As celebrity beauty brands go, Rhode is up there with the best of the best. The Rhode lip balm (a.k.a the peptide lip tint so good it won a Vogue Beauty award) and its deftly designed phone case have quickly become viral phenomena that sell out quicker than you can add them to cart. It would be easy to put the brand’s astronomical ascent down to Hailey Bieber’s star power alone, but once you try the best Rhode products, you’ll understand why they deserve all the hype they get.
If you’re yet to try any of the bestsellers from Rhode, we come bearing good news. Just in time for you to enjoy an It-girl summer, Rhode has restocked all of its essentials. You’d be forgiven for not knowing where to start with its growing roster of smash-hit skincare, nourishing lip balms, and new blushes. But you’re in luck. Here, Vogue editors give you the lowdown on the Rhode products worth getting your hands on before the inevitable out-of-stock banner appears. See below.

The Rhode Glazing Milk
Countless times we've seen Hailey Bieber coat her complexion in the ceramide-rich glazing milk, but could the skin prep essential work the same wonders on problematic parched skin? As far as our editors are concerned, yes. The milky texture is a lightweight, hydrating step post-cleansing that supports the skin barrier without overloading. The vitamin E and glycerin-enriched formula feels calming too, and sits under makeup without balling or pilling.
The Rhode Glazing Mist
Known for crafting a cult product or two, Rhode left us wondering what they would cook up next. Then, the glazing mist arrived, complete with a chunky stick-on mirror case and infused with ingredients that nourish, purify and lift the skin. Consider us sold. I like to spritz the mist over my face and décolletage in place of a heavy duty setting mist. This works wonders when the only make-up I want to wear consists of blush and skin tint. What’s more, the results are long-lasting so a little really does go a long way.
The Rhode Lip Tints
The Rhode lip treatments were the most coveted drop during the brand’s debut, and with good reason. Hydrating and reparative, each is formulated with peptides that smooth lip lines and pamper your pout with a non-sticky, glossy finish. Constantly selling out, the lip tints improved on the OG formula by including a wash of colour for healthy-looking lips. Don’t be deceived by the opaque, colour-blocked packaging – each tint nourishes dry lips with a sheer layer of colour and skincare, for a look as natural or amped-up as you prefer.
The Rhode Peptide Glazing Fluid
The standout product from Rhode’s skincare offering is undoubtedly the Peptide Glazing Fluid. “Like Hailey Bieber’s signature glass skin in a bottle, this quick-absorbing serum instantly glazes even the dullest of skin types with a reflective sheen,” says Tracy Achonwa, beauty and wellness shopping writer. “In addition to its immediate skin beautifying effects, it’s full of skincare heroes including peptides, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, which work to minimise pores and hydrate the skin for a smoother, more radiant complexion over time. Best of all, it doesn’t break out my acne-prone skin, which makes it a winner in my book.”
The Rhode Pocket Blush
Incredibly pigmented, dewy and flattering on all skin tones, Rhode’s new pocket blush has been flying off the virtual shelves since its launch earlier this summer. As seen on the Vogue beauty team, the shapeshifting shades can be sheered out for a hint of colour, or layered on for a high-impact sunkissed flush.
Including a lip tint in limited edition shades and a matching blush, the Summer Duo sets are a great first buy for the uninitiated. They’re beginner-friendly, as the blushes are super blendable and easy to use – you need only swipe and tap to let the warmth of your fingers do all the hard work. Not sure on the best pocket blush shade for you? Let the Vogue editors guide you with their swatches below.
“Whether applied with the fingers, a beauty blender or a make-up brush, the Rhode Pocket Blush melts into the skin for the most effortless blend. Every single shade packs enough colour payoff to flatter darker skin tones, and it contains skin-nourishing ingredients that give your complexion a glassy, but not shimmery glow. I like the cool-toned pink hue of Sleepy Girl for contouring my cheekbones, and then a mixture of bright coral Spicy Marg, and hot pink Juice Box for a sunset blush effect. I recommend using a dense, tapered brush (like Danessa Myricks x MyKitco’s MY1) if you want a more intense flush.” – Tracy Achonwa, beauty and wellness shopping writer.
The cult Rhode phone case
A stroke of genius best describes Rhode’s cult phone case, which conveniently keeps all your essentials in one place. Saving you from digging through the depths of your handbag for your favourite balm, its lightweight construction is ideal for a summer of lip balm top-ups and holiday selfies alike. The most lusted-over accessory in Rhode’s inventory, it’s no surprise that the new limited edition colourways are already selling out. Run, don’t walk.
