I have been waiting with baited breath on pins and needles for the NEW Rhode 2026 Spring Collection, and I bought this launch with my own money the second it dropped. If you’re new here: I’m Cate, an exclusively pro-choice beauty creator—so I only feature brands that support abortion rights. In this video I swatch everything, apply every shade on my face, and then do comparisons so you can see how the new shades stack up against the existing Rhode lineup. We’ve got two new Pocket Blush shades being added to the core collection: Teacup (a raspberry pink) and Candy Apple (a pearly warm red). The Pocket Blush formula is pigmented, more opaque than sheer, and blends like a dream—truly phenomenal. I used my Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Blush Brush, tapped off on the back of my hand first, and built both cheeks to that perfect “flush” (yes, Candy Apple fully gave that natural, believable red-blush moment). Then we get into the limited-edition Peptide Lip Tints: Pretzel (shimmery warm mauve, caramel glazed pretzel scent) and Sweet Pea (pearly warm pink). I lightly lined with my Peptide Lip Shape first, then tried both shades and compared them to Salty Tan, Ribbon, and Jelly Bean. I’m begging Rhode to make these lip tints permanent—Pretzel is going to sell out, and I’m so for real about that.
