My personal layout for getting the new Glossier You rollerball and solid to Singapore

February 10, 2026

Why I am obsessed with the new Glossier You formats in 2026

I have been a fan of the signature Glossier You scent for years, but 2026 feels like the year they finally perfected the portable version. As I prepare for my Spring travels, I noticed everyone on my feed talking about the revamped Rollerball and the refillable Solid perfume. Since Glossier still does not ship directly to Singapore, I knew I had to create a reliable plan to get my hands on them.

The new rollerball is particularly exciting because it allows for a more concentrated application on my pulse points, while the solid format is a literal lifesaver for my carry-on bag. I find that these formats are trending right now because we are all looking for ways to stay fragrant without carrying bulky glass bottles that might leak during a flight. My goal was to get both without paying a massive markup to local resellers.

My step-by-step plan for buying from the US Glossier store

My first step was setting up a way to shop like a US local. I always head over to comGateway to grab my tax-free US address. This is the foundation of my plan. By using a freight forwarder located in a tax-free state like Oregon, I avoid the 7-10% US sales tax that usually gets added at the checkout. It is a simple trick, but it saves me enough to basically cover part of my international shipping costs.

Once I had my address, I added the Glossier You Rollerball and the Solid perfume to my cart on the official US website. I prefer buying directly because I know the products are fresh and I get to pick those iconic pink pouches and samples that I love so much.

My method for budgeting the shipment

I do not like surprises when it comes to costs. Before I hit the 'buy' button, I used the shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost for my small parcel. Since the perfume items are light, the cost was very reasonable. I find that consolidating a few other US finds helps me get the most value out of the base shipping rate.

How I handle US stores that reject my Singapore credit card

I have run into a major wall before when trying to shop at certain US stores like Nike, Sephora, or even Apple. These stores often block international credit cards or simply decline any order that is being sent to a shop us store address provided by a forwarder. It is incredibly frustrating to see that "Order Cancelled" email hit my inbox five minutes after I think I have successfully purchased something.

My solution for this is the "BuyForMe" service. When I encounter a difficult store, I let the experts at comGateway handle the transaction. Basically, I tell them what I want, and they use a US domestic credit card to buy the item on my behalf. This is the safest way I have found to guarantee my order does not get flagged or cancelled by strict US retailers. It takes the stress out of the process, especially for high-demand releases where I cannot afford to lose my spot in line.

My strategy for international shipping and taxes

Shipping to Singapore involves a few more steps than just clicking 'order'. I always make sure to keep an eye on current import duties and GST/VAT rates. In 2026, the rules for customs tax are something I check frequently to ensure I am not caught off guard by an import tax bill when the package arrives at my door.

I find that being transparent with my declarations helps my packages clear customs faster. I always double-check my values and descriptions before the items leave the US warehouse. It makes the transition from the US to my home in Singapore much smoother.

What I checked regarding restricted goods before shipping

I had to be careful with this specific order because perfumes contain alcohol, which can sometimes be classified as restricted goods. I made sure to read up on the prohibited items list before I finalized my purchase. I discovered that while some shipping rules are strict for liquids, small quantities of perfume are usually manageable as long as they are handled as 'dangerous goods' or 'excepted quantities' by the freight forwarder.

I also checked the FAQ on the help center to see if there were any special surcharges for shipping flammable liquids. Knowing these prohibited items regulations beforehand saved me from having my package stuck in a warehouse indefinitely. If you're ever unsure, I highly recommend reaching out to the support team first.

My final verdict on the new travel formats

I am so glad I put this plan into motion. The Glossier You solid is perfect for my desk at work, and the rollerball is now a permanent resident in my travel bag. By using my tax-free US address and relying on the "BuyForMe" service for those finicky checkouts, I managed to get these US exclusives delivered right to my door in Singapore without any drama.

If you are looking to get these for your own Spring 2026 trips, I suggest following this layout. It is the most consistent way I have found to shop the US from abroad. You might also like my previous guide on how I consolidated my holiday beauty hauls to save on shipping!
