My secret weapon for a Swiss glow-up involves a Fenty Beauty haul and a US detour

The 2026 glow-up is finally here

I have been checking my social feeds every morning since January, and the moment finally arrived. Rihanna dropped the Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop Stick (Luminous Glow Edition). This isn't just another foundation stick; the 2026 formula is a complete rethink of how we handle dewy skin. It provides that "I just drank 3 liters of water and had a facial" look in a single swipe. While the original matte stick was a staple, this Luminous Glow version is what my skin has been craving during these dry Swiss spring days.

Just a moment, securing your connection...

I noticed that the US launch included an massive range of 25 shades right out of the gate, many of which aren't expected to hit European shelves for months. If you are like me and fall between the standard "light" and "medium" categories, getting your hands on that specific undertone is only possible if you shop US store options directly.

Why we are still waiting in Switzerland

It is a common frustration for us in Switzerland. We see the big US beauty launches in April 2026, but our local boutiques and department stores often have a delayed release schedule. Even when they do arrive, the price markup in CHF can be startling. By using a freight forwarder, I’ve found that I can bypass the wait times and the "Swiss tax" entirely, even when accounting for the journey across the Atlantic.

Overcoming the credit card wall with BuyForMe

During my shopping spree, I hit a familiar snag. Many US-based beauty retailers—including the big names like Sephora and even the official Fenty site—sometimes have strict security filters. These filters often block international credit cards or automatically cancel orders heading to a warehouse. It can be incredibly annoying to see your order "cancelled" five minutes after you hit the buy button.

I solved this by using the comGateway BuyForMe service. Essentially, I tell them what I want, and they use a US domestic credit card to make the purchase on my behalf. This is the most reliable way to ensure the order goes through without a hitch. It removes the headache of wondering if my Swiss card will be accepted by a US payment gateway.

Shipping estimates for your haul

Before you commit to your glow-up, you probably want to know what the logistics look like. I used the shipping calculator to get a rough idea, and here is what I found for the Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop Stick (Luminous Glow Edition):

If you are worried about the cost of a single item, I recommend "parcel consolidation." We often buy a few items from different stores and have them packed into one box to lower the international shipping rates.

How I managed the delivery from the US

My step-by-step guide for this process is simple. First, I logged into my tax-free US address provided by comGateway. Since their warehouse is located in a tax-free state (Oregon), I didn't have to pay any US sales tax on my Fenty purchase. That is a 7% to 10% saving right there!

Once the package arrived at the warehouse, I received a notification. I checked the prohibited items list just to be safe, though makeup is generally fine as long as it isn't a pressurized aerosol. From there, I authorized the ship to Switzerland request and sat back.

Navigating Swiss customs and taxes

When the package enters Switzerland, it goes through the usual customs process. You should be aware of the import duties that apply here. In Switzerland, you will typically be charged VAT (currently 8.1% for 2026) on the total value of the goods and shipping if the amount exceeds the de minimis threshold. I always keep a little extra in my budget for the Swiss Post handling fee, which is standard for international deliveries.

Using a dedicated Switzerland delivery route through an express carrier means I usually get my package within 3 to 5 business days once it leaves the US. My skin is ready, my shade is secured, and I didn't have to wait for a local release that might never happen.
