Abstract

A product application device includes a receptacle having a variable inside volume configured to contain a product, an applicator element, and a dip tube configured to extend to the bottom of the receptacle. The device further includes a first portion and a second portion configured to cooperate together to define a substantially leak-proof enclosure for the applicator element. The dip tube is configured to enable the enclosure to be in flow communication with the product flowing from the receptacle.
