		<description><![CDATA[I have VERY sensitive pale skin and seriously, 30 minutes after placing my order to Coastal Classics for a whopping $36.25 for a single foundation with s&amp;h (Seriously, shipping @ $8 plus for a 14gram package?) found the negative feedback on this site and now I&#039;m disgusted that the product is most likely not going to work for me at all AND this company has absolutely NO REFUNDS policy AND NO contact phone number.   BUYER BEWARE]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just tried Gabriel lipstick and under eye concealer. EXCELLENT PRODUCTS!! Will definitely explore the line more and pick up a few other necessary items, eyeliner, mascara and gloss.
They have a full line of color cosmetics! Definitely it&#039;s excellent and non toxic, no lead, no parabens, no dyes, no animal testing! Whole Foods in my area carries it. Be beautiful and safe!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello again,

I decided to try Coastal Classic Creations foundation, and unfortunately I was disappointed. I love that all of the ingredients are safe, but unfortunately it seems that when you take out the dangerous ingredients the product is not nearly as good. I have found this not only with Coastal Classic Creations (CCC) but with almost all truly natural and safe products. I have dry skin so the foundation may work better for someone else with oilier skin. However I put on jojoba oil beforehand and it still does not blend well at all. It looked so bad and I had dark spots all over my face that wouldn&#039;t blend. I found that mixing a little of the foundation powder into the jojoba oil and then putting it on my face helped it look more blended but I still wasn&#039;t impressed with how difficult and messy that was. 
I bought RMS eyeshadow and un-cover up and have been VERY impressed with the eyeshadow. It&#039;s very light, so I add some of the eyeshadow from CCC which is darker and it blends perfectly. I do have to dab at my eyes occasionally because it is a cream eyeshadow but that&#039;s not a big deal to me. The un-cover up is OK, like it&#039;s name it doesn&#039;t do much covering up, but I like it better than mineral powders because of my dry skin. 
So, in conclusion, I would buy the CCC eyeshadow again, but generally only mixed with a cream eyeshadow, or applied very carefully dry to very well moisturized eyes. I would definitely buy the CCC mascara again. I would definitely buy the RMS eyeshadow again. I would not buy either the RMS or the CCC foundations again.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have tried the Coastal Classics Creations eyeshadows, and unfortunately, they do not blend well into the skin. I have three colors, a yellow, light brown, and dark brown, and all of them get smudgy and uneven. It may be because I have dry skin - I have heard powders aren&#039;t good for dry skin. However, putting moisturizer on beforehand didn&#039;t help. I really like the philosophy of the company though, so I am very glad I supported them by buying their products. Also, I LOVE their mascara!!! It is isn&#039;t very dark, which is perfect for me since I am blonde, but if you have dark hair you might not see a huge difference. Hope that helps people out! If anyone has tried their foundation and has dry skin I would love to hear how it is! Thanks!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I bought the Physician&#039;s Formula mascara per your website&#039;s recommendation, and I love it. I am a daily makeup-wearer, and it performs the same as any of the other (toxic) mascaras I used to wear. It is quite thick, but doesn&#039;t clump, make my eyes itch or get flakey.]]></description>
