I finally found a way to snag the Rhode Spring 2026 Peptide Lip Tints in Italy using a US address

Why the Rhode Spring 2026 collection is viral
I have been keeping a close eye on Hailey Bieber’s brand since the start, and the Spring 2026 Peptide Lip Tint shades are arguably her best work yet. The buzz this year is all about the limited-edition US bundles. These specific sets include shades that haven't hit the European markets yet, and if you have seen the swatches on TikTok, you know exactly why I was desperate to get my hands on them. The formula remains that perfect, non-sticky glaze, but the 2026 seasonal pigments are just next level.
The struggle of getting US exclusives in Italy
Living in Italy, I often find myself staring at the "does not ship to your location" message or seeing that the US store has all the stock while the local retailers are sold out for months. When the Spring 2026 collection dropped, I knew I couldn't wait for a local restock. I needed a way to shop US store options directly to ensure I didn't miss out on the exclusive bundles that are only available on the Rhode US site.
How I used a US address to shop the drop
My secret weapon for this haul was signing up for a tax-free US address. By using a service that provides a suite in a tax-free state like Oregon, I avoided US sales tax entirely, which saved me enough to basically cover my first espresso of the day. I simply entered that address at the Rhode checkout, and my order was processed just like I was living in the States. If you are curious about how this works, I recommend checking out a parcel forwarding service to bridge the gap between US storefronts and your home in Italy.
My experience with package forwarding
Once my lip tints arrived at the warehouse, I had to decide on the best way to get them to my door in Milan. I used an international shipping service to handle the journey. The process was surprisingly smooth. I logged into my account, saw the photos of my package, and selected my preferred courier. I always suggest that you estimate shipping cost before you commit, just so there are no surprises when the final bill comes.
Understanding import duties and VAT in Italy
One thing I learned the hard way in the past is that you have to account for the Italian customs office. When you buy from US ship to Italy, your package will be subject to VAT (usually 22%) and potentially administrative fees. I found it really helpful to read up on import duties beforehand so I could budget accordingly. Knowing the threshold for customs fees in 2026 helped me decide to bundle a few extra Peptide Glazing Fluids to make the shipping cost more efficient.
Estimated shipping specs for your Rhode haul
If you are planning to replicate my shopping trip for the Spring 2026 collection, here is what you should expect regarding the package logistics. This will help you when you use a freight forwarder to calculate your rates.
| Metric | Details for Rhode Lip Tint Bundle |
|---|---|
| Box Weight | Approx. 0.4 kg (0.9 lbs) for a 4-pack bundle. |
| Box Dimensions | Small (Approx. 15cm x 10cm x 5cm). It is very compact. |
| Volumetric Warning | Low risk. These items are dense and small, so you won't be charged extra for "empty space" in the box. |
| Battery Check | No lithium batteries. These are topical cosmetic products. |
FAQ about shipping beauty products
I get a lot of questions about whether it is actually safe to ship liquids and creams across the ocean. In my experience, as long as you use a reputable freight forwarder, the packaging is reinforced to prevent leaks. If you have specific concerns about restricted ingredients or shipping timelines to Rome or Venice, the FAQ section on the provider's site usually covers the 2026 regulations for cosmetics. Make sure to check the Italy delivery page for any specific local holidays that might delay your package this Spring.
I hope this helps you get your 2026 Rhode glow without the stress of missing out on the US-only drops. It takes a little extra planning, but for those Spring shades, it is absolutely worth it.
