Why I had to get the Summer Fridays Iced Matcha Balm

The beauty world is currently obsessed with the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm 'Iced Matcha' (Limited Edition). Since its launch last week in May 2026, I have seen every major influencer sporting this specific pale green-to-clear tint. It is a US exclusive, which means those of us in India usually have to wait months or pay exorbitant reseller prices. I decided to take matters into my own hands and buy it directly from the source. This balm is trending because it offers that perfect 'clean girl' aesthetic with a hint of matcha green that applies clear but looks stunning in the tube.

How I shopped US stores from India

Buying directly from US retailers like Sephora or the official Summer Fridays site is the only way to guarantee you are getting the authentic limited edition product. However, most of these sites do not offer direct shipping to India. I used comGateway as my preferred freight forwarder to bridge this gap. By using their tax-free US address, I avoided US sales tax, which already saved me a few dollars before the item even left the warehouse. If you are wondering how to start, their how it works page provides a clear step-by-step guide for first-time international shoppers.

Why I used the BuyForMe service

One major hurdle I encountered is that many US beauty retailers are notorious for blocking international credit cards or canceling orders that use known forwarding addresses. To avoid the frustration of a canceled order, I opted for the comGateway BuyForMe service. We found that this is the safest way to ensure the purchase goes through because they use a US domestic card on your behalf. It eliminates the risk of your payment being declined by picky US storefronts. For a limited edition item like Iced Matcha, you do not want to risk the item selling out while you struggle with payment errors.

Shipping logistics and weight estimates

To help you plan your budget, I have put together the logistics data for this specific item. You can also use the shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost based on your specific location in India.

Since the item is very light, the international shipping rates are quite manageable, especially if you consolidate this with other beauty finds from the US.

The cost breakdown for Indian shoppers

When I calculated the final price, I had to account for more than just the sticker price of the balm. Shipping from the US involves international shipping fees and local taxes. In India, you must consider import duties and GST/VAT. I recommend checking the latest customs tax guidelines on the comGateway blog to avoid surprises. You might also like to read their guide on import tax for a deeper look at how India assesses beauty products. My total cost was still lower than what local resellers in India were charging for 'pre-orders,' and I had the peace of mind knowing my Iced Matcha balm was 100% authentic.

By using a reliable international shipping service, I managed to get this 2026 limited release delivered to my door in Mumbai within 8 business days. It is a simple process once you understand the logistics of using a proxy buyer and a forwarder.
