Buy It For Me

Matcha has moved beyond the cafe and into our vanity cases. The appeal lies in the subtle, sheer finish that provides a hint of brightness without looking overtly green on the lips. In 2026, the 'clean girl' aesthetic has evolved into something more earthy and grounded, making the Iced Matcha balm a staple for anyone following [popular products](https://www.comgateway.com/trends/) in the skincare-makeup hybrid space.

Evaluating the formula and finish

Using a blend of vegan waxes, shea butter, and murumuru seed butter, Summer Fridays has maintained the signature texture that made their original Vanilla balm a cult favorite. The Iced Matcha version adds a refreshing, creamy scent reminiscent of a high-end latte. For Australians, getting a hold of this product isn't just about the hydration; it's about the prestige of owning a limited-edition item that hasn't officially hit the Southern Hemisphere. Because the US retail price is significantly lower than the projected Australian markup, many shoppers are looking for ways to [shop us store](https://www.comgateway.com) directly to avoid the price gap.

Scoring the US exclusive from Australia

Purchasing directly from American retailers is often the only way to secure these limited drops before they sell out globally. Since many US-based beauty sites do not offer direct international shipping to Australia, you will need a [freight forwarder](https://www.comgateway.com/freight-forwarder/) to act as your middleman. By signing up for a [tax-free us address](https://www.comgateway.com) through [comGateway](https://www.comgateway.com), you can have your balm shipped to a warehouse in a sales-tax-free state like Oregon before it is sent to your home in Australia.

Choosing to [forward packages](https://www.comgateway.com/freight-forwarder/) using a reputable [parcel forwarding service](https://www.comgateway.com/freight-forwarder/) ensures that your items are handled with care. This method is particularly effective when you want to bundle multiple [top us deals](https://www.comgateway.com/trends/) into one shipment to save on international transit costs. Rather than waiting months for a potential local release that may never happen, you can take control of your beauty collection now.

Calculating your shipping costs

Planning your budget is essential when importing luxury beauty products. The Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm is lightweight, which makes it an excellent candidate for [package forwarding](https://www.comgateway.com/freight-forwarder/). To get a precise idea of the total landed cost, you should use the [shipping calculator](https://www.comgateway.com/calculator/) to [estimate shipping cost](https://www.comgateway.com/calculator/) based on the dimensions and weight provided below.

Handling Australian import taxes and GST

Checking the current regulations for 2026 is vital for any international shopper. Since 2018, Australia has applied a 10% [GST/VAT](https://www.comgateway.com/blogs/category/duties-and-tax/) to low-value imported goods. This means that even a single lip balm will technically incur this tax. You should also be aware of potential [import duties](https://www.comgateway.com/blogs/category/duties-and-tax/) if your total order value exceeds AUD $1,000, though a single beauty haul rarely reaches this threshold.

Check our guide on [customs tax](https://www.comgateway.com/blogs/category/duties-and-tax/) to see how these fees are collected. Typically, the [import tax](https://www.comgateway.com/blogs/category/duties-and-tax/) is calculated on the value of the goods plus the cost of shipping. Even with these additional costs, the extreme price gap between US and Australian boutique retail often means you still come out ahead when buying from the source.

Staying ahead of US beauty trends

Keeping an eye on the Northern Hemisphere's seasonal launches allows you to anticipate what will be trending in Australia six months later. By utilizing [comGateway](https://www.comgateway.com), you are effectively removing the borders from your shopping experience. Whether it is the Iced Matcha balm or the next viral skincare innovation, you have the tools to shop like a local in the USA from the comfort of your home in Australia.
