    I was lucky to be chosen for this awesome opportunity and received this as a GoshGoddess Chick Advisor tester for free. I have to say I never used primer in powder before so I was exited to try it. And i have to say I am very pleased with the results. It gives my skin more flawless and finished look. I would definitely recommend to try this product

    I received this Primer as part of the #GOSHGoddess promotion through the Product Review Club.

    So, I was SUPER excited to see that I received the prime 'n set powder. I've never used a primer before and was stoked to try it out. Unfortunately, my experience fell a bit flat. I really wanted to love this product because I've heard so many great things about primers - I don't know if it's just this one though or maybe my expectation was too high and all primers a like this, but overall, I didn't love the results.

    First, I put it under my foundation. Before I added my foundation (liquid BB cream) it felt super dry. Once I added, obviously my skin felt moist again, but I saw no difference in the end result.

    Then I thought, okay, maybe I need to use it as a setting powder. Now this was not good - for me anyway, the white powder just sat on my skin, making me look super fake pale and in particular drew attention to all the small blonde hairs I have (usually not at all noticeable).

    I'm going to continue to play with it and see if I can figure out how to make it work for me - will update my review if anything changes - it could very well be user error of not being familiar with this new type of product, but if that's the case, I also wonder if perhaps it needs better directions?

    I recieved the Gosh Prime 'n set Powder for free by ChickAdvisor | #chickadvisor @chickadvisorprc

    I am a great fan of primers, however I had never used a powder primer before.
    The powder is loose and silky, but it comes with a sieve and lock to help manage spills.
    Love the fact, that it is perfume and paraben free.

    After cleaning, I used a powder brush (my bareminerals brush) to apply on moisturised skin, before applying my liquid foundation.
    The skin feels silky on application. I then applied the foundation. I did not find any difference from that of a liquid primer or this powder primer.
    I also used it at the end after applying all my make up, to set it. I did find tiny bit of glitter granules on my face after applying it, but it was not that noticible, and went away. It did give a smooth finish to my makeup. Very happy with the results.
    Having the dry skin, I am glad that this did not aggreviate any dryness.
    This is a great alternative to more expensive setting powders.

    I did check it out at Shoppers Drug Mart and it retails at $20 taxes. The amount of product that comes in the container, I think it is a great price. I would purchase this and also recommend it.

    This is not something I ever would of bought. So happy I got the chance to give it a chance, because boy does this stuff work! I sometimes use just tinted moisturizer and combined with this it amps the staying power! No more shiny face!

    I've been using the prime 'n set for about a week and I'm very impressed with the results! As directed, I apply the powder under my makeup as a primer and a small amount after I've applied my make up to set it. It really does help keep my skin looking matte much longer. I saw a noticeable difference in the appearance of my pores. The powder is pure white (almost like baby powder) and I have very fair skin so I'm able to blend it in well. The color may be more noticeable on olive or darker skin tones. It's a great product I'm going to keep using!

    I have only ever used a gel primer before, not powder. And I only use it on my eyes since I don't wear foundation. It did keep my eye shadow in place when used as a primer, but not as well as the gel primer I usually use which costs a lot less. I wouldn't buy this product for myself, but thank you ChickAdvisor for the free sample to test. If you like powder primers, you'll probably really like this one though.

    This product is something I never would have purchased on my own, so I was pretty intrigued by it when I saw it was apart of the Gosh Goddess, Chick Advisor campaign! I got to try it FREE (lucky girl, right?!) and it's fantastic!

    I have used other primer powders in the past but always found they left my face feeling cakey. This one did NOT! It was very light; I applied it with a Kabuki like brush, in small circles until I reached my desired coverage. Then I applied my foundation & concealer. I love how light this is. It didn't feel like I was wearing as many layers as it does when I would use a liquid primer. My foundation covered so evenly WITHOUT having to apply multiple layers which was perfect for me as I like a full coverage without being able to notice that coverage! It fills in all your fine lines and pours without weighing them down with heavy creams/gels or other liquids. I also used it to set my makeup as it's a 2 in 1. I found that it had great longevity. I have combination skin leaning towards the oily side and I found that my entire look stayed put with little to NO shine for over 12 hours. I love how finely milled the powder is; it leaves your face feeling soft and fresh, not powdery and cakey!

    I would highly recommend this product. Another product I will be adding to my kit as an artist. The ability to PRIME & SET my clients makeup is cost and time saving for me! Plus I love the product myself so the one I got in this campaign will be staying in my secret beauty stash!

    I never used before a primer in powder so I got really curious to try it. I really liked this one because the GOSH Prime'n Set blends really well and made my skin really soft. Besides, I can use before and after the make up, so I loved. It held my make up for the whole night after a concert, but if you have a normal or dry skin like mine, before the primer is better if you use a facial lotion. The product packing design is also good and avoid you to make a mess with the powder. I got the product for free to try it on, but I research and the price is around $10, so worth every penny. I will definitely buy another when I finish mine because I'm using every day.

    I got the GOSH Prime & Set powder from Chickadvisor to review and it sounds like a nice product, but it just didn't work for me. I'm so used to a liquid primer, that this just gave me too much hassle. But if you are good with a powder brush, try it out!!
