                    BEAUTICONTROL COSMETICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     QUARTERS ENDED May 31, 1997 AND May 31, 1996


          Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

          In  the opinion  of the  Company,  the accompanying  consolidated
          financial statements  contain all adjustments, consisting of only
          normal recurring  adjustments,  necessary to  present fairly  the
          financial  position as of May 31, 1997  and November 30, 1996 and
          the results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended
          May 31, 1997 and  May 31, 1996.  The  results for the six  months
          ended May 31, 1997 are  not necessarily indicative of the results
          for the year.

          While the  Company believes  that the  disclosures presented  are
          adequate to make the information not misleading, it  is suggested
          that these financial  statements be read in conjunction  with the
          consolidated  financial  statements  and notes  included  in  the
          Company's annual report on Form  10-K for the year ended November
          30, 1996.

          Item  2. Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Results  of
          Operations and Financial Condition

          Results of Operation

          Quarters Ended May 31, 1997 and May  31, 1996. Net sales for 1997
          were $19,908,000 compared to $21,478,000 in 1996.  Second quarter
          1997 sales were up against a strong second quarter in 1996, which
          included the Company's most  successful recruiting promotion ever
          and a number  of new product introductions.   However, net income
          increased 9%  over last year  primarily due to  promotional costs
          in 1996 related to the recruiting campaign. Second quarter 1997
          included the introduction of REGENERATION GOLD, the Company's
          newest and most advanced skin  repair product. Other new product
          offerings in second quarter 1997 included Sheer Breeze skin, body
          and bath scents and Color Freeze Eye  Shadow Pencils.  Also, this
          quarter, the Company implemented nationwide new lower cost entry
          and training programs for Consultants  in  addition  to  improved
          incentive  and  payout features  for  the Company s  compensation
          program. With regards  to strategic growth plans,  second quarter
          of  1997  included  some investment  dollars  spent  on expansion
          efforts in Asian Pacific.  The last two  fiscal quarters  of 1997
          will  focus on establishing operations and product lines with the
          expectation  of opening  our first  Asia  subsidiary in  January,
          1998.

          Gross profit  margins for the  second quarter of 1997  were 73.7%
          compared to 73.3% in 1996.  1996  second quarter gross margin was
          negatively   impacted   by   increased   sales   of  low   margin
          demonstration kits during  the recruiting promotion.   1997 gross
          margin  was  influenced  by higher  product  discounts  that were
          temporarily  offered to new Consultants.  This effectively lowers
          net sales and thus, gross profit margins.

                                          7

          Selling,  general and  administrative expenses  as  a percent  of
          sales  decreased to  65.7% in  1997  from 66.3%  in 1996.  Second
          quarter 1997 costs showed a reduction  from prior year because of
          the promotion  and training costs  that were associated  with the
          1996 recruiting promotion.  A  portion of this savings was offset
          by  an  increase in  professional  fees and  other  related costs
          specifically used  for the  implementation of  REGENERATION GOLD.
          Also, commissions as a percent  of sales increased in 1997 versus
          1996.  This was  caused by an increase in sales  of product lines
          that were commissionable to Consultants in  1997 when compared to
          non-commissionable  sales  resulting  from  the  1996  recruiting
          promotion.
           

          Net income increased by 9% or to $1,061,000 in  1997  compared to
          $973,800 in  1996 primarily  due to  lower  selling, general  and
          administrative expenses mentioned above.

          Six months ended  May 31, 1997 and May  31, 1996.  Sales  for the
          first  six  months  of  1997  were  $35,960,000  as  compared  to
          $37,783,000 in 1996.  This was largely  due to the success of the
          1996 recruiting promotion and several new product introductions.

          Gross  profit margins  decreased slightly to  74.6% in  1997 from
          75.0%  in 1996.   As previously mentioned,  this was  a result of
          promotional  sales  incentives  that   were  being  offered  that
          included higher product discounts extended to Consultants.

          Selling, general and  administrative costs decreased to  66.0% of
          sales or $23,750,000 in 1997  from 68.2% of sales or $25,783,000.
          As previously mentioned, this was created by a reduction in costs
          and professional fees  incurred during 1996 that  were associated
          with  the implementation of new recruiting and training programs.


          Other  income  and expenses  decreased to  $157,000 in  1997 from
          $232,000  in 1996.   This  was  due to  reductions in  investment
          related income.

          Net   income  increased  $398,000  in  1997  to  $2,039,000  from
          $1,641,000  in  1996.  This  was generated  from  a  reduction in
          selling, general and administrative expenses mentioned above.  

          Liquidity and Capital Resources

          Working Capital  at  May  31,  1997 was  $7,617,000  compared  to
          $5,536,000 at November 30, 1996.  This change was a direct result
          of a decrease in short-term borrowings, as well as, a decrease in
          various accrued liabilities which include compensation,  property
          taxes and commissions.

          The Company  has a  $15,000,000 line of  credit available  to use
          primarily  for share  repurchase in  the event  that the  Company
          believes  its  stock is  undervalued  and for  operating  cash if
          needed for the business.  The  interest rate is based on a  LIBOR
          rate plus a spread that adjusts with the debt ratio.  The current
          expiration date is November 30, 1998; however, this revolving two
          year credit  line can  be extended annually  and balances  can be
          termed out  at any  time during the  two years  for a  three year

                                          8

          amortization.  A  commitment fee of .25% is  paid quarterly based
          on  the unused  portion  of  this line  of  credit. The  weighted
          average interest  rate for  the first six  months was  6.80%; for
          1996 the  average was 6.71%.  The outstanding balance at  May 31,
          1997 was $2,500,000 compared to $3,900,000 at November 30, 1996.

          The Board of  Directors recently approved an  increase of 755,300
          shares of its common  stock under the Company s  Stock Repurchase
          Program.  These  additional shares, together with  244,700 shares
          from  a prior  authorization, bring  the  total number  of shares
          authorized for repurchase to 1,000,000.
             
          New Accounting Standards

          In December 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
          Statement  of Financial Accounting  Standards No. 128  (SFAS 128)
          Earnings  Per Share. This statement requires companies to present
          basic earnings per share and, if applicable, diluted earnings per
          share.   This  replaces primary  and  fully diluted  earnings per
          share  that is  currently required  under  APB Opinion  15.   The
          Company will  be required to adopt  SFAS 128 on  December 1, 1998
          but at present  will continue to report earnings  per share under
          APB  15.    Currently,  the Company  has not  yet determined  the
          effect of adopting SFAS 128.
