I saved money by shipping the 2026 Rhode Pocket Blush shades to Singapore using a freight forwarder

Why I am obsessed with the new 2026 Rhode Pocket Blush shades

I have been scrolling through TikTok lately and my feed is absolutely covered in the 10 new shades of the Rhode Pocket Blush. Hailey Bieber really outdid herself for the 2026 launch. From those deep berry tones to the soft, ethereal peaches, these blushes are everywhere in Bangkok right now, and I knew I had to get them to Singapore as soon as possible. The formula is still that creamy, dream-like texture we love, but the new 2026 pigments are much more inclusive and vibrant.

More about shipping to Singapore

The problem is that getting them locally is a nightmare. Every time I check the usual local marketplaces, the shades I want are either sold out or marked up to nearly double the original price. I realized that if I wanted the full inventory and the latest colors, I had to shop directly from the source in the United States.

The price gap between US retail and Singapore resellers

My first instinct was to check local resellers, but I was shocked. Some people are charging upwards of $65 SGD for a single blush! When I checked the US store, the retail price was significantly lower. Even when I factored in the cost of international shipping, it still made more sense to buy several shades at once from the US rather than paying the inflated prices here in Singapore.

By purchasing three or four shades together, the cost per item dropped significantly. I also get the peace of mind knowing the products are authentic and fresh from the 2026 batch. This is why I always prefer to shop US store options directly when a major brand like Rhode drops something viral.

How I found a reliable freight forwarder for my beauty haul

Since the official Rhode store doesn't ship directly to my doorstep in Singapore yet, I decided to use comGateway as my freight forwarder. I have used them for years because they provide a tax-free US address in Oregon. This is a huge win because it means I don't have to pay US sales tax on my order, which saves me even more money before the package even leaves the States.

I used their shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost based on the weight of a few blush units. It gave me a clear idea of what I would be paying, so there were no surprises when my bill arrived. Their international shipping service has always been reliable for my makeup hauls, and I trust them with small, fragile items like these pocket-sized blushes.

Shipping estimates for your Rhode Pocket Blush order

If you are planning to grab these new 2026 shades, here is a quick breakdown of what you can expect for shipping. These are small items, so they are perfect for consolidating with other purchases to save on international shipping rates.

I always suggest checking the latest international shipping fees to see which carrier offers the best deal for your specific package weight.

Dealing with import tax and GST in Singapore

One thing we have to keep in mind when shopping from the US is the import tax. In Singapore, GST is applied to most goods brought in from overseas. I made sure to read up on the latest GST/VAT regulations through the comGateway blog to understand how much I would owe when the package landed. You can check their guide on import duties to stay updated on the current thresholds for 2026.

Even with the added tax, I still found that my total spend was lower than what I would have paid to a local "personal shopper" or reseller. Plus, I got the exact shades I wanted, like the new 2026 "Midnight Mauve" and "Glazed Apricot."

My step-by-step guide to shopping the US Rhode store

If you have never used a proxy or a forwarder before, don't worry. I followed a simple step-by-step guide to get my blushes home. First, I signed up for an account to get my US address. Then, I went to the Rhode website, added my favorite 2026 shades to the cart, and used my new Oregon address at checkout.

Once the package arrived at the warehouse, I was notified immediately. If you are curious about the technicalities, you can see how it works on their main site. It is a very straightforward process that makes international shipping feel like local shopping.

Checking for prohibited items before shipping

Before I finalized my order, I did a quick double-check on the prohibited items list. While most makeup is perfectly fine to ship, some items with high alcohol content or pressurized cans can be restricted. Fortunately, the Rhode Pocket Blush is a solid cream product, so it doesn't fall under restricted goods.

I always recommend a quick glance at the shipping rules for your destination country just to be safe. It only takes a minute and prevents your package from being held up at the border. Now that my 2026 shades have arrived, I can safely say that the effort was worth it. My cheeks have never looked better!
