Last week I purchased GOSH Velvet Touch Foundation Primer from Superdrug.

I paid around £12. Although the 3 for 2 offer is still on if you want to take advantage of that :)

The actual primer itself applies very well, it is silky and smooth, reminded me a lot of Smashbox’s which I use from time to time. It is unperfumed and doesn’t feel overly greasy.
However almost immediately I noticed spots coming out on my chin and forehead. I washed it off but the damage was done, next morning I had a very angry spot and a few threateners under the skin. Tbh by this stage I thought it was worth trying it again for another two days just to be sure it was definitely the primer my skin was reacting with, after all the spots were already there.

I can safely say 100% that the primer caused my spots. I have stopped use as of today and will be sticking with my Laura Mercier, although more pricey its worth it to me.

I don’t think this is a bad product and I have a feeling it would do particularly well on a dry skin type. However I am classic combination skin, very dry on my cheeks, but very oily T-zone and this is the area that reacted.

I’ve put it up for swap on Slapswap if anyone wants to see if they have more success with it (actually its already been snapped up, saavy swappers!!) xoxo
