World’s Best Programmer: Tabs the Cat.
Programmer, gamer, hacker, creator of famous 8-bit graphical works of art — not to mention world-renowned plus-size kitty supermodel.
Tabs sent a very important email last night…an email that could change the course of history and alter the fabric of space and time, at least as it pertains to plus-size kitty supermodeling and professional gaming.
It was an email sent to Satoru Iwata, the current president of Nintendo corporation, the world’s largest video game company by revenue, and it starts with the line, “Let me resurrect Donkey Kong.”
Unbeknownst to me before last night, Tabs actually has an honorary degree in computer programming from NIT (the Novato Institute of Technology).
You see, back before he got into modeling, even before his stint as a construction worker, Tabs was a famous script kitty… Actually, he was the scr1ptki77y, otherwise known as the cat who hacked the PetCo corporate network, which was believed to be impregnable at the time.
Anyway, Tabs gave up hacking and transitioned to kitty modeling shortly after the PetCo incident, when it started looking like the authorities were closing in on him.
This was a few years ago, and since then the statute of limitations on kitty hacking expired, and so Tabs is now comfortable publicly discussing this part of his past…
In the email to Iwata, Tabs included the first 500 lines of code for his new game engine, which he claims is so sophisticated that it makes Halo and Call of Duty look like Pong.
Time will tell, I guess. If Iwata responds and offers a coding job to Tabs, Makeup and Beauty Blog may be going on temporary hiatus…
If that happens, this could be one of the last Sephora eGift card giveaways for a while. You better enter this one right now, just in case. 🙂
What folks are saying…
“What a lovely surprise it was to see your announcement (after completing one of many exams/papers/projects I have this crazy week)! The eCard will definitely ease expenses for this broke, beauty-obsessed college student. Thank you, Karen and Tabs!!”
-Katie“Thanks so much, Karen. Just in case you were wondering what I got with it, I decided to go with the Clarisonic Mia–I’ve been wanting it for years now, but have never purchased it because of the price. Your eCard helped me finally buy it! I look forward to using it. Thanks again!”
-Jane“Shut the front door! OMG Karen, you have made my day. 🙂 I’m sick in bed with the flu and this has just cheered me up immensely!!!!!!!! BTW, I’m the one that sent you that pic of my pug in a wig a few weeks back LOL! Thanks again, honestly, I’m beyond giddy right now.”
-Angel“Thank you SO much Karen! OMG! Wishes really do come true! I can’t believe I won! You have no idea how much this will help me through the holidays. I’ve been an avid fan of your blog for the past two years. Your witty and creative entries, informative makeup information, and beautiful photos have kept me hooked. I look forward to more of it. Goodness, you’ve
seriously just made my week and it’s only Tuesday night!”
-Zharlynne“Oh my goodness! Thank you so much Karen (and Tabs, of course)! I really appreciate this! I’d been eyeing the Anastasia brow pencil in Strawburn to match my red hair!”
-Chelsea (and Jiji the kitten and Quincy the bunny)“Hi Karen. Thank you so much, I’m so excited, I’ve never won anything before. My name is Hana … I just turned 25 (today is my birthday!) Yay! Thank you.”
-Hana

Black Friday definitely kicked my butt. SO tired!

terry says
Definitely online… Many cheap deals to be scored.=DDD
jaymie says
I do most of my makeup and beauty shopping in store. I think its too risky for me to purchase something i’m unsure of (such as color matching, texture, and size). But, if i know exactly what i want and it is offered at a better price or deal online, i will order it.
Agata says
I am not a big fan of any video games. I prefer shopping in store for beauty products but I love browsing beauty sites online. I love Sephora and Ulta.

My favourite video game of the moment is Kingdom Hearts!
MarÃlia says
I usually shop for make up online, since prices in my country are so absurd due to import taxes…you help me a lot with your swatches and reviews! 🙂
Siyana says
Video games are awesome, except as you grow older theres less time to play.

Yukari says
I browse online but do almost all of my makeup shopping in store. I try to think in advance and get things from Shoppers when they are having their 20x point events! Their beauty boutique near my house has most of the brands I buy 😀
Libby says
The internet is the impetus of most of my makeup obsessions; but I have to see things in person before I’m willing to buy usually.

And I swear, I’m not a complete nerd!

