Claim:
A container for a pasty or liquid cosmetic product, comprising: an elongate body extending in a longitudinal direction, and comprising a bottom zone and a free edge; a reservoir comprising said product and a neck, wherein said reservoir is movable in translation in the body between a low resting position close to the bottom zone and a high working position close to the free edge; an application member comprising a shaft joined to a cap and terminated by an applicator, wherein: said application member is adapted to be loaded with said product when the shaft of the application member is inserted through the neck into the reservoir in a reloading configuration, the cap is adapted to engage in or on the body by pushing the shaft into the reservoir to the low resting configuration, and the cap is adapted be extracted from the body and to enable extraction of the shaft and the applicator out of the reservoir and from the body, and complementary sealing members respectively located on the shaft of the application member and on the reservoir near the neck, wherein said complementary sealing members are adapted to link the shaft and the reservoir in a substantially sealed configuration during translation from the low resting position to near the high working position of the reservoir in the body, wherein the high position of the reservoir in the body is defined by complementary retaining members located between the body and that reservoir and adapted to generate a resistance to the descent of the reservoir into the body from said high working position, and further wherein the cap is adapted to provide a sufficient grip to enable a user to extract the application member from the body when the cap is linked to the reservoir and the reservoir is in the low resting position.
