Why the Marshmallow hype is real

I noticed my TikTok feed was completely taken over this week by the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in the limited edition 'Marshmallow' scent. As a fan of the brand, I understand why this specific drop is a massive hit in March 2026. It combines the famous non-greasy, high-shine formula with a nostalgic, sweet scent that users describe as a cloud of sugar. Because this is a limited edition US Sephora exclusive, we cannot find it in any physical retail stores across Seoul or wider South Korea yet. I keep track of these us trends to ensure I don't miss out on viral beauty drops that usually sell out within days.

Buy It For Me

My method for buying from Sephora US

I found that the most effective way to secure this balm is to purchase directly from Sephora's US website. Since Sephora US does not offer direct international shipping to my doorstep in Seoul, I use a tax-free us address provided by a package forwarding service. I simply enter my assigned US warehouse address at checkout. This allows me to shop us store sites just like a local resident. Once the package arrives at the warehouse, I use comGateway to manage the international leg of the journey. This parcel forwarding service is essential for beauty enthusiasts in Korea who want access to exclusive North American releases.

Shipping Estimates and Logistics

I want to help you estimate shipping cost before you place your order. Lip balms are small, but the way they are packed matters for the final price. Here is what I expect for a typical shipment of this item:

I always use the shipping calculator to see how adding a few more items might affect my total. Since the balm is so light, I often combine it with other popular products to maximize my shipping value. If you need more details on how the process works, you can visit the FAQ section on their site.

South Korea Customs and Import Rules

When I buy from US ship to South Korea, I always keep the de minimis value in mind. For personal imports from the USA to South Korea, the duty-free limit is currently $200 USD. Since the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm is priced well below this, you will likely not have to pay additional import taxes or duties unless your total shipment (including other items) exceeds that amount. I suggest checking the prohibited items list to make sure you aren't accidentally shipping restricted goods like flammable aerosols alongside your lip balm. For a smooth South Korea delivery, ensure your Personal Customs Clearance Code (PCCC) is ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

I often get asked if it is worth using a freight forwarder for just one small item. My logic is that for a limited edition 'Marshmallow' scent that may never release locally, it is the only way to get it. If you are worried about the process, the help center offers great support for first-time users. I have found that forward packages from the US is quite simple once you have your US address.
