Last week I was invited to a spotty event that I loved. I walked out of the elevator, followed the paw prints on the floor and was greeted by the lovely folk at Garnier and their spotty friend ‘Bolt’ the Dalmation puppy.
He was soft and cuddly and a little sleepy, but to my delight, happy for a little snuggle on the sofa.
So what’s with the spots? I was at Garnier to learn about their new Dark Spot Corrector.
I’ll actually be writing a sponsored post for them in the coming weeks, but I just couldn’t wait to share the intro to this crash test with you now so I made a quick video.
Now, be kind, I’m going totally naked faced here just so you can see how much I need this product to work!
Disclosure: I was invited to an event at Garnier thanks to Brands Meet Blog. I received both the Dark Spot Corrector and BB Cream for Oily/Combination skin to try.
Thank you for showing us a real before and after shot! I’ve been using their BB cream for a while and will definitely be trying this dark spot corrector. Having seen your skin in person you look flawless by the way, just like here in your aftershot. x

I’m so excited about the dark spot corrector if it can get rid of my brown lipliner! You’re too kind ;)
Good on you, Laney! Will be following along to see how the Dark Spot Corrector goes. And WOW. I’ve heard many great things about the BB cream, but have not tried it myself. I think I know what I’ll be buying next time I hit the shops… X

Thank Bec. Hey, there’s two versions of the Garnier BB cream. One for normal and one for oily/combination skin. Remember to pick the one that’s best for you. The new one (oily/combination) has a nice matte finish and you won’t need a powder.
Wow … that BB cream works a treat. You could notice the difference, before and after (only just Laney). Can’t wait for more results.

You’re a sweetie ;). The new BB cream has amazing coverage and so quick too! It’s perfect when you have, oh 2.5 seconds, before racing out the door!
I bought the BB cream a few weeks ago and I can’t stop raving about it. I’ve stopped using all my other foundations, concealers because I just don’t need them anymore. With the BB I have a healthy glow.

That’s great Alex! It’s so affordable too, so you must be saving a lot.
You’re a legend!
I’m looking forward to trying this product too. Have been using the bb cream for a few months, with the pure 1-3 cleanser, and my skin looks the best it has in a LONG time. Will be trying the new bb cream when I need to buy some more.

Thanks Vicky! I don’t know about legend, but I like to keep it real, no matter how confronting at times! Great to hear you’re getting good results with the BB cream.
Great post! How adorable was Bolt!
Can’t watch the whole video now as I’m on my mobile but from what I can see, your skin looks great ‘naked’! Can’t wait to see results from this product, I’m going to give it a fair go before blogging further! :)
Thanks Nalini :). Bolt was adorable. I wanted to take him home. My skin tends to be a bit red and blotchy naked, especially straight out of the shower. Good luck with your trials too :)
WOW you are one brave lady ! But one very beautiful lady (you have nothing to hide) I am inlove with the BB cream already and now I will be trying the dark spot correcter :) thanks lovely I’ll be following closely
Thanks Beck – it’s scary indeed, but happy to sacrifice myself for the greater good ;). I’m really looking forward to seeing how the dark spot corrector works. My skin is already feeling a lot softer and smoother.
You’re a gem Laney. Love it. :)
Caz’s last post..Mums to be, are you getting the nutrients you need?
Thanks Caz :).
What a brave, gorgeous woman you are! I have a lot of redness too, and I think I NEED BB CREAM! Wow! Thank you so much for sharing xx

You are such a gem, Laney. Loving a fellow ‘keeping it real’ blogger ☺. Hmm, I must investigate now – thanks for the heads-up! J x

Yeap I love the BB for exactly those reasons, I have no doubt that the spot cream will be just as great.

So did you use the brown spot cream AND the BB cream? Are they two different products? Do you use them at the same time? I’m hooked just from your promo! Can’t wait to give it a shot myself. Thanks for sharing your before and after too…… very brave :)

Hi Alli. In the video I haven’t started using the Dark Spot Corrector yet, just showing you why I need to! The last part is me just 30 seconds later after applying the BB cream. It has great coverage!
