Hey ladies. The drugstore product of the day is the GOSH Velvet touch Foundation Primer. £12.00 from Superdrug.
So today i finished work and as usual I decided to browse the shops. I did some makeup shopping from Selfridges (Will review soon) and the woman at the YSL counter tried her best to flog me everything. All i could think of in my head was I wonder if i can bag a cheaper version in a drugstore.
I've never worn primer. Its never been a necessity, but I've heard loads about how it makes your makeup last longer and prevents it from smearing and melting off etc. It holds your makeup in place blah blah. So i decided to go into Superdrug. There i met a lovely assistant called Chloe. She was actually the manager there . We had a long chat about the many primers they had available and she told me an interesting fact: Ever wondered why GOSH is more expensive than the rest of the Superdrug brands? Well its because GOSH products are based on MAC products and are made by the same people who make MAC! WOW!
Then i had a look at the GOSH products. The packaging was very similar to that of MAC. The pigmentation was high in the makeup and it was all very good quality. One of the assistants their told me how she was OBSESSED with MAC and how the GOSH products are EXTREMELY similar to that of MAC at a fraction of the cost.
Anyway now about the product itself. I came home all excited, wiped off all my makeup and applied the primer to my face. WOW it was so soft and silky and glided onto my face to nicely. After i applied my Laura Mercia tinted moisturizer (You can apply foundation if you prefer) I noticed how all the fine lines had been filled in creating a matt and silky soft surface on my skin and the concealer etc glided onto my face so perfectly. My face looked FLAWLESS. It also gave a glow to my skin. I LOVED IT.
SPOTS??? When you apply makeup straight after your moisturizer your makeup sinks into your pores giving you spots. However when you apply primer this prevents this from happening. However always make sure you're not allergic to any of the ingredients.
USE WITH: Finish your look with translucent powder to give a matt finish and help the makeup look shine free and last even longer.
BONUS: Easy to use due to the pump.
REMEMBER: I am not a sales person for GOSH. I don't sell any of the items i put on the blog. We are no experts. We are just passing on our tips and knowledge from one girl to another.
