Why the 2026 Rhode shades are everywhere
Hailey Bieber’s Rhode has maintained its grip on the beauty world well into 2026. The latest seasonal drops of the Peptide Lip Tint have caused quite a stir on social media, especially with the new limited-edition tints that offer that perfect sheer-but-buildable pigment. For those of us living in Malaysia, the frustration is real because the official website still primarily caters to the North American market. The demand for that signature glazed finish hasn't slowed down, and the newest 2026 shades are selling out within minutes of every restock.
Securing your order from the US store
Since you cannot ship directly to Kuala Lumpur or Penang from the Rhode website, the most reliable method is to use a freight forwarder. By using comGateway, you get access to a tax-free US address in Oregon. This is a huge advantage because it eliminates the US sales tax that usually gets added at checkout, saving you a few extra Ringgits before the item even leaves the States.
The how it works process is straightforward. You sign up for an account, receive your unique US address, and enter that as your shipping destination on the Rhode website. Once your package arrives at the warehouse, you can then manage your international shipping preferences to have it sent straight to your doorstep in Malaysia.
Shipping estimates for Malaysia
When planning your haul, it helps to know what the package will actually look like. Here is a breakdown of what to expect when shipping these lip tints:
| Estimated Box Weight | Approx. 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs) for a small order of 1-3 tints including protective packaging. |
| Box Dimensions | Small (Approx. 15cm x 10cm x 5cm). These are compact items. |
| Volumetric Warning | Low risk. Because lip tints are small and dense, you likely won't be charged for volumetric weight unless you are buying massive quantities of display packaging. |
| Battery Check | This item does not contain lithium batteries. There are no special hazardous material restrictions for shipping lip tints. |
You can use the shipping calculator to get a more precise estimate shipping cost based on the current 2026 fuel surcharges and courier rates.
Malaysian import duties and taxes
Importing cosmetics into Malaysia is generally smooth as long as you stay within personal use quantities. However, you should be aware of import duties and the local Sales and Service Tax (SST). Currently, in 2026, low-value goods (LVG) rules apply to items imported by air. If your total order value (including shipping) exceeds certain thresholds, you may be required to pay customs tax before the courier can deliver your package. Keep your receipts handy just in case Malaysian Customs requests verification of the value of your Rhode haul.
What to do if the US store rejects your card
Sometimes, US-based online stores are picky about accepting non-US credit cards or billing addresses. If you find your transaction constantly failing at the Rhode checkout, you can use a BuyForMe service. This proxy shopping option allows the forwarder to purchase the items on your behalf using a US-issued payment method, ensuring you don't miss out on those limited 2026 shades during a high-traffic restock. This international shipping service makes the entire process hands-free, so you just wait for the notification that your package is ready to ship to Malaysia.
