A device for applying a product defines a height and includes a first
compartment defining a reservoir for containing a product. The first
compartment may include a variable volume. The device may include a second
compartment defining an opening and being in one of selective and
permanent flow communication with the first compartment via at least one
orifice. The second compartment may be configured to at least partially
receive an applicator for applying the product, and may define a volume
which is substantially fixed. The device may include a closure element
configured to close off the opening of the second compartment. The device
may be configured so that the height of the device diminishes as the
volume of the first compartment becomes reduced, and at a last use of the
device, the axial height of the device may be less than the axial height
of the device at a first use of device.
