Abstract
The invention relates to a vial for a liquid or pasty cosmetic product, comprising an elongate body having a base area (11) and a free edge (12), a vessel (20) containing said product and which is translatably movable in the body between a bottom rest position and a top working position, an elastically compressible guide device with a stable retracted configuration determining the bottom position and a maximum extension configuration determining the top position, comprising a hollow guide track in which a guide pin is inserted at least in the maximum extension configuration, as well as an application element (30) comprising a cap (40) suitable for being inserted inside the body and, in the opposite direction, for being at least partially extracted from said body by the elastically compressible guide device. An elastic insert (67) is provided next to said guide track to slow the movement of the guide pin when the elastically compressible guide device exits the maximum extension configuration thereof due to the cap being pushed into the body.
