The Pink Sugar obsession

I have been scrolling through my social feeds for weeks, and it seems like everyone has the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in the Limited Edition Pink Sugar Set. If you are like me and live in Switzerland, you know the struggle. We see these viral beauty staples trending in the US, but by the time they reach our boutiques, they are either sold out or marked up to eye-watering prices. I wanted that specific sheer pink tint and the sugary scent that everyone is raving about in 2026, but finding it locally was nearly impossible.

We often hear about how these sets are rarely available at Sephora Australia, but the situation here in Switzerland is just as tough. The Pink Sugar set is a US-exclusive multi-pack that includes shades we rarely see on our shelves. I realized that if I wanted to join the Pink Sugar club without spending a fortune on resale sites, I had to look directly at the source.

The price gap is real

When I compared the prices, I was shocked. In the US, the Summer Fridays set retails for a reasonable price, especially during seasonal sales. However, the few Swiss retailers that manage to import it often charge double. I checked my favorite local shop in Zurich, and the price they were asking was significantly higher than the US retail price plus shipping. That is when I decided to shop US store sites myself.

I have found that buying directly from the US is the only way to ensure I am getting the authentic product while it is still in stock. The Summer Fridays Pink Sugar Set is a hot commodity, and it disappears from shelves faster than I can say "lip gloss." By shopping like a US local, I managed to snag the limited edition shades before the rest of the world caught on.

My shipping strategy

The biggest hurdle for me was that the US stores wouldn't ship directly to my apartment in Switzerland. I didn't let that stop me. I decided to use a package forwarding service to get the job done. I signed up for a tax-free US address through comGateway, which allowed me to shop at US retailers as if I lived there.

My experience was surprisingly smooth. I followed their step-by-step guide to set up my account. Once I had my US address, I placed my order for the Summer Fridays set. The retailer shipped it to my new US address, and from there, I could manage everything online. It felt great to have control over my package, and I even used their shipping calculator to make sure the costs fit my budget before I committed.

Shipping estimates for the set

I know many of you are curious about the logistics of shipping beauty products. Based on my purchase of the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm set, here is what I found. This information should help you plan your own haul.

MetricDetails
Box WeightApprox. 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs)
Box DimensionsSmall (Approx. 20cm x 15cm x 10cm)
Volumetric WarningNot applicable; the item is compact and dense.
Battery CheckNo lithium batteries included.

Since these lip balms are quite light, the shipping costs are generally low. However, I always recommend checking the shipping calculator just in case you decide to add more items to your cart. One thing I learned is that because the item is light but the box might be slightly larger, you should keep an eye on the packaging. Thankfully, for a small beauty set, volumetric weight is rarely an issue.

Shipping to Switzerland involves a bit of paperwork, but it isn't as scary as it sounds. I made sure to check the ship to Switzerland page to understand the current import rules for 2026. Switzerland has specific VAT rates and customs fees that apply once your package crosses the border. By staying informed, I wasn't surprised by any extra charges when my Pink Sugar set arrived.

If you have questions about duties or how the process works for our specific region, I highly recommend visiting the support section on the website. They have a detailed FAQ that covers everything from tax limits to restricted items. I found that as long as I declared my items correctly, the process was incredibly efficient.

My final thoughts

I am so glad I took the leap and ordered my Summer Fridays Pink Sugar set from the US. My lips have never felt better, and I saved a significant amount of money compared to what I would have paid locally. The sheer pink tint is the perfect addition to my 2026 beauty routine, and the scent is just divine. If you are tired of waiting for Swiss shops to restock your favorite viral products, using a freight forwarder is a total lifesaver. It has opened up a whole new world of shopping for me, and I can't wait to plan my next US beauty haul.
