Why I am sourcing my Rhode Guava Peptide Lip Tint directly from the US to Paris

The 2026 Rhode Guava hype in France

I have been watching my TikTok feed explode with the new Rhode Peptide Lip Tint in 'Guava'. This 2026 seasonal release from Hailey Bieber’s brand has become the most sought-after beauty item of the year. While my friends in Singapore are seeing it trend locally, here in France, we are often left waiting months for official restocks or paying exorbitant prices on secondary markets.

I noticed that the Guava shade is currently a US-exclusive release. In my experience, these seasonal shades sell out within minutes of a restock. Because I didn't want to miss out, I decided to look into how I could get it delivered to my doorstep in Paris directly from the Rhode US website. I keep track of us trends to ensure I’m not missing these limited drops.

My strategy for shopping US stores from Europe

I used to feel frustrated when a US brand wouldn't ship to France, or if they did, the shipping fees were higher than the product itself. My approach has changed recently. Instead of waiting for a miracle, I now use a freight forwarder to handle my US purchases. This gives me the flexibility to shop like a local American consumer.

When I want to shop us store sites that don't offer international shipping, I simply use the address provided by my forwarding service. It allows me to participate in US-only sales and snag exclusive shades like Guava the moment they go live on the Rhode website.

Setting up my tax-free US address

I found that using comGateway is the most efficient way to manage this. They provide me with a tax-free us address in Oregon. This is a huge win for my wallet because it means I don't pay any US sales tax on my Rhode order. I only pay for the product and the subsequent journey to France. I also make sure to check their list of prohibited items before I buy anything else, though lip tints are perfectly safe to ship.

Shipping estimates for the Guava Lip Tint

I know many of you are worried about the cost of shipping a small item. To help you plan, I’ve put together a quick estimate of what you can expect when sending this specific product to France. I always use the shipping calculator to get a clear picture before I finalize my cart.

Because the item is so light, I often wait and consolidate it with a few other beauty finds to get better international shipping rates. You might also like to check our guide on how to forward packages efficiently to save on base costs.

Understanding import tax and French VAT

I have to be mindful of the French customs regulations. When I import goods into France, I am responsible for the VAT (TVA), which is usually 20%. I find it helpful to read up on import duties so I am not surprised by a bill when the package arrives in the EU. Generally, for a single lip tint, the customs tax is manageable, but I always factor it into my "Smart Shopper" math.

The math: Why I save money by importing

I did some digging on what resellers in France are charging for the 2026 Guava shade. On average, they are asking for 65 EUR to 80 EUR. Let’s look at my actual costs:

• Rhode Peptide Lip Tint: $16 USD (~15 EUR)
• US Sales Tax: $0 (Thanks to my Oregon address)
• Estimated Shipping to France: $22 USD (~20 EUR)
• Estimated French VAT: ~7 EUR
• Total: ~42 EUR

By taking the initiative to parcel forwarding service my own order, I am saving nearly 30 EUR compared to buying from a local reseller. Plus, I have the peace of mind knowing the product is authentic and fresh from the warehouse. We always feel better about a purchase when the math actually makes sense. I suggest you look at the international shipping options to see which speed fits your budget best.

I am eagerly awaiting my Guava tint. If you are looking to stay ahead of the beauty curve in 2026, I highly recommend setting up your own freight forwarder account today.
