Why I am obsessed with the Rhode Spring 2026 Collection
My social media feed has been nothing but those dreamy pastel swatches of the Rhode Skin 'The Peptide Lip Tint' Spring 2026 Set. Hailey Bieber has truly mastered the aesthetic for this season, but as someone living in the Netherlands, I felt that familiar sting of being left out. These shades are currently a US-exclusive launch, and Rhode still doesn't offer direct shipping to our neck of the woods. We see the same hype in places like Singapore, where the demand is sky-high but the supply is geographically locked.
I decided I wasn't going to wait for a local reseller to mark up the price by 200%. Instead, I looked into how I could shop us store directly. The Spring 2026 set features four new tints in shades that scream 'Dutch tulip season,' and I knew I had to find a way to get them to my doorstep in Amsterdam without the astronomical price tag often found on secondary markets.
Shipping Estimates Breakdown
Before I clicked 'buy,' I needed to know if the logistics made sense. I used a freight forwarder to handle the journey from the US to the Netherlands. Here is my estimate for the Rhode Skin 'The Peptide Lip Tint' Spring 2026 Set to help you plan your own haul.
| Metric | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Box Weight | Approx. 0.4 kg (0.88 lbs) |
| Box Dimensions | Small (Approx. 15cm x 10cm x 5cm) |
| Volumetric Warning | Low. This item is compact, so the actual weight will likely be used rather than volumetric weight. |
| Battery Check | No lithium batteries included. |
Because the set is so light, I found that I could actually add a few more items from other US brands to my shipment without significantly increasing the cost. I used an estimate shipping cost tool to see how much more I could fit into a single box.
The math of importing to the Netherlands
When I compared the cost of buying from a local Instagram reseller versus ordering directly from the US using comGateway, the savings were clear. Even with the international shipping fees and the Dutch BTW (VAT), I was looking at a total that was roughly 35 Euros cheaper than the reseller prices I saw in March 2026. I checked the shipping calculator to get a precise figure, and it confirmed that shipping a small beauty parcel is quite affordable if you consolidate your packages.
How I secured my set step-by-step
My journey started when I signed up for a tax-free us address. This is the secret to avoiding US sales tax, which can save you around 7-10% depending on where the store is located. Once I had my address, I headed to the Rhode website and placed my order for the Spring 2026 set.
I followed the how it works step-by-step guide on the provider's website to ensure I notified them when my package was arriving. Once my tints reached the warehouse, I chose an international shipping service that offered tracking. My experience with international shipping has taught me that having a tracking number is essential for peace of mind when your package is crossing the Atlantic.
What I learned about shipping rules
I was initially worried about liquids, but since these are lip tints (more of a gel/balm texture) and under the standard liquid limits, they passed through easily. However, it is always smart to stay updated. Check our guide on prohibited items to make sure your specific beauty products aren't on the restricted goods list for the Netherlands. Some high-alcohol content perfumes or aerosol sprays have different shipping rules that you need to be aware of.
I found that as long as I kept my total value within reasonable limits for customs, the process was seamless. If you are looking to treat yourself to the latest US beauty trends this year, using a reliable shop us ship international method is the most efficient path. My Rhode Spring 2026 set is now the highlight of my makeup bag, and I didn't have to wait months for a European release that might never happen.
