Why I am obsessed with the Iced Matcha Lip Butter Balm

I first saw the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in 'Iced Matcha' on my TikTok feed last week, and I knew I had to have it. It is a 'Rising Star' for a reason. The shade is a limited edition US exclusive, and the 'Clean Girl' aesthetic is currently massive here. I love the subtle green tint that goes on clear but feels incredibly nourishing. Since it is only available at US Sephora and the official Summer Fridays site, I had to figure out a way to get it to my doorstep in China without the order getting cancelled.

I frequently browse us trends to see what is worth the international shipping effort. This balm is definitely at the top of my list for May 2026. The matcha scent is refreshing, and the formula is the same cult-favorite vegan blend that everyone loves. I decided to build a logistical blueprint to ensure I didn't miss out on this drop.

My plan for shopping US stores from China

I started by setting up my tax-free us address. This is my secret weapon for US shopping. By using a freight forwarder based in a tax-free state like Oregon, I avoid the 7% or 10% sales tax that usually gets added at checkout. This alone pays for a chunk of the shipping costs to China.

My strategy was simple: buy the balm as soon as it launched on Sephora. However, I ran into a common problem that many international shoppers face. US Sephora is notoriously difficult with international payments. I tried my local card, but it was flagged immediately. I needed a way to look like a domestic US buyer.

Why I used the BuyForMe service for Sephora

I have learned the hard way that some US stores block international credit cards or refuse to ship to known forwarder addresses if they suspect a foreign transaction. This is exactly where my BuyForMe service strategy comes into play. Instead of fighting with the checkout page, I let the experts handle it.

I submitted a request for the Iced Matcha balm through the BuyForMe portal. They used a US-based credit card and a domestic billing address to purchase the item on my behalf. This is the safest way to guarantee that an order doesn't get cancelled by the retailer's fraud filters. It took the stress out of the process, and within 24 hours, my order was confirmed. I highly recommend this proxy shopping method for high-demand limited editions.

Shipping estimates and box details

Before I finalized everything, I used the shipping calculator to see what I would be paying. Since the lip balm is quite small, I planned to consolidate it with a few other items to make the most of the base shipping rate.

Shipping Estimates for Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm:

I always keep an eye on the weight. Even though this balm is light, the minimum weight for many shipments is 0.5 kg or 1 lb. If I were only buying one tube, I would be paying for a full pound of shipping anyway, so I usually add a few more skincare favorites to my cart.

Final arrival and customs in China

Once the package reached my US address, I selected the fastest international shipping service available. For China, I find that express options are more reliable for tracking. I was able to monitor my Iced Matcha balm as it flew from the US to the local sorting facility.

I made sure to keep my total order value within the personal effects limit for China customs to avoid any unnecessary delays. Because I used a professional forwarder, the documentation was handled correctly, and I didn't have to deal with any paperwork. My package arrived in perfect condition, and the 'Iced Matcha' shade is even better in person than it looked on TikTok. If you are looking to grab this 2026 limited edition, follow my blueprint and use a proxy service to save yourself the headache.
