Is shipping the Kosas 2026 Glow Set from the US cheaper than waiting for Sephora Malaysia?

Why are beauty enthusiasts in Kuala Lumpur still waiting for the new DreamBeam shades when the US market has already moved on to the 2026 Glow Set? The gap between US beauty launches and their arrival at Sephora Singapore or Malaysia has widened this year, leaving local shoppers with two choices: wait six months or find a way to ship it directly from the source.

Why the Kosas 2026 Glow Set is currently a US exclusive

The Kosas 'The 2026 Glow' set has become a viral sensation because it features the entire reformulated 'DreamBeam' tinted sunscreen range and the new limited-edition lip oils. These specific 2026 shades are designed with updated peptide technology that is currently only approved for the US market. Because of these formulation updates, Sephora Malaysia has not yet listed the product, and there is no confirmed date for a local release.

When you look at current us trends, it is clear that clean beauty brands are prioritizing domestic launches to manage inventory levels. This leaves international fans in a difficult position, as the set offers a 30% savings compared to buying the items individually—if you can get your hands on it.

The price gap between US retail and Malaysia imports

Is it actually cheaper to buy from the US and pay for international shipping? In most cases, yes. The US-exclusive set retails for approximately $75 USD (roughly RM 330). If these items were to launch individually in Malaysia, the combined cost would likely exceed RM 520, given the typical 20-30% markup applied to imported clean beauty brands. Even after adding the cost of a freight forwarder, the total expenditure remains lower than waiting for local retail prices.

To see the exact difference, you should use a shipping calculator to factor in the weight of the cosmetics. Beauty products are lightweight, meaning you can often bundle multiple items into one shipment to maximize your savings.

How to buy from US stores that block Malaysian cards

The biggest hurdle for Malaysians trying to shop at US-only retailers like Sephora US or the official Kosas website is the payment wall. Many US stores often block international credit cards or automatically decline orders sent to known shipping hubs. This is a common frustration for those trying to shop us store sites from overseas.

This is where the "BuyForMe" service becomes essential. If your order is repeatedly cancelled, comGateway offers a solution through their proxy shopping assistance. Instead of using your Malaysian card, comGateway buys the item on your behalf using a US domestic credit card. This eliminates the risk of regional blocks and ensures your order is processed just like a local US customer's would be. It is the safest way to guarantee your 2026 Glow Set doesn't get stuck in a cancellation loop.

Shipping your beauty haul to Malaysia using a freight forwarder

Once your order is secured, you need a reliable way to move it across the Pacific. Since Kosas does not ship directly to Malaysia, you must use a freight forwarder to provide a bridge. By using a tax-free us address provided by your forwarder, you also avoid paying US sales tax (which can be as high as 10% depending on the state), effectively offsetting a large portion of your package forwarding costs.

When the package arrives at the US warehouse, you can choose between different speeds, such as DHL international shipping for speed or FedEx international shipping for reliability. For cosmetics, ensure the forwarder handles liquid items appropriately to avoid leaks during transit.

Managing import tax and customs in Malaysia

Before you ship, you must understand the 2026 Malaysian customs regulations. As of this year, Malaysia applies a 10% Sales Tax on Low Value Goods (LVG) for items priced below RM 500 imported online. If your total order value, including the Kosas set and other items, exceeds RM 500, you may be subject to additional import tax and duties upon arrival.

To avoid surprises, check the FAQ section on your forwarder's site to see how they handle customs documentation. Properly declaring the value of your beauty products ensures a smooth transition through Malaysian customs without unnecessary delays. If you are unsure about specific cosmetic restrictions, the comGateway support team can provide guidance on what is allowed under current 2026 regulations.

By bypassing the wait and shopping directly from the US, you not only get the latest 2026 formulations first but also save a significant amount compared to future local retail prices. Use a package forwarding service to bridge the gap and ensure your vanity stays ahead of the curve.
