The problem for those of us living in Taiwan is that Glossier still doesn't ship here directly. I tried looking at local resellers, but they often only carry the most basic shades and the prices are marked up so high it feels like a scam. I wanted the full experience and the right shade for my brows, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and shop US store sites directly.

The massive price difference in Taiwan

I did a quick comparison and was shocked. In the US, the Boy Brow Arch is priced reasonably for a premium product. However, by the time it reaches Taiwan through third-party sellers, the price practically doubles. When you factor in that many of these sellers can't even guarantee the items are from the latest 2026 batch, it makes more sense to buy from the source.

By using a package forwarding service, I found that I could buy the pencil at the actual US retail price. Even with the cost of shipping it across the ocean, I still ended up saving money compared to buying it locally. Plus, I got to choose from the full range of nine shades instead of just whatever was left in stock here.

How I use a tax-free US address to shop

The process was actually much simpler than I expected. I signed up for a tax-free US address which allowed me to avoid US sales tax on my Glossier order. If you're new to this, I highly recommend checking out this step-by-step guide on how the whole process works.

Basically, I shop on the Glossier website, enter my provided US address at checkout, and then my package is sent to a warehouse in Oregon. From there, my freight forwarder notifies me, and I can ship it straight to my door in Taiwan. I love being able to track it the entire way.

Solving the credit card block with BuyForMe

One thing I’ve run into before is that some US stores like Sephora, Nike, or even Apple can be really picky. They sometimes block international credit cards or refuse to ship to addresses they recognize as forwarders. It is incredibly frustrating to have your order cancelled after you've spent an hour picking out the perfect items.

To get around this, I used comGateway's "BuyForMe" service. Here is how we do it: I just tell them what I want, and they buy it on my behalf using a US domestic credit card. It is the safest way to guarantee my order doesn't get flagged or cancelled. Since they are the ones making the purchase, it looks like a standard domestic US transaction. If you've ever struggled with a store rejecting your Taiwan-issued card, this is the perfect solution.

Shipping estimates for your makeup haul

Since the Boy Brow Arch is quite small, I wanted to make sure I wasn't overpaying for shipping. I used the shipping calculator to get an idea of the costs before I hit buy. Here is a rough estimate of what you can expect for a small Glossier order:

I usually try to wait and buy a few things at once. Since the pencil is so light, adding a Milky Jelly Cleanser or a Cloud Paint doesn't usually increase the shipping cost by much at all.

Taiwan customs and shipping rules

Before you ship your beauty haul, you should always check the prohibited items list to make sure you aren't trying to send something restricted. For Taiwan, most makeup is fine, but there are limits on the quantity of certain medicated cosmetics. The Boy Brow Arch is a standard cosmetic, so it is generally safe for international shipping service protocols.

Don't forget that Taiwan requires the EZ WAY app for customs clearance. My package forwarding experience has always been smooth as long as my name and phone number in the app match my shipping details exactly. If you follow these steps, you’ll have your 2026 Glossier brow fix in no time!
