While the formula remains the same viral, high-pigment glow we all love, the demand for these specific shades is already causing stock issues. For those of us living in the Netherlands, the struggle is even more real because local retailers often get these collections weeks or even months after the US launch.

Dutch Boutiques vs US Sephora Stock

When comparing local availability in the Netherlands versus US Sephora, the difference is night and day. US shoppers already have 'Solace' and 'Crest' in their vanity, while Dutch shoppers are often left checking for restock notifications that never come. If you want to stay ahead of the trend, buying directly from the US is often the only way to guarantee you get these shades before they sell out globally.

By using a tax-free US address provided by comGateway, you can shop just like a US resident and get these items sent to a warehouse before they are forwarded to your door in Europe.

The Hidden Barrier: Why your Dutch card might fail

Here is where things get tricky. You might think you can just hop onto the US Sephora website, enter your Dutch credit card, and ship it to a freight forwarder. Unfortunately, many major US retailers like Sephora, Nike, and Apple have implemented strict security filters. These systems often automatically decline transactions made with international credit cards or orders that use a known shipping forwarder's address as the primary billing contact.

This "hidden barrier" is the main reason many Dutch shoppers see their orders cancelled within minutes of hitting the 'purchase' button. It is incredibly frustrating to see the 'Solace' blush in your cart only to have the transaction blocked by a regional payment filter.

BuyForMe vs DIY Purchases

When it comes to these difficult stores, the comparison of BuyForMe vs DIY purchases is clear. If you try to do it yourself (DIY), you risk a high cancellation rate and temporary holds on your funds. This is where the comGateway "BuyForMe" service becomes a lifesaver for beauty enthusiasts.

The Problem: US stores block international cards or decline orders sent to forwarders to prevent fraud or protect regional distributors.

The Solution: With the "BuyForMe" (Assisted Purchase) service, you tell comGateway exactly what you want (like the Rare Beauty 'Crest' blush). They use a domestic US credit card and a US-based billing profile to buy the item for you.

The Benefit: This is the safest way to ensure your order actually goes through. Since the store sees a local US transaction, they are far less likely to cancel the order. You won't have to worry about your Dutch bank account being flagged or your order being voided.

Getting your haul from the US to the Netherlands

Once your items arrive at your US address, you need to think about the move across the Atlantic. You can use a shipping calculator to get a clear idea of what the costs will look like before you commit. This helps you decide if you want to add more items to your shipment to make the international shipping rates more cost-effective.

For a reliable Netherlands delivery, you want to choose a provider that understands the nuances of international shipping. Using an established international shipping service ensures that your delicate liquid blushes are handled with care and reach you in perfect condition.

Import Duties and VAT in the Netherlands

When you ship to Netherlands, you need to be aware of the local customs regulations. Since the Netherlands is part of the EU, you will generally be responsible for paying VAT (BTW) on items imported from outside the Eurozone. Depending on the value of your Rare Beauty haul, you might also face import duties.

Check out our guide on import tax and customs fees to see how these are calculated. It is always better to factor these costs in early so there are no surprises when your package arrives at the border. You can find more specific details on how to buy from US ship to Netherlands to streamline this part of the process.

Prohibited Items and Cosmetics Safety

Before you fill your cart with every Summer 2026 beauty release, it is important to remember that not everything can be shipped internationally. While liquid blushes are generally safe, some beauty products like aerosol sprays or high-alcohol perfumes are often listed as prohibited items.

Always review the restricted goods list before you buy. Most makeup items like the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch line are perfectly fine for international shipping, but double-checking the shipping rules prevents your package from being held up at the warehouse. Once you are cleared, you can enjoy your new 'Solace' and 'Crest' shades knowing you beat the Dutch stock delays!
