My obsession with the 2026 Rhode Glazed Collection

I have been glued to my Xiaohongshu feed lately, and it seems like everyone is flaunting the new Rhode Peptide Lip Tint 2026 Glazed Collection. Hailey Bieber has done it again, and these new US-exclusive shades are absolutely stunning. However, as someone living in France, I realized very quickly that getting these tints isn't as simple as clicking 'buy'. The demand is so high that they are permanently sold out in any local European channels, leaving us to look across the Atlantic.

The danger of ignoring French import rules

I want to be real with you: I almost made a huge mistake that could have resulted in my package being seized or destroyed. When I first thought about ordering, I considered asking a random contact online to just 'toss it in an envelope'. Do not do this. French customs (La Poste and Douane) are incredibly strict in 2026 about cosmetics. If your package doesn't have the right paperwork or if you use an unverified carrier, you risk losing your money and your lip tints. I learned that using a professional package forwarding service is the only way to ensure the package is declared correctly so it actually reaches my front door in Paris.

How I shop US stores from France

Since the Rhode website often restricts direct shipping to Europe for these limited drops, I had to find a workaround. I set up a tax-free US address through comGateway. This allowed me to shop US store locations just like a local. By shipping my order to their warehouse in Oregon first, I avoided US sales tax entirely, which saved me enough to cover part of the delivery fee to France.

Shipping Estimates for your Rhode Haul

Before you hit checkout, you need to know what you are getting into regarding logistics. I used the shipping calculator to get a baseline for my costs. Here is what we are looking at for a typical Rhode order:

I always suggest checking the latest shipping rules before ordering, as regulations on liquid-based cosmetics can sometimes change.

When your French credit card fails

One hurdle I faced was the Rhode checkout page rejecting my French credit card. It’s a common issue for us in Europe when shopping on US-exclusive sites. I didn't panic; instead, I used the BuyForMe service. This proxy shopping option meant the team at comGateway bought the lip tints for me using a US-based payment method. It saved me from the frustration of seeing 'Transaction Declined' while the 2026 Glazed Collection sold out in real-time.

Handling import tax in France

We cannot talk about international shipping to France without mentioning the import tax. Since 2021, all items entering the EU are subject to VAT (TVA). When my package arrived, I was prepared to pay the 20% TVA plus any administrative fees from the carrier. I found that choosing DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping through my forwarder gave me the most transparency. They often allow you to pre-pay these fees, so the delivery driver doesn't demand cash at your door. If you have more questions about how this works, the support team is usually very responsive.

By being careful with my documentation and using a reliable freight forwarder, I managed to get my 2026 Glazed Collection safely. It cost a bit more than a domestic purchase, but seeing those viral shades in my vanity was worth every Euro.
