Save 45 Dirhams on the Haus Labs Glass Blush Stick with a US freight forwarder

The hype behind the 2026 Haus Labs formula

If you have been scrolling through social media lately, you have probably seen the viral clips of Lady Gaga's latest drop. The Haus Labs Color Fuse Glass Blush Stick launched just last week, and it is already trending across Dubai and Abu Dhabi. This 2026 iteration is a complete reimagining of the original formula, featuring a "glass-skin" finish that actually stays dewy for 12 hours without the usual stickiness.

While we have local options, the buzz is all about the US Sephora batches. Beauty enthusiasts claim the pigment concentration in the US inventory is superior, and more importantly, the full 15-shade range—including the neon "Electric Poppy"—is currently exclusive to North American storefronts. Getting your hands on one means finding a reliable way to forward packages from the States.

Why UAE shoppers are sourcing from the US

Retail markups in the UAE can be steep. By the time a new release hits local shelves, the price can be nearly 30% higher than the US MSRP. When you shop us store directly, you are looking at a base price of roughly $34 (125 AED). Local specialty importers are already listing these for 170 AED or more. By using a freight forwarder, you can bypass these markups and get the authentic 2026 formula straight from the source.

Shipping Estimates for the UAE

Before you hit the checkout button, it helps to know what the logistics look like. This is a lightweight item, which makes it perfect for international shipping.

To get a precise quote based on your specific city in the UAE, you should check the shipping calculator. If you are ordering multiple sticks or adding other Sephora finds, consolidating them into one box is the best way to save.

How to get it delivered fast

Waiting weeks for a beauty fix is not an option in 2026. The fastest route is using a package forwarding service that provides a tax-free us address in Oregon. This ensures you do not pay US sales tax on your purchase, saving you an additional 7-10% right at the start.

Here is the how it works breakdown: You sign up for a US address, use it as your shipping destination on Sephora.com, and then once it arrives at the warehouse, you select an express carrier like DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping for delivery to the UAE in 3-5 business days.

Import tax and duties for United Arab Emirates

When bringing goods into the UAE, you need to be aware of the import tax regulations. As of 2026, the de minimis threshold for customs duties remains important. Generally, for personal shipments under 1,000 AED, you may only be responsible for the 5% VAT. However, if your haul of Haus Labs sticks and other beauty products exceeds this amount, additional customs tax may apply.
