My secret for getting the Summer Fridays Marshmallow Lip Butter Balm shipped to the UAE

Why everyone is obsessed with Marshmallow

I’ve been seeing the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in the limited edition 'Marshmallow' scent all over my TikTok feed since it launched earlier this month in March 2026. If you are like me and obsessed with that perfect vanilla-meets-sugar scent, you probably felt the immediate sting of realization that this specific drop is a US Sephora exclusive. We can't just walk into a mall in Dubai or Abu Dhabi and pick this up yet.

The formula is exactly what we love—creamy, vegan, and giving that high-shine finish without being sticky—but the Marshmallow scent is the "it-girl" product of the season. My friends and I were desperate to get our hands on it before the limited stock vanished forever.

The US Sephora hurdle

The biggest issue I faced was that Sephora US doesn't ship directly to the Middle East. Even when I tried to use my local credit card, I realized I needed a reliable way to get my package from a US warehouse to my doorstep. I decided to use a tax-free US address provided by comGateway. This allowed me to shop the US store just like a local would, avoiding those pesky state taxes that usually add up at checkout.

How I use a freight forwarder for my beauty hauls

Whenever I find a product that isn't available locally, I rely on a freight forwarder to bridge the gap. For this specific lip balm, I had it sent to my US suite and then arranged for United Arab Emirates delivery. It is honestly the most straightforward way to get limited drops without waiting months for a local release that might never happen. If you are new to this, you can check the FAQ on their site to see how the suite system works.

Shipping estimates for your UAE delivery

I know we all worry about the cost of shipping a single small item. To help you plan your haul, I put together these estimates based on my recent experience shipping small beauty products to the UAE in 2026.

I always suggest using the shipping calculator before you hit the buy button. It helps me decide if I should add a few more items—like the latest Rare Beauty blush—to make the shipping cost per item more economical. You can find more details about shipping specifically to our region on the ship to United Arab Emirates page.

What I learned about UAE import tax

One thing I've learned from my years of online shopping is to always keep import duties in mind. In the UAE, there's usually a 5% VAT, and for shipments over a certain value, customs duties might apply. I always check the latest updates on customs tax to ensure I'm not surprised by any extra charges when the courier arrives at my door.

Checking the restricted goods list

While lip balm is perfectly fine to ship, I make it a habit to check the shipping rules for other beauty products. For example, certain pressurized aerosols or highly flammable perfumes can be flagged as restricted goods. You might also like to browse the full list of prohibited items if you're planning on adding nail polish or certain hairsprays to your Marshmallow balm order.

By following these steps, I managed to get my Summer Fridays Marshmallow balm in less than ten days. It’s sitting on my desk right now, and yes, it smells exactly like a toasted marshmallow. If you're in Dubai or anywhere else in the emirates, don't let the "US Only" tag stop you from getting the viral products you want this year!
