component is a first platform having a shape corresponding to a portion of the container. 3. The package of claim 2, wherein the first platform includes an aperture for retaining an article. 4. The package of claim 3, wherein the aperture is configured to retain a cosmetic substance. 5. The package of claim 3, wherein the first platform includes a cutout portion for receiving the user interface when the release system is rotated into the second position. 6. The package of claim 2, wherein the first platform is coupled to a bottom portion of the container. 7. The package of claim 6, wherein the first platform is coupled to the bottom portion of the container by a snap fit. 8. The package of claim 6, wherein the first platform is coupled to the bottom portion of the container by ultrasonic welding. 9. The package of claim 1, wherein the container component and the release system are made of a flexible resin that enables the release system to be rotated into the second position. 10. The package of claim 9, wherein the container component and the release system are made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene. 11. The package of claim 9, wherein the container component and the release system are made of polypropylene. 12. The package of claim 1, wherein the first position is within a range between 270 degrees and 20 degrees rotated from the second position. 13. The package of claim 12, wherein the first position is approximately 90 degrees rotated from the second position. 14. The package of claim 1, wherein the release system includes two linking members. 15. The package of claim 1, wherein the latching mechanism includes a projection extending upward from the user interface, the projection having a lip located near a distal end of the projection. 16. The package of claim 1, wherein the latching mechanism is integrally formed with the release system and the container component. 17. The package of claim 1, wherein the engagement between the projection and the recess is a snap-fit. 18. A container system for retaining a cosmetic article, the system comprising: a container having a top portion and a bottom portion; a package for use with the container, the package having a container component integrally formed with a release system, the release system being formed in a first position and configured to be rotated to a second position before being applied to the container, the release system comprising: a user interface; a linking member coupling the user interface to the container component; a retaining mechanism for holding the release system in the second position before the package is applied to the container, the retaining mechanism including a recess formed in one of the release system and the container component and a projection disposed on the other of the release system and the container component, the projection being configured to engage the recess when the release system is moved to the second position, wherein the top portion of the container is rotatable relative to the bottom portion of the container about a hinge between an open position and a closed position; and wherein the container component is a deck supported at the bottom portion of the container, wherein the deck includes a cutout configured to receive a portion of the user interface when the release system is rotated into the second position. 19. The system of claim 18, wherein the rotational direction of the top portion of the container relative to the bottom portion of the container is substantially the same as the rotational direction of the release system between the first position and the second position. 20. The system of claim 18, wherein the user interface is molded approximately 90 degrees rotated from the second position. 21. The system of claim 18, wherein the release system is a push-button release system that is actuated by applying an inward force on the user interface. 22. The system of claim 21, further comprising a support member coupling the user interface to the linking member. 23. The system of claim 22, further comprising a latching mechanism coupled to the release system and configured to releasably engage the top portion of the container. 24. The system of claim 23, wherein the latching mechanism includes a projection extending upward from the user interface, the projection having a lip located near a distal end of the projection that is configured to engage the top portion of the container. 25. The system of claim 18, wherein the deck is received within an aperture defined by the bottom portion of the container. 26. The system of claim 18, wherein the bottom portion of the container is substantially rectangular in shape. 27. The system of claim 18, wherein the deck has a shape that substantially conforms to the shape of the bottom portion of the container. 28. The system of claim 18, wherein the deck defines a cavity configured to receive a cosmetic substance. 29. The system of claim 18, wherein the release system is positioned at a front portion of the deck.
