Vanessa hit the beach yesterday (19th July) in the aid of Neutrogena’s Wave for Change with GlobalGiving. In a Missoni dress, V was joined by her fellow Neutrogena spokeswoman Hayden Panettiere to kick start the new venture. According to the Official Facebook, “For each Wave Sonic or Pink Grapefruit Oil-Free Acne Wash you buy, $1 will be donated to GlobalGiving (up to $200,000)”. You can also take the ‘Wave For Change’ quiz on the Facebook Fan Page to help decide which causes recieve the money.
