Snagging the Summer Fridays Dream Lip Butter Balm Set from the US to Italy

March 31, 2026

The hype behind The Dream set

As of March 2026, the beauty world is buzzing about the Summer Fridays 'The Dream' Lip Butter Balm Set. While the brand has established a loyal following in Europe, this specific Spring 2026 vault is a US-only exclusive. The set includes two highly anticipated new shades: Iced Matcha and Guava. These colors have already gone viral across social media, but for those of us living in Italy, finding them at a local Sephora is currently impossible.

The formula remains the same buttery, vegan blend that fans love, but the scarcity of these specific shades has turned this set into a must-have collector's item. Since these are not slated for a European release until late 2026, the only way to get your hands on them right now is to shop US store sites directly.

Why Italy shoppers are looking to the US

Shopping directly from the United States is often the fastest way to access new releases. To do this effectively, many savvy shoppers use a tax-free us address provided by a freight forwarder. By sending your package to a warehouse in a state like Oregon, you avoid US sales tax, which keeps the initial cost of the Summer Fridays set as low as possible.

Using comGateway allows you to bridge the gap between US retailers and your doorstep in Rome, Milan, or anywhere else in the country. Once your package arrives at the US warehouse, you can manage your shipment and choose your preferred delivery speed.

Overcoming checkout barriers with proxy shopping

Even with a US address, you might run into a common roadblock. Many major US retailers, including Sephora and the official Summer Fridays site, frequently block international credit cards or automatically decline orders that use a known forwarding address at checkout. This can be incredibly frustrating when you are trying to secure a limited-edition release before it sells out.

The solution to this problem is using the comGateway "BuyForMe" service. Instead of you struggling with a declined card, their team performs proxy shopping on your behalf. They use a US domestic payment method to buy the item, ensuring the order is accepted and processed without issues. This is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled at the last minute, allowing you to buy for me the items that are usually restricted to US residents.

Shipping your balms to Italy

Once your Summer Fridays set is safely at the warehouse, it is time to arrange the ship to Italy. You can choose between various carriers depending on your budget and how quickly you want your new lip balms. Whether you prefer DHL international shipping for its speed or FedEx international shipping for its reliability, you have full control over the process.

Before you commit, it is a good idea to check the shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost. This tool helps you understand the international shipping rates before the package even leaves the US. You can also view a detailed breakdown of international shipping fees to ensure there are no surprises when your package arrives in Italy delivery zones.

Handling customs and import costs

When importing beauty products into the EU, you need to be aware of import tax and VAT. For Italy, shipments from outside the EU are subject to import duties and the standard VAT rate. To help you prepare for these costs, you can check our guide on customs tax and GST/VAT regulations for 2026.

Managing your international shipping through a reliable partner ensures that all necessary documentation is handled correctly, reducing the risk of your package getting stuck at the border. By calculating your import tax ahead of time, you can enjoy your Summer Fridays 'The Dream' Lip Butter Balm Set knowing exactly what the total investment was to bring these US-exclusive shades to your vanity in Italy.
