Act II: Garnier's BB Cream

Garnier's B.B. (Beauty Balm) $11.99

Recently I reviewed Garnier's  B. B. cream, an all in one cream that hydrates, blurs imperfections, imparts a wash of sheer color and includes SPF 15. (http://divadebbi.blogspot.com/2012/04/bbs-are-all-buzz.html)).

BB's hail from Europe and based on their popularity, I think we will see versions from every cosmetics company from prestige to mass.

Garnier's BB cream comes in two shades.  Naturally, I used the darker one and I quite like it. 

As I enter my second sun shunning summer, I glanced down at my legs last week and sighed.  I missed having real color on my legs, despite using Jergen's Natural Glow and Protect Firming Body Lotion daily. 

Then inspiration struck...

Jergens Natural Glow & Protect SPF 20

Jergens Natural Glow and Protect
$8.99 at drugstores nationwide

As a longtime breast cancer survivor, I could never turn down a pitch that includes the opportunity to raise money to support the eradication  cancer, of any kind.  When it turned out to also be for Jergens Natural Glow and Protect, a product I immediately purchased when I spotted it on a CVS run a  few weeks back, it was a total no brainer.

Since giving up my lifelong habit of tanning last summer, I turned to Jergens Natural Glow, a moisturizer infused with self tanner, to keep me from looking like the under belly of a tuna all summer.  I was thrilled to achieve a rich healthy glow, that didn't require more effort that applying my regular after shower moisturizer.  I liked the results so much, I am now using it year round. The addition of SPF 20 was inspired, and I predict other makers will soon follow suit. 

The following is information I received about film star Anna Farris and her participation in online media event that will raise awareness and money to protect for the Skin Cancer Foundation.  Read below to find out how you can get involved:
