Why I'm ordering my Drunk Elephant B-Goldi Jumbo from the US to France this year

The Glow Gap: Why I’m Obsessed with the B-Goldi Jumbo

I have been waiting for the Spring 2026 drops since January, and Drunk Elephant finally released something that made my jaw drop. The B-Goldi Bright Drops now come in a massive 60ml Jumbo size. If you follow my skincare routine, you know I use these drops daily for that champagne-gold glow that makes me look like I actually slept eight hours. While the standard 30ml size is available in France and even New Zealand, this new Jumbo size is a US exclusive for now. I noticed that the value per ml is about 30% better in the US than what my friends in NZ are paying for the smaller bottles, and significantly cheaper than the retail prices we see here in Paris.

Comparing the Costs: US Value vs. Europe

When I looked at my local Sephora, the price for a small bottle was already steep. By opting to shop us store sites, I realized I could get double the product for nowhere near double the price. My experience with these US-only releases is that they rarely make it across the Atlantic in the same size or at the same price point. To make sure I wasn't just imagining the savings, I used an estimate shipping cost tool to see if the international transit would eat up all my discounts. Surprisingly, even with shipping, the cost per ml remained much lower than buying locally.

Shipping Estimates and Logistics for France

Before I clicked 'buy,' I did some research on the logistics. Since I'm shipping this from the US to France, I needed to know the package specs. Here is what I found for the Drunk Elephant B-Goldi Bright Drops (Jumbo 60ml Size):

I always check international shipping rates before finalizing a haul because skincare bottles are usually heavy for their size, but this jumbo bottle is actually quite light. Since it doesn't contain lithium batteries, we don't have to worry about the extra hazardous material fees that come with shipping some tech gadgets.

Pro-Tip: Consolidating My Orders

Because the bottle is small, I decided to add a few more US-exclusive items to my cart. Using a freight forwarder allows me to combine multiple packages into one box, which significantly lowers the price per item for the trip to France.

How I Used a Tax-Free US Address to Order

My secret to making this work was using comGateway. They provided me with a tax-free us address in Oregon. This is a big deal because US sales tax can add another 7-10% to the price at checkout if you ship to a state like California or New York. By shipping to Oregon first, I saved that extra money, which I then put toward my international shipping service fees. I simply entered the Oregon address at the checkout of the US beauty retailer, and a few days later, I got a notification that my B-Goldi drops had arrived at the warehouse.

Handling Import Duties and VAT in France

One thing we have to talk about is the French customs process. Since the UK left the EU and trade rules have tightened, I’ve become very careful about **import duties** and VAT. In France, we usually have to pay TVA (20%) on imports from outside the EU. I always check the latest guides on customs tax to see if there have been any 2026 updates to the thresholds. My advice is to keep your receipts handy because the carrier will likely ask for the TVA payment before they deliver the package to your door in Paris or Lyon. Even with the 20% tax, the 60ml Jumbo size is still a better deal than anything I can find here.

My Final Thoughts on This 2026 Skincare Haul

I'm really happy I decided to go through the effort of using a package forwarding service. The Drunk Elephant B-Goldi drops are a staple for me, and having 60ml instead of 30ml means I won't be running out halfway through the summer. If you are looking to get your hands on US exclusives that haven't hit the European market yet, I highly recommend looking into how to shop us ship international. It sounds like a lot of steps, but once you have your US address, it's as easy as shopping at any other online store. My skin (and my wallet) are definitely thanking me for this 2026 upgrade.