Nicolle says

Rosa says
I love black friday shopping (as stressful as it may be)… and its just the beginning of all the splurges yet to come!
Maria J. Cardoza says
I do more of my beauty shopping in stores unless it’s unavailable or sold out, but I normally like to feel out any high-end products in person. When it’s drugstore, If I’ve already used it I can order it online or shop for it online.
Jennifer Pham says
Favorite videogame to date is Persona 3–awesome story, characters that you care for, fun . . . just thinking about it makes me want to go play Persona 4 now!

My favorite beauty brand website is Bobbi Brown – I could surf around for hours, and the looks are so helpful!
Avery says

Tabs is a HERO to my kitties!
Nora says
My kitties LOVE Tabs! 🙂
kalcedon says
I like buying makeup in stores more. I love the whole shopping experience, testing the stuff out, swatching them, touching them, looking around… I even prefer paying in cash.
Carol says
My all time favorite video game is The Longest Journey. It’s an older PC adventure game from 2000 but it has a really interesting storyline, puzzles, and graphics. There’s a sequel called Dreamfall for PC and XBOX but I prefer the original.
And right now I’m about to start the LEGO Lord of the Rings video game for XBOX360. Love the LEGO series of action-adventure video games. They basically parody famous movies like Star Wars, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, etc. with LEGO characters. Really, funny, cute games.
Rikki says
Pokemon and Sims 3 are my top two games for quite a while now.
Laura says
I like shopping online because I love fragrance samples. I don’t like buying actual large bottles I’ll probably never finish.
Zoey says
I do most of my shopping in a store, because I prefer to try before I buy.
Hannah S. says
I have always suspected my cat’s “random” steps all over my keyboard weren’t quite so random.

Love the Professor Layton games!

Jenny D says
Today’s plan: finally play some Assassin’s Creed III!
Katie says
Although I’m a huge comic book geek, I’ve never really gotten into video games. But one time I got stuck at the Catalina Ferry Terminal in Long Beach on a school field trip for several hours, and I ended up passing the time playing an old arcade console Dead or Alive. I got pretty good at it after a while!
Kiara says
Usually shop online for the deals!
Janet says
Hi Karen! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I loved the pics of your feast. So true about the amount of food we cook as Filipinos. My husband is white and whoa-nelly if his eyes didn’t pop out of his head when he came to his first Filipino party. Sooooo much foooood! 🙂
Vnssa906 says
Duck Hunt for super Nintendo!

Sephora AND Ryan Gosling!? It’s TOO much!!

onegreatsmile says
I still manage to write addresses on envelopes upside down. I can’t even imagine programming something!!
Jenny says
Favorite video game? Ahh! That’s like asking what my favorite lipstick is. How can I choose? I suppose, at the moment, I really love the Mass Effect series. Wonderful storyline, even better characters, and the fighting system ain’t half bad. I also love Portal and the modern Nancy Drew PC games. As for old school… well, you can’t go wrong with some Super Mario Bros 3, but I can’t forget Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy VI. Ah, the memories.
Amy says
Love Sephora, don’t forget to get your birthday gift from them each year!!! Mines next week.

Sophie says
The world’s best programmer! Is there anything Tabs cannot do? LOL!!!
Nicole O. says
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Video games are not really my cup of tea because I suck at them. Haha. However, I do occasionally like to play Super Mario Smash Bros & The Simpsons: Road Rage.
Joanna says
My all time favorite video game would be Devils May Cry 1,2 and 3 as well as Blood Rain. I blame my hubby for my love of video game 🙂

My favorite of all time would be a tie between astroids and pac man. Now I love all the Mario games. Thanks for the chance to win 🙂
Christy says
Super Mario or Mario Cart!
Toby says
The original Super Mario World remains my favourite game of all time. I definitely imprinted on it, so platformers are still one of my favourite games. I do quite like RPGs, though, & most of my recent gaming has been in Guild Wars 2.
Jocelyn says
Started my Christmas shopping today. It is so hard to not hit the MAC counter for myself 🙁

Kaley Jamnik says
My all-time favorite video game is Oblivion, the prequel to Skyrim!

