Why the Iced Matcha Lip Butter Balm is taking over 2026

If you have been on beauty TikTok lately, you have definitely seen the 2026 limited edition Summer Fridays 'Iced Matcha' Lip Butter Balm. It is the follow-up to their previous viral hits, but this one has hit a different level of hype. The aesthetic sage-green packaging and the creamy, soft-vanilla-meets-green-tea scent are everywhere.

While the balm is a staple in the US, getting your hands on this specific flavor in Malaysia is a challenge. Local resellers are marking up the price significantly, and since it is a US-exclusive release for the 2026 summer season, it is not sitting on shelves in Kuala Lumpur. To get the best deal, many of us are looking at us trends to see what else we can bundle to make the shipping worth it.

The Math: Saving RM48 by shopping US stores

Let's look at the actual numbers. In the US, the Lip Butter Balm retails for $24 USD. Depending on the exchange rate in mid-2026, that is roughly RM106. In contrast, Malaysian resellers on social media platforms are listing this limited edition tube for anywhere between RM155 and RM170.

Summer Fridays Iced Matcha RM106 RM154 RM48

By using a freight forwarder, you can pay the domestic US price. Even when you add the cost of shipping, the savings are clear—especially if you are buying more than one tube or shopping for other brands that are cheaper in the States. You can use a shipping calculator to see how adding a few more items barely increases your total shipping cost, making the per-item saving even higher.

How to buy Summer Fridays from the USA

Shopping directly from the Summer Fridays website or Sephora US is the best way to ensure you are getting an authentic product. To do this from Malaysia, you need a tax-free us address. This allows you to checkout on US websites as if you were living there.

Once your package arrives at the warehouse, you can then forward packages to your doorstep in Malaysia. This international shipping service is often faster and more reliable than waiting for a personal shopper to find stock and mail it manually.

The BuyForMe solution for blocked credit cards

Here is the tricky part: many US retailers, including Sephora and some high-end beauty brands, are known for being difficult with international shoppers. They often block international credit cards or automatically decline orders that are sent to known warehouse addresses. This is a common frustration for anyone trying to buy from US ship to Malaysia.

If your order keeps getting cancelled, comGateway’s BuyForMe service is the perfect workaround. Instead of you struggling with a declined card, we buy the item on your behalf using a US domestic credit card.

Benefits of using the BuyForMe (proxy shopping) service:

  • No more cancellations: We use US-based payment methods that stores trust.
  • Guaranteed stock: Since the order goes through as a domestic purchase, you have a much better chance of grabbing limited editions before they sell out.
  • Convenience: You just tell us what you want, and we handle the entire checkout process.

Managing international shipping and import tax

When you are ready for your Malaysia delivery, you have choices regarding how your package travels. For high-value beauty items, many prefer DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping because they provide detailed tracking and fast transit times.

Keep in mind the import tax regulations in Malaysia. Currently, for small beauty purchases, you often fall under the de minimis threshold, but it is always smart to check the latest 2026 customs guidelines if you are placing a large bulk order. Using a reputable parcel forwarding service ensures that all your paperwork is handled correctly, so your Iced Matcha balm doesn't get stuck in customs.

By being a smart shopper and using a freight forwarder, you can enjoy the latest global beauty trends without the massive local markup.
