This is one of the products that I use the most out of the GOSH panel kit that I received.
While I tend to prefer a pressed powder over a loose one I do enjoy the coverage and effective blending that this powder provides.
The packaging features a plastic stopper under the lid to reduce waste, it has holes in one half of the surface area and a little plug that twists back and forth to open and close it when needed. I do find it a tad hard to load my powder brush up fully with the plug in the way, however it really does reduce waste by a lot so I can deal.
It doesn't have much of a scent, in fact it smells very unscented indeed, which I, personally enjoy. I don't care for heavily scented make-up. The coverage is good, and it blends very easily and naturally. It helps even out my skin tone and reduce shine without making me look dry or flaky. It also helps to minimize imperfections like large pores and redness yet allows my freckles to show keeping my skin looking natural and not like I have make up caked on.
The colour of mineral powder matches my skin tone to a tee. I don't know how to put it on though. I use a brush but I find it sticks to one spot and it's hard to spread it out. The covere is good and I had compliments on my skin. This is going to last a long time
This product is not for me. It didnt cover well for me unfortunately. It made my face look too fake.
I would suggest a friend try it to see how it works for them. It just wasnt for me. I received the product for free to review.
I have tried the IN 004. I think this mineral powder worked really well to prevent the skin from becoming oily. My preference is usually a pressed powder, as I find loose powder can get a little messy. This powder has no perfume scent in it, so if you have an allergy to perfumes this will work well for you. With loose powders you don't have to worry about your makeup breaking if you drop or travel with it, as it is already loose so this would make it perfect for traveling. I would say this is a pretty good powder, it is a little heavier on the face but that tends to happen with loose powder. Personally I prefer lighter layer of powder on my skin. To people who do not care for a heavier makeup, I would not recommend. Although I do agree with Gosh with their description about coverage.
I received the product for free in order to write a review in exchange. I received no financial compensation for writing my review. This is my completely honest opinion and may be different from yours.
I have always used compact powders previously and I was very happy with the results from this loose mineral powder. Coverage was light feeling but covered effectively. It reduced overall shine and redness.
I loved the feel of this powder on my face. Natural looking and very light on the skin. It hid my flaws very well without making my face look like I was actually trying to cover something.
This was the first time ever using a mineral powder!
I loved how the one I was sent was the perfect colour 004, I am very fair and most of the time I have a hard time finding something that matches.
I loved the feeling of this powder. I loved how light it was and didn't feel like it was clogging my pours!
I let my mom try it as well and she was in LOVE!
The colour, the feeling, the effectiveness was just right!!
I received GOSH's Mineral Powder through the Chick Advisor product review club and as someone who uses powder on a daily basis I was excited to try something new.
On the pro side I really liked the color of the powder. Some powders can look chalky or have a tinge of white to them but this went on looking nice and natural. I also liked to container it came in. The original opening was a bit messy but after that I liked the control the container gives you over how much powder is available at once. It is never a good idea to have too much powder on your brush.
There were two main cons for me. One of the main reasons I use powder is my oily skin. While GOSH's Mineral Powder covered any shiny areas to begin with I found that the shine came back fairly quickly. The second con for me was that if you use too much powder (ie for covering those shiny areas) it can quickly become obvious you are wearing powder.
This mineral powder had a few pros and a few cons but I think on the whole I would probably give it a try again. It was really the natural looking color that sells it for me.
It was great for combating a shiny face but I had to be careful about how I opened the product because the first time I made a little bit of a mess and lost some product. It is great as a final touch over foundation or just to get rid of shine which I mostly used it for.
I received the Gosh Mineral Powder free as a Product Review Club member and after trying it a few times, I really like this product. The mineral powder is very light and easy to apply. Usually only one application is enough to cover most of my imperfections. I like that it feels like I'm not wearing any makeup at all, and I don't get that caked on look that most liquid foundations produce. The powder lasts all day so I don't have to go powder my nose all the time. I did find that the colour I used was too light for my skin tone so I did end up using more bronzer than I usually do but I'll just buy a darker shade next time. This mineral powder produces the best results than the other mineral powders I've used in the past.