I love my Clarisonic, and I need to get back to regularly using it! As for beauty shopping, I’ll check out the products in stores and get samples but I usually order online from the US (I live in Canada) because it’s so much cheaper that way!
Heidi says
I prefer to do my makeup shopping in person, so I can test and really see the colors. But if there’s something I can’t find locally and I know I want it, or a site is having a huge sale, I’ll order online.
Katrina says
I do most of my makeup/beauty supply shopping online. I live in a small town so it’s just easier.
Mandy says
Love this giveaway!
Judy says
my cat and her new cat friend resolved their territorial dispute in less than 24 hours!! it’s a miracle~

I guess I do about half my makeup shopping in store and half online. If it is a staple that I have been wearing for years, like Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer, I definitely buy online.
E. says
I really love the NARS website.
Deb says
I have a Clarisonic, and I love it, but I should use it more often. It does an amazing job cleaning and exfoliating my skin at the same time.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Jasmine says
I like to go to the store and try out products. If it’s something I always use and run out I’ll online shop. Reviews are definitely helpful while online shopping though.
Janelle says
All time favorite video game: Super Smash Brothers. Favorite video game for now: Nintendoland.
Hyzenthlay says
I programmed Legoes with an Apple 2E back when I was in 8th grade. We made a robotic lawn mower that didn’t need someone to work it. It had a light sensor that faced down and recognized the difference between cement and grass and would turn around and a push sensor on the front that was activated when the mower hit a wall and then turn. It wasn’t a “real” lawn mower, but we did have the sensors working correctly 🙂
PS says
I like my clarisonic.
Mina says
Ryan Gosseling Swoon!!
Sophie C. says
Aaaah Karen you’re so generous haha 🙂

AmyD says
gotta return my mufe hd foundation in 153, it’s too light for me! 🙁
Becca @ The Beauty Sample says
I do more beauty shopping in-stores–nothing beats being able to touch and play with the products in person! If I do purchase online, I tend to be a very cautious buyer
Jessica says
Thanks for the opportunity to win! I can’t believe it is starting to snow already!
Katherine G says
I do a lot of my beauty buys in the store. I like being able to see it and look at how the color looks against my skin before buying. If I purchase makeup online, it’s usually for something I’ve bought before and just need a replacement or it’s for online deals only (like some of the Urban Decay stuff).
Jill says
ugh, i used to have to write script to program surveys at my old job…so glad i don’t have to do that now!
Jaa Maurer says
I like angry birds, I have all version lol =D
Annaham says
I use an electric toothbrush for brushing, but that’s it.
Carolyn N. says
I need to get a replacement head for my Clarisonic

Kate & Zena says
Happy Saturday!
Nancy says
Happy shop small Saturday!

