A Friends & Family sale or F&F is when there is a special sale code that is sent out to your email address.And the discount amount always varies it can be 15%,20 or 25% and sometimes even 30%! you can pass this code out to your friends and family hence the term F&F sale lol So they can also benefit from the discount and you can use the code multiple times.Actually you can use it as many times as you like up till the code expiration.But you will get all the details in the email.So that's why its important to sign up at all your favorite cosmetics companies MAIN websites.
So definitely sign up at sephora.com and click yes to email me with special offers.But also go to the specific brand sites and sign up too.Like Nars.com,Mac.com,Benefit.com,Smashbox.com,etc etc etc They all have F&F sales.So all the brands you like sign up for them all.That way the codes are sent directly too you.So you wont find the code on a website when its already past its expiration.Its great because getting that code directly, you get first choice on the products.Where as if you find out later into the sale alot of items end up out of stock.Because everyone with the code bought everything before you got there lol
Especially with Mac's F&F sale people literally fill up there online cart and stay up late waiting for midnight when the sale starts just to checkout.So everything tends to sell out really fast.So for Mac everyone is really prepared because Mac F&F everything sells out so fast.So if you MAC follow and do the same on the next F&F if you want to be able to get those products you want.
As far as when F&F sales happen,each company usually has an F&F twice a year and all the companies do the F&F's all around the same time.So for example one day you will get an email code for Sephoras F&F the next day you will get Benefits F&F Code then another code and in a few more days another code and then they just keep coming lol Personally i wish they scattered the F&F throughout the year but whatever.And there usually done every six months so there will be a big massive boom of F&F Sales in the summer and then again around late Autumn/ Early Winter.
Another benefit of being signed up to the main sites is sometimes on occasion there will be a special offer with a one time code just for you.So don't pass those around because its only works one time and for yourself.
Hope ive helped
Good luck and happy shopping! lol
