The Rhode Fall Hype in 2026

It happened again. I was scrolling through TikTok and saw the new fall shades for the Rhode Peptide Lip Tint. Shades like 'Espresso' and 'Toast' are everywhere, but finding them in stock in the Netherlands is a nightmare. Hailey Bieber’s brand has maintained its viral status well into 2026, and the demand is still outstripping the supply in European markets. I realized that if I wanted these specific tints before they vanished, I had to look directly at the source: the official US store.

We see these us trends move fast, and often, the Dutch retailers are months behind or simply never receive the full collection. My obsession with the glazed lip look meant I couldn't wait for a local restock that might never come.

Why I skipped EU retailers for the US store

My first instinct was to check local boutiques in Amsterdam, but the prices were inflated and the 'Espresso' shade was perpetually sold out. The US store not only has better stock but also exclusive bundles that save money. However, the problem is always the same: they don't ship directly to my door here. That is where I had to get creative with a freight forwarder to bridge the gap between a US warehouse and my home.

Shipping Estimates for your Rhode Haul

Before I placed my order, I needed to know if the logistics made sense. Lip tints are small, but shipping a single item across the Atlantic can be pricey if you don't plan it right. Here is the data I used to estimate shipping cost for my package.

I always recommend checking the current international shipping rates to see if adding a few more items to your cart could lower the cost per gram. Since the box is so light, I added a few other skincare staples to make the journey worthwhile.

My secret for seamless international shipping

I’ve learned the hard way that direct shipping from some US boutiques can lead to packages getting stuck in customs for weeks. By using comGateway, I was able to use a **tax-free us address** in Oregon. This meant I didn't have to pay US sales tax on my purchase, which already saved me about 8-10% upfront. From there, they handled the **international shipping** logistics to my address in the Netherlands.

I chose a reliable carrier like **DHL international shipping** because I wanted tracking every step of the way. You can also opt for **FedEx international shipping** if you need it even faster, but for a lip tint, the standard express options are usually plenty.

The Dutch import tax trap you need to avoid

This is the part where most people lose money. In the Netherlands, any shipment from outside the EU is subject to VAT (BTW) and potentially an **import tax** if the value exceeds certain thresholds. If you don't declare the value correctly or if your **freight forwarder** doesn't provide the right paperwork, PostNL or DHL might charge you a high "handling fee" on top of the taxes.

When I set up my ship to Netherlands request, I made sure all my invoices were uploaded correctly. This transparency helps clear customs faster. Ignoring this step is the fastest way to have your viral makeup haul seized or held hostage by the tax man.

How I used proxy shopping for exclusive shades

Sometimes the Rhode website detects a non-US credit card and cancels the order. When that happened to me during the last 'Toast' restock, I turned to the BuyForMe service. This **proxy shopping** option meant the team in the US bought the items for me using a local card, ensuring my order wasn't flagged. It is a lifesaver for high-demand drops where every second counts. If you are struggling to check out, let the experts do the **buy for me** process so you don't miss out on those limited edition fall shades.