I shop a lot online, but the occasional trip to a Sephora store is fun too.
Natalie says
What’s your favorite brand of Mascara?
Claudia says
Sephora is just so awesome!
elfa says
I’ve been shopping online mostly for inexpensive cosmetics, but I have been seriously lemming some higher end skin care items at sephora!
Andrea says
I’m kinda bummed there were no new episodes of parks and rec this week!
April says
I do love online shopping
Bunny says
Me do computer-type…. things? hahaha
Not so much!
Melody says
Thanks for the giveaway! Happy Saturday 🙂
Joy says
I like a lot of the old school games, classic Mario Brothers and Mario-Kart. Although the new game on the WiiU is pretty fun. I’ve been playing that this week. I do code but not on a regular basis. My husband is a software developer and several of my exes also were computer science/engineer so I’m familiar with a lot just by helping them. My geeky-ness lies elsewhere. 🙂
Lori says
Favorite beauty brands website? It’s a tossup between Urban Decay, Tarte and Bare Minerals for me. 🙂
Selinabikechick says
Wow! Love the graphics! My all-time favorite game is Space Invaders. Oldie but goodie. My favorite game now is angry birds. I know right? I’m determined to make perfect scores! I’ve never written an entire program, but I did create a website template for a humane society so they can easily add their own content. As for shopping, I do both real live and online. I don’t used any beauty electric devices…too many cords spell trouble with a pet rabbit in the house. Uh, 8 bits are in a byte. Lol And as for Technology, it just keeps getting cooler with time. Pretty soon we won’t have to apply makeup, either a robot will do it or we can walk around with holograms on our faces. 🙂 Thank you for an awesome giveaway!
Rebecca says
After watching a YouTube video of a retired psychology professor who taught his dog the names of 1,000 different toys and to retrieve each of them on command, I am now trying the same thing with my 13-year-old puppy. It’s not going well.
Ceci says
I use a clarisonic, but I haven’t seen the incredible results that have made the clarisonic famous.
Terri B says
I only want to comment on how awesome that Ryan and Sephora picture is. Too funny!
Tina Renee says
I use the Clarisonic twice a week on my face and occasionally on my elbows (I have a special brush attachment for knees & elbows, etc.)
Nicole says
I do almost all of my beauty shopping online – there aren’t any brick & mortar stores anywhere near where I live.
tina says
mmm ryan gosling!! 🙂
Jennifer says
Hi Karen-
I, too, went to NIT, but in the old days we called it Indian Valley Jr. College. I’m a few years older than Tabs, so I’m sure he matriculated long after me. Great school, beautiful campus back in the day.
Jenni
Rita O. says
Hope you have a good weekend 🙂
Bernice says
I loove your photoshopping skills!
Miriam says
Instore! Instant gratification….
Charisse says
I just recently splurged and added the Clarisonic Mia to my beauty regimen. So far, I’m loving it.
Jenn S. says
Ohhh, I wrote a very, very unsuccessful computer program in high school. It had to “work” in order for me to pass the class. My nerdy computer partner, who’s probably an Apple exec now, launched hers and it performed the ordered task. I launched mine and all I got was a flashing cursor. Epic fail, F in computer programming. I’m still not as tech savvy as I wish I was, all those years later.
Elizabeth says
Programming computer what? I wouldn’t know where to start! Lol
Brandy D. says
When I really need a beauty product I’ll shop instore if I want to buy it for fun then def online
Rina A says
LOVE your site and LOVE Tabs.. oh sorry, T-Money. LOL.
My all time favourite and only computer game I own is The Sims 3. I might be slightly obsessed with it and play it any chance I get. Which isn’t actually a lot these days having an almost 5 year old around! She is also obsessed with make up and nail polish like her Mummy!
Tatyana G says
I like to do most of my beauty shopping in stores so I can touch, feel, see what I am buying.
Annika says
I always go in-store for the majority of beauty products. If it is something like a concealer or foundation or powder, I must because I usually have no idea how it will turn out. But if it is a brush or something I like going online.
Bridget says
Hello my name is Bridget…and I’m addicted to Tetris.
Wendy says
I hope you enjoyed your thanksgiving!
Evelyn says
I don’t usually play games although I’m part of a really old 2D world online. Imagine it’s lasted for almost 20 years. I prefer to buy makeup online when I know what I want otherwise it’s nice to go into the store to try things – barring pushy SA’s. I like Armani’s website for shopping although I like Guerlain & Chanel too.
jane says
happy thanksgiving weekend!
Betsy says

Isabel says
I online window shop a lot, and when I have a list of things I am considering, I go to Sephora or the department store and swatch to make sure I really like the color/pigmentation/texture before I purchase.
Melissa says
I hope when I retire I’ll be able to travel around the world.
Emily says
Saw so many pretty things at Sephora this weekend. Stalk products online, buy in store.
MarciaF says
I do most of my shopping for makeup online these days since life doesn’t give me much time to get to the stores. The one thing I won’t buy sight unseen though is foundation, that I need to test.
Leslie says
Anything Mario related… our latest favorite is Wii Super Mario Kart! Addicting stuff 🙂
Krystle(Baking Beauty) says

Occasionally I can be a real klutz so I’m afraid vibrating mascara wands might poke my eyes :p
Vanessa F says
I like doing my beauty shopping in stores if possible. I am lucky enough to live by a Sephora and an Ulta. I like to go “visit” items that I want until I save up for them.

bhevarri says
super ultra randomness ENGAGE!
OrangeLipstickBlog says
I adore my Clarisonic! I use it every day!

