we predicted would be major in 2025<\/a> (it was). But you don\u2019t need the case to have soft, smooth and shiny lips, and this product has quickly become a mainstay to apply on the go, over lipstick or to care for lips before bed. <\/p>\n![\"\"]()
<\/p>\n
Peptide Lip Tint<\/p>\n
What it is: This lip tint boasts a similar ingredient profile to its predecessor, but this time with a hint of colour that can be built up depending on preference. It\u2019s currently available in four limited-edition, scented shades (including fan favourite ribbon), but the core collection of seven hues is equally lovely \u2013 ranging from the shimmery sheer pink of jellybean to the rich toffee brown of espresso. <\/p>\n
What you need to know: Everyone needs a solid lip tint in their makeup wardrobe, and this one is as good as they come. It\u2019s glossy but not sticky, and plays nicely when layered with other lip products without feeling tacky. I have at least five shades on my radar and plan on adding all to my cart first thing on February 13. <\/p>\n
What to skip<\/p>\n
So that\u2019s everything that\u2019s good, but what about the others that didn\u2019t make the cut? My honest thoughts, below. <\/p>\n

Peptide Eye Prep<\/p>\n
What it is: A set of six hydrogel under-eye patches emblazoned with the Rhode logo and R icon. Each set is said to depuff and brighten the under eye area and minimise fine lines, wrinkles and dark circles \u2013 including when used before makeup application. <\/p>\n
What you need to know: If you\u2019re a \u201cloud luxury\u201d type and want to buy a set of these for an Instagram-worthy snap, be my guest. But there are countless eye patches out there that don\u2019t come so heavily branded (and as such are a fraction of the cost) but work just as effectively. <\/p>\n

Pineapple Refresh PGA Cleanser<\/p>\n
What it is: A balm-to-lather daily cleanser that helps remove surface debris, makeup and SPF to leave skin feeling clean and clear. It contains surfactant ingredients gentle enough to cleanse skin thoroughly, but is said not to leave skin feeling tight or dry. <\/p>\n
What you need to know: I\u2019ve interviewed a handful of dermatologists over the years, and the resounding message is this: when it comes to skincare routines, always invest the most in products that you leave on, not wash off. The NZ RRP of this product hasn\u2019t been revealed yet, but I predict it\u2019ll be on the expensive side. There are plenty of wonderful cleansers available in NZ that you don\u2019t have to spend a pretty penny on. <\/p>\n

Peptide Lip Shape<\/p>\n
What it is: Described by the brand as a \u201ccontouring lip shaper\u201d, this lip pencil bridges the gap between a lipstick and a lip liner. It can be used along the outer border of lips, then diffused or defined in the centre using the silicone smudger on the other end. <\/p>\n
What you need to know: According to the aforementioned friend, this lip product fell short of expectation. It wasn\u2019t nearly as creamy as the description led her to believe, nor did it glide on as smoothly as she\u2019d hoped. I personally haven\u2019t tried this, and am keen to make my own judgments, but the bar for lip products is very high for me, considering I cycle daily between a lip tint, stain or lipstick. Watch this space. <\/p>\n
