March 16, 2026

The Iced Coffee Craze

The beauty community is currently buzzing over the limited-edition Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in Iced Coffee. Released just this week in the US, this shade has already become a must-have item for influencers from Dubai to Milan. While the formula remains the same creamy, vegan dream we love, the tint is a perfect cool-toned brown that mimics your favorite morning brew. Because it is currently a US exclusive, finding it in Italian boutiques is nearly impossible without paying a massive premium. Keeping up with us trends doesn't have to mean draining your bank account for a single tube of gloss.

Calculating the Savings

Save €22 on your purchase by avoiding local resellers who are already listing this balm for upwards of €45 on auction sites. In the United States, the retail price sits at approximately $24 (roughly €22). Even when you factor in the cost of international shipping rates, the total price of a multi-item haul often beats local prices by a significant margin. If you are buying more than one item, the savings multiply. You can use a shipping calculator to see exactly how much it costs to bring this caffeine-inspired treat to your doorstep in Rome or Florence.

Using a Freight Forwarder

Since most US beauty retailers do not offer direct shipping to Italy for limited-edition drops, you will need a ship to Italy solution. By using a freight forwarder, you gain access to a tax-free US address. This allows you to shop at major retailers like Sephora US or the official Summer Fridays site as if you were living in the States. Once your package arrives at the warehouse, comGateway can ship it directly to you using reliable carriers. This method ensures you get the authentic product before it sells out globally.

Shipping Estimates

To help you plan your beauty haul, here are the estimated logistics details for the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm (Iced Coffee Edition). Please note these are approximations for a single unit in its retail packaging.

Box Weight Approx. 0.15 kg (0.33 lbs)
Box Dimensions Small (Approx. 15cm x 10cm x 5cm)
Volumetric Warning Low. This item is compact and not subject to volumetric weight surcharges unless packed in an oversized box.
Battery Check No lithium batteries. No special handling required for electronics.

Importing to Italy

When your package enters Italy, it will be subject to local customs regulations. It is important to account for the import tax and VAT (IVA) which is generally 22% for cosmetic goods. While these fees are an additional cost, the "Price Gap" remains in your favor because the US retail price is so much lower than the European secondary market. Understanding import duties beforehand helps you avoid surprises when your courier arrives. For the most efficient experience, international shipping via DHL or FedEx often includes streamlined customs clearance processes.

Assisted Buying

Sometimes US stores decline non-US credit cards or require a local billing address. If you encounter this hurdle, the BuyForMe service is the perfect workaround. Through proxy shopping, an agent will purchase the balm on your behalf, ensuring you don't miss out on the limited-edition Iced Coffee drop. This assisted purchase option is especially useful for high-demand beauty releases that sell out in minutes. Once the item is secured, it is processed just like any other package for Italy delivery.