Anna says
I love Sephora!
Patty says
Hey, T-Money & K-Dawg! I just bought Burberry’s eyeshadow in Mulberry and it’s beautiful! Amazing how much bluer it makes my eyes look, it goes on like silk, wears a long time and I can’t wait to try other shades. I almost always shop for cosmetics online, so wasn’t sure about the color, so it’s a treat to get something I love. Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful!
nina says
We never got into video games growing up…spent a lot of time playing outside or reading! thanks Karen 🙂

mrsshukra says
Still enjoying T-Day leftovers!
Amanda G says
Have a Spiffy Holiday!
Katherine says
I don’t write programs from scratch, but I shoehorn computing into archaeology so the STEM people stop making fun of me. My favorite game is Crusader Kings from Paradox, but the Quest for Glory series was pretty awesome too.
Barbara says
Love your blog!! Thanks for another contest, Karen!
Amanda Val says
Thanks again!! Have a great thanksgiving and gear up for Cyber Monday ;D I need the retail therapy to get me going until X’mas lol

Anna says
call of duty!
layla says
haha, i hope tabs gets the contract!
Steph says
My mom just gave me a Clarisonic Mia 2 as an early Christmas gift, and I’m loving it. I think beauty technology is really cool, like I learned how to do makeup on youtube, and now I’m looking into doing makeup to get myself through college (I’m an art major- expensive!). I’d love to try stuff like heated lash curlers and vibrating mascara wands, sounds cool!
Rita says
Hi Karen! I hope you and Tabs had a lovely, love-filled Thanksgiving!
Amaris says
I LOVE sephora.com for purchasing beauty products :p
kristina says
I got a new cat that looks a lot like yours. Love her to death already 🙂
anika hein says
Could not live without my Clarisonic and Opal!!! They have changed my skin for the better and worth every penny.
camilla says
I do most of my shopping in beauty stores…it’s just not the same thing online…that feeling of treating yourself to something special after smelling it, testing it on your hand, looking at yourself in the mirror….:)
Karyn says
I’m just starting to use makeup products and l’ve been watching a lot of YouTube tutorials! The videos are really informative 🙂 but I’ve also discovered that makeup can be really pricey (especially for college students like me) so I’m excited about the chance to win a gift certificate!
Feyza says
I’m a softare engineering graduate so yes i wrote many codes before, but i think i prefer more human interacting works now 🙂 What is my best video game I ever played, I was a fan of Call of Duty and Age of Empires.
I always prefer to go to the stores, as i could test/see them. And much more fun!
Elizabeth Natividad says
I absolutely love that you have these giveaways! They are just the right pick me ups doing tough times! Thank you!
Wynell Rozier says
I love E.L.F. website

