Because this is a 2026 limited release, supply is tight. While it is widely available at retailers like Sephora in the United States, it has not officially launched in Southeast Asian retail stores, leading to a massive surge in demand and inflated prices on local secondary markets.

Save ₱1,100 per tube compared to local resellers

Buying this balm locally can be expensive. Many resellers in the Philippines are currently listing the Golden Hour shade for ₱2,600 to ₱2,900. In contrast, the US retail price is approximately $24, which converts to about ₱1,350. Even after adding international delivery costs, you can save ₱1,100 on a single tube. If you are buying for a group of friends, the savings increase significantly as you consolidate multiple items into one box.

To get these savings, you need a tax-free US address. Using a freight forwarder allows you to shop like a US local and avoid the heavy markups found on local e-commerce apps.
