The Rhode Fall Collection Hype in 2026

I have been scrolling through TikTok lately and my feed is nothing but Hailey Bieber’s latest fall drop. The Rhode Peptide Lip Tint shades like 'Espresso' and 'Toast' are everywhere. While the brand has expanded its reach, I’ve found that the most coveted bundles and full stock levels are still exclusive to the US storefront. In Singapore, trying to find these specific shades often feels like a losing game of whack-a-mole with 'Sold Out' buttons.

I realized quickly that if I wanted the full collection without waiting months for a local restock that might never happen, I had to look toward the source. The US store doesn't just have the stock; it has the variety that we simply don't see on our shores yet.

Why I Refuse to Pay Local Reseller Prices

The price difference is what really caught my eye. A single Peptide Lip Tint retails for about $16 USD in the States. When I checked local marketplaces and third-party sellers in Singapore, the prices were often marked up by 100% or more. We are talking $45 to $60 SGD for a single tube!

I did the math and even with international shipping rates, buying three or four tints directly from the US and using a freight forwarder actually saves me a significant amount of money. Plus, I get the peace of mind knowing the product is authentic and fresh from the warehouse.

How I Use a Freight Forwarder to Shop the US Store

To get my hands on these, I use a tax-free US address provided by comGateway. This allows me to shop the US site as if I were living in Oregon, which also means I avoid US sales tax entirely. Once my package arrives at the warehouse, I can use their international shipping service to send it straight to my doorstep in Singapore.

If you are worried about the cost of moving such small items, I recommend checking the shipping calculator. I usually wait until I have a few items—maybe some clothes from other US brands—and then combine them into one shipment to optimize the costs.

My Secret for Bypassing Cancelled Orders

One hurdle I encountered early on was that some US beauty brands are notoriously difficult with international credit cards. I have had orders cancelled because my billing address didn't match the US shipping address, or because the store flagged the warehouse address. This is where proxy shopping becomes a lifesaver.

I started using the comGateway "BuyForMe" service. Essentially, I tell them what I want, and they buy it on my behalf using a US-issued payment method. This is the safest way to ensure my order for the limited-edition fall shades doesn't get rejected at checkout. It takes the stress out of the process, especially when you are trying to grab a viral item before it sells out in minutes.

Shipping Estimates for Singapore

Since the Rhode Peptide Lip Tints are quite small, they are very affordable to ship. Here is what I estimated for my recent haul of four tints and a Peptide Glazing Fluid:

If you have questions about specific items you want to add to your box, you can always check the FAQ for more details on packaging and handling.

Managing Import Tax and GST

When shipping to Singapore in 2026, it is important to remember that import tax (specifically GST) applies to all imported goods. Currently, the GST rate is 9%. I always factor this into my budget when using international shipping. Even with the 9% GST, the total cost remains far lower than what I would pay to a local reseller who has already baked those taxes—and a heavy profit margin—into their price.

I also make sure to check the list of shipping rules before I add other items like perfumes or aerosols, as those can sometimes be restricted. For lip tints, however, it's smooth sailing through customs.

I have found that taking control of my own shopping experience not only saves me money but ensures I am never left out of the latest trends just because of where I live. If you are tired of seeing "out of stock" in Singapore, it might be time to start shopping the US stores directly.
