Airdrie has been an avid beauty consumer ever since she was old enough to go to the mall. Childhood memories include Lip Smackers, Devon Violets perfume, and Cover Girl Shine-Free Pressed Powder. Her “happy-place” is at the spa, and she would go there weekly if she had the cash. The L&L Podcast is a labour of love. She earns her spending dollars as a high school mathematics teacher in Vancouver, B.C. She has two daughters, and a bloggable husband. Airdrie has been described as impulsive, energetic, and “far too worked-up.” Airdrie has a love-hate relationship with UV-Gel Nails.

How it all began: our history
Air and KA combined both their love of beauty products, and their disdain for media-driven unrealistic cultural beauty expectations for women, and channeled it all into Lip Gloss and Laptops. Makeup rocks, but we like to call attention to the fact that spending $30 on mascara is not going to change your life.
Lip Gloss and Laptops began in March of 2006, and is a podcast and blog about beauty products, and beauty culture, and the cosmetic industry. In August 2009, KA stepped-down as co-host, and now makes appearances periodically as a guest-host.
We’re also on Facebook. Join our Facebook group for Lip Gloss and Laptops, where we have discussion forums and the chance for fans of the show to chat.

Hello my favorite Canadian beauty bloggers! I have been a listener for a long time, and would love your help. I am visiting Toronto next week, and would love a recommendation on where I can get some nice highlights and a haircut. I’d love to go to a trendy place that is not too expensive. If you have a recommendation, I’d love to hear it.
Thanks and keep up the great shows.
