How I secured the Rare Beauty Tinted Moisturizer Stick from the US while in Malaysia

Why everyone wants the Rare Beauty Stick

I have been watching the Rare Beauty 'True to Myself' Tinted Moisturizer Stick take over my social feeds since it launched earlier this week. We have all seen the demos showing that incredible 'second skin' finish. It is not quite a foundation but offers more coverage than a traditional tint. For those of us in the humid Malaysian climate, a breathable stick format that does not melt off by noon is exactly what we need in 2026.

Buy It For Me

Just a moment, securing your connection...

The hype is real because Selena Gomez's team focused on a blurred, natural glow that doesn't feel heavy. I noticed that the 32-shade range is particularly inclusive, covering undertones that are often ignored in the SE Asian market. However, there is a catch that we always face when these viral products drop.

The struggle of buying beauty locally in 2026

I went to my local Sephora in Kuala Lumpur and was disappointed to find only a handful of shades available, and the stock was already depleted. Local retailers often have delayed launches, and we rarely get the full spectrum of shades that the US gets. If you want your specific undertone, waiting for a local restock can take months.

I decided I was not going to wait. I wanted the full selection, which meant I had to shop US store sites directly. By looking at the US Sephora and Rare Beauty websites, I had access to all 32 shades immediately.

How I shopped the US Sephora store

To get my package, I knew I needed a reliable freight forwarder. I have been using comGateway for a while because they provide a tax-free us address in Oregon. This is a huge win because it means I don't pay any US sales tax on my makeup haul, which saves me about 7-10% right off the bat.

The process was simple. I signed up for an account, got my US address, and headed to the checkout. But that is where I hit a common wall that many international shoppers face when trying to buy from US ship to Malaysia.

Overcoming blocked credit cards with BuyForMe

Here is the part where most people give up. Many US stores, including Sephora and Nike, often block international credit cards or automatically decline orders sent to known package forwarders. I tried using my Malaysian debit card, and my order was cancelled within minutes. It is incredibly frustrating when you just want to buy a moisturizer stick.

I solved this by using the BuyForMe service. This is a proxy shopping or assisted purchase feature where the team at comGateway buys the item on my behalf using a US domestic credit card. I just sent them the link to the Rare Beauty stick and my shade choice. They handled the transaction, and because they used a local US card, the order went through perfectly. If you are worried about your order getting cancelled, I highly recommend checking out their BuyForMe service details in their BuyForMe service section. It is the safest way to guarantee you actually get your items from difficult stores.

Calculating shipping costs to Malaysia

Once my stick arrived at my Oregon address, I had to decide on the shipping speed. I always use the shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost before I commit. This helps me decide if I want to add more items to my shipment to make the weight more efficient. Since the moisturizer stick is light, I actually added a few more Rare Beauty blushes to my cart to maximize the shipping value.

The Malaysia delivery options are quite flexible. I usually choose the express option because I am impatient, and it usually arrives at my door in about 5 to 8 business days. You can see more details about shipping times on the Malaysia delivery page.

Handling Malaysian customs and taxes

I am often asked about import duties and customs tax. In Malaysia, we have specific de minimis values where shipments under a certain amount may not incur heavy taxes. However, it is always smart to stay updated on current GST/VAT or import tax regulations. I always refer to the comGateway blog for their guide on import duties so I am not surprised by any extra charges when the courier arrives.

My experience getting the 'True to Myself' stick was seamless once I stopped trying to use my own card and let the pros handle the purchase. If you have more questions about how the warehouse works or how to consolidate packages, the FAQ and help center are great resources for support.

I am currently wearing shade 24N, and I can honestly say the effort of shipping it from the US was worth it for the perfect match. Happy shopping!
