    I received the #Gosh #PrimenSetPowder for free through the #ProductReviewClub.

    I absolutely love this product. I recently came back from vacation and got a really dark tan and super skinny skin. I used this product on top of my foundation and just on top of plain moisturized face and it set beautifully, flawlessly. Even though the primer color looks light, it actually goes on translucent and blends very well with any skin tone. It's feels light and not cake light, which is very important to me!! Another thing that i loved is, it lasted all day, no shiny face from day to night was amazzzzzing!!!! I'm totally impressed!!

    It really makes me feel like a #GOSHGoddess :)

    I was lucky enough to be one of the 600 people chosen to receive gosh products for free. Here is my personal experience and review on the following product.

    Primer works pretty well I do see reduced pores and such. I have some freckles and it works nicely for that and also for when my eyes look tired. Also this product makes your skin super soft.

    For the older woman although I maybe in my almost late 20s and do not have wrinkles but I feel this could be good for wrinkles to reduce the look of wrinkles.

    This product I found works better than others so far from what I've tried in the past. Other products did their job but this product did more because it actually covered the areas I wanted and blends nicely with skin color. Works really well over all. Make sure you get the color for your skin tone, each tone is different.

    I would buy it again and highly recommended it .

    I received this product to trial and review as a GOSH Goddess. I have worn it for a few days and here are my thoughts. I like the packaging, was easy to open but hygienically sealed which is important to me. As a mineral makeup fan I have tried many finishing powders and with my oily skin I use them most days. When I first opened the product I was nervous about how white the powder was and wondered if I would look chalky. The first application put those worries to rest. The powder is completely translucent on application and does not alter the colour of the foundation used at all. What it does do is cut shine. All. Day. Long!! With oily skin I am used to reapplying powder throughout the day to eliminate shine but I didn't have to do this once! I used the powder as both a primer and a finisher (so I applied before and after my mineral foundation) and I am so impressed with the shine free finish. I am so excited about this product and highly recommend it!
    Thanks Chick Advisor and GOSH Cosmetics for the chance to review it!

    I am very cautious when trying out new cover products due to oily skin and breakouts...but when i felt this powder go on, that all changed :) This is amazing coverage for high shine t-zones like mine! It did just what it said it would, it covered all of my blemishes and red spots and gave my face a natural matte looking finish. I am impressed with this product and i will most certainly be buying it. Thank you to #ChickAdvisor and #GOSH for the free testing opportunity!

    This is a really unique product! You use it as a primer first to keep makeup in place all day. It made my skin amazingly soft as soon as I applied it with a powder brush. I kept rubbing my cheeks because they were so soft. After I applied my bb cream, I put more of the Prime 'n set on to keep my makeup in place. I was concerned that my skin would look really white, but it didn't. It blended very well and kept my skin looking matte all day long. This will be a makeup bag staple for me from now on. I cant recommend it enough!

    I got this product for free from the Chick Advisor Product review club.

    Unlike the other reviews where I posted with in a few days, I actually took a week of using this product. I've always been interested in primers and setting powders....mainly, because I don't use foundation, I use concealer and pressed powder at the most, but I do use eye makeup. Generally, I love anything that will set my eye makeup for the day.

    This product is white...and goes on clear. That's something that was really important to me....as it can be used all year long. I am a lot more tanned in the summertime and pale in the winter, and so my main pressed powder only works for 1/2 of the year.

    I use this produce mainly as a primer. I use a kabuki brush and apply after my moisturizer/face sunscreen (I use a Dior SPF 50 compact not available in North America). It does make pores look smaller and a nice matte feeling. I then either just leave it as is, or put on pressed powder, or just go directly to eye makeup. Since it's good at evening out my complexion a bit, I've been going most of the the week without any pressed powder on concealer! Just this Gosh Prime 'n Set Powder, eye makeup, a little blush if needed, and a tinted spf lip balm (from Sugar), and off I go.

    I love any product that allows me to use less makeup...but makes me look good at the same time. My eye makeup does have better staying power then just using pressed powder alone. I've decreased the reliance on concealer and pressed powder to even out my skin tone, because this product does that.

    I love the product and would definitely recommend it. Well worth the price, that little container is going to last forever since I don't need much each time. :-) It takes a lot for me to give a glowing review. This would be the first product I have ever given 5 stars for each category.

    To everyone that has issues with their containers. Turn the plastic piece so the holes are showing, tap some product unto the lid , and then use a large brush to pick up the product on the lid. It's the same steps with mineral powders. You should not need much of it and it should last a very long time, you should not have any residue on your face or hairline (that's putting on too much), no product should get on your hands at all (since it should either be on the lid, the brush or your face).

    I got this free to review, and I must say I have never used this type of powder before, so I wasn't sure what to expect or how to use it really LOL. I was worried after opening the product that it would make me look pale, but it never did at all in fact it went on nice and smooth. I used it over top of my foundation and WOW it made my makup stay in place perefect and there was NO shine at all at the end of the day. It never smudged either compaire to my old prodcuts. The only thing i dont like is the container that it comes in becasue you can't take out the plastic piece you have to keep turning it to get the powder to come out or flip it over with the lid on and shake it to get the powerder to come out. I love this product and very impressed that it works on my oily skin and never cloges my pores. I will be buying this again and I recommend to anyone that wants to fix their shine and make there skin look AWESOME!

    I have mixed feelings about this product...

    It is so soft and you can visibly see where you put it and you can see it fill in your pores. I placed Moisturizer (i ran out of foundation!!) over top to see how well it would blend away and it dissapeared nicely.

    It also didn't CLOG my pores and cause acne like almost everything i put on my face does which is a huge bonus to me.

    However, this product is NOT for beginners, It got EVERYWHERE like in my hair line and just all over... also the container is a total pain! They put a lid on it that you cant remove and you have to turn in order to reveal the holes to get the powder, but you can barely get any and instead it sort of just gets all messed up in the container. You have to litterally turn it over and tap or shake it to get powder out and into your hand so you can then apply it. Which makes the containers effort for it not to spill and get everywhere utterly useless.

    If they change the container i would be much happier with this product.

    This GOSH powder is amazing. It is very light weight and set my make up perfectly without adding that cake feel that some can. and it adds a slight hi light to areas making it perfect for use around my eyes.
