Jennifer Aniston has already shown her love for hair care through her partnership with brand Living Proof, and now the actress is moving further into the beauty biz. "We can confirm that Jennifer Aniston will be partnering with Aveeno for skincare," the actress's rep, Stephen Huvane, told E! News. "You can expect to see the results of this collaboration later this year." This announcement comes some time after rumours of the deal leaked last year. She also previously dabbled in hair colour with L'Oréal and fragrance. But this Aveeno deal proves that from her enviable hair to her glowing skin, Jennifer Aniston takes her beauty seriously.
When it comes to washing your face, it seems as if there are countless ways to get the job done. And the biggest rivalry is perhaps between face wipes, like Johnson's 3-in-1 Cleansing Wipes ($16.99), and cleansers, like Aveeno Ultra Calming Foaming Cleanser ($13.99). Are they interchangeable or does one way of washing reign supreme? To get the low down, just keep reading.

We don't want much from our eye products. Just a little de-puffing, fixing of dark circles, brightening, concealing and maybe helping us fake a few extra hours sleep. That's not too much to ask is it? Luckily it isn't with these crop of recent releases. The trouble is, which one is so good that it's going to be crowned Best Eye Product in the 2012 BellaSugar Australia Beauty Awards? Will it be Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Premiere Intense Moisture and Renewal Regeneration Eye Cream which helps to strengthen the delicate skin around the eye area as well as reducing the appearance of puffiness, dark circles and crows feet, Aveeno Positively Radiant Eye Illuminator which features vitamin B3 and light diffusion technology to help your eyes look fresh and, Simple Kind to Eyes Eye Make Up Corrector Pen, a precision-point eye makeup remover pen, Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Eye, a fragrance-free product that targets fine lines, under-eye circles and puffiness or Lancôme Rénergie Multiple Lift Volumetry Yeux Eye Duo which features a firming and de-puffing cream as well as an illuminating concealer?

2012 BellaSugar Australia Beauty Awards: Vote For the Best Eye Product
High levels of the stress hormones cortisol, referred to as the "anti-sleep" hormone, and adrenalin in our bodies are two of the major contributing factors when it comes to sleep deprivation. The day-to-day pressures of work, family, friends and life cause our bodies to release higher levels of cortisol, which is bad news when it comes to bed time. The worst part about it? Once we're concerned that we aren't getting enough sleep, we choose that as something else to add to our "stress list," resulting in even less sleep. Here's a few ways to beat stress before bedtime and get your well-deserved beauty sleep.

"I really enjoyed using the Aveeno Positively Radiant Tinted Moisturiser. I found it the perfect product to use on the weekend, especially as I wear heavy makeup during the week to work. It was easy to apply and I didn't find that I had any streaky marks over my face, as I have an extremely fair skin tone. My favourite part about this product was that it absorbed into my skin well and remained in place for the duration of the day, and it's subtle light-reflecting particles gave my an extra glow. I wish that it had an SPF factor of 30, but I will still continue to use it. I would definitely recommend this product to my friends." — Michelle

"I have really dry skin, so when I got sent the Aveeno Positively Radiant Tinted Moisturiser, I was interested to see how my skin would react to it, and whether it would clump around the dry patches like the other tinted moisturisers I have tried in the past. Fortunately, this product was the perfect match for me. I have olive skin, so I found that when I mixed both the light and medium variations, I got a good colour. I also liked the light-reflecting particles, as they gave me an extra glow. I still applied a little blush after using it, but this is definitely my weekend makeup, especially when I don't want to have to apply a full face of makeup. I would definitely buy this again." — Rachel

"The texture of the Aveeno Positively Radiant Tinted Moisturiser was nice and soft, and I found it quite easy to blend out. It has a faint floral scent, which I didn't mind as I don't have a particularly sensitive nose, so I was ok with it. I liked the tint — I used the medium colour which I thought would be too light but when blended out it fit quite well with my skin. I also found that there were light-reflecting particles that definitely gave me a subtle but still radiant glow. I didn't find that the colour deepened on my skin, but that could also be due to the heat interstate! I also only ever use tinted moisturisers and foundations with SPF, so that was definitely a plus in my book. The new-look packaging is great, it has a more luxe, up-market feel to it which I think will help when marketing the brand. The only change I would make is that I did find the product a little bit oily on my skin, but that could be from the way my skin is (combination). Otherwise, I like the product and I will certainly look at other Aveeno products now!" — Valerie
