<p>An applicator (10) for a cosmetic product is provided, the applicator comprising a container (12) for storing the cosmetic product, the container (12) defining an opening (16), a first wiper element (18) coupled to the container (12), proximate the opening (16) of the container (12), and an applicator arrangement (24) removably coupled to the container (12). The applicator arrangement (24) includes a stem (26) having an applicator element (28) at a distal end and a first handle (30) at a proximal end, the applicator element (28) extending into the container (12) for receiving cosmetic product. The applicator arrangement (24) further includes an elongate hollow tube (32) that is slidable through the first wiper element (18), the hollow tube (32) having an opening (34) defined by a rim (36) at a distal end and a second handle (38) at a proximal end, the rim (36) defining a second wiper element, wherein the stem (26) can be slidably accommodated within the hollow tube (32) so that the applicator element (28) of the stem (26) can extend beyond the opening (34) defined by the rim (36) of the hollow tube (32). The first handle (30) is releasably fitted to the second handle (38) so that when the applicator arrangement (24) is removed from the container (12) the first wiper element (18) scrapes excess cosmetic product from the applicator element (28) and when the first handle (30) is separated from the second handle (38) the second wiper element scrapes excess cosmetic product from the applicator element (28).</p> |
