The TikTok obsession that led me to Rhode
I’ve spent way too much time lately scrolling through Thai TikTok, and if there is one thing I’ve learned in early 2026, it’s that Hailey Bieber’s Rhode brand is still the reigning queen of viral beauty. Whether it’s the 'Toast' shade or the dreamy 'Ribbon,' these lip tints are everywhere. I noticed that while everyone in Singapore wants them, the local reseller markups are getting a bit out of hand. I decided it was time to take matters into my own hands and go straight to the source: the official US Rhode store.
We’ve all seen the pouting phone cases and the glossy finishes, but getting your hands on a fresh restock in Singapore often feels like a competitive sport. I realized that the only way to ensure I was getting the genuine product at the actual retail price was to look toward the United States.

The great shipping myth I finally debunked
I used to believe a common myth: that shipping a single, tiny lip tint from Oregon or California to Singapore would cost more than the product itself. I’m happy to report that I was wrong. By using a reliable freight forwarder, I was able to bundle my beauty hauls and save significantly. I found that when I compared the total cost of direct shipping versus the inflated prices on local marketplaces, the US route won every single time.
My secret weapon has been using a tax-free us address. This allowed me to avoid US sales tax at the checkout, which already puts a few extra dollars back into my pocket.

How I shop the US store from my Singapore couch
When I’m ready to buy, I head over to the Rhode Skin website. Sometimes, US stores can be picky about non-US credit cards. If I ever run into a snag where my payment is declined, I simply use the BuyForMe service. This assisted purchase option means someone in the US handles the transaction for me, so I never miss a restock of 'Shortcake' or 'Guava.'
Once the order is placed, it ships to my package forwarding address. From there, I get a notification and I can choose my preferred speed for international shipping. It’s a lot simpler than I originally thought, and it feels much more secure than buying from an unverified social media seller.

Shipping estimates and package specs
To help you plan your own haul, I’ve put together some estimates based on my recent Rhode deliveries. These tints are lightweight, which is great for your wallet.
| Specification | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Box Weight | Approx. 0.5 lbs (0.23 kg) for 1-3 tints in a standard mailer. |
| Box Dimensions | Small (Approx. 7" x 5" x 2"). |
| Volumetric Warning | Low. These items are dense and small, so you won't be charged extra for "empty space" unless you ship them in a massive box. |
| Battery Check | No lithium batteries. No special dangerous goods fees apply! |
I always use the shipping calculator before I hit the checkout button. It helps me decide if I should add a few more items—like the Peptide Glazing Fluid—to make the shipping cost per item even lower. Using a international shipping service that allows for package consolidation is the smartest way to shop in 2026.
Why consolidation is king
I’ve found that the best way to maximize my budget is to wait until I have two or three items at my US warehouse. Shipping one lip tint alone is okay, but shipping three lip tints together costs almost the same as shipping one. This is how I truly beat the reseller prices in Singapore.
Handling GST and Singapore customs
One thing we have to remember in Singapore is the GST/VAT. As of 2026, the GST applies to all goods imported into Singapore. When my package arrives, I usually pay the GST through the comGateway platform or directly to the courier. It is a straightforward process, but I always factor that 9% into my total budget. I’ve found that even with GST and shipping, my total cost for a Rhode Lip Tint is still about 20-30% cheaper than what I see on local platforms.
The final verdict on my savings
My journey to getting the perfect pout taught me that I shouldn't be afraid of shopping across borders. By using a parcel forwarding service, I gained access to the full Rhode collection without the "Singapore tax" imposed by resellers. If you are looking to refresh your makeup bag for 2026, I suggest you stop waiting for local stock and start your own US shopping adventure.
I’ve realized that being a savvy shopper in Singapore just takes a little bit of planning and the right shop us ship international partner. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a fresh tube of 'Toast' calling my name!
