My cheeky way of getting Haus Labs PhD Hybrid Lip Glaze into Italy before the 2026 Spring shades vanish

April 13, 2026

My obsession with the 2026 Spring PhD Hybrid Lip Glaze

I have been checking Lady Gaga’s updates every morning this April 2026. The Haus Labs PhD Hybrid Lip Glaze has been a staple in my makeup bag, but the new 2026 Spring Collection is on another level. The formula is famously high-performance, and these new shades are currently exclusive to US retailers like Sephora and the official Haus Labs site. For those of us living in Italy, seeing "US Only" is usually a heartbreak, but I found a way around it.

The TW beauty community has been buzzing about the "Glazed Orchid" and "Sunset Spark" shades, and I knew I couldn't wait for a European release that might never happen. My goal was to get these tubes into my hands without the usual stress of international shopping. I decided to use a freight forwarder to bridge the gap between New York and Rome.

The logistics of my Italian beauty haul

When I shop from the US, I always consider the journey my items will take. To save on costs, I make sure my packages go to a tax-free us address in Oregon. This little trick saves me the US sales tax, which I can then put toward more lip gloss. Because I am shipping to Italy, I also have to keep an eye on EU import regulations. I always consult the FAQ section on my forwarder's site to stay updated on the latest customs requirements for 2026.

My personal shipping estimates for these glazes

Before I clicked 'buy', I did a quick logistics analysis to see if the shipping would be worth it. Here is my breakdown for the Haus Labs PhD Hybrid Lip Glaze (2026 Spring Collection):

Metric Estimate
Box Weight Approx. 0.3 kg to 0.5 kg (if buying 2-3 shades)
Box Dimensions Small (Padded mailer or small 15x10x5 cm box)
Volumetric Warning Low. These items are compact. However, if I were to add a bulky item like a 2026 Spring Collection hoodie, the volumetric weight could increase the price significantly.
Battery Check None. These are cosmetics and contain no lithium batteries.

I used the shipping calculator to see how much it would cost to fly these to Italy. By knowing the international shipping rates beforehand, I avoided any surprises at the checkout.

Why my Italian credit card failed and how I fixed it

My first attempt to buy the 2026 Spring shades directly from the US Sephora site was a disaster. My Italian credit card was declined immediately. Many US stores have strict security filters that block international cards or orders destined for a package forwarding address. It is incredibly frustrating when you have the money but the store won't take it.

I didn't give up. I turned to the BuyForMe service. This was the real secret to my success. We simply tell the comGateway team what we want, and they use a US-based credit card to purchase the items for us. This "proxy shopping" method is the safest way to guarantee an order doesn't get cancelled by picky US retailers. It completely removed the barrier between my Italian bank account and my favorite US makeup brand.

The exact steps I used to forward my package

Once the BuyForMe service team secured my Haus Labs order, the package arrived at my US address. I made sure to check the list of prohibited items one last time just to be safe, even though I knew lip glaze was fine. I then selected my preferred shipping speed to Italy. Since I was in a rush to try the "Glazed Orchid" shade, I opted for an express route.

My experience proves that you don't have to wait for brands to expand globally. By using a reliable parcel forwarding service, I managed to get the 2026 Spring Collection while it was still a fresh trend in the States. If you are a makeup lover in Italy, I highly recommend this route for any US-exclusive drops.
