Ordering Rare Beauty Ulta Exclusive Sets from the USA saves money compared to South Korean retailers

Understanding the 2026 Rare Beauty Ulta expansion hype

On February 1, 2026, Rare Beauty officially expanded its presence into Ulta Beauty stores across the United States. This move introduced a variety of exclusive sets and 2026-only shades of the iconic Soft Pinch Liquid Blush that are currently unavailable at international retailers like Space NK or Sephora Korea. For beauty enthusiasts in South Korea, these Ulta-exclusive bundles offer significantly better value than buying individual bottles locally, provided you know how to navigate the US checkout process.

More about shipping to South Korea

The 2026 collection features limited-edition packaging and multi-unit sets that allow fans to try multiple shades at a fraction of the cost of full-sized products. Because these items are restricted to the US market, demand in Seoul and Busan has spiked, leading to high markups by local resellers.

Comparing US retail prices with South Korean import markups

The price difference between buying from Ulta US and purchasing through a South Korean third-party reseller is substantial. In the US, a Soft Pinch Liquid Blush typically retails for around $23 to $25 USD. Exclusive Ulta sets often bundle three travel-sized blushes for approximately $35 USD. In contrast, South Korean boutique importers often list these same items at 60,000 KRW to 85,000 KRW, nearly doubling the cost.

By using a us package forwarding service, you can access the original US retail pricing. Even when adding international transport costs, the total remains significantly lower than local boutique prices, especially when purchasing multiple items in one shipment.

Securing exclusive shades using a US freight forwarder

To get your hands on these viral 2026 shades, you need a US shipping address. Most US beauty retailers do not ship directly to South Korea, or if they do, the costs are prohibitive. The most efficient method is to sign up with a freight forwarder like comGateway, which provides you with a **tax-free us address** in Oregon. This ensures you do not pay US sales tax on your Rare Beauty order, further increasing your savings.

If you are new to this process, follow this how it works guide to set up your account. Once you have your US address, simply enter it as the delivery destination on the Ulta website. Your package will be received at the warehouse and then forwarded to your doorstep in South Korea.

Using BuyForMe to bypass Ulta payment restrictions

A common hurdle for South Korean shoppers is the payment stage. US stores like Ulta, Sephora, and Nike often block international credit cards or automatically decline orders that use a billing address outside the United States. If your order is repeatedly cancelled, do not give up on those exclusive blush sets.

The solution is the comGateway BuyForMe service. This **proxy shopping** or **assisted purchase** option is designed specifically for difficult stores. You tell comGateway what you want to buy, and they will purchase the items on your behalf using a US domestic credit card. This is the safest way to guarantee your order is processed successfully and not flagged by the retailer's security filters. Using this service eliminates the frustration of payment declines and ensures you don't miss out on limited-stock 2026 exclusives.

Calculating shipping fees and import tax for South Korea

Before finalizing your purchase, it is important to understand the total landed cost. You can use the shipping calculator to get an accurate estimate of what the transport from the US to South Korea will cost. Generally, **international shipping** costs are determined by the weight and dimensions of the package.

For South Korean residents, the **import tax** rules are quite favorable for US goods. Under the KORUS FTA, personal imports from the USA are typically duty-free if the total value (including the item price and domestic US shipping) is under $200 USD. If you stay under this threshold, you will avoid additional customs duties and VAT. To maximize your savings, check the current international shipping rates and consider consolidating multiple beauty orders into one shipment to reduce the per-item delivery cost.
