The hype around the 2026 Spring shades

I have been refreshing Hailey Bieber’s Rhode Skin page since the 2026 Spring collection was first teased on TikTok. This year, the focus is all on 'The Pocket Blush' in two new limited-edition shades: 'Lush' (a vibrant, cool-toned orchid) and 'Tropic' (a bright, sun-drenched coral). If you follow the trends, you know these are already dominating the US market.

The problem is that for the launch month of April 2026, these specific shades are US-exclusives. As someone living in Australia, I’ve learned that waiting for a local release usually means missing out entirely or paying triple on resale sites. We wanted that glazed, dewy finish now, not six months from now.

Why Australia has to wait and how we skip the line

It is the same story every time a major celebrity brand drops a viral product. The US warehouse gets the stock first, and international shipping is either non-existent or costs more than the blush itself. I found that the easiest way to get my hands on 'Lush' was to act like I lived in the States. By using a freight forwarder, I managed to bypass the shipping restrictions without having to fill out complicated customs forms myself.

I realized that I didn't need to wait for a global launch. I just needed a tax-free US address to act as my middleman. This is my go-to strategy for every Rhode drop because it’s much faster than waiting for the brand to eventually remember that Australia exists.

My effortless method to shop US stores

I am a big fan of the 'lazy method' because I hate paperwork. When I wanted to shop US store options that don't ship to Sydney, I simply signed up with comGateway. They gave me a dedicated US address in Oregon, which is a huge win because Oregon has no sales tax. This saved me about 7-10% right at the checkout.

The process was simple: I bought the Pocket Blush on the Rhode website, used my new US address at checkout, and then waited for a notification. Once it arrived at the warehouse, I used their package forwarding service to send it straight to my door. It’s essentially a proxy shopping experience where I do the clicking and they do the heavy lifting.

Shipping estimates for your makeup haul

Before you hit 'buy', you probably want to know what the damage is going to be for international shipping. Makeup is generally great for forwarding because it is light, but you have to be careful about how it is packed. Here is my estimate for a typical Rhode order based on my recent experience.

I always suggest using the shipping calculator before you commit. It helps me decide if I should buy just one blush or if I should bundle it with some Peptide Lip Treatments to make the international shipping rates more economical per item.

What about Australian import tax?

One thing we always have to consider in Australia is the import tax. Since July 2018, the GST (Goods and Services Tax) of 10% applies to low-value imported goods under $1,000 AUD. Most of the time, the freight forwarder will handle the GST collection at the point of shipping, so you don't have to worry about your package getting stuck at the border while you scramble to pay a bill.

I prefer this because it keeps everything transparent. You can check the current international shipping fees to see how they break down the costs, including any necessary taxes for Australian customs. It makes the whole 'lazy method' work because I don't have to talk to a single customs official.

Common questions I get about US forwarding

My friends always ask if it's actually cheaper than waiting. My answer is usually yes, especially if you are buying items that aren't available here yet. If you are worried about the process, the FAQ on the provider's site covers almost everything from how long they store your packages to what happens if a shipment is delayed.

We found that DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping are the most reliable options for these beauty hauls. They are fast, and the tracking is incredibly detailed, which is great for my peace of mind when I'm waiting for a limited-edition drop like 'Tropic'.

If you have been eyeing those 2026 Spring shades, don't let the 'US-only' label stop you. It’s much easier than it looks to get them delivered to your doorstep in Australia.
