1. A system, comprising:
a dispensing device configured to receive at least one cartridge that contains a cosmetic material and to dispense a specified amount of the cosmetic material from the cartridge into a receiving area, wherein the at least one cartridge includes an electronic communication and storage device configured to store data regarding the cosmetic material stored in the cartridge; and
a mobile user device configured to perform communication with the dispensing assembly to receive information related to the data stored on the electronic communication and storage device and to transmit a command to cause the dispensing assembly to dispense the specified amount of the cosmetic material,
wherein the electronic communication and storage device stores data regarding (i) a production process of the at least one cartridge that is created prior to the at least one cartridge initially being inserted into the dispensing device, and (ii) a usage of the at least one cartridge after the at least one cartridge is inserted into the dispensing device, and
wherein the electronic communication and storage device stores a signature using a unique identification of the electronic communication and storage device, the data stored on the electronic communication and storage device, and a secret key of a manufacturing entity of the at least one cartridge, and the mobile user device is configured to check that the signature comes from the manufacturing entity before transmitting the command to cause the dispensing assembly to dispense the specified amount of the cosmetic material.