The Nightingale says
A byte is a sequence of bits and 8 bits which is 0 or 1, is one byte .. 🙂
Carrie G. says
I mostly shop for my beauty products in the store, especially when I want it right then and there…which hmmmmm, happens a lot! 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway.
julie says
I do most of my make up shopping online, after reading reviews from your blog and others. Sephora and nordstrom are my favs.
Julie says
I like to look at swatches in person, but actually make purchases online.
Shana says
I never wrote a computer program, but I used to write programs for my graphing calculator!
Laura H says
My all time favourite video game is Sims2 !
Liz says
Funny you should ask about programming! I have a liberal arts degree from eons ago (the 80’s), but my husband is currently working on a degree of his own. To help him stay motivated, I agreed to take classes with him. Guess who is now about 4 classes away from a computer science degree?? Painful but apparently possible, lol.
Oh, and as for games Sim City is my favorite EVAH, though Plants vs Zombies has been my obsession for a while now.
Diane says
I see technology changing beauty by allowing virtual try-ons of products to be more accessible. Sure, you can go to a site and upload your photo and try hairstyle or makeup already, but it would become more portable and the services like seeing sun damage or before-and-after shots of how your skin responds to different products would be available to anyone in the privacy of their own home instead of having to go to a doctor or dermatologist’s office. Let’s say you wanted to try Clinique’s Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector. Your profile would already be stored on your home computer or portable device of your choice (such as iPad) and it could immediately analyze how your skin would respond to the product. Just think–no more chancy purchases–you’d know right away if a product would work on you (or if a makeup item, whether the color would look right on you) without having to buy it. How cool would that be? 🙂
Evelyn says
My favourite video game is Super Metroid, but that is a really tough choice!
Carina says
My all-time favorite game was Glitch, but it just shut down, so now I don’t really know what to play anymore. 🙁
Denise says
I prefer buying beauty products in person. I love playing with the testers and seeing what the true colors are. I always end up with a multicolored arm when I leave Sephora from all the swatches. lol
Jennifer Rivera says
My all time favorite video game is Super Mario Brothers. Lots of great memories and was the 1st video game that I played. For makeup I prefer to shop in store b/c I love to swatch stuff.
Cynthia F. says
I do most of my shopping online since I live in the middle of nowhere.
Jennifer L says
I am mesmerized by that photo. T-Money has some mad skills.
laura says
I love Lisa Eldridge’s site. She makes great easy-to-follow videos that are really fun to watch.
Rosie says
Ooh, the possibilities! If I won this, I might finally break down and buy the Guerlain Meteorites.
Barbara says
Still lemming Naked 2!!
Mai says
Heading back to university today after the holidays… So good to see family, so sad to go back!
Daniella says
I just bought an adorable folding bike and I cant wait for it to be delivered!
Happy Post-Thanksgiving 🙂
Stephanie says
Seriously need to go shopping and find something that makes me look like I’ve had a full night’s rest since my daughter isn’t letting me by being hungry at 3 am!
Grace says
Hope you had the best thanksgiving, Karen!
Jen B says
I always shop in store! I have to try/swatch things before I buy.
Tanya says
All time favorite video game is Mario bros 3. Right now Final Fantasy 13 is my favorite video game. I wish I could program, Back in high-school I took one computer programing class & it didn’t work out so I’ve never tried since then……..
Rachel says
My favorite game ever is Diablo II. It came out 10+ years ago and I’m still playing it!! <3
Lily says
I was all about my gameboy when I was younger because we had to ride at least an hour in the car to get ANYWHERE…my favorite game was Pokemon…which I don’t usually admit to too many people these days…..
Heather S says
I just got a new Samsung Chromebook in the mail from Amazon, just turned it on, checking it out, and thinking I really like it 🙂
TrippyPixie says
I don’t play video games, but I’ve watched my cousin play the first three Metal Gear Solid games.
Angelic Mariposa Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ says
I am a sucker for holiday palettes and pretty packaging…then I save them because I don’t want to mess them up…silly huh?
Julie says
Loving my Dior eyeshadow duo!
DeLydia says
Love your website, Karen. I love the programming with the colors above, with one of my favorite actors.:) My favorite cleansing product to use is my Clairsonic. It has changed my life. I have clearer skin, and at age 48, my skin seems drier and the Clairsonic helps gently exfoliate. Sorry if this sounds like a commercial.LOL
Have a great and beauty filled day, everyone.
Camille Domingo says
thanksgiving was a lovely holiday. i’m excited for christmas, though. going back to (nor) cali!!!!! thanks for the opportunity for a win 🙂

Rachel says
I do most of my beauty shopping in stores. I need to be able to see them in person and try them out.
Roxanne brothers says
My favorite video game was castelvynnia. The older boy in the neighborhood would call me over to get them past levels. It was so funny, they were 15+ and I was around 8.
Rachel says
I think I do more makeup shopping online than in store. I often check it out in store but still buy online. More samples and cash back rewards. 🙂
Liz says
Listening to Mick Jagger.
clothes_w says
Love Sephora! Thanks, Karen!

Jenn says
I’ve been trying really, REALLY hard going on a no-buy. It’s even harder around this time of the year with uber glam packaging and holiday palettes coming out! I’ve managed to sit on my hands for Black Friday, though!
Emily says
I just bought the Vice Palette thanks to your post on it! I love it!
Ann says
I believe there are more gifts with purchase and deals to be had online as long as you know what shades/items you need.
Rebecca says
Right now I’m hooked on Angry Birds Star Wars! Must..put…iPhone…down…children…are…hungry… One more level!
@PiratePigg says
I enjoy going into Sephora and seeing products and colors “in person”, so to speak, but when I shop online there are more reliable samples and codes. 🙂
Alix says
I’ve been playing the new call of duty, but in zombie mode. My first game ever and I’m actually pretty good! Never thought I’d be a gamer.
Jessica K says
I want to comment something witty, and funny, or at least helpful. But I cannot stop thinking about that wonderful gif. … Still scrolling up and down to look at it and comment. Haha, you’re simply the best and the most down to earth blogger! 😀
Kasiah says
The Browns just beat the Steelers so I’m happy! Go Browns! 🙂
Emily Schramm says
Sephora is my ultimate weakness! Love makeup! Sadly the closest ones is 2.5 hours away. I do what I can online!

