I found a way to butter up my vanity in France with the 2026 Summer Fridays set from the US

The Summer Fridays Frenzy

We are well into April 2026, and my social media feed is absolutely saturated with the Summer Fridays 'The Lip Butter Balm Set' (Summer 2026 Edition). If you are like me and live in France, you know the struggle of seeing these gorgeous US Sephora exclusives and feeling that pang of FOMO. This year, the hype is centered around the inclusion of 'Iced Coffee' and 'Pink Sugar' alongside the new seasonal shades. I realized quickly that if I wanted these tubes without paying a fortune to local resellers, I had to go straight to the source.

Why the US Set Wins

I did some quick math and the logic is undeniable. In France, buying individual tubes of the Lip Butter Balm can really add up, especially with the limited availability of certain shades. The 2026 US set bundles four full-sized products at a price that makes each tube significantly cheaper than anything I can find in Paris or Lyon. Even when we account for international transit, the bundle value is hard to beat. I wanted that specific 'Iced Coffee' tint for my spring look, and this set was the only way to get it at a reasonable price point.

My Shipping Strategy

Since Sephora US doesn't ship directly to my French address, I needed a reliable parcel forwarding service. I decided to use a tax-free us address provided by comGateway. This allowed me to avoid US sales tax at checkout, which already saved me a few Euros right off the bat. Before I committed, I made sure to estimate shipping cost using their online tools. It gave me peace of mind knowing exactly what I was getting into before the package even reached the warehouse.

Shipping Estimates for France

I know many of you are curious about the logistics of moving beauty products across the Atlantic. Based on my experience with the Summer Fridays 'The Lip Butter Balm Set' (Summer 2026 Edition), here are the details I gathered to help you plan your haul.

Handling Customs in France

Shipping to France means I have to be mindful of import tax. Since 2021, all items entering the EU are subject to VAT. When my set arrived, I was prepared for the standard French VAT rate. I found that even after paying the customs tax, I was still saving money compared to buying these shades individually from boutique shops in Europe. If you have questions about specific charges, the help center has a very detailed FAQ section that covers most European tax scenarios.

Step-by-Step Buying Process

I followed a simple step-by-step guide to ensure my balms arrived safely. First, I signed up for my US address. Then, I placed my order on Sephora US using that address as the shipping destination. Once the warehouse received it, I received a notification to forward packages to my home in France. The process for how it works is quite intuitive, and I managed to track the box every step of the way from Oregon to my doorstep. My lips have never been more hydrated, and my wallet is surprisingly happy with the decision to shop the US store directly.
