Packaging and applicator device

A packaging and applicator device comprising:

• a receptacle for containing a composition to be applied;
• and
• an applicator including an applicator element that is configured to be inserted into the receptacle for taking the composition;
• the receptacle comprising:
• a body;
• and
• a movable system that is movable inside the body, the movable system including a wiper member that includes only one opening through which the applicator element passes while the applicator element is being inserted into the receptacle, and an anti-return mechanism comprising at least one blocking element that bears against the body of the receptacle with a coefficient of friction that is smaller while the movable system is moving toward a bottom of the receptacle, than while the movable system is moving away from the bottom of the receptacle to oppose movement of the movable system in a direction away from the bottom of the receptacle,
• wherein the movable system is configured so as to move in a generally unidirectional manner toward a bottom of the receptacle based on a force exerted by the applicator during insertion of the applicator into the receptacle.
