Why the Kosas BB Burst is all over my feed
I have been obsessed with the 'glass skin' look lately, and it seems like everyone in Korea and the US is talking about the Kosas BB Burst Tinted Gel Cream. Even though we are well into 2026, the demand for this skincare-first formula has not slowed down. I noticed it is incredibly difficult to find at local retailers here in Singapore, and when it does appear, the markup is usually quite high. I started looking into us trends to see if I could find a better way to get it.
What makes this product special is the way it hydrates while providing just enough coverage. It is basically a copper peptide treatment disguised as makeup. Since I could not wait for a local restock that might never come, I decided to use a parcel forwarding service to grab it directly from the source.
The math on shipping to Singapore
I am always looking for the smartest way to shop, so I sat down to do the math. I found that buying the tube in the US and using comGateway to send it to my house was actually more cost-effective than I expected. I used the shipping calculator to see if the total cost would stay within my budget. By using my tax-free us address, I saved on US sales tax, which helped offset the international shipping rates.

Shipping estimates and what to expect
I wanted to share the logistics details I gathered for anyone else in Singapore planning to shop us store sites for this specific item. It is a small product, but knowing the dimensions helps you plan your haul.
| Factor | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Box Weight | Approx. 0.5 lbs (0.23 kg) for a single unit. |
| Box Dimensions | Small (roughly 6 x 4 x 2 inches). |
| Volumetric Warning | This item is very dense and small, so you do not need to worry about volumetric weight unless you are buying a massive amount of bubble wrap! |
| Battery Check | This product contains no lithium batteries. You can check other shipping rules if you are adding electronics to your cart. |
How I avoid order cancellations with BuyForMe
One thing I learned the hard way is that many popular US stores like Sephora or the official Kosas site sometimes block international credit cards. We have all felt that frustration when an order gets cancelled because the billing address does not match a US zip code. This is where I found the "BuyForMe" service at comGateway to be a lifesaver.
The problem is that these stores are very strict about who they sell to. The solution I use is the BuyForMe service, where the team buys the item for me using a US domestic payment method. The biggest benefit is the peace of mind. I do not have to worry about my order being flagged or cancelled, which is the safest way to guarantee I actually get my hands on the BB Burst during a limited-time sale.
Finding the right shade in 2026
Since I am buying from a freight forwarder, I spent a lot of time looking at shade swatches online. The range is quite extensive, and I wanted to make sure I got it right the first time to avoid the hassle of international returns. I found that US retailers often have the most up-to-date shade descriptions and customer photos.

I eventually settled on my shade after reading through several Reddit threads where users compared it to other popular 2026 foundations. Once I had my shade, I placed my order through the package forwarding service and it arrived at my door in Singapore in about 6 business days. For me, the small extra effort of shipping from the US was totally worth getting the exact product I wanted without the local markup.
