I was checking out a Sephora ad online and was surprised to find that they sell BB Creams now!

Yes it's Dr. Jart, one of the well known brands of BB Creams in Asia. It's a Korean brand and I find it interesting that the labeling is slightly different from what they sell in Asia.

Another interesting thing, at Sephora.com, Dr. Jart BB Cream is also categorized under skincare, rather than foundation. Based on the description, it's more focused on treating and protecting the skin.
If you are new to BB Creams, I suggest trying it out at the store first (or with samples) because it comes in only one color, and it tends to be on the very fair side.
I was checking out the reviews to see how many are new to BB Creams vs. those who have used BB Creams before and it looks like a majority are BB Cream users.
Can't tell when Sephora first started selling Dr. Jart BB Cream but it looks to be about 4/17/11, based on the earliest review I found.
I'm pretty happy that Sephora carries the Dr. Jart for two skin types, regular/combo and dry skin.
+I actually have the Korean version of the Dr. Jart+ Premium Blemish Base Cream (Gold Label), but found it too thick, a bit drying and too light for my NC30 skin. Since I don't like to waste, I mix it with Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer (in Sand). The tinted moisturizer worked pretty well, it was a little dark for my skin and it added the moisture to the BB cream. :)
