The secret of Jen's new look?
Jennifer Aniston has not only been showing off her hot new tomboy, John Mayer (who famously dated Jessica Simpson and Cameron Diaz), but she has a hot new toned body to match.
Ok, so Jen has always had an enviable figure (all you have to do is catch Friends on E4 for the proof), but these days we want Jen's figure even more! More lean and toned than ever, Jennifer has been hitting the gym in Miami where she has just finished filming her new flick Marley and Me, but she has also been using Pomegranate Power. Packed full of anti-oxidents, Pomegranate Power is a supplement which claims to work by detoxing your body to get a more contoured shape by reducing cellulite and boosting your metabolic rate, which is possibly why Jen's exercise regime seems to be working even harder for her recently.
The £11.99 capsules also promise to replace the need for face serums, giving you a glowing complexion. And we thought it was her new relationship that had given her a rosy glow!
Pomegranate Power, £11.99 for 60 capsules, available from Superdrug stores nationwide.

From their Paris offices Chanel have announced that French actress Audrey Tatou will replace Nicole Kidman as the new face of Chanel No. 5, one of the fashion house's most iconic scents.
A new ad campaign and television commercial will be shot by Jean -Pierre Jeunet, the man who directed Tatou in her oscar nominated role in the film Amelie.
And after the last, spectacular No.5 ad, which had Nicole Kidman starring in a 5 minute mini film directed by her Moulin Rouge director Baz Lurhman we're expecting something wonderful!

Newsflash: Oscar nominated actress Naomi Watts has been signed up as the new face of Thierry Mugler's signature scent, Angel.
The Australian actress, best friend to Nicole Kidman who had a baby (Alexander) with her film star fiance Liev Schreiber last year, will front ad campaigns for the iconic scent from October, but there is no word yet as to who will shoot the new campaign.
Naomi previously starred in a campaign for luxury U.S jeweller David Yurman, shot by fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh.

Since new airline regulations now prevent us from taking toiletries over 100ml in our hand luggage, we’ve been on the quest to find the perfect mini sized travelling companians of all our favourite products.
We all love minis, but so much plastic packaging for a drop of product is not exactly the most eco friendly way to transport toiletries, especially when many popular holiday destinations do not recycle ( Greece, Thailand etc). So this summer at ELLE we're leading the charge for putting in some effort, buying super sized and decanting. On the high street Boots, Marks and Spencer and The Bodyshop all make great sets of empty, 100ml, bottles and we heart Bobbi Brown’s super chic set which even comes complete with a funnel for mess-free decanting.
If you really don't have the time, we've also found some great mini travel kits on the market that do their bit for the environment. The Natural Spa Company, Florane and Trilogy (who are a carbon neutral company) all use organic ingredients in their specially sized travel bottle sets, which are made from recycled and recyclable mini bottles. The bottles can also be refilled to use again and again.
Almost all of the Dr Hauschka products come in 100ml or under bottles which are recyclable, plus they have fair-trade initiative projects in Burkina Faso in West Africa, where they source Shea Butter and in Romania where they grow roses for their iconic Rose Day Cream – eco friendly and helping to make the world a better place.
And if you want to completely avoid mini bottles all together, head to Lush.They stock shower gels and shampoos which are solid, which means no airport liquid restrictions to worry about. These solids all fit on to the Lush Travel Roll, a wash bag specifically designed to house all the solids you’ll need for holiday.

Not only are Alexa Chung and Peaches Geldof massive fans of Urban Outfitters, which is reason enough for us to frequent the store in the hope of emulating Ms Chung's enviable style, but now the quirky high street store has revealed to ELLEuk.com that they are launching a brand new line of nail polishes.
Models Own is a new and edgy nail polish brand which is the result of a collaboration between brothers Mark and Steven Rodol (who's dad Ivor just happened to own the Coty perfume company). Being born in to a beauty dynasty has inspired the brothers to create a brand with quality, fitting of their heritage. The polishes are not only quick-drying and hard wearing, but they have pioneered the idea of 'quick cosmetics' to sit alongside the 'fast fashion' adage, they aim to have seasonal, cutting edge shades on the shelves in a matter of weeks rather than months (remember when we had to wait ages last year for that perfect matte grey shade...) The achingly cool shades already in the range include black, grey, navy and peach, but it looks like you will soon be able to match all your Urban Outfitters purchases to a new nail shade, and at a purse friendly £6 each you can stretch to a new shade with each new outfit!
Models Own launches in to Urban Outfitters stores on May 19. Click here to visit the Urban Outfitters website.
