The 2026 Glossier Expansion
On April 18, 2026, Glossier launched five new bronzing shades for their iconic Cloud Paint line. These shades are currently US-exclusives for the first 30 days of the launch. Staying on top of us trends allows you to access these products before they hit the global market. The new expansion focuses on deeper undertones and cooler contour shades that were previously missing from the permanent collection.
Price Comparison: US vs Philippines
Buying directly from the Glossier US store costs $22 (approx. ₱1,250). Local resellers in the Philippines are already listing these for ₱2,450 to ₱2,800. By using a package forwarding service, you can save ₱1,200 per tube even after factoring in shipping costs for a small haul. If you buy the full set of five shades, your savings increase to over ₱6,000 compared to local markup prices.
Avoiding Sales Tax
When you use a tax-free us address in Oregon through a freight forwarder, you remove the 7-10% US sales tax that usually applies at checkout. This ensures your base cost remains at the $22 retail price.
How to Order from the US
Glossier's website often restricts international credit cards. If you encounter issues at checkout, the BuyForMe service handles the purchase on your behalf. Simply provide the product links, and the experts will buy the US-exclusive shades for you.
Once the item reaches your US address, you can use an international shipping service to send it to your doorstep in the Philippines. For those buying multiple items, consolidate your packages to reduce the overall international shipping rates.
Shipping Estimates for Manila
Makeup is lightweight, making it an ideal candidate for international shipping. You can use the shipping calculator to get a precise quote based on your specific location in the Philippines.
| Metric | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Box Weight | Approx. 0.3 kg (0.6 lbs) for 1-2 tubes including packaging. |
| Box Dimensions | Small (Approx. 15cm x 10cm x 5cm). |
| Volumetric Warning | Low. This item is dense and small; volumetric weight will not exceed actual weight. |
| Battery Check | No lithium batteries. No special handling fees required. |
Importing to the Philippines
In the Philippines, the de minimis value is ₱10,000. If your total shipment value (including shipping and insurance) is below this amount, you will not be charged import duties or taxes by the Bureau of Customs. This is why small beauty hauls are highly cost-effective when using comGateway.
For a single tube of Cloud Paint Bronzer, your total landed cost will likely remain under ₱2,000, which is still significantly lower than the ₱2,500+ charged by local resellers who have to cover their own overhead and profit margins.
