The 2026 Iced Coffee Craze Explained

Following the massive success of the 'Espresso' aesthetic in late 2025, Summer Fridays has dominated TikTok feeds again with their latest 2026 limited edition drop: the Lip Butter Balm in 'Iced Coffee'. This shade offers a sheer, cool-toned latte tint that has beauty enthusiasts in Kuala Lumpur and across Malaysia scrambling for stock. While it looks delicious and hydrates like a dream, the real challenge isn't finding the product—it's getting it to Malaysia without paying double the price.

Beating the Malaysian Reseller Markup

Malaysians often face a hidden barrier when trying to keep up with global beauty trends: the "Boutique Tax." Currently, boutique importers and independent resellers on local marketplaces are listing the Iced Coffee balm at nearly 200% of its US retail price. These importers often source through Korea or secondary markets, adding layers of cost that you shouldn't have to bear. You can easily shop US store sites directly and keep those extra Ringgits in your pocket.

Using a freight forwarder allows you to bypass these middlemen. By shipping to a tax-free US address, you avoid US sales tax and gain access to the same stock that US-based influencers are flaunting on your FYP.

What if my Malaysian card is declined?

Sometimes, US retailers like Sephora or the official Summer Fridays site can be picky with international credit cards. If you run into a checkout wall, you can use an assisted purchase service. This proxy shopping feature means a US-based team handles the transaction for you, ensuring you don't miss out on this limited 2026 shade.

Ordering from US Retailers to Malaysia

To get the best deal, head to major US retailers where the Iced Coffee balm is sold at the standard MSRP of $24 USD. Once you've secured your balm, your international shipping service will take over. Choosing comGateway ensures your package is handled with care and shipped via reliable couriers like DHL or FedEx.

If you're unsure about the process, the support team and the FAQ section provide detailed steps on how to manage your shipments from the warehouse to your doorstep in Malaysia.

Shipping Estimates for Lip Butter Balms

Since the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm is a lightweight cosmetic item, it is highly affordable to ship. However, we recommend consolidating it with other items to maximize your shipping value.

Metric Estimate
Box Weight Approx. 0.2 kg (including protective packaging)
Box Dimensions Small (Approx. 15cm x 10cm x 5cm)
Lithium Battery No (Standard topical cosmetic)

Volumetric Warning: While a single lip balm is very light, shipping it alone in a large box could trigger higher costs. We suggest using a shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost based on the final dimensions. If you are only buying one tube, consider the 'One-Package' shipping option to save money.

Before you ship, always check the shipping rules to ensure you aren't adding any prohibited items to your cart that could delay your beauty haul.

Handling Malaysian Import Taxes

Importing beauty products into Malaysia requires a bit of knowledge regarding import duties. Currently, in 2026, Malaysia maintains a de minimis threshold. If your total shipment value (including shipping) stays below a certain amount, you may avoid heavy customs tax.

Check our guide on GST/VAT and import tax to see how these regulations apply to your specific order. Generally, for personal use, a few tubes of lip balm will pass through customs smoothly as long as you provide an accurate declaration of the contents.
