Why I am obsessed with the 2026 Rhode Skin shades
I have been tracking the Rhode Skin releases since they first launched, but the March 2026 seasonal shades are on another level. While the brand has gained massive traction globally, specifically in places like Thailand where resellers are charging double, my focus is getting them home to the Netherlands. The 2026 collection features new pigment-rich tints that provide that signature glazed finish without the stickiness. The problem is that these specific shades are exclusive to the US website, which often makes them impossible to purchase directly if you live in Europe.
My method for buying from the US store
I found that the most reliable way to secure these tints is to use a tax-free us address. By shipping my order to a warehouse in a state like Oregon, I avoid the US sales tax entirely, which saves me a few Euros right at the start. I use comGateway to provide this address. Once the package arrives at my US suite, I can then forward it directly to my door in the Netherlands. If you have never done this before, I recommend reading this step-by-step guide on how the process works from start to finish.
Solving the international payment block with BuyForMe
I have faced many frustrations with US beauty retailers like Sephora and Rhode because they often block international credit cards or decline orders sent to a freight forwarder. It is a common hurdle for those of us living outside the States. To bypass this, I use the BuyForMe service.
With this service, I simply tell the team what I want to buy, and they purchase it using a US-based payment method. This is the safest way I have found to guarantee my order does not get cancelled by the store's automated security filters. It removes the stress of wondering if my Dutch card will be accepted on the Rhode Skin checkout page.
Shipping estimates for my Rhode haul
I want to make sure you know exactly what to expect when it comes to the logistics of your 2026 Rhode Skin order. These lip tints are small, but the shipping costs are still something I calculate before I commit. I always use the shipping calculator to get an idea of the final cost.
| Metric | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Box Weight | Approx. 0.3 kg (including protective packaging) |
| Box Dimensions | Small (Approx. 15cm x 10cm x 5cm) |
| Volumetric Warning | Low. Lip tints are dense and small, so you likely won't be charged for volumetric weight. However, if you add large items like the Rhode Bubble Bag, the volume might increase your cost. |
| Battery Check | No lithium batteries. These are liquid-based beauty products and are safe for standard air freight. |
Using a parcel forwarding service allows me to consolidate multiple lip tints into one box, which significantly lowers the price per item for shipping to the Netherlands.
Handling Netherlands import tax and VAT
I always account for the Dutch customs process. When my package enters the Netherlands, it is subject to local regulations. Since 2021, all items imported from outside the EU are subject to VAT (BTW). I make sure to set aside about 21% of the value for VAT, plus any potential handling fees from the local courier. Check our guide on import tax to see how these fees are calculated for different categories. I prefer to be prepared for the import duties so there are no surprises when the delivery driver arrives at my house.
I have found that even with the shipping and tax, getting the 2026 Rhode Skin shades directly from the US is still cheaper and faster than waiting for local resellers to stock them at a 100% markup. My advice is to act fast during the drop and use the BuyForMe service if you want to be certain you get your shades.
