My obsession with the 2026 Iced Matcha edition

I woke up four days ago to my Xiaohongshu feed absolutely exploding. Every influencer from Shanghai to New York was swatching a pale, creamy green tube that looked exactly like a high-end ceremonial latte. It was the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in 'Iced Matcha', a 2026 limited edition release that, for some reason, was only made available on the US website and select US boutiques. We all know the drill: the scent is supposedly a perfect mix of vanilla bean and toasted green tea, and the tint is that subtle, milky glow that everyone is chasing this year.

I knew I couldn't wait for a potential European release that might never happen. As someone living in France, I've seen these limited drops sell out in minutes, only to reappear on resale sites for triple the price. I needed to get my hands on it directly from the source to ensure I was getting the authentic 2026 formula, not a knockoff.

The struggle of being a collector in France

The problem is always the same. Summer Fridays often prioritizes their home market for these viral scents. When I tried to check out on their official site, I was met with the dreaded "We do not ship to your location" message. Usually, this is where I would give up or start begging friends in the States to go to a Sephora for me. But I wanted a solution that didn't involve bothering anyone or filling out a mountain of customs declarations myself.

I decided to try a more streamlined approach. I realized that if I could just get a tax-free us address, I could shop like a local. That is when I looked into using comGateway. I had used them once before for a pair of sneakers, but I wasn't sure if it would work for a single tube of lip balm. I wanted the "lazy method"—minimal effort, maximum results.

Shipping Estimates for my Summer Fridays haul

Before I committed to the purchase, I did a quick breakdown of what the logistics would look like. If you are planning to order this balm or a few other items from the 2026 collection, here is what I estimated for the package journey to France.

Because the item is so light, I highly recommend "bundling" it. I used the shipping calculator to see the price difference between shipping one balm versus three. The cost hardly changed because the weight was so low. This is the secret to making the international shipping worth it: never ship just one tiny tube if you can help it!

How I used a tax-free US address to simplify everything

The reason I call this my "lazy method" is that I didn't have to deal with the US sales tax that usually gets added at checkout. By shipping my 2026 Iced Matcha balm to a warehouse in a tax-free state, I saved about 7-10% right off the bat. I simply entered the address provided by my freight forwarder at the Summer Fridays checkout, and the order went through instantly.

I was a bit worried about whether beauty products were considered restricted goods. I took a quick look at the list of prohibited items and confirmed that non-aerosol lip balms are perfectly fine for air travel. Unlike perfumes or nail polishes which can be tricky, these butter balms are easy to clear through customs.

Handling the arrival in France without the stress

One thing we often worry about in France is the sudden invoice from La Poste or a courier for VAT and processing fees. My lazy method involved choosing a shipping option that allowed me to see these costs upfront. Using an international shipping service that specializes in US-to-France routes meant that my package didn't get stuck in a mysterious limbo at the border.

I also made sure to keep my total order value within a reasonable range to avoid unnecessary scrutiny. Since it's 2026, the digital customs systems are much faster, but you still want to be accurate with your descriptions. I just labeled mine as "Lip Cosmetics" and let the experts handle the rest.

My personal workflow for US beauty drops

If you want to replicate what I did, here is the exact step-by-step guide I followed to get my Iced Matcha fix:

• Step 1: I signed up for a free US address. This gave me a dedicated space in a tax-free warehouse.
• Step 2: I went to the Summer Fridays website and added the 2026 Iced Matcha balm to my cart. I used my new US address for the shipping details.
• Step 3: Once the package arrived at the warehouse, I received a notification. I chose to wait a day to see if any other orders arrived so I could combine them.
• Step 4: I selected international shipping to my home in Paris.
• Step 5: I tracked the package across the Atlantic. It arrived at my door in about 6 days.

It really was that simple. I didn't have to call anyone or send any faxes. The balm is even better than the photos—it smells exactly like a fresh matcha latte with a hint of sweetness. If you are tired of missing out on these US-exclusive drops, I highly suggest setting up your own shop us store workflow so you're ready for the next viral release.
