We’re told there are a few things every woman should have sorted out before reaching the Dirty Thirty: a go-to scent, a tailored skincare regime and a real coffee table instead of stacks of old mags.

What’s a summer beauty product I can splurge on?
Treating yourself doesn’t have to mean splurging on something that serves little to no purpose. Instead, get major bang for your buck and buy something that can be used in multiple ways. Aerin Beach Cream ($50, esteelauder.ca) can be used as a post-sun body hydrator, leaving behind a hint of bronze tint with incredibly subtle shimmer, or it can be applied to hair as a conditioning treatment while you’re still in the sun, as heat activates the treatment, leaving hair soft and shiny. If you’re in a pinch, a tiny dab can be used on cheekbones for a bit of radiance. The cream is infused with rose-based floral fragrance that will help you freshen up after a day in the sun.

Is it possible to wear retinol during the day?
We’re encouraged to apply retinol at night for multiple reasons. First off, your skin is more receptive to active ingredients (like retinol) at night because it’s entered a reparative state. Secondly, retinol can make skin sensitive to sun, so daily SPF application is crucial when you’re dabbing on the retinol at night. All that being said, if you combine an SPF with a retinol, rules can indeed be broken. StriVectin-AR Advanced Retinol Day Treatment SPF 30 ($109, murale.ca) is the ultimate daytime face product. Not only does it work to reverse wrinkles and fine lines, it will even out skin tone, refine texture and fight off UVA and UVB damage, all without irritating skin. Quite the multitasking product to put into your daily rotation!

See what’s inside Aerin Lauder’s makeup bag »

For anyone who’s ever wondered what it’s like inside a beauty dynasty, this one’s for you. Today, we present the makeup bag (and it’s belongings!) of none other than beauty mogul Aerin Lauder. As heir to the Estée Lauder throne, Aerin Lauder has been at the helm of her grandmother’s company for years. Now she’s launched it’s newest chapter: Aerin, a lifestyle brand which will feature beauty, accessories and home décor. In town last month for the unveiling of her line last month at Holt Renfrew, Lauder whipped open her makeup bag for us to get a peek at how the other half gets prepped. As it turns out? She favours her own creations. But what else would you expect from one of the beauty industry’s most discerning doyennes?
