Summer ’26 Collection 🤎 If you saw my Rhode blush post, you know this is a launch I wasn’t going to miss!
The bronzer feels like the same formula as the blushes, though I was a little surprised at Pebble’s depth given that it’s the first shade out of 8. It’s quite pigmented but very blendable. While this is absolutely a rosier bronzer, it is very much still a bronzer – don’t go in thinking it will double as a blush!
As the Glazing Milk was the first product that I tried and loved from Rhode, I was very keen to try the Highlight Milk as well. It is not exactly the same formula as the Highlight Milk dries down more, which I think is most visible in the comparison photo. You can see the dry down on the Highlight shades while the Glazing Milk still has that supple, skincare reflection that floats a bit more over the skin.
As for shades, Pearly Pink has that iridescent pink flip (which is actually the reason I was drawn to it least), but it’s extremely subtle once on the face, though you can of course build it. Pearly Champagne is 100% my favorite – the pearl is a little more prominent but still not really visible once applied, instead giving a very healthy looking glow. Lastly, Pearly Bronze is such a beautiful neutral shade.
The Peptide Lip Shape is the type of product that is for you if it’s for you but that I would otherwise skip. Personally, I’ve loved the K Beauty versions of the blurred lip liner for years at this point and picked these up primarily for the shades.
Lastly, but of course not least, the Peptide Lip Tints. These were a non-negotiable for me, again because of the shades. This formula is not thick enough to layer but not thin enough to slip and slide, so those qualities combined with the thin applicator make them perfect for fuss-free, mirror-free application. These are also scented with a slightly sweet taste. I expected Macadamia Butter to be my fav, but Honey Mango is surprise standout with its lovely rosiness.
Shipping was a bit of a mess with this launch, but I’m glad to have snagged them from the site since some products/shades remained exclusive. Let me know if you picked up anything!
