Save €22 on the Merit Beauty The Minimalist Stick 2026 Formulation by dodging those Belgian shipping blocks

Why is the 2026 Merit Stick trending?

If you have been keeping an eye on us trends lately, you know that Merit Beauty has a grip on the "clean girl" aesthetic like no other brand. The Merit Beauty The Minimalist Stick (2026 Formulation) has just launched, and it is already flying off the virtual shelves. In 2026, the brand updated its cult-favorite complexion stick to include more fatty acids and a slightly more emollient texture that works better for those of us with dry skin patches.

For beauty enthusiasts in Belgium, the hype is real. It is not just a concealer and it is not just a foundation; it is that perfect middle ground for anyone who wants to look like they actually slept eight hours. However, the 2026 formulation also introduced a wider shade range that hasn't hit international distributors yet, making the US store the only place to get the full selection.

The hidden barrier: Shipping to Belgium

The problem is that Merit Beauty—and many major US retailers like Sephora—don't always make it easy for those of us living in Brussels, Antwerp, or Ghent. If you try to checkout directly, you often hit a wall where Belgian shipping addresses aren't accepted. This is the exact reason why using a freight forwarder has become the standard move for Belgian makeup collectors.

By using a tax-free us address, you can effectively act like a US customer. You buy the product, have it sent to your Oregon-based warehouse, and then ship it to your doorstep in Belgium. It sounds simple, but there are a few things you need to know about the logistics to ensure you actually save that €22 compared to buying from high-end European boutiques that mark up the price.

Shipping Estimates for the Merit Minimalist Stick

Before you hit the buy button, it helps to know what the package looks like. This is a compact beauty item, which is great for your wallet because shipping costs are largely determined by weight and size. You can always estimate shipping cost using the official tool to get a precise quote based on your specific city in Belgium.

How to shop US stores without order cancellations

Many shoppers in Belgium think that having a forwarding address is enough, but then they hit the second barrier: the payment wall. US stores are notorious for declining international credit cards. Even if you have the funds, if your billing address is in Belgium but your shipping address is in the US, the store's fraud detection might auto-cancel your order for the Merit Beauty The Minimalist Stick (2026 Formulation).

To shop us store sites successfully, you need a strategy that bypasses these automated blocks. Many people in the community suggest using specialized payment methods or, even better, a proxy service that handles the transaction for you.

Why the BuyForMe service is a must-have

This is where the BuyForMe service comes into play. If you have ever tried to buy from a store that refuses to ship to forwarders or won't take your Belgian card, this is your solution. Essentially, comGateway acts as your personal shopper. They use a US-based credit card to purchase the Merit stick on your behalf.

The main benefit of this proxy shopping method is reliability. You don't have to worry about your order being stuck in "pending" for a week only to be cancelled. It is the safest way to guarantee that the 2026 formulation actually reaches the warehouse. If you are ordering multiple items from different stores, the assisted purchase team can even help consolidate them into one box to save you even more on international shipping.

Avoiding the price markup

By purchasing directly from the US using the BuyForMe service, you are paying the US retail price. In Belgium, high-end makeup is often subject to a "luxury import markup" that can add 20-30% to the price before you even consider taxes. Even with shipping, buying from the source often results in significant savings.

Belgian import customs: What to expect

Belgium has specific rules for importing cosmetics. Since 2021, all items entering the EU are subject to VAT (Value Added Tax). When your Merit Beauty The Minimalist Stick (2026 Formulation) arrives in Belgium, you will likely need to pay the 21% VAT. However, because you are using a freight forwarder based in a tax-free US state like Oregon, you aren't paying any US sales tax. This helps offset the cost of the Belgian VAT.

Make sure to keep your invoices ready. The Belgian customs office is efficient, but they do require clear documentation of the product's value. If you have questions about how to declare your items, the help center has a wealth of information on international shipping documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I consolidate multiple makeup items?

Yes! One of the best ways to save money is to buy the Merit stick along with other products you can't find in Belgium. You can hold your items at the warehouse and ship them all at once. Check the FAQ for details on how long you can store items for free.

Is the 2026 formula safe to ship in summer?

The 2026 formulation is a solid-to-cream stick. While it is stable, Belgium's summers can occasionally get warm. It is recommended to choose a faster shipping method during peak heat months to ensure the product doesn't soften too much during transit. You can compare speeds using the shipping calculator.

What if Merit refuses to ship to a forwarder?

While most brands are fine with it, some have strict policies. If your order gets flagged, simply switch to the BuyForMe service. This bypasses the "forwarder" flag because the purchase is made through a domestic-looking transaction.
