My Honest Opinions On New Rhode

Trying out Rhode’s summer range gave me a fresh perspective on their approach to minimalist yet effective beauty products. The tinted lip balm with peptides caught my attention because it offers a sheer, natural finish that's perfect for everyday wear. Although it’s not heavily pigmented, I appreciated the subtle tint that enhances the lips without feeling heavy or sticky – ideal for those who prefer a no-makeup makeup look. What stood out most was the macadamia butter lip gloss. Despite initial doubts about its scent and flavor, I found it surprisingly long-lasting and comfortable on the lips. It’s a refreshing alternative to heavily scented glosses that can be overpowering. This lip gloss reminded me how sometimes less is more, especially when lasting hydration and a natural shine are the main goals. The Highlight Milk was a mixed experience for me. On makeup-free days, it adds a delicate wash of glow and color to the skin, which is uplifting especially in the summer. However, once layered under foundation or other makeup, its luminous effect tends to diminish, showing that it might be best suited as a standalone product. This highlighted to me that multipurpose products, while convenient, sometimes perform best in specific contexts. Another product I tested was the blush shade Sip, which initially appeared flattering but wore off patchily after a few hours, even when I used reputable setting sprays. This reminded me that product longevity can vary greatly depending on individual skin type and activity level, so it’s always good to test over a work or shopping day before committing to a repurchase. Overall, Rhode’s summer collection offers a good balance of subtle enhancement and natural beauty, suited for fans of minimalistic makeup. If you’re exploring sustainable and skin-friendly makeup options, Rhode’s new launch is worth a try, especially their lip products. Just keep in mind the limitations of some products like the highlight milk and certain blush shades if you are expecting heavy coverage or long-lasting wear.
