The price of Summer Fridays Birthday Cake in Spain is way higher than US Sephora shops

The Birthday Cake shade is still the 2026 aesthetic champion

It is March 23, 2026, and the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in the Birthday Cake shade remains the most sought-after item for anyone following the clean girl aesthetic. The subtle shimmer and the nostalgic scent have made it a viral sensation across Europe. However, if you live in Spain, you have probably noticed that finding this specific shade in local boutiques or even through major European distributors is a constant struggle. When it does appear in stock, the markup is often enough to make you reconsider your purchase.

The Birthday Cake variant was originally launched as a limited edition, but the demand was so high that it has become a staple in the US market. While shoppers in Asia are reporting massive stockouts and inflated resale prices, the most reliable way to secure one right now is to look toward the United States. US retailers like Sephora and the official Summer Fridays website keep a much steadier supply of this fan favorite.

Buying from US retailers is significantly cheaper than local Spain shops

The price difference between the US and Spain is quite startling. In the United States, the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm retails for approximately $24. In Spain, if you can find a specialty importer, you might see prices reaching €35 or more. Even with currency conversion, you are paying a heavy premium for local access. This is why many savvy shoppers prefer to shop us store websites directly.

By using a tax-free us address provided by comGateway, you can avoid paying US sales tax on your purchase. This instantly lowers your initial cost. When you combine the lower US retail price with the tax savings, buying multiple tubes or adding other beauty favorites to your cart makes the international shipping costs much more manageable. Check our guide on import duties to see how this affects your total spend.

Why Sephora US is the best option

Sephora US often offers exclusive sets and samples that aren't available in Spanish locations. If you are already planning to buy the Birthday Cake balm, you can usually pick up other trending 2026 products that haven't hit the European market yet. This maximizes the value of your shipment and ensures you have the latest beauty tech before everyone else in your city.

How to get your order delivered to Spain

If you have never ordered from the US before, the process is very straightforward. Most US stores do not ship directly to Spain, or if they do, the costs are astronomical. This is where a freight forwarder becomes essential. You simply use your dedicated US address at checkout, and once your package arrives at the warehouse, it is forwarded to your door in Spain. For a more detailed breakdown, you can view the step-by-step guide on the how it works page.

Shipping estimates for your lip balm haul

Since the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm is a lightweight beauty product, it is one of the most cost-effective items to ship internationally. Here is what you can expect for a typical shipment containing a few of these balms:

To get a precise quote for your specific order, you should use the shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost before you buy. Remember that shipping a single tube might be expensive per item, so consolidating several products into one box is the best strategy for Spain delivery.

Getting around payment issues with BuyForMe

A common hurdle for shoppers in Spain is that some US retailers, including Sephora and Nike, often block international credit cards. They might also decline orders that are being sent to known package forwarding addresses. This can be frustrating when you are just trying to get your hands on a specific lip balm.

The solution to this problem is the BuyForMe service. Instead of you placing the order yourself, comGateway buys the item on your behalf using a US-based domestic credit card. This virtually guarantees that your order will be accepted by the store. This is the safest way to ensure your Summer Fridays order doesn't get cancelled at the last minute. It removes the stress of dealing with payment declines and allows you to ship to Spain without any technical headaches.

Spanish customs and taxes

When you buy from US ship to Spain, your package will pass through Spanish customs. Since 2021, all items imported into the EU are subject to GST/VAT, regardless of their value. You should be prepared to pay the standard Spanish VAT rate (usually 21%) on your items when they arrive. Using a reliable service ensures that the paperwork is handled correctly, which helps avoid long delays at the border. Understanding how customs tax works in Spain will help you budget for the final delivery of your Birthday Cake lip balm without any surprises.
