The space is a collaboration between Condé Nast and the Stour Group and has hosted a wide range of brands, including Murad, StriVectin, Hero Cosmetics, Sunday Riley, Patchology and BeautyCounter.

More recently, Ulta Beauty has collaborated with The Allure Store to open a pop-up, offering a monthly curated assortment of beauty products. Participating brands include the Ulta Beauty Collection, Andrew Fitzsimons, Billie Eilish Fragrance, Black Girl Sunscreen, Charli D'Amelio Fragrance, Fenty Beauty, Love Wellness, Morphe, NYX, Olaplex, r.e.m. beauty and Supergoop!. 

At the time, Gindi said, "One year after the Allure Store debut, we're thrilled to announce our first retail partnership with such a beloved leader, Ulta Beauty. We are proud to pave the path in merging beauty media and retail to disrupt traditional brick and mortar experiences. Our shared passion for meeting beauty lovers where they are and reimagining retail reinforces why this collaboration is a perfect fit."
