My jumbo-sized Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm Pink Sugar obsession is actually saving me money in Belgium

Why I am obsessed with the Pink Sugar Jumbo Edition

I have always been a fan of Summer Fridays, but when they announced the Jumbo size of the Lip Butter Balm in 'Pink Sugar' for 2026, my morning routine changed forever. This specific scent has always been my favorite because of its subtle sweetness and the perfect hint of pink tint it leaves on my lips. In the past, I found myself constantly scraping the bottom of the standard 0.5 oz tube, wishing I had more of that silky, vegan goodness. Now that the 2026 Jumbo Edition has arrived as a US Sephora exclusive, I knew I had to find a way to get it to my doorstep in Belgium.

Being part of the beauty community means I try to stay ahead of us trends. While the standard tubes are available in local European boutiques, the Jumbo version is a total rarity here. It is not just about having a bigger tube on my vanity; it is about the long-term value. I noticed that my friends in the UK were already doing the math and importing these from the States to save on the cost per ounce. I decided I wasn't going to let them have all the fun, or all the savings.

The math of importing versus buying locally

I am a smart shopper at heart, and I love a good spreadsheet. When I compared the price of the standard tube available in Brussels to the price of the US-exclusive Jumbo edition, the results were eye-opening. Even when I accounted for the cost of an international shipping service, the price per milliliter of the Jumbo version was significantly lower than buying multiple small tubes locally.

In 2026, we are all looking for ways to make our beauty budgets stretch further. I realized that by bundling my skincare favorites and getting the larger size, I was reducing the frequency of my orders. Instead of paying for local shipping every month, I make one big haul from the USA. This strategy works perfectly for products I know I will use every single day, like the Pink Sugar balm. I am essentially future-proofing my vanity while keeping my bank account happy.

How I use a tax-free US address to shop from Belgium

The biggest hurdle I faced initially was that many US retailers do not ship directly to Belgium, or if they do, the costs are astronomical. I solved this by using a tax-free us address provided by comGateway. This allows me to shop at US stores as if I were living in Oregon, which also means I do not pay any US sales tax on my purchase. It is a little trick I have used for all my American beauty hauls lately.

When I shop this way, I have the packages sent to my US suite. From there, I can decide when to ship them to Belgium. I often wait until I have a few items—maybe a new pair of sneakers or some tech gadgets—before I ship everything together. This consolidation is a massive part of how I keep my international shipping rates manageable. It feels like I have my own personal warehouse in the States.

Why I let comGateway handle my Sephora orders

I have to share a personal experience that almost ruined my shopping plans. When I first tried to buy the Jumbo Lip Butter Balm directly from Sephora's US site, my order was cancelled immediately. I quickly learned that many major US retailers, including Sephora, Nike, and Apple, often block international credit cards or flag orders that are being sent to a known forwarder. It was incredibly frustrating to see that 'Cancelled' status in my inbox.

I found the perfect solution through the comGateway 'BuyForMe' service. Instead of me trying to use my Belgian card, I simply told comGateway what I wanted. They used their own US domestic credit card to purchase the item on my behalf. This is by far the safest way I have found to guarantee that my order actually goes through. Since they are using a local payment method, the store treats it like a standard domestic purchase. I no longer have to worry about my orders being declined or my account being flagged. It takes the stress out of the equation entirely.

My tips for shipping to Belgium in 2026

Shipping to Belgium requires a little bit of planning, especially regarding customs and VAT. Since I am importing from outside the EU, I always make sure I am prepared for the local import duties. In my experience, being transparent on the customs declaration is the best way to avoid delays at the border. I always ensure my items are correctly labeled so the Belgian customs office can process them quickly.

Estimating my shipping fees

Before I click the buy button, I always use a shipping calculator to see what the total cost will be. I hate surprises when it comes to money. By entering the weight and dimensions of the Jumbo balm (and whatever else I am buying), I get a clear idea of the final price. This helps me decide if I should add one more item to my package to make the shipping cost even more worthwhile.

Checking for restricted goods

While lip balms are generally fine, I always make sure to double-check the list of prohibited items before I start a new haul. There are specific rules about aerosols or certain chemicals that can change from year to year. In 2026, it is easier than ever to check these rules online to ensure my package doesn't get stuck or sent back. Staying informed is the hallmark of a savvy international shopper.

I am currently sitting here with my Jumbo Pink Sugar balm, and I can honestly say it was worth the effort. My lips are hydrated, my vanity looks great, and I know I got the best possible deal by shopping smart. If you are in Belgium and dreaming of those US exclusives, I highly recommend trying this method. It has completely changed how I view my beauty routine.
