Are those US-exclusive Rhode Peptide Lip Tint shades really worth the transatlantic trip to my UK vanity?

Why I am obsessing over the new Rhode shades in 2026

I have spent a significant portion of my February scrolling through TikTok, and it seems my entire feed is filled with Hailey Bieber’s latest Rhode Peptide Lip Tint drops. The buzz hasn't faded one bit in 2026; if anything, the brand has only become more exclusive. I find myself constantly eyeing those specific US-only bundles and shades that never seem to make it across the pond to our local retailers in London.

More about shipping to United Kingdom

The formula is what keeps me hooked. It’s that perfect balance of a treatment and a tint, providing that pillowy softness my lips crave during the chilly UK mornings. But let’s be honest, the real reason I wanted these new shades was the sheer aesthetic of having something my friends couldn't just pick up at the local chemist.

The struggle of getting Rhode in the United Kingdom

I quickly realized that trying to find these new shades locally was a bit of a nightmare. Many resellers in the UK are either out of stock or charging double the price for the privilege of immediate shipping. I decided that I would rather buy directly from the source to ensure I was getting the genuine product. However, shopping directly from US storefronts can be tricky when you live in the United Kingdom.

I needed a way to bridge the gap between a US-only checkout and my front door. That is when I looked into using a freight forwarder to handle the heavy lifting for me. By using a tax-free us address, I could access the same deals and bundles available to shoppers in New York or LA.

My strategy to shop US stores from home

If you are wondering how it works, the process is actually quite straightforward. I signed up for an account to get my own US shipping address. When I was ready to checkout on the Rhode website, I simply entered that address instead of my UK one. This allowed me to take advantage of US-specific promotions that are often restricted to domestic customers.

Once my package arrived at the warehouse, I was able to use an international shipping service to bring it home. It felt like I had a personal shopper in the States. If you ever feel stuck during the process, I found that checking the FAQ on their site cleared up most of my questions about customs and consolidation.

Why the BuyForMe service saved my order from cancellation

I have to share a little secret that saved my sanity. Some US stores, particularly high-demand beauty brands and places like Sephora or Nike, have a tendency to block international credit cards. I have had my fair share of orders cancelled because my billing address didn't match the US shipping address. It is incredibly frustrating to see that "Transaction Declined" email after you’ve spent an hour picking out the perfect shades.

This is where I used the comGateway "BuyForMe" service. Instead of me trying to force my UK card through their system, I let the experts handle it. They use a US domestic card to purchase the items on my behalf. It is the most reliable way I’ve found to guarantee my order doesn't get flagged or cancelled. I simply tell them what I want, and they make it happen. It’s a small price to pay for the peace of mind that my Rhode haul is actually on its way.

Shipping estimates for your beauty haul

I know we all worry about the cost of bringing things over from the US. To help you plan your budget, I put together some estimates based on my recent experience with these lip tints. You can also use the shipping calculator to get a more precise figure for your specific order.

My final verdict on the Rhode haul

I can safely say that the effort was worth it. Those new tints are sitting proudly on my vanity, and the formula is just as dreamy as I hoped. While it might seem like a lot of steps, using a proper forwarding service made the whole experience feel like I was just shopping at a local online store. If you are tired of missing out on the best beauty drops because of your geography, I highly recommend taking the leap and shopping the US stores directly. My lips have never looked better, and I didn't have to wait months for a UK release that might never happen.
