    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 this mascara for free with a Gosh testing pack from Chick Advisor.

    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.

    I received this product as member of the product review club. I have never used a primer before. So my review is only based on my experience with this one! It goes on nice and adds a Pearlescent sheen to my skin....which I don't personally like. But its not heavy and doesn't feel like I have layers and layers of make up on. If you like priming and setting your make up, then I would recommend it. For me personally I dont think I would spend the extra money on it.

    I loved this product. I do not often use a primer as I am pretty lazy when it comes to makeup but after trying this I will never use foundation again without a primer. My face looked flawless.

    Got this Prime n Set powder for free so I am not sure about the price.

    I like how this powder is both a primer to minimize my pores and leaving my makeup with a matte finish, as well as a setting powder to keep my makeup looking fresh even at the end of the day. The silky texture of the powder is definitely a plus point.

    I recieved this as part of a free product review. I've never used this type of product before so I have no comparison. I will say this after a bit of research to out exactly how to use it I set to work. Easy to use and apply I find it did exactly as advertised. I like the feel of it. I am a fan of a matte look and I would definitely use this again to help achieve it. A !

    Received this as a sample to review. I have never used this type of powder before, so I wasn't sure what to expect or exactly how to use it. I was worried it would make me look pale, but it didn't seem to. It did smooth out my skin, and could be used on its own if you don't care for foundation or don't have the time. Worked well as a proper primer, and set well. I liked it, and think it helped, not a huge necessity though.

    I was lucky to get the chance to review Gosh's Prime n' Set product and I have used a couple different similar products over the years so I was suuuper pumped to try this one.
    First things first, the packaging of course I found it pleasing, love the black white and pink. Enjoy the multiple holes inside the product so you get to decide what amount you want to dispense (that is one issue I have had to deal with previous products similar to this) So packaging is a major win.
    I find this was great as a primer or a setting powder, if i did use this for both and a light foundation it was too much for me personally but I don't like a lot of product on my face.
    I have oily skin so this really took the shine out, it didn't last a crazy 24 hours or anything but it sure lasted a good day while I was out at work,normally I would have shine by halfway through the day.
    There is a lot of product in this container as well so it will last a really long time. Nothing but pros in my eyes.
    I was extremely pleased with this product, no weird smell. Feels velvety soft.
    I will continue to use this,purchase as well as recommend :)
