Is the Rhode Peptide Lip Tint actually worth the shipping drama for us in Malaysia?

Why I finally fell for the Rhode hype in 2026

I have been scrolling past Hailey Bieber’s Rhode Peptide Lip Tint on my feed for months now. Even in 2026, the obsession hasn't slowed down. I kept asking myself if a lip tint could really be that different from what I can find at the local drugstore here in Malaysia. After seeing yet another TikTok of that perfect glazed finish, I decided I had to try it for myself. I wanted to see if the formula lived up to the claims of being both a treatment and a high-shine tint.

More about shipping to Malaysia

We all know that Rhode is notorious for being hard to get if you live outside the US. They still haven't opened direct shipping to our part of the world, which makes the whole process feel like a mission. But as a beauty enthusiast, I feel like I have to know if it's a staple or just good marketing. Check our guide on Read more: The Rhode Lip Case is the most requested beauty accessory in Malaysia to see how the accessories are trending alongside the tints.

The struggle of getting US-exclusive beauty to Malaysia

My first attempt to shop us store sites for Rhode was a bit of a disaster. I tried to checkout using my usual Malaysian credit card, and it was a no-go. The site just wouldn't accept it. This is a common issue we face when trying to get our hands on US-exclusive releases. I realized I needed a reliable freight forwarder to bridge the gap between a US warehouse and my doorstep in Kuala Lumpur.

I decided to use comGateway 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 top of the product price and international shipping. However, even with a US address, the payment wall is a real problem.

My secret for beating the payment security wall

I found that some US stores like Nike, Sephora, or Apple often block international credit cards or decline orders sent to forwarders. Rhode is no different. This is where I encountered a major roadblock. I would fill my cart, enter my Oregon address, and then get an immediate cancellation email. It was incredibly frustrating.

The solution I found was the comGateway BuyForMe service. This is essentially an assisted purchase or proxy shopping system where they buy the item on my behalf using a US domestic card. I just sent them the link to the specific shades I wanted, and they handled the transaction. I think this is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled by picky US retailers. If you are curious about how it works, you can find more details in the help center or the FAQ section under BuyForMe service at proxy shopping.

What I actually paid to ship my Rhode haul

I didn't want to be surprised by the bill, so I used the shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost before I committed. We have to be smart about our spending, especially with the exchange rates in 2026. By consolidating a few other items I wanted from the US, I managed to make the base shipping fee much more affordable per item.

I’ve noticed that some people try to buy from resellers in Malaysia, but the markup is often double or triple the original price. I prefer knowing my product is authentic by buying directly from the source.

Checking the shipping rules for beauty products

Before I shipped my package, I made sure to check the shipping rules for 2026. Since the lip tint is a liquid-adjacent product, I was worried about it being flagged. I checked the prohibited items list to ensure I wasn't ordering any restricted goods that would get stuck at customs. It is always better to be safe than to have your package destroyed at the border. I found the list of prohibited items very clear on what beauty products are allowed.

Is it worth it or should we stick to local brands?

After using the Rhode Peptide Lip Tint for a week, I have to admit I am impressed. The texture is thick but not sticky, and the tint is surprisingly pigmented for a peptide treatment. While the process of using a freight forwarder and a BuyForMe service takes a bit more effort than a local Shopee order, the quality of the product is genuinely superior to many local alternatives I have tried. If you are a fan of that clean-girl aesthetic, I think it's worth the extra steps to get the real deal from the US.
