Why I became obsessed with these US-exclusive shades
It is March 2026, and my social media feed is still dominated by one thing: the Rhode Peptide Lip Tint. I first noticed the massive surge in us trends when my friends in Thailand started posting their hauls on TikTok. The brand’s influence has reached a fever pitch, but here in Italy, getting my hands on authentic shades like 'Ribbon' or 'Toast' felt nearly impossible without paying a fortune to resellers.
I realized that the only way to ensure I was getting the real deal directly from Hailey Bieber’s brand was to shop the US store. While the brand has expanded, the US remains the primary hub for the newest releases. I decided it was time to take matters into my own hands and use a freight forwarder to bridge the gap between Los Angeles and Milan.
My strategy for shopping the US store from Italy
To shop like a local, I knew I needed a tax-free us address. This is where my experience with comGateway became a total lifesaver. By using their parcel forwarding service, I could have my lip tints sent to a warehouse in Oregon, which meant I didn't have to pay US sales tax on my purchase. It is a small detail that makes a big difference when you are building a full collection of shades.

I found that having a dedicated freight forwarder allowed me to browse the site just like a US customer would, without the frustration of seeing "does not ship to your country" at checkout.
My breakdown of the shipping logistics for beauty hauls
I am often asked how I manage the costs for such small items. Before I clicked 'buy', I used the shipping calculator to get a clear picture of my total spend. Here is the estimate I used for my Rhode haul to help you plan yours:
| Metric | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Box Weight | Approx. 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs) for a 4-pack set |
| Box Dimensions | Small (approx. 15cm x 10cm x 5cm) |
| Volumetric Weight | Low risk; these items are dense and small. |
| Battery Check | No lithium batteries (Standard shipping applies). |
One thing I always check is the list of prohibited items. While lip tints are perfectly safe, some aerosol beauty products or certain perfumes have restricted goods status. Since these are simple peptide treatments, I had no issues with shipping rules.
Why the BuyForMe service saved my order from cancellation
I ran into a bit of a snag that many international shoppers face. Some major US stores have a habit of blocking international credit cards or automatically declining orders that are addressed to a package forwarding warehouse. I had heard horror stories of Rhode orders being cancelled because the billing address didn't match a US zip code.
To avoid this, I used the BuyForMe service. This assisted purchase option meant that comGateway bought the items on my behalf using a US domestic card. It is the safest way to ensure your order actually gets processed. If you’ve ever struggled with a store like Sephora or Nike from abroad, this proxy shopping method is the secret weapon you need.

Getting my package through Italian customs safely
Once my items arrived at the warehouse, I was ready for my Italy delivery. I always choose a reliable express carrier through comGateway because I want to buy from US ship to Italy with total peace of mind. For my friends in Rome or Milan, remember that you will need to pay the standard IVA (VAT) once the package enters the country, but the savings on the product itself often make it worth it.
I actually found a way to make it even more cost-effective: Read more: Save €22 on the Rhode Spring Sorbet Lip Tint by bypassing European resale markups. By avoiding the inflated prices of local resellers, I had more room in my budget for shipping costs.
We have found that using a forward packages service is the most consistent way to keep my vanity updated with the latest 2026 releases.
