Let’s be honest: few celeb beauty brands have taken over our TikTok quite like Rhode. So when the news broke that Rhode is officially launching in Australia, it’s fair to say the algorithm went wild.
Founded by Hailey Bieber, it’s fair to say that the model-turned-entrepreneur frequently sets social media alight — glazed donut skin and strawberry girl makeup sound familiar?
The brand itself is all about sleek, minimalist packaging and peptide-packed ingredients, which is perfect for chasing the ultimate glow—or your Instagram grid.
