MAC Friends & Family Sale: Coupon Code for 25% Off
MAC Friends & Family Sale: 25% Off Coupon!
MAC will be having their Friends & Family Sale June 16th through June 18th, online only. The discount will be 25% off all products on maccosmetics.com. It is available to only the U.S. and Canadian MAC websites. The discount code is SUMO.
Start planning your hauls, lovelies! I also suggest buying sooner rather than later if you do plan to take advantage of the limited time discount. I say this because last time they did a F&F sale, many products went out of stock quickly.
What’s on your Friends & Family list?
I can’t wait.
I’m putting my list together right now.
I’m sssssooooooo excited.
Can’t wait to see your list!
HOLY SMOKES! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for this information!
MADE MY DAY!
My pleasure, Noemie!
CANT WAIT
What’s on your list, Jollene?
At the moment, my list is Fix+, Fresco Rose Paint Pot, Sunsational Lipstick, Sandy B Lipstick, C-Thru Lipglass, Baby Sparks Dazzleglass, Beautiful Iris Eyeshadow, Creme De Violet Eyeshadow, Vibrant Grape Eyeshadow, Swimming Eyeshadow, Fuchsia Pigment, Copper Sparkle Pigment, Shade Fluidline, Dipdown Fluidline, Her Glitz Glitter Eyeliner, Aqualine Liquidlast Liner, Eversun Beauty Powder Blush and On A Mission Beauty Powder Blush…wanted to get Sun Rush Lustre Drops, but they sold out.
Wow! I sure would love to be you when the mailman arrives with that package!!!!
Very nice list!! 🙂
Wow! I’ve never heard of this! Definitely making a haul list!
I want to see your list, Wilcoa!
There’s nothing on my Friends & Family list. Mac doesn’t care at all about their European costumers and never do such discounts.
Where in Europe? I’m sure there’s stuff I want from Europe(like Barry M, Gosh, etc…) So I would totally be willing to do a swap with you if there was some mac stuff you wanted..My email is Relaywithme@aol.com
Let me know if you, or anyone for that matter, wants to..
Hey Anna, I’m in the UK, so have access to the brands you mentioned! Is there going to be a new Mac collection out by the 16th? If so, I’m interested in doing a swap. I’m on MUA under this same username or you can e-mail me at anitajbox-internet@yahoo.co.uk
Sorry they don’t do discounts in the European region!
Do you know if tgis will include things from the new Styles Warrior collection? So excited about this! Going to make a list!!
I think that would probably depend on if any of those items are still available on the site.
From what I’ve seen the lipstick brave new bronze is sold out, luster drops in pink rebel and sun rush are sold out.
Everything else looks like you can still purchase it. However, that could change by June 16th. Seems to me (from a recent talk with a MAC lady) that the collections you should get ASAP because once they sell out they’re gone.
The F&F sale always sells out stuff REALLY fast, so it’s best to have a list ready and order ASAP when it starts.
I don’t know, to be honest. I think it will, though!
my list so far is..
rose romance beauty powder – blush of youth
prep + prime lash
239 brush
231 brush
soft ochre paint pot
Dangit all, payday is the 19th! Hahah
i know! i dont get paid til the 20 something 🙁
🙁
Boo 🙁
Holy crap, AGAIN?? YESSSS!!
Indeed!
YES!! I was ready to order stuff when I found out the empty palettes were available online, but decided to wait it out to see if there would be a F&F sale this summer year. Feels so good when things work out like this 🙂 .
Yayyy! Glad it’s gonna work out for ya, Anna!
I wonder if you can get teh 25% off the left over Hello Kitty stuff…?
I’m pretty sure anything on the site is fair game, if it’s like it was in January.
I think this is how it will be, too!
You might, but I’m not sure!
Thanks for the notice!! I’m putting my list together as we speak of all the MAC replenishing I must do. MAC has great sales and they’re often too…what a great line of makeup that truly caters to it’s customers!
No prob! What’s on your list, Catherine?
Yeah, we never get a discount on MAC products here in Germany, it’s so unfair 🙁
Hey there! I just moved to germany. Do you know if there are mac stores here?? and if so where are they?
Try going to maccosmetics.com and choosing Germany as your country – then go to store locator!
Great, im going to be soo broke this month, i just bought a whole bunch of stuff from sephora, & im probably going to be buying mac stuff because of this sale. its so tempting lol
Awww!
Can you use this discount if you call the MACPro number to order, or is it strictly for MACCosmetics?
If it’s just the regular line than my wish list is:
MAC Prussian (Pan)
MAC Bright Future
MAC 272
MAC Sea & Sky Mineralize Eye Shadow Duo
As far as I know, it is only for maccosmetics.com.
