And her budget-friendly beauty lesson number one might surprise you. “People usually think that celebrities use high-price items, big brands, and I don’t think that is necessary,” she says. “To be honest, my favorite mascara is Maybelline.” And it’s that love of a beauty bargain that fits right in with her new role. On of her favorite looks, she reveals, is “to put on a little bit of eyeliner and then smudge it out and get that whole smudgy, smoky look, and now you can do it with Q-Tips. You don’t need all of those make-up brushes. I used to clutter my counter with all of those make-up brushes and you can go right into it. It’s the perfect beauty solution.” Watch the video to hear more from Tori — including her favorite fashion obsessions.

She’s one of America’s most gorgeous women, and next month Jennifer Aniston will be getting the beauty recognition she deserves in the coveted cover-model spot on Elle magazine’s big September issue — and PEOPLE.com has a first look. In an exclusive interview inside, Jen dishes on her love life, friendships and life in Hollywood. “I’m not going to ignore the pink elephant in the living room,” she says of the media’s insistence that she’s lonely. “It’s fine. I can take it. If I’m the emblem for ‘this is what it looks like to be the lonely girl getting on with her life,’ so be it.” And she’s happy to help others who find themselves in a similar position. “I support women, men, anybody who is in a place that’s not their strongest and who is ready to push forward,” she says. But if you are more interested in the star’s style than her love life, click over to Elle.com now for an interview with her longtime hairstylist, Chris McMillan, who dishes on the secrets behind star’s much-imitated tresses. “I’ve been doing Jennifer’s hair forever. When I first met her, she had long, one-length hair with bangs, and she was like, ‘Don’t cut my hair — I want my hair long,’” he reveals. “I cut a couple inches off and layered it from her bangs down to the ends…The next thing you know, her bangs were down to her chin, and the rest of her hair was at her shoulders in these long, loose layers that sort of flipped out — and that’s what we called the Rachel.” Click here to read more about Jennifer’s hair how-tos — and her must-have products and hair styling tips at Elle.com.

Kelly, Blake, Bethenny and More Shop for a Cause at Super Saturday

Who says that stars don’t love a bargain? Celebrities and bargain-hunters alike enjoyed frenetic, elbows-out shopping at the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund’s 12th annual Super Saturday, which took place at Nova’s Ark Project in Water Mill. Power shopper Barbara Walters was one of the first to peruse merchandise as the gates opened at noon. By 3:20 pm, a booth stocked with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen‘s The Row was “sold out,” according to an announcer on a loudspeaker. “I took the last three shirts,” mentioned Kelly Ripa. She had on a flowing patterned dress by Etro that she said she had fallen in love with when Nicole Richie was on her show in a similar design. “I’m proud of [The Row],” said Ripa. “They have a vision. I got whatever was left over in my size.” Hosted by Blake Lively and Ripa, rows of booths covered by colorful straw umbrellas offered up high fashion — Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Diane von Furstenberg, Armani, Ralph Lauren, and Tory Burch — at rock bottom prices to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. Nearby, Gayle King assessed the deals. “The shopping is good,” she told PEOPLE. “I don’t need one thing, but I’m a girl who loves a bargain, so I wore comfortable shoes. You’re shopping for a good cause, but it’s the thrill of the hunt. I just got a Carolina Herrera dress that was $1790 for $350. I have no idea where I’m going to wear it, but it doesn’t matter!” With beau Jason Hoppy and dog Cookie at her side, Bethenny Frankel of The Real Housewives of New York City was looking to cover up at the beach. “I bought a Michael Kors bathing suit called a “swimming dress,” she mentioned.
