The math behind getting Summer Fridays' 2026 collection to the Netherlands from the USA

The hype around the 2026 High-Shine Collection

It has only been five days since Summer Fridays released "The Dream Lip Oil" High-Shine Collection on April 15, 2026. If you have been on TikTok lately, your feed is likely full of creators swatching these new shades. The 2026 collection is different from their previous drops because the formula focuses on a glass-like finish that supposedly stays put longer than the original 2024 versions. The new shades, particularly 'Solar' and 'Midnight Bloom,' are currently the most sought-after items in the beauty community.

For those of us living in the Netherlands, seeing these reviews is frustrating because the collection is currently a Sephora US exclusive. There is no confirmed date for when these will hit European shelves, which means the only way to get them right now is to shop us store directly.

Why the Netherlands is still waiting for local stock

Beauty brands often prioritize their home market for major launches. Summer Fridays is a US-based brand, and their partnership with Sephora North America often includes a 3-to-6 month exclusivity window. While we eventually get most products in the Netherlands via local retailers or specialized beauty boutiques, waiting until late 2026 is not an option for many enthusiasts who want to wear these shades during the summer months.

The actual cost of buying from US stores

There is a noticeable price gap when you compare US retail prices to what we eventually pay in Europe. In the US, "The Dream Lip Oil" retails for roughly $26. By the time it reaches the Netherlands, after distributor markups and local VAT, that price often jumps to €35 or more. Even with shipping costs, buying multiple shades from the US can often be more cost-effective than waiting for local resellers who hike up the prices due to scarcity.

To see how the numbers work out for your specific order, you can use a shipping calculator to estimate the total landed cost. This helps in deciding whether to buy just one lip oil or to bundle a few other US-exclusive beauty items to make the shipment more efficient.

Bundling for better value

Since you are already paying for international transit, many shoppers in the Netherlands add other US-only brands like certain Glossier sets or Rare Beauty exclusives to their cart. This spreads the shipping cost across multiple items, making the per-unit price much lower than anything you would find on the local market.

Getting past the Sephora checkout block with BuyForMe

A common problem when trying to buy the Summer Fridays 2026 collection is the checkout process itself. US stores like Sephora, Apple, and Nike are known for being very strict. They often block orders that use international credit cards or cancel shipments destined for known package forwarding addresses. It is a frustrating experience to spend an hour picking shades only to have your order cancelled ten minutes later.

The comGateway "BuyForMe" service is the solution for these difficult stores. Instead of you trying to navigate the US payment system with a Dutch card, comGateway buys the items on your behalf using a US domestic credit card. This is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled by Sephora's automated fraud filters. You simply tell them what you want, and they handle the purchase, ensuring the product actually reaches your tax-free us address without the usual payment headaches.

The logistics of Netherlands delivery

Shipping cosmetics requires a bit of care, but Netherlands delivery is generally very reliable. Once your Summer Fridays order arrives at the US warehouse, you can choose your preferred shipping speed. Most packages reach Amsterdam or Rotterdam within 3 to 8 business days depending on the tier of service you select.

If you have questions about specific items or customs, the FAQ section covers most of the common concerns regarding prohibited items and insurance. Lip oils are perfectly fine to ship, and because they are lightweight, they are ideal for international forwarding.

How to order your lip oils today

The process is simpler than it looks. First, you get your US address from a freight forwarder. Then, you head to the Sephora US site. If you want to avoid any risk of cancellation, use the BuyForMe service mentioned above. If you want to try your own card first, just use your assigned US address at checkout.

For a detailed breakdown of the logistics, you can view the how it works page. It explains how your package is received, how you can consolidate multiple orders into one box to save money, and how the final delivery to your door in the Netherlands is handled. Given that the 2026 High-Shine Collection is already selling out in certain shades, moving quickly is usually the best strategy.

The 2026 collection from Summer Fridays is definitely a step up in terms of pigment and shine. While it is a bit of a process to get it to the Netherlands right now, using a forwarder makes the US-exclusive barrier much easier to manage.