Ive never bought online at MAC but this is very tempting..one question, has anyone ordered from Canada? Just wondering how long is takes to reach? Thanks
Hey Rani,
I ordered from MAC (im in Ontario)
and it only took a few days, and came nicely packaged!
BUT I have a feeling with all the orders from friends and family it might be longer? Not sure :S
It’s generally pretty prompt though 🙂
hurray! thanks for the heads up 🙂
Rani, I have ordered from Canada. As long as nothing is OOS, it doesn’t take long because it ships from within Canada. I can’t remember exactly, but I think it only took a few days for it to reach me.
No prob, Rasilla!
Hi! I’m in BC and it takes exactly one week to get to me, every time! It is shipped by FedEx Ground and always arrives in good condition (shipping is free as long as you are over 75$ which is easy peasy!)
they ship from markham ontario as far as i know… literally its 1-2 days for me since i am in toronto! same with pro orders.
The F&F sale does tend to prolong shipping times a bit, just a heads up!
MAC’s Naked Honey Collection also comes out June 11th.. will this collection be included in the sale? I typically buy items from new collections the date of release but i’d be willing to hold off until the 16th if the items will be 25% off.
I think it will be 🙂
I have a question…. does this sale apply to macpro.com because I’d like to order some stuff from there as well… Thank you!
yeah i am wondering the same… do pro members benefit at all with additional savings?
I wouldn’t think so, since PRO members already get a discount everyday. It also states maccosmetics.com, not macpro.com!
I do not believe so! The postcard says maccosmetics.com.
I know for sure I’m going to get the 217 & 109. Brushes at 25% off are a steal. I would like some E/S refills like Trax, Seedy Pearl, Hepcat, Plum Dressing & Naked Lunch. I could use a refill on bronzer, about to hit pan on my Golden. Lastly, maybe a dazzleglass or Magnetique lipglass. Holding off on purchasing lipsticks cause i have a slew of stuff to B2M.
I agree — brushes are one of the best ways to take advantage of the 25% off sale!
Shock, they’re not extending it to their European customers.
oh man, i wish i had a credit card/paypal. 🙁 oh the lush of being a teenager! but uh.. while putting together my ‘list’, the sumo promo code is working? i haven’t ordered for the above reason, but its applying the discounts.
I just tried the code after reading your post and it say it isn’t a valid code.
The sale doesn’t start until 16th through the 18th.
June 16th!
Aww!
It’s for June 16th-18th.
Do they usually have free shipping for this F&F sale?
How fast do they send stuff out? Pretty fast or do they usually have delay?
There’s always free shipping over $60.
Yep and it’s $60 before the discount, not after.
WAIT! REALLY??? Free shipping always over $60 before the discount??? lol I was getting my list together and i kept calculating to get to 60 with the discount lol!! Wow this is such a steal!
Yep that’s what I did in January, the cart will say free shipping when you reach $60 and then you add the discount and the free shipping stays.
Awesome!
Yep!!
If you spend over $60. There will likely be a bit of a delay – like 1-3 days to process your order, and then whatever shipping speed you select.
Going to get some more Style Warriors and going to get another Pro Pan Eyeshadow Palette or 2 and some more Pro Pan Eyeshadow Refills! I’m hoping to get brushes as well.
Awesome list, Jacquelyn!
HOORAY! I’ll get to get all of my style warrior AND naked honey stuff. I’ll be there on midnight. ;3
Yayyy!
If I had known about this! I placed an order not too long ago!
Omg. that sucks. :[
🙁 Aw!
someone wanna suggest their favorite brushes for me? i haven’t got any MAC (mine are all from Sonia Kashuk, loew cornell, costal scents, costco even…), and want to invest in better ones. Christine, any recs?
Well, I’m not Christine but the 182 and 187 are my FAVORITE MAC brushes. I have yet to find high quality dupes for these and and 182 is the softest brush I own (perfect for Mineralized Skinfinish Natural). Both of these have many uses. Unfortunately, both are on the expensive end of MAC brushes….As far as eyes, the 239 and 242 are pretty versatile (and very similar). Out of the two I use the 239 more often, but the 242 works better with pigments in my opinion.

i’ve been waiting for this f&f 🙂 this will be my first time and i’m SUPER excited! this will probably be the closest i get to a discount for MAC prodcuts! 🙂 yippeee! thanks christine!! 🙂
What’s on your list?!
hmmm…i live in the UAE, no chance to make use of the F&F sale??? 🙁
I don’t think so, sorry!
