"The closest e.l.f. has come to a Rhode dupe. The shine, the slip, and the sheer wash of color all match remarkably well. If you wanted Rhode but didn't want to spend $18, this is the one."

My verdict

The e.l.f. Hydrating Core Lip Shine is a solid affordable alternative to the Rhode Peptide Lip Tint. Rhode's formula genuinely feels more luxurious—the peptide complex creates a plumping, nourishing sensation, and the color payoff is more refined with a sophisticated tinted-balm finish. e.l.f. delivers similar sheer color and hydration at a fraction of the cost, though the texture is slightly less cushiony and the color range is not as curated. For an everyday tinted lip product, e.l.f. does the job. For the full Rhode experience—the packaging, the peptide complex, the "clean girl" factor—the original earns its price.
