MAC Cosmetics is having a Friends & Family event where you can save 15% at all freestanding and PRO stores (sorry, no department store counters!) from June 11th through June 16th.
We're here to help you make better beauty purchases that you'll enjoy and love! We recommend signing up to take advantage of personalized features like tracking products you own, viewing dupes that you already have, and more!

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities!

I wish they at least had a freestanding store where I’m located!Dang!
Aww! At least you can use it online on Monday!
argh i already ordered my Cool Heat stuff, but i think i’ll use this to get a large softsac (for travel) and some paint pots and other basics i needed. maybe i’ll hit up the pro store……….woohoo!
Luckily I haven’t ordered mine yet (I will get it in-store tomorrow), so phew.
THANK YOU! I’m running out of foundation and I wanted some new eyeshadows. Perfect timing.
No problem, Dee 😀
dude im so angry
i bought stuff online yesterday!!! >:O does anyone know if you can cancel orders and stuff?! i REALLY want the discount… :[
THANK YOU in advance!!!
Aww!! You can cal and try to cancel, Renee! The online code won’t work until Monday.
is cool heat going to be at the freestanding stores? i thought it was a nordstrom exclusive *confused*
yes, it will be at the freestanding stores. The next collection, ‘colour forms” is a nordstrom exclusive.
Yep, this is true 🙂
Yes, it will be, Sara. It isn’t the Nordstrom exclusive – that is Colour Forms!
thanks for the heads up…just checked my e-mail…
Sure thing, Dee!
Do you happen to know what the promocode is for online shopping?
Thank you 🙂
It will be released on Monday, Roxanne!
i swore when i got the email this morning i thought it was a haux.
i’m sneaking out of work in the morning and heading to the pro store.
LOL, I know, right? I was like, “WHAT?!” But it’s legit, yay!
What is everyone buying?
For me, I’ll probably just use it on my Cool Heat haul!
What’s the difference between freestanding stores and department counter stores?
Freestanding means it is just a MAC store – that’s it. Department counter stores are the counters that you find at Nordstroms, etc…
Freestanding means it’s just a MAC store in a mall or street, and it is all by itself. Department counter stores are MAC counters found within a department store, like Macy’s, Filene’s, Nordstrom’s, etc.
Please let us know the code on Monday!! I am going to sign up for emails, but just in case!
Of course, Sarah!
thank you so much for uploading this! Youre the best! thanks for sharing the friends and family love! lol
No problem, Christie!
hmm can this be used for orders made through the pro 800 number? like if we told them the code or something? cause i need some palettes!
Hi Kae,
I have no idea… I don’t think so, but you can try!
MAC is evil.
I’ll be going to the Freestanding this weekend. I’m not a Blue/Green girl, so I don’t think I’ll be gettin any Cool Heat (except maybe Solar White).
I think I will get a back up of Pink Grapefruit too since it’s 15% off.
Lastly, I will create a bronzy quad. Any suggestions?
(I already own, Woodwinked, Mythology and Time and Space).
Indeed they are! At least it will help out those who do intend to haul it up for Cool Heat.
Bronzy quad… How about BRONZE (love it!), Patina/Romp, Amber Lights…
can i print this and then bring it to my mac store? and does it work in canada?
Thanks
It is supposed to work in Canada, Cristine!
OMGosh! I think my bad self is going to splurge like CRAZY here! And no one shall stop me! (evil laugh)
Oh and good luck on your quiz Christine…hope you ACE it 😉
LOL, I know, right?!
Thanks for the luck, Kharina! I think I might have!
thank you so much christine!! <333
good luck 😉
Sure thing, Lala!
Thanks!
I am SO mad !!! I placed a $100 order online last night, and I could’ve just gone to the store tomorrow and bought the same things and gotten $15 off ! grrr =[
I guess I’ll have to find a few more things I need.
Awww!! LOL, “find a few more things”, sounds like me!
OooooOoo…I’m so excited! My friend and I have been planning on going to MAC this weekend for a while now and making a haul (minor or major? I’m leaning towards major now)…..this just convinces me it was meant to be!!!
Thanks Christine!
No problem, Shayla 🙂 Happy to help fellow addicts out!
