Abstract
A device for wiping and/or drying a brush for applying a liquid from a container to a portion of the body, such as mascara for eyelashes, and a container including the same. The device includes a sleeve insertable into the neck of the container and having a first open end, a second end provided with articulated flaps, and a wall between the first and second end and provided with lugs radially deformable towards an axis of the sleeve upon insertion of the sleeve into the neck of the container. The lugs constitute a stop for the flaps during the withdrawal of the brush through these flaps while the flaps are, upon insertion of the brush into the container through the sleeve, freely pivoting to permit this insertion.
