The Blueberry Swirl hype in 2026
The beauty world is currently obsessed with the April 2026 launch of the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in 'Blueberry Swirl'. This limited edition shade became an overnight viral sensation on TikTok, with creators praising its unique cool-toned tint and the signature hydrating formula. Because this is a high-demand limited release, authentic stock is primarily concentrated at US Sephora locations and the official Summer Fridays webstore.
Waiting for a local European release is often a mistake for collectors. By the time limited editions reach Brussels or Antwerp, they are frequently sold out or listed by third-party resellers at double the retail price. Securing your item early from the source is the only way to guarantee authenticity before the gray market supply chain takes over.
Why buying from the US saves money for Belgians
The price discrepancy for premium US beauty brands is significant. In the United States, the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm retails for approximately $24. When these products finally appear in high-end Belgian boutiques or through international retailers that ship to Europe, the price often jumps to €35 or more due to aggressive regional pricing strategies. When you add the scarcity of the 'Blueberry Swirl' edition, the cost of buying locally becomes unjustifiable.
By using a tax-free US address, you can purchase the product at the original US MSRP. Using comGateway as your freight forwarder allows you to bypass the inflated international retail prices and access the same deals that US shoppers enjoy. Even with international shipping, purchasing multiple units or combining your order with other top us deals often results in a lower total cost per item.

Order from Sephora US with a package forwarder
If you want to shop us store sites like Sephora or the official Summer Fridays site, you will notice they often do not ship directly to Belgium, or their international shipping rates are prohibitively expensive. This is where a step-by-step guide on how it works becomes essential for international shoppers.
First, sign up for a US-based shipping address. When you check out at Sephora, use this address as your delivery destination. This allows you to access us trends as soon as they drop. Once your 'Blueberry Swirl' balm arrives at the warehouse, you can manage your Belgium delivery through your account dashboard. This method ensures you get the product weeks before it might (or might not) appear on European shelves.
Consolidate items to lower costs
Since a lip balm is very light, shipping it alone to Belgium might not be the most cost-effective strategy. We recommend browsing other popular products and combining them into a single shipment. Consolidation can reduce your total shipping overhead by up to 80% compared to shipping individual packages.
Navigating Belgian customs and VAT for US shipments
When you buy from US ship to Belgium, your package will pass through Belgian Customs (Douane). In 2026, all goods imported from outside the EU are subject to VAT (21% in Belgium). For orders under €150, the process is usually straightforward. If your total order value exceeds €150, additional customs duties may apply depending on the product category. Using a reliable freight forwarder provides you with the necessary documentation to ensure your ship to Belgium experience is handled professionally and without unexpected delays.
Maximize your savings on US trends
The 2026 'Blueberry Swirl' edition is just one example of the price gap between the US and Europe. To stay ahead of the curve, keep an eye on us trends for the latest beauty and tech releases. By leveraging a US address, you are no longer limited by your geographical location or the high markups of local importers.
Ready to secure your balm? Head over to the how it works page to set up your account and start shopping like a US local. Once your package is ready, Belgium delivery is fast and reliable, bringing the best of the 2026 US beauty market straight to your doorstep in Brussels, Antwerp, or Ghent.
