Did I really just find a way to get the Glossier Strawberry Balm Dotcom to Italy with zero paperwork?

My obsession with the Glossier OG formula

I still remember when Glossier changed their Balm Dotcom formula to a vegan version. For many of us in the beauty community, it just wasn't the same. The lanolin-based original formula had a specific texture and staying power that the new version lacked. Fast forward to early 2026, and the news finally broke: the OG formula is back for good, and it brought a new friend—the Strawberry flavor.

Living in Italy, I noticed that our local European distribution hubs were either stocking the old vegan leftovers or selling out of the Strawberry OG formula within minutes. I didn't want to wait for a restock that might take months. I wanted that nostalgic, glossy finish and the sweet scent of summer on my lips immediately. That is when I decided to look directly at the source: the Glossier US store.

The Strawberry flavor mystery of 2026

The hype around the Strawberry Balm Dotcom isn't just about the scent. It's the fact that Glossier listened to their fans and reverted to the petrolatum and lanolin base that made them famous. This specific release has become one of the most popular products I have seen on social media this year. I kept seeing my friends in New York posting about it, while we in Milan were left refreshing our browsers in vain.

I realized that the only way to guarantee I received the authentic, fresh batch of the Strawberry flavor was to shop US store directly. It felt like a bit of a mission at first, but I found a way to make it incredibly simple. I didn't want to deal with complex export forms or confusing international checkouts. I just wanted my lip balm.

How I shop US stores from Italy without the stress

My secret to getting US-exclusive beauty products is what I call the "lazy method." Instead of hoping a brand offers affordable direct shipping to Italy (which they rarely do), I use a freight forwarder. This gives me a tax-free US address that I can use at checkout just like any American shopper would.

When I bought my Strawberry Balm Dotcom, I simply entered my dedicated US address provided by comGateway. Glossier shipped it to that warehouse in Oregon, and then the magic happened. I didn't have to worry about the logistics; the parcel forwarding service handled the transition from the US to my doorstep in Italy. If I ever run into a store that doesn't like my Italian credit card, I know I can just use the BuyForMe service to have them handle the purchase for me. It is essentially proxy shopping with zero effort on my part.

Shipping Estimates for your Glossier haul

I know what you're thinking: "Is it worth it for a small tube of lip balm?" Usually, I bundle my beauty hauls to save on costs. Here is what I discovered about the logistics of shipping this specific item from the US to Italy in 2026.

To get a better idea of the total price, I always use the shipping calculator before I finalize my order. It helps me estimate shipping cost so there are no surprises when the package arrives in Italy.

Why a freight forwarder changed my shopping habits

I used to spend hours trying to find Italian retailers that might have imported US goods, only to find they were charging triple the price. By using a package forwarding partner, I get the actual US price. My experience with forward packages from the States has been surprisingly smooth. I just wait for the notification that my package has arrived at the warehouse, click a button to ship it to Italy, and that is it.

If you are new to this, the FAQ on their site is a lifesaver. I spent a few minutes in their help center when I first started, and it cleared up everything regarding how they forward packages across the Atlantic. You might also like to check out their latest list of top us deals if you want to add more to your box and save on consolidated shipping.

Handling Italian customs the easy way

The beauty of the "lazy method" is that the freight forwarder often provides options to manage duties and taxes upfront. For Italy, this is a huge relief. I don't have to deal with the Poste Italiane paperwork or unexpected "contrassegno" fees at my door. We all know how much of a headache Italian bureaucracy can be, so having a support team to ensure the paperwork is handled correctly is a massive win for me.

I have found that by being strategic and using the assisted purchase options when needed, I can get all the latest us trends delivered to my home in Rome or Milan without ever leaving my couch. The Glossier Strawberry Balm Dotcom was just the start—now that I know how easy it is to forward packages, my makeup bag is looking a lot more international this year.
