I did the math on why the US-exclusive Fenty Eaze Drop Pro-Size is actually a win for Germany

Why I am obsessed with the 15g Pro-Size Stick

I have been following the 'no-makeup' makeup trend for years, and in 2026, nothing beats the Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop Stick. However, if you live in Berlin or Munich like I do, you probably noticed that our local shops only carry the standard 9g version. My search for more value led me to the US-exclusive Pro-Size, which packs a massive 15g of product into the same portable format.

I realized that while we are stuck with smaller sticks at Harvey Nichols or Boots, the US Sephora stores are stocked with this 'Pro-Size' version. It is perfect for those of us who use it daily and do not want to keep repurchasing every few weeks. I wanted to see if I could get my hands on it without spending a fortune on shipping.

The math: Why buying from the US makes sense

I sat down to do some calculations. In Germany, a standard 9g stick usually retails for around €36. That is roughly €4 per gram. The US Pro-Size (15g) is priced at $45, which is about €41 at current rates. That brings the cost down to roughly €2.73 per gram. Even when I factored in the cost to ship to Germany, the bulk savings were obvious.

To get a better idea of the total spend, I used a shipping calculator to see what the weight of a few sticks would cost. I found that by bundling my makeup haul, the price per item dropped significantly. My advice is to always estimate shipping cost before you checkout so you know exactly what your 'smart shopper' win looks like.

The hurdle: When US stores reject your card

I ran into a bit of a snag when I first tried to buy from Sephora US. Some major US retailers, including Sephora, Apple, and Nike, are notorious for blocking international credit cards or flagging orders that use a freight forwarder address. I tried using my German card, and my order was cancelled within minutes. It was incredibly frustrating.

This is where I discovered the "BuyForMe" service. Instead of me struggling with the checkout, I asked comGateway to handle the purchase for me. We simply tell them what we want, and they use a US domestic credit card to buy the items. I found this to be the safest way to guarantee that my order doesn't get cancelled by picky US payment systems. It removed all the stress of my card being declined because of my German billing address.

How I used a tax-free US address for my order

The process was much simpler than I expected. I followed a step-by-step guide on their site which explained how to use their Oregon-based warehouse. Because Oregon has no sales tax, I saved an extra 6-10% right at the start. I just had the items sent to my tax-free us address, and they notified me the moment my Fenty package arrived.

If you are worried about the process, check out the how it works page. It really helped me understand how my package moves from the US warehouse to my front door in Germany. If you have specific questions about package sizes or storage, the FAQ section covers almost everything.

Handling import tax and Germany delivery

I always make sure to check the shipping rules before I order liquids or cosmetics. Some items are considered restricted goods, but luckily, solid stick foundations like the Eaze Drop are perfectly fine for international transit. You might also like to check our guide on prohibited items if you plan on adding perfumes or aerosols to your cart, as those have stricter rules.

When the package arrives in Germany, you will need to account for import tax. Since the UK left the EU, I have found that importing from the US is often just as straightforward as ordering from London. I usually keep an eye on the customs tax rates to ensure I am staying within my budget. For a detailed look at how these fees are calculated, you can visit the support center. My experience with buy from US ship to Germany has been smooth, provided I keep these tax rules in mind.
