The shades are stunning, perfectly capturing that effortless 'clean girl' look that is still dominating us trends this year. The only problem?

Why everyone is obsessed with the 2026 Merit Summer shades

The 2026 Summer Collection introduced three new shades that are currently viral. They have that buttery, serum-like texture that feels like nothing on the lips but looks incredibly polished. Because Merit is a US-exclusive darling, these shades usually sell out fast. In France, we often have to wait months for these to show up on third-party sites, and even then, the color selection is limited. If you want the full range right now, you have to look toward the American market.

The lazy way to shop US stores from France

The most straightforward method to get these lipsticks is to use a freight forwarder. This gives you a tax-free us address to use at checkout. When you shop at major US retailers, you just put in that address, and your package gets sent there first before being moved to France. It is the easiest way to browse the full 2026 inventory without worrying about geographic restrictions.

How to handle stores that block French credit cards

Here is where things can get annoying. Some big US stores like Sephora or even Merit's own website are known for being picky. They often block international credit cards or automatically decline orders sent to a parcel forwarding service. If you have ever had an order cancelled five minutes after placing it, you know the frustration.

This is where the comGateway BuyForMe service becomes your best friend. Instead of you fighting with the checkout page, you just tell them what you want. They use a US domestic credit card to buy the items on your behalf. This is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled by the store's fraud filters. It is the true 'lazy method' because they handle the entire purchase process for you, so you don't have to worry about your French bank card being rejected.

Getting your package to France

Once comGateway receives your lipstick, you can decide when to ship it to your home in France. Before you buy, it is always a good idea to check the shipping calculator to see what the costs will look like. Shipping a few lipsticks is usually very affordable because they are lightweight.

Keep in mind that while makeup is generally fine, you should always check the list of prohibited items to make sure there are no new restrictions on specific liquid volumes for 2026. If you have questions about customs or how the process works, the FAQ section on the website is actually really helpful and covers most of the common French import questions.

How you save €45 on your Merit haul

Let's talk numbers. A single Merit Signature Lip retails for about $26 USD (roughly €24). In France, if you can even find them via resellers, they often go for €50 or €60 each due to the high markup and 'import fees' the sellers tack on. By purchasing three shades from the 2026 Summer Collection directly from the US, you are spending about €72 on the products. Even with shipping costs, you can easily save €45 on the total cost of a 3-item haul compared to buying from a local boutique reseller. Plus, you get the peace of mind that the products are authentic and fresh from the 2026 drop.
