Why I am obsessed with the Saie Roseglow Edition
As we get closer to Ramadan 2026, my social media feeds are absolutely flooded with the 'clean girl' aesthetic. The latest star of the show is the Saie Glowy Super Gel in the new Roseglow shade. It’s that perfect, lit-from-within flush that looks like you’ve actually slept eight hours and drank three liters of water. I love that it’s formulated with skin-loving ingredients, but there is one massive problem: Roseglow is currently a US-exclusive release.
I’ve seen dozens of influencers in New York and LA raving about how it’s the perfect base for a natural Iftar look. It’s lightweight, non-comedogenic, and specifically designed to look like skin. My heart was set on it, but being based in Belgium, I knew I couldn't just walk into a store in Brussels and grab one. I had to find a way to shop us store options and get it shipped across the Atlantic.
The struggle of buying US exclusives from Belgium
My first instinct was to head straight to the Sephora US website. I’ve done this before for other brands, but 2026 seems to be the year where US retailers have really tightened their security. Many of the big beauty giants and high-end tech stores like Apple or Nike have started making it nearly impossible for international shoppers to buy directly. I tried to add the Roseglow gel to my cart, but I hit a wall at the checkout page.
Shipping a liquid highlighter might seem simple, but when it's a hot item, everyone wants a piece. I realized quickly that I needed a tax-free us address to even get past the first step of the shipping info. Even though I found a way to see the US inventory, the payment processing was a whole different beast.
Why my credit card kept getting declined at US stores
I tried my Belgian credit card three times. Each time, the transaction was instantly declined. This is a common headache for us in Europe. Many US stores are now programmed to automatically cancel orders if the billing address is outside the United States or if the card isn't issued by a US bank. It’s incredibly frustrating when you have the money and the store has the stock, but their system just says 'no'.
I also found out that some retailers specifically block addresses that they recognize as a freight forwarder. They want to keep their exclusives within the domestic market. I was about to give up on my Ramadan glow-up until I discovered a workaround that actually works for these difficult-to-buy stores.
How I used the BuyForMe service to bypass store blocks
This is where things changed for me. I used the BuyForMe service provided by comGateway. Instead of me trying to force my Belgian card through a US payment gateway, I simply told them what I wanted. They use a domestic US credit card to make the purchase on my behalf. This effectively solves the problem of retailers declining international payments.
The best part about this proxy shopping method is that it’s the safest way to guarantee an order doesn't get cancelled. Once they bought the Saie Roseglow for me, it was sent to my personal US suite. If you are tired of seeing that 'Order Cancelled' email five minutes after you hit buy, this is the solution you need. It’s specifically designed for those stubborn stores that don't like international credit cards.
My experience using a freight forwarder for the first time
Once my Roseglow Super Gel arrived at the warehouse, I needed to get it to my front door in Belgium. I’ve used a parcel forwarding service before, but the speed this time was impressive. Because Saie is a liquid-based product, I was a little worried about how it would be handled, but the packaging was solid.
I followed the how it works guide on the site, which made the process feel less like a logistics puzzle and more like a simple three-step task. My package was logged, I was notified, and then I was ready to ship it to Europe. Using comGateway gave me a sense of security because I could track the package every step of the way from Oregon to Belgium.
Estimating my costs and checking the rules
Before I committed to the shipment, I made sure to use the shipping calculator. I wanted to know exactly how much I’d be paying to get a single bottle of Super Gel to Belgium. Pro tip for my Belgian friends: remember that we have to pay VAT (21%) on imports. By using a tax-free us address in Oregon, I at least saved on the US sales tax, which offset some of the shipping costs.
I also took a quick look at the prohibited items list. While makeup is usually fine, some aerosols or high-alcohol perfumes can be restricted. Luckily, the Saie Super Gel is water-based and totally safe to fly. If you're unsure about a product, you might also like to check our guide on restricted goods before you buy.

My final verdict on the Roseglow glow
So, was it worth the extra effort to forward packages across the ocean? Absolutely. The Roseglow shade is unlike anything I can find in our local shops right now. It gives me that effortless beauty look that is so popular this year, especially for the gatherings during Ramadan. If you are struggling with a US store that won't take your card, don't just sit there—try the BuyForMe service and get what you actually want.
My package arrived in Belgium in just under a week, and I didn't have to deal with any merchant cancellations. If you're looking to upgrade your beauty routine for 2026, don't let borders stop you from getting the best products.
