How I got the US-exclusive Fenty Eaze Drop Pro-Size stick to South Korea in record time

The hype behind the 15g Pro-Size stick

I have been obsessed with the 'no-makeup' makeup trend lately, and my search for the perfect base led me straight to the Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop Stick. However, I noticed a huge problem. While my friends in the UK are stuck with the standard 9g version from Boots, the US just launched a massive 15g Pro-Size stick. It is literally almost double the product for a much better price point, but it is a US exclusive. As someone living in South Korea, I knew I had to find a way to get my hands on it before it sold out in 2026.

The 15g stick is the holy grail for anyone who wants that blurred, skin-like finish every day without running out of product in a month. Since I couldn't find this specific size at any local retailers or even on international sites that ship directly to Seoul, I decided to take the fastest path possible and shop directly from the source.

My method for buying from US stores

To get this done quickly, I used comGateway to provide me with a tax-free US address. Most people don't realize that when you shop on US sites, you often get hit with local sales tax depending on where the warehouse is. By using a freight forwarder based in a tax-free state like Oregon, I saved about 7-10% right off the bat.

The process was actually quite simple. I signed up for an account, got my US suite number, and used it as my shipping address at checkout.

It is easily the most efficient way to forward packages from brands that usually only ship within the States.

Shipping estimates for South Korea

I know many of you are worried about the cost of international shipping, so I put together some estimates based on my own order. The Fenty stick is small, which makes it a perfect candidate for cheap shipping.

• Box Weight: Approx. 0.3 kg to 0.5 kg (0.6 - 1.1 lbs) including protective packaging.
• Box Dimensions: Very small (approx. 15cm x 10cm x 5cm).
• Volumetric Warning: Since this item is dense and small, you don't need to worry about volumetric weight. It will be charged based on its actual light weight.
• Battery Check: This item contains no lithium batteries, so there are no extra handling fees or restricted shipping rules to worry about.

I always use the shipping calculator before I buy anything to make sure the total cost makes sense. For a single makeup item, the shipping to Korea is very reasonable, especially if you combine it with a few other US finds.

How I bypassed US credit card blocks

Here is where it gets tricky. I tried to buy the stick from Sephora US and a few other boutiques, but my Korean credit card was declined immediately. Many US stores block international cards or flagged my order because I was using a package forwarding address. This is a common hurdle for us in South Korea.

I solved this by using the BuyForMe service. This is basically a proxy shopping feature where the team at comGateway buys the item for me using their own US domestic payment methods. I just sent them the link to the Pro-Size stick, paid them, and they handled the purchase. This is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled by picky US retailers. It saved me so much frustration.

Import tax and arrival in Seoul

Once the item arrived at my US address, I selected ship to South Korea. One thing to remember is the import tax threshold. In 2026, the de minimis value for personal imports into South Korea from the US is generally $200 (if it's a list-clearance item). Since the Fenty stick is well under that, I didn't have to pay any additional duties at the border.

I chose DHL international shipping for the final leg because I wanted it fast. My package arrived at my door in Seoul just four days after it left the US warehouse. If you are worried about what else you can or cannot ship, definitely look at the list of prohibited items before you start your shopping spree. My experience was seamless, and I finally have the 15g stick that everyone else is still waiting for!
