Why I am so excited about the new Rhode Peptide Lip Tints in 2026
I have been obsessed with Hailey Bieber’s Rhode line since it first launched, but the 2026 drop of the new limited shades has taken things to a new level. If you are like me and live in Switzerland, you know the struggle. We see these gorgeous tints all over social media, but trying to find them in stock at a local boutique or even an EU-based shop is almost impossible. When they do appear, the stock disappears in minutes.
I realized that the only way to reliably get my hands on the full collection was to shop directly from the US store. The US site always has the best availability, and they often carry exclusive bundles that we just don't see here in Zurich or Geneva.
The price gap between the US and Switzerland is wild
One thing that really pushed me to find a better way to shop was the price difference. I did a quick comparison and was shocked at how much extra we pay when buying through local resellers or high-end boutiques here in Switzerland. Even with international shipping, I found that buying directly from the States saved me a significant amount of money.
| Item Name | US Retail Price (USD) | Swiss Reseller Price (Est. CHF) |
|---|---|---|
| Rhode Peptide Lip Tint (Single) | $16.00 | CHF 45.00 |
| The Limited Shade Bundle | $60.00 | CHF 140.00 |
As you can see, the markup is nearly 200% in some cases. By shopping like a local in the US, I was able to keep more of my hard-earned Swiss Francs while still getting the authentic product. I used a shipping calculator to make sure the math worked out, and even with the transit costs, I came out ahead.
How I use a US address to get my beauty fix
The secret I have been using for my 2026 beauty hauls is a tax-free us address. Since Rhode doesn't ship directly to Switzerland with the speed and reliability I want, I send my orders to a warehouse in Oregon first. This is a total life-saver because Oregon has 0% sales tax, which means I don't pay any extra US taxes on top of the retail price.
If you haven't done this before, I followed a simple step-by-step guide that explained how to set up my account and where to enter my new US address at checkout. It made the whole process feel very straightforward, even for my first time.
How I beat credit card declines with BuyForMe
I have to tell you about the one major hurdle I faced: payment. Some US stores, including big names like Sephora, Nike, or Apple, can be really picky about credit cards. I tried to use my Swiss card on a few US sites and my order was cancelled almost instantly because they didn't recognize my billing address or they blocked international cards entirely. It is incredibly frustrating when you are trying to grab a limited-edition drop before it sells out.
My solution was using the BuyForMe service from comGateway. Basically, I just sent them the link to the Rhode tints I wanted. They used their domestic US credit cards to buy the items for me. This is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled by a store's security filters. I didn't have to worry about my Swiss card being rejected; comGateway handled the purchase, and the items showed up at my US address a few days later. It takes all the stress out of shopping difficult US retailers.
What I learned about shipping to Switzerland
Once my lip tints arrived at my US address, I had to get them home. I always make sure to check the shipping rules before I finalize a shipment. Luckily, lip tints and most makeup items are perfectly fine to ship, but it is always good to double-check for things like perfumes or aerosols which can be restricted.
I usually wait until I have a few items in my US locker so I can consolidate them. Shipping three or four items together is way cheaper than shipping them one by one. My package usually arrives in Switzerland within 5 to 8 business days, which is pretty impressive considering it's coming from across the Atlantic.

We all know that Switzerland has its own rules when it comes to bringing things into the country. I was a bit worried about the paperwork, but it turned out to be manageable. You might also like to check our guide on import duties to see how the current 2026 thresholds work for Swiss VAT. Generally, as long as you account for the VAT on the total value, there are no nasty surprises when the mail carrier rings your doorbell. Dealing with the customs tax is just a small step in exchange for getting the beauty products that nobody else in town has yet!