Omg!! I’ve been planning on buying some new MAC shadows, and since the pans are 11 dollars and it’s 25% off, I can buy ONE pan of MAC shadow for… 8 dollars and 25 cents! WOO! I’m getting Nocturnelle, Humid, Goldmine and Silver Ring!!
OMG you are so right! That’s like the price of some drugstore shadows! Wow I need to hit up my MAC counter to start making a list of the things I want! I just realized that I overpaid my credit card so I have a hundred dollar credit… I think i might just treat myself with some mac products!
YAY!! 😀
i love you ;; thanks .i was going to order today but now i can waite till the 16th 🙂
Yay! Happy to help!
Holy crap this is dangerous!! I have to set a limit here, too many collections coming out and now this sale! bah!
LOL! Very true.
I have hit my money limit for my list 🙁 but can afford to get ONE more shadow (yay!). out of black tied and carbon, which would you recommend? I’ve never seen either in person…..is the black tied glitter on the chunky side?
I have both i find i dont reach for black tied because it prone to fall out… i wouldnt go as far as calling it chunky though. The sparkle/reflect particles seem almost magnetic… they seem to travel around my pro palette and accumulate at the bottom of the pan where the magnet is (anyone else notice this?) this happens even if i dont use it often so i periodically wipe it clean with a tissue. Its the only mac shadow i have out of about 50 that i have this trouble with. Used damp with any form of a store bought or home made mixing medium its much better or applied on top of a good base . on its own i would say its not a very easy formula to work with. Carbon gets my vote since its much more easy wearing and versatile. you can always add shimmer to your look… i like working with a basic matte black. … Black black pigment is also fantastic.
Thanks!! I think I will get Carbon. It seems like a good staple in an eyeshadow collection.
Awww!
I like Carbon 🙂 You can always layer it over a shimmery base to make a shimmery black.
The 25% is already in effect. I just placed my first order.
Really? Hmm…..it didn’t work for me….
The sale doesn’t start until the 16th; i’ve tried multiple times to apply the promo code and it doesn’t work yet online.
But my order has already been processed and shipped.
With the 25% discount?? Such Luck!!
It didn’t work for me…
Hello
Thank you for your good information!!
I watched check every day at your site!
Many thanks,
Midori
No prob, Midori!
Thanks!
This is for the US?
Can you use it in-store too?
Just online!
Nordstrom MAC counters will price match though if you print out the flyer/email.
I talked to mine and they refused!
I’m happy to know it in advance because I can’t stop transforming my list! It’s so hard, I would buy everything on the website!!
lol! What is on your list so far, Cloe?
Will it be free shipping, or only when its $60 or more?
$60 or more most likely…
WOW this seems to good to be true! i never knew mac offered discount codes nor did i know about this website till now (im just becoming a mac addict thats probably why) lol .. anyways their was something i wasnt quite sure on…. is the 25% off EACH product or 25% off the whole purchase? if that makes sense… thanks!
They’ve recently starting doing it in the past year or two. It is 25% off the entire purchase 🙂
What time can I start ordering online? I know it starts June 16, but does it mean you can start ordering at midnight? Also does EST or PST affect the promotion at all? Thanks!!!
June 15th with EARLY25. June 16th with SAVE25 or SUMO!
I don’t know what to get. -_- I keep changing my list. Removing, adding, removing again, then adding again. I don’t want to spend more than $200 but I keep adding up to like $300. -_-
Awww, you’ll figure it out!
The code is working NOW!!!!!!!
HI… I didn’t know about this until now.. just abit late!! How can I find out when it happens in 2010. I need some MAC stuff.. always need some MAC stuff. LOL.
Im so excited! Wonderful news! Thanks!
hey christine ! do you know if there’ll be another F&F sale for MAC this June?
I haven’t heard anything, sorry!
Are you normally able to get the information ahead of time? I hope they do one this year. My local CCO is about 4 hours away. So I am realling wanting to start stacking up on brushes.
We typically hear about the sale before it actually goes live.
Anyone know when the F&F sale will be in 2010???
I haven’t heard anything, sorry Blair!
i am wondering the same thing! nothing’s been announced yet this year and i am already disappointed, haha!
ps- you’re fantastic with replies, christine! i read through this thread and you’re amazing in what you do, haha! so had to send props :)!
I have to get a list together. They didn’t have half the stuff I wanted last year.
Hi Christina,
The discount code doesn’t work… I am on the Canadian website.
This is an old sale… pleas check the date! Thanks!
Hey Christine,
I luv ur channel and your reviews. I put a lot of weight to what you say. Just wanted to know if MAC is having a friends and family discount this year? and also what about Sephora???
Thank you.
Lyn

Not that I know of!
