(NEW YORK) –Attention, beauty enthusiasts! Ulta Beauty and Target have joined forces and this is not a drill.

The new Ulta Beauty shop-in-shop concept has officially started to roll out at over 50 locations.

Intrigued shoppers can also get a look at the full product assortment of offerings on Target’s website, which features over 50 prestige brands.

Standout brands include Clinique skin care, Urban Decay makeup, Tracee Ellis Ross’ Pattern hair care brand and many more.

Following the initial openings, this shop-in-a-shop format is slated to open in hundreds of other locations as well as online for years to come.

The Ulta Beauty specialty shops are located near existing Target beauty sections and feature specialized displays, season-specific buys and discovery zones for on-trend products.

There will also be trained staff available to help those looking for expert recommendations.
