Due to the fact that I simply cannot justify spending the very large chunk of change, $420 to be exact, I can only gaze longingly at this compact. However, I have to say that it is by far the prettiest, most glamorous compact I have ever come across. Plus, I am still dreaming about being somewhere more exotic, and this compact continues that theme.

Contribute—one compact at a time—to a better world.A collectors' limited-edition compact designed by Jay Strongwater for Chantecaille, hand lacquered with a beautiful coral relief decoration. The compact includes a flat, semi-circle natural hair brush and is refillable. Comes in an elegant turquoise and coral-colored cloth box with a refill.The Vitamin C-infused powder has velvety texture that glides on effortlessly, melting to skin for a natural glow. Silky soft, the extremely tiny, smooth particles result in a non-powdery finish. Treats skin with hydrating properties; imparts a sun-kissed, luminous look.Chantecaille's Coral Collection supports "Reefs of Hope" a project of the Pew Institute for Ocean Science. Led by Professor Andrew Baker, the project seeks to mitigate the detrimental effects of pollution, over-fishing, and global warming on the world's invaluable coral reefs. These complex ecosystems serve as an essential infrastructure maintaining the integrity of our coastlines, as buffers holding back tidal waves and regulating other extreme weather conditions, and as home to fish that provide nearly two-thirds of the protein intake to developing coastal nations. The loss of these vital reefs will have potentially devastating effects on both animal and human populations around the globe. A portion of the proceeds go towards the "Reefs of Hope" to aid in the preservation of coral reefs against the detrimental effects of global warming.

I have to say ater reading the way it melts in the face with a silkly luminous glow I want one,especially if it going to research of perserving corals. The problem I also have would be the price not affordable.
