Riley Rose, the unique and surprisingly engaging chain of beauty stores founded by the family that owns Forever 21, just launched e-commerce.

The first Riley Rose store opened near LA last October. Linda and Esther Chang, the daughters of the Forever 21 founders who are running the new endeavor, wanted a freestanding beauty store that would appeal to millennials and Gen Z. The stores are a wonderland of pink and offer a variety of K-beauty, natural skincare, sparkly makeup from both indie and established brands, an impressive assortment of haircare, and — an important point of differentiation from other beauty stores — candy, small accessories, and whimsical home goods. The whole place is happy and will make you want to 1) Instagram it and 2) buy stuff, in that order.

The description on each generally offers a few bullet points on what it’s used for and an ingredient list.