Deborah K. says
Roads were horrible in Michigan today; took me a while extra to get where I was going. First somewhat significant snow of the year.
Kat says
I am a big impulse buyer so I buy most of my makeup in stores.
Christa says
I just got dumped and could really use the pick me up 🙁
Ana Macedo says
Love your makeups and your style!
Big kiss from Portugal *
Tina says
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
Kriszta says
Hy! I think technology will take over make-up too, like measuring skin-tone and matching to a foundation shade or thongs like that, whicj will be awesome but probably very expensive.xoxo
Stephanie says
what are your thoughts of using H2O2 to kill the bacteria on your face. The lady who gave me a facial suggested it and I am intrigued…..
Sonia says
Thanks for the contest! I love Sephora:)
aradhana says
my fave video game is diner dash! sooo addictive!
Amy D. says
I want to sleep for a week after dancing at regionals this past weekend. But, school.
Cheryl says
What an adorable story about T-Money! 🙂 I’ve written many programs now and more in the future as an engineer. I feel like technology in 20 years from now will be mostly wireless based; everything will be on the cloud (or whatever version it will be then). I am sure it’ll be the next victim for stealing information in cyber space.
Love your blog, hope mine will be as good as yours one day. And thank you for the giveaway! 🙂
Melissa C. says
Had dimsum for breakfast this morning, ’twas greasy and delicious.
Marilyn Gonzalez says
Favorite game ever is Mario Bros. The very first one…..and I can’t beat it worth crap!!!!! LOL
Julia Parker says
I love going into Sephora and Mac stores but unfortunately have none near me so I’ve learned to love shopping online. Your blog is great and thanks for having such a great contest.
Katherine says
I love Super Smash Brothers and Super Mario Kart for Nintendo 64 – it’s hard to pick a favorite.
Sophia says
what makeup brand do you own the most products???
Eileen says
Haha no electronic beauty tools for me although I’ve been lusting after a clarisonic for quite some time… And I just made vib at Sephora! Pretty exciting although they gave me a 10% off coupon that I now want to use on the tarte carried away set that i don’t need to shell out for, they 50$ would certainly help!
Julie says
I buy more online, it’s more convenient when you know exactly what you want.
shedontusejelly says
Maybe in the future we’ll have little earrings, and when we “activate” them they will create a hologram illusion over our face which will look like perfect makeup and with our thoughts we can easily adjust the color schemes. lol jk. I’m not sure what will happen but that might actually be a little creepy.
Greta says
I would love this giftcard because it would help me get those winter goodies i reallllly want!
Jane says
Who knew Tabs was a programmer . . . his talent knows no bounds. Sure would like a Sephora gift card under the tree.
Hayley says

I do pretty much ALL my shopping online. Seriously cannot remember the last time I went to a counter…
KaylaP says
My favorite video game of all time would have to be The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. It was the first time I actually beat a game ever! Twilight Princess is pretty close because I absolutely love the storyline of that particular game!
Nancy J says
I probably do 50/50 shopping of online and in store. Depends on where and what deals there are!
lesleyk says

Love the gif, so funny!
Sara says
Would love to win!
Tiffany says
I’m addicted to Pinterest, Instagram, and Beautylish for beauty inspirations, also they help me browse before buying in store.
Nikki A says
I usually shop at Sephora online so I can get samples-I’ve found lots of products this way. I’ll be glad when my local store gets that new foundation-matching scanner. I have very dark, very red skin and I’m tired of people handing me yellow-toned colors just because it’s the darkest shade 🙁
Iulia M. says
love the you combined my two loves of Ryan Gossling and cats haha
I’ve heard so many things about the Clarisonic but can’t afford it yet grr would love to incorporate it in my routine since my skin is so dry
Miranda M. prettysquaredmm@gmail.com
Faiza says
I like to do my makeup shopping BOTH online and in person. I like finding the best deal, so where ever I can find that, I’m down! 🙂
BB says
Zelda is my all time favorite game!
MJ says
I really loved WoW when I was more active in it and had more people to play with. Enjoying Guild Wars 2 atm however, as well as playing Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light with my bf. :3
And in regards to cosmetic technology, I love my Clarisonic Mia. ^^
Sara says
I loved playing Sonic on Sega when I was little.
Mary says
I do most of my makeup shopping online, because Ulta is an hour away and Sephora an hour and a half. But sometimes I just have to make the road trip to see something in person first, you know?
Wendy says
I love my indie mineral etailers, so I do most of my makeup shopping online.
I hope you had a lovely holiday weekend!
Grace says
I love to shop online (sepohora) for make up. I go into the store to swatch and then order online in order to take advantage of the freebies 🙂
Yesenia says
I have an exam tomorrow and guess who is pissing studying time away watching SNL? ME, like a boss…a boss :D!
Julie Greenwood says
We just got a new kitten. I’ll need some new undereye concealer for the sleepless nights ahead.

