My experience getting the Rhode Pocket Blush Candy Apple to the Netherlands without the insane price hikes

Why Candy Apple is everywhere on my feed

I woke up on March 10, 2026, to a sea of bright red cheeks on my TikTok 'For You' page. It seems like everyone is obsessed with the Rhode Pocket Blush in Candy Apple, which Hailey Bieber just released yesterday. It is her first true red blush, and the 'sun-flushed' look it creates is exactly what I want for the upcoming spring season here in the Netherlands. The problem I faced immediately was that Rhode still treats this as a US-exclusive launch for the initial drop, leaving those of us in Europe wondering how to get our hands on it without waiting months.

The cost gap between the US and the Netherlands

I started looking at local resellers and third-party beauty boutiques in Amsterdam, and the prices they are asking for are astronomical. Some are charging nearly double the US retail price just because it is a viral item. I realized that if I wanted to save my budget, I had to find a way to shop like a local in the States. By using a tax-free us address, I could avoid the state sales tax that usually applies to US domestic orders. I found that even with the cost of international shipping, my total was significantly lower than what I would pay to a local reseller who has already added their own massive profit margin.

My shipping and logistics breakdown

When I was planning my order, I needed to know if the shipping costs would make sense for a single blush or if I should bundle it with other items. I used a shipping calculator to get a clear picture of the costs. Here is the estimate I put together for the Rhode Pocket Blush (Candy Apple):

I checked the international shipping rates and decided that adding a few more Rhode lip tints would make the shipment even more cost-effective. Since the weight is so low, you have plenty of room to add more items before the shipping price jumps to the next tier.

How I ordered directly from the US store

Since the Rhode website does not ship directly to my house in the Netherlands for these exclusive drops, I used comGateway to bridge the gap. They provided me with a US shipping address that I entered at checkout. It felt just like I was shopping while on vacation in America. Once the package arrived at their warehouse, I used their package forwarding service to send it straight to my door. It is a much more reliable way to shop us ship international than hoping a random seller on a marketplace is sending the authentic product.

Understanding Netherlands import rules for 2026

One thing I always keep in mind when I shop us store sites is the Dutch customs process. For 2026, the Netherlands continues to apply BTW (VAT) to all packages coming from outside the EU. When my blush arrives, I expect to pay the 21% BTW based on the value of the goods. Even with this tax and the international shipping service fee, I am still coming out ahead compared to the inflated prices I see on the local 'grey market.' My freight forwarder makes the documentation easy, so I don't have to worry about my package getting stuck in customs because of missing paperwork. If you are looking to get that Candy Apple glow this week, this is definitely the most logical path I have found.
