The 2026 Rhode Hype
It is March 2026, and Hailey Bieber's Rhode brand is still dominating the beauty scene in Manila. The new Sunkissed 2026 Collection just dropped in the US, featuring those viral pocket blushes in limited-edition shades that give that perfect "just back from Boracay" glow. Since these shades are US-exclusive, the FOMO in the Philippines is real.
If you've been checking us trends lately, you’ll see that Rhode products are consistently at the top of the list. However, getting them here isn't always straightforward because Rhode doesn't ship directly to the Philippines yet.
US MSRP vs Local PH Reseller Markup
Let's look at the math: Rhode vs Local Resellers. In the US, a Pocket Blush from the Sunkissed 2026 collection retails for around $24 USD. At current exchange rates, that’s roughly 1,350 PHP. If you look at local resellers on Instagram or Shopee, they are often listing these same blushes for 2,800 PHP to 3,500 PHP. That is a massive markup.
Even when you factor in international shipping, buying directly from the US often saves you enough money to buy a second blush or a Peptide Lip Treatment. By using a freight forwarder like comGateway, you get a tax-free US address in Oregon, which means you don't pay US sales tax on your purchase, bringing the cost down even further.
Using a Freight Forwarder for the Sunkissed Collection
Since Rhode only ships within the US, you need a middleman. You buy from the Rhode website, ship it to your Oregon warehouse address, and then have it sent to your doorstep in Manila or Cebu. To see if the costs make sense for your specific haul, you can use a shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost before you commit.
One of the best ways to save is to wait for a few US drops and consolidate them. Shipping three blushes costs nearly the same as shipping one when you look at the base FedEx international shipping or DHL international shipping rates. This is the smartest way to buy from US ship to Philippines without overspending on logistics.
BuyForMe vs Manual Checkout
Many shoppers in the Philippines run into a major wall: Rhode and other major US retailers like Sephora or Nike often block international credit cards. Even if you have a US address, if your billing address is in the Philippines, your order might get cancelled instantly. This is where proxy shopping becomes a lifesaver.
Instead of risking a cancellation, you can use comGateway’s BuyForMe service. Here is how it works: you tell them what you want, and they buy the item on your behalf using a US domestic credit card. This is the safest way to guarantee your order goes through on high-demand launches like the Sunkissed 2026 collection. It eliminates the headache of credit card declines and ensures you actually get the product before it sells out.
Import Tax vs De Minimis Rules in the Philippines
When you ship to Philippines, you need to keep the 10,000 PHP de minimis threshold in mind. If your total shipment value (including shipping and insurance) is under 10,000 PHP, you won't have to pay any import tax. This is great news for beauty lovers because a few blushes and lip tints will easily stay under this limit.
If you are planning a massive haul that exceeds this amount, be prepared for Bureau of Customs duties. If you have questions about specific items, the FAQ section on the comGateway site has a lot of helpful info on what can and cannot be shipped to the Philippines.
The Final Verdict for Smart Shoppers
So, is it worth it? If you are just buying one single blush, the reseller price might be more convenient. But if you are eyeing the whole Sunkissed 2026 collection or shopping with a friend, importing it yourself is significantly cheaper. You get the peace of mind that the product is authentic, and you save a few thousand Pesos in the process. For more tips on Philippines delivery, stay tuned to our latest updates.