Wow, Christine…
Alright, I’m going on a spending spree on Monday. 🙂
Tell me about it 😉
There never seems to be any good deals for the UK – why not, we love make-up too (sob sob sniff) 🙁
🙁 I don’t know, Kat! I’ll hope they have one for you soon!
Thank you SO MUCH! I’m going in to MAC tomorrow for my Cool Heat loot! Now I can score a Tendertone too! 😀
BTW, there’s been a lot of reviewers not too keen on Climate Blue because of the texture and payoff, but your looks with it have been stunningly beautiful! What do you think of it?
My pleasure, Glosslizard!! Which tendertone?
I love Climate Blue because of the color… honestly, there’s nothing really wrong with the texture or payoff. I think payoff is quite good, especially when you lay it down as an actual eyeshadow (versus just on a swatch), and the texture blends well for me.
Thanks, that’s great! I may go back and get it since I do love violet-purples!
I looked at the Tendertones but ended up getting an extra slimshine instead (I got Swelter, Tropic Glow and By Degrees). I love them!
Ohh, yay! I like the slimshines better than Tendertones personally 🙂
Holy smokes! Thank you so much! Just called my local MAC store and they are honouring the coupon in Canada as well! Yippee! Kinda bummed that I bought some stuff today and they said they wouldn’t do a price adjustment on it though
🙁
Awesome, Kendra! Thanks for sharing this info for our Canadian readers!
Yay! My Birthday is Monday and my lovely boyfriend has promised me some MAC! So now I can get some extra! Maybe even splurge on some brushes…
Aww!! Happy Birthday, Ashley 🙂 Well, early birthday!
i got this email and was soooo happy
my birthday is june 13th (i turn 15 :)..only 6 months till my permit lol) sooo this is perfect
i’m gonna be going to my pro store on the 14th so i’m psyched to use this offer
Awesome, Shayna! Happy birthday, love! Have fun a the PRO store! Haul it up for us 😀
Can this be used with a pro card?
I don’t know, Christina! You could try!
Awesome..but like two days ago I just spent over $100 on the website! LOL. Oh well, I’m planning on getting more anyway 😀
LOL, well at least it will save you some money on Monday!
So are you going to post the website code on Monday when you receive it? : )
But of course, Anna!
So anyone in NA can print and use this coupon at MAC’s freestanding stores? They’re not going to check which people are limited to using the coupon?
Sorry for the questions, but it sounds almost too good to be true!
As far as I know, this is the case, Thalia!
have they done this before? i thought mac doesn’t do sales???
They have done it in the past where they’ve handed it out really TO friends and family, first time they’ve made it so large.
Hey Christine…I look to you as the “MAC expert”, so when I want advice, I’m coming to the source. I’m going to be ordering brushes on Monday. I’ve already got basic Stila ones, but was thinking about the 187, 219, 239 and 272. Any other suggestions? Thanks for your help!
Aww, lol!!
The 182! The 182! Do you have that one? Because it is so amazing, love it. I love the 249 for applying cream-based products (like paint pots), too.
From the picture on the website, that looks like a buki brush. I actually have a Sonia Kashuk one that I use almost daily; it’s great, with nice, dense bristles. Definitely can’t live without one of those. And the 249–have the Stila version of that one. Another essential tool. Thanks so much for the suggestions.
My pleasure, hun! Sounds like you have all the right tools!
Well I have to say, Friday was probably the biggest MAC haul I’ve had! Good thing I had my birthday money otherwise I’d be flat out broke! They said I could continue using my coupon all weekend…and I’m really tempted…but I really have to put a stop to my addiction! LOL! BTW, the code for online shopping might be NEIGHBOR, as I heard the manager say the code to the MA ringing me in and it says “discount TRN by:15% Reason: Neighbor” on my receipt. The code could be different tomorow, but ya never know! Happy shopping! 🙂
Nice job, Kendra!!
Code turned out to be MACFF8!
Did anyone get the online promotion code yet? I need them badly!!!
It’s MACFF8!
it’s macff8 i just used it
you can just call them. but it will take a while to get refunded. either way call ASAP the discount is sooo worth it!!!! =)
