    I liked how as a primer, this was very light yet effective. I can spend the entire day outside and still feel like it keeps everything in place.

    I received this product from the Product Review Club. I really liked how i could use this under my eye shadow but id rather a primer gel than a loose powder.

    I am always a little suspicious of two in one products. As a primer, this does not work for my skin but I can see it working for others. I have some deep creases and combination skin and need something not powdered to fill and smooth, but to just even out my skin when not wearing makeup it looks great as a primer. As a setting powder however, I love it! I used it under my makeup on my t-zone to help with shine, plus to set my makeup. It helped with shine for about 4-5 hours. As a setting powder, it gave a very finished look, and did not have the sparkly look of many powders.

    Buy it: $20 at Shoppers Drug Mart

    I am not a fan of this primer. I did not see it deliver the results it stated (decrease look of pores and fine lines). As well, it is white. I have a very white complexion as it is, I am not interested in looking like a porcelain doll. If it has a bit of tint in it, I may have liked it better. It will not be replacing the product I currently use.

    I received the GOSH Prime 'n Set Powder as part of the product review club. I think my rating of this product comes down to personal preference. I do like that the powder is fine and therefore it does not cause creasing like other setting powders do. I typically use a liquid primer and so I think I just didn't like the powder's finished look was. Having said that though, I do think that this product would be amazing in the summer time to control oil and shine.

    I received this product from the Product Review Club

    I wasn't totally impressed with this powder. I used it 3 ways: 1) As both primer and set powder, 2) Just primer and 3) Just set powder. Unfortunately, I didn't see great results no matter which way I used it. I didn't feel like it did much as a primer. I use BB cream and used to using the 'gel' like primers. This just caked up my skin, so eventally the BB cream really showed off my pores. As a setting powder, I didn't think it did a noticeable job to keep my make up in place all day. I wouldn't repurchase this in the future. I would let people try it. Maybe they would get different results using foundation instead and non-oliy skin, like I have.

    I've been testing this powder every day since I got it and I have grown to like it. There are definitely some pros and cons, although it is a good product.

    Con -
    The biggest con is the packaging. The packaging does not do a good job of containing the fine powder. I realize most loose powders are messy - as is their nature, however this one is messier. The stopper doesn't do much to keep the powder down and each time I use it I get a fine white powder all over my bathroom.

    Pro -
    I really like this powder for setting my under eye concealer. It doesn't crease because its so fine and it does make my concealer last all day.

    I've also been using this on my T-Zone to control any oil.

    I also use this as a primer around my nose and cheeks and it does make the areas look smoother.

    I received the GOSH Prim 'n Set Powder for free from being a ChickAdvisor member.
    I don't typically use these types of products, but found it helpful to use at the end of the work day to get rid of shine. It really helped to even tone & cut shine. Would be nice if it came with a brush as well, but packaging is good in that it does not get too messy. Good product if you're on the go and need a little refresh on your makeup.

    I received the GOSH Prime 'n Set Powder as part of the product review club.

    I really like this product, but I didn't find it any different than any other primer or setting powder I've used before. It did do everything it promised to, which was great. It did a great job of giving my skin a nice matte look after I put on my foundation, it blended well onto my skin and was quite light. It didn't irritate and it had great lasting power. Definitely a good product, I will continue to use it and may decide to incorporate it into my regular cosmetic purchase rotation. I would recommend it!

    OKay. So - I wasn't really sure what I was in for but this is how I tried this product:

    Under foundation as a Primer - was just weird. I am used to a goopy primer that is like a moisturizer and makes your face smooth - this was just a powder and did nothing for the foundation other than making my skin look dry.

    Over foundation instead of powder - this way worked pretty much the same as those BodyShop mineral powder blotting papers, and lasted about as long (Not Very); however throughout the day I applied it only twice as I was out in the sun at the beach all day and wanted to get rid of shine, and that worked. It did give a very matte look upon applying, which too me seems really fake.
    I did not use a regular skin-toned powder with this - I felt this talc was too drying to require two powders.

    On another day I didn't wear makeup at all and just brushed this on with a BIG poofy powder brush and it controlled the shine without being overly matte.
