The 2026 Electric Pink Phenomenon
Ever since the 2026 Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Luminous Powder Blush launched four days ago, my social media feeds have been nothing but swatches of the 'Electric Pink' shade. This limited-edition glow is unlike anything Selena Gomez has released before, combining the pigment of the original liquid blush with a glass-like finish that seems to last all day. My local beauty shops in Brussels haven't even announced a release date yet, and if history repeats itself, they will be out of stock within minutes of going live.
I realized that waiting for local stock is a losing strategy. By the time it hits the shelves here, the hype is at its peak and the scalpers have already moved in. I decided to take matters into my own hands and look toward the source in the United States.
Why I prefer to shop us store directly
Shopping directly from the US isn't just about being first; it is about selection. The US Sephora and Rare Beauty sites often carry exclusive bundles and the full shade range that we rarely see in Europe. To do this, I needed a reliable tax-free us address. I have been using comGateway for my makeup hauls because they provide a dedicated suite address in Oregon, which means I don't pay any US sales tax on my purchase.
Using a freight forwarder allows me to act like a US local. I simply enter my suite address at checkout and wait for the notification that my package has arrived at the warehouse. However, I recently hit a snag that many international shoppers face.
Overcoming Payment Blocks with BuyForMe
When I tried to buy the Electric Pink blush last year, my order was cancelled immediately. I learned that many major US retailers, including Sephora, Nike, and Apple, have strict security filters. They often block international credit cards or refuse to ship to addresses they flag as forwarders. It was incredibly frustrating to see the "Order Cancelled" email hit my inbox just minutes after I thought I had secured my items.
I found the solution through the comGateway "BuyForMe" service. Instead of me trying to use my Belgian card, I tell their team what I want to buy. They use a domestic US credit card and their own purchasing accounts to buy the items on my behalf. This is the safest way to guarantee that my order doesn't get flagged or cancelled. Since I started using this assisted purchase option, I haven't had a single order rejected by a US store. It takes the stress out of limited-edition drops like this 2026 blush collection.
The logistics of my Belgium delivery
Once the blush arrives at my US address, the next step is getting it to my door. I always check the shipping calculator before I buy so I can estimate shipping cost accurately. For a small item like a blush, I usually wait and consolidate it with a few other items—maybe some clothes or other skincare—to make the international shipping rates more economical.
The international shipping service provided by comGateway is quite fast. I usually see my Belgium delivery arrive within 5 to 8 business days once it leaves the warehouse. They offer tracking through major carriers like DHL and FedEx, so I can watch my Electric Pink blush travel from Oregon all the way to my doorstep.
Managing shipping fees and Belgian VAT
We all know that importing goods into Belgium means dealing with VAT and potentially customs duties. When I ship to Belgium, I make sure to account for the 21% VAT that will be collected. While this adds to the cost, the fact that I am not paying US sales tax (thanks to the Oregon address) helps offset some of the shipping fees.
If you are looking to buy from US ship to Belgium, my advice is to keep an eye on the total weight. Small, high-value items like the Rare Beauty collection are perfect for this. I have found that the international shipping costs are much more manageable when you use the consolidation feature, which merges multiple packages into one box to save space.
I am currently waiting for my 2026 Electric Pink blush to clear customs, and I couldn't be more excited. By using a shop us ship international strategy, I avoided the local out-of-stock heartbreak and secured exactly what I wanted. If you have been struggling with cancelled orders at US stores, I highly recommend trying the BuyForMe route—it was the only thing that worked for me.
