My obsession with the Rhode Skin Sorbet Set
I have been scrolling through Xiaohongshu for weeks, and every second post is someone showing off the Rhode Skin 'The Sorbet' Summer 2026 Limited Lip Set. It is that perfect, vibrant orange-pink hue that just screams summer. Since it launched earlier this month, it has been nearly impossible to find in Europe. I tried checking local boutiques here in Milan, but everything was either sold out or never arrived. The US Rhode site is the only place that seems to have consistent stock, but they don't ship directly to my door in Italy.
Why I refused to pay the Italian resale prices
I checked some of the popular resale apps and the price gap is actually wild. People are listing the set for nearly double the original US retail price. When I calculated the conversion from USD to EUR, I realized I could save about 40 Euro just by buying it directly from the US store. Even after adding the cost of a freight forwarder, it still comes out much cheaper than buying from a scalper. I wanted to make sure I wasn't getting ripped off, so I used an shipping calculator to see if the math actually worked out. It did.
My process for getting it delivered to Italy
Since I do this often for my US makeup hauls, I used my tax-free US address provided by comGateway. This is basically a warehouse in Oregon where I send all my goodies. Oregon is great because there is no US sales tax, which saves me another few dollars at the checkout. Once the lip set arrived at the warehouse, I was notified and could choose my shipping method. If you are new to this, you can always check the FAQ to see how the package consolidation works, but it’s pretty straightforward.
The reason I used the BuyForMe service
I ran into a bit of a snag at first. Some US beauty brands, including Rhode, are known for being very picky about international credit cards. My Italian card was declined twice during checkout. This is where the BuyForMe service saved my life. I basically sent them the link to the lip set, and they bought it for me using a US-issued card. It is the safest way to make sure the order doesn't get cancelled by the store’s fraud filters. I’ve found that many big stores like Sephora or Nike do the same thing, so having a proxy shopping option is essential for my 2026 shopping habits.
Estimated shipping details for my Italian friends
If you are planning to grab this set, I wanted to share my estimates so you can budget for the international shipping rates. These lip sets are quite small, so they don't cost much to move across the Atlantic.
| Feature | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Box Weight | Approx. 1.1 lbs (0.5 kg) |
| Box Dimensions | Small (Approx. 7x5x3 inches) |
| Volumetric Warning | None. This is a very dense, small package. |
| Battery Check | No batteries included. Regular shipping applies. |
Because the items are so light, I usually wait and combine them with a few other things like a new pair of sneakers or some clothes. This makes the shipping fees per item much lower.
My final verdict on the 2026 haul
I am so glad I didn't settle for the inflated local prices. Getting the Rhode Skin 'The Sorbet' set directly from the source feels like a win. It took about 8 days to reach me in Italy once it left the US warehouse, which is honestly faster than some local deliveries I've had lately. If you are eyeing this limited edition drop, don't wait for it to hit European shelves because it likely won't stay in stock. Just grab it from the US and use a parcel forwarding service to get it home. My summer look is now officially complete.
