1. A product dispensing apparatus comprising:
a reusable product dispenser comprising:
a housing defining a longitudinal axis;
a base rotatably coupled to a proximal portion of the housing and configured to rotate about the longitudinal axis in a first direction and a second direction; and
a telescope assembly including a proximal section and a distal section movable relative to the proximal section along the longitudinal axis defined by the housing between a collapsed condition and an extended condition, at least one of the proximal section or the distal section operably coupled to the base such that rotation of the base about the longitudinal axis causes corresponding rotation of at least one of the proximal section or the distal section of the telescope assembly about the longitudinal axis, wherein;
rotation of at least one of the proximal section or the distal section of the telescope assembly about the longitudinal axis causes the distal section to move relative to the proximal section along the longitudinal axis; and
rotation of at least one of the proximal section or the distal section of the telescope assembly about the longitudinal axis causes the distal section to move relative to the proximal section along the longitudinal axis and rotate about the longitudinal axis; and
a refill cartridge configured to releasably couple to the reusable product dispenser.