I do my makeup shopping both in store and online, it’s pretty equal 🙂

Lisa B. says
My favorite video game is Persona 4!
Natalia says
I love Portal 2! It’s a really fun puzzle game!
Tasnia says
I swore to myself that I wouldn’t be doing all my homework sunday night this break but that’s whats happening now :(. And I’m procrastinating by online makeup browsing…
Lisa says
I do some programming for my research (I’m a grad student). Nothing major, just scripting to pile through language corpora/dictionaries, but it’s fun!
MF says
I love cuddling with my cat, Josh!
Hazel says
I had no idea de-potting UD’s eyeshadow primer could be so stressful!
Kim says
I miss the simplicity of the original Atari, for which I spend countless hours playing Dig-Dug and Frogger as a child.
amanda says
Hahaha, omgeee at ryan gosling! Two of my favorite things 😉
Megan says
I use a clarisonic about once a week because i have sensitive skin and more than that is too much for me. In the future I think we will be able to have the ability to take pictures that show true tones and undertones and also that will in turn make it possible for us to upload our picture and see how makeup colors will work with our true skintone.
Bee says
Omg omg… I need to win this so bad.
Karin says
I wish I had the money to actually buy the many things on my wish list! It’s such a tease browsing through the latest products online and in store. Usually I like to buy things in person at Sephora but I also do some online research looking at swatches and reviews before coming in store to swatch it myself.
Dahlia says
I love the process of swatching and trying out makeup then buying and walking out almost skipping all excited with my new products! So in stores for me. Even if I’m buying drugstore makeup actually seeing the colors and holding the compacts is more fun than online.
Maggie says
I’m not a gamer but I LOVE Zelda! I’ve only played it about four times but everytime I do….it really makes want to get a system and start playing it all the time.
Eve says
Thanks for the giveaway! love sephora
Katty says
No work for me tomorrow!
Amy Z says
Favorite video game (and I’m not a gamer at all) – Torchlight!
Kristine Ayala says
Always need new goodies from Sephora 😉
Stephanie C says
Happy Holidays! Time is fLying by so fast. It feels like October still! I need to get caught up before I miss out on December!!
Emilee says
Well sephora is probably my favorite site for beauty product shopping but I do also love clinique.com- they do free shipping a lot and I love getting sample sizes of my favorite products to use when I travel!
Isana says
i do more makeup shopping in stores because i can’t tell what colors (especially foundations and concealers) would suit me just by other people’s online swatching.
heather says
Is it ironic that I was an engineering major in college but programming is my worst enemy? lol. maybe that’s why I’m studying medicine instead 😛
Shannon Ikerd says
Want Teint Idole Ultra . . . . it is the BUSINESS!!!
TK says
Fantastic! With this gift card, I’m quite tempted to place another order >_<
Leslie Marie Doser says
Roses are red. Bacon is also red. Poems are hard. Bacon. (I love bacon!) 🙂
Sarah says
Nothing better than visiting your fab blog this monday morning to get rid of monday blues!
Sarah
Sarah says
Missed it! :S
Just realized.
Elizabeth says
I would put this toward Donna Karan’s woman fragrance.
Rene Groyer says
Well I live in South Africa,so online shopping is my only option for certain goodies.The worst is that Sephora will not shop here at all and I would love a Clarisonic !
Rozae says
I like IRS & vampy vanish blog, quick, easy & colorful.
Bonnie says
I’ve got (and use) me a Clarisonic.
mayra says
I really have been wanting to try Nars Laguna. I hear its a great bronzer

Ms. Pacman will always have a special place in my video game memories.
