How I snagged the Saie Jumbo Starglow from the US for way less than Belgian prices

April 06, 2026

I have been obsessed with the 'glass skin' trend on Xiaohongshu lately, and every creator I follow is raving about the Saie Glowy Super Gel in the Starglow shade. It gives that effortless, lit-from-within look that we all want for the 2026 spring season. However, there was a catch: the new Jumbo Size is a US exclusive. I knew I had to find a way to get it here to Belgium without waiting months for a local release that might never happen.

The Jumbo Size is a total 'Rising Star' in the clean beauty world because it offers way more product for a much better price point. I use this stuff as a primer, a highlighter, and even mixed with my body lotion, so the standard bottle just wasn't cutting it for me anymore.

The massive price gap that made me shop the US store

When I looked at what I was paying for the standard size at retailers in Europe, I realized I was spending nearly double per ounce. Even with the current exchange rates in 2026, I found that I could shop us store sites and get the Jumbo bottle for a fraction of the unit price. The savings were so significant that it made sense to bundle a few other US-exclusive beauty items into my order.

By using a tax-free us address, I avoided the local US sales tax at checkout, which is a trick I always use when I'm ordering high-end skincare or makeup. It makes a huge difference when you are trying to justify the international shipping costs to Europe.

How I used a freight forwarder to get it to Belgium

Since the store I was buying from didn't offer direct shipping to Brussels, I decided to forward packages using a reliable partner. I chose comGateway as my freight forwarder because they have always been consistent with their delivery times for my previous hauls.

Once my Saie bottle arrived at my US address, I could see it in my dashboard. I used their international shipping rates table to compare my options. I usually go with the express route because I'm impatient when it comes to new makeup, but their standard shipping fees are also very reasonable for smaller items like this.

My shipping estimates for the jumbo bottle

If you are planning to order this specific Saie Glowy Super Gel (Jumbo Size - Starglow), here is a breakdown of what I estimated for the logistics part of the journey. This helps when you use the shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost before you hit the buy button.

Factor Estimate Detail
Box Weight Approx. 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs) including protective packaging.
Box Dimensions Small (roughly 15cm x 10cm x 8cm).
Volumetric Warning Low. This item is dense and small, so volumetric weight is unlikely to exceed actual weight.
Battery Check No lithium batteries. This is a liquid cosmetic, so it follows standard liquid shipping rules.

Dealing with import duties and taxes in Belgium

One thing I always tell my friends is to prepare for the import duties. In Belgium, we have to deal with GST/VAT and sometimes a small customs tax depending on the total value of the package. I find it's best to check the latest 2026 regulations for import tax so there are no surprises when the delivery driver knocks on the door.

Check our guide on import duties and taxes if you are worried about the extra costs. Usually, for a single beauty product, it is quite manageable, especially since I saved so much on the base price by shopping in the US.

Final thoughts on my 2026 glass skin routine

I am so glad I took the leap and ordered the Jumbo Saie Glowy Super Gel. It is the perfect base for my daily makeup, and having the larger size means I won't run out halfway through the summer. The process of using a parcel forwarding service was much smoother than I expected, and it really opened up my options for brands that aren't easily available in Belgium.

If you have been eyeing this viral product on social media, don't let the 'US exclusive' tag stop you. My experience showed me that with a little bit of planning and a good package forwarding setup, you can get that 2026 glow delivered right to your doorstep.
