Is the Summer Fridays Birthday Cake balm actually worth the shipping cost to Hong Kong?

Why is everyone obsessed with the Birthday Cake balm?

The Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in Birthday Cake has become a viral sensation since its limited-edition release in mid-February 2026. Celebrating the brand’s latest anniversary, this specific scent features a subtle iridescent shimmer and a nostalgic vanilla fragrance that TikTok users cannot stop filming. Because it is a limited release, it frequently sells out within minutes on the official Summer Fridays website and at Sephora US.

Hong Kong beauty enthusiasts are often left watching these trends from afar because many US retailers do not offer direct overseas delivery. Using a freight forwarder is the standard way to bridge this gap, allowing you to access US-exclusive inventory from your home in HK.

The US store struggle for Hong Kong shoppers

Buying from major US retailers is rarely a straightforward process for international customers. Many stores have strict filters that detect non-US billing addresses or flagged warehouse locations. If you have ever tried to shop us store sites like Sephora or the official Summer Fridays shop, you might have experienced an immediate order cancellation.

The truth is that these brands often prioritize domestic customers. To get around this, savvy shoppers use a tax-free us address provided by an international shipping service. This allows you to checkout as if you were living in Oregon or Delaware, saving you from local US sales tax while ensuring your package has a place to land before it starts its journey to Hong Kong.

Shipping Estimates for Lip Butter Balms

Understanding the logistics of small beauty items helps you avoid surprises when the final bill arrives. While the lip balm itself is tiny, the way it is packaged for transit affects your international shipping rates.

If you are planning to buy multiple tubes or add other items to your haul, you can use the shipping calculator to get a more precise quote for your total package weight. You might also like to check our guide on prohibited items to ensure no other beauty products in your cart are restricted.

How BuyForMe solves order cancellations

The most frustrating part of global shopping is the dreaded "Order Cancelled" email. This happens because stores like Sephora often block international credit cards or refuse to ship to any known package forwarding address. This is where the BuyForMe service becomes essential.

Instead of risking a cancellation with your own credit card, comGateway’s BuyForMe team acts as your personal shopper in the US. We use a US-issued domestic card and a residential-style address to purchase the Summer Fridays Birthday Cake balm on your behalf. This is the safest way to guarantee your order is processed successfully during high-demand drops. Once we receive the item, we simply forward packages directly to your doorstep in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong import rules for beauty products

The reality of shipping beauty products to Hong Kong is quite favorable compared to other regions. Hong Kong remains a free port, meaning there are generally no duties or import taxes on cosmetics and skincare items. This makes it one of the most cost-effective locations to use a international shipping provider.

However, you should always stay updated via the FAQ section regarding any changes in local courier policies for liquids or creams. While lip balms are generally unrestricted, keeping an eye on the latest shipping rules ensures your 2026 anniversary edition balm arrives without a hitch. By combining several orders into one shipment, you can maximize your savings and enjoy the most coveted lip balm of the year before it disappears for good.
