 ITEM 2.      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
              OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31,
 1999

 Net sales.  Net sales  for the  third  quarter were  $14.7 million  in  2000
 compared to $16.4  million.   The majority  of this  decrease was  due to  a
 decline in sales for the Asia  Pacific and Eventus segments.  North  America
 reported a slight decrease in quarter over quarter sales.

 Gross profit. Gross profit margins for the third quarter of 2000 were  77.0%
 compared with 75.7% for the third quarter  of 1999.  The increase in  profit
 margins is the  result of a  continuing shift in  product mix toward  higher
 margin glamour and  skin care products  boosted by the  introduction of  new
 products in August of 2000.

 Selling,  general  and   administrative  expenses.   Selling,  general   and
 administrative expenses as  a percent of  sales decreased to  76.5% in  2000
 from 90.1%  in 1999 resulting  from the continued trend  of  decreased costs
 in 2000.  The Company  is  continuing  to  see  positive  effects  from  the
 reorganization efforts and cost reductions that were implemented  at the end
 of 1999.   Those  effects included  changes in  internal management  of  the
 business, staffing and strategy.  In addition, the Company is operating more
 efficiently in 2000 due to these changes.

 Other income and expense. Other income and expense increased to $.1  million
 in the third quarter of 2000 from ($.2) million in the third quarter of 1999
 primarily resulting from the sale of a trademark.

 Net income. As  a result of  the above, the  net financial  results for  the
 three months ended August 31, 2000 were $.2 million or $.03 per common share
 compared to a ($1.7) million net loss or $(.23) loss per share in 1999.

 NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2000 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31,
 1999

 Net sales.  Sales decreased  for the  first  nine months  of 2000  to  $47.8
 million from $50.7  million.  The  majority of this  change resulted from  a
 decrease in  Asia  Pacific and  Eventus  sales.   Sales  in 1999  for  these
 segments were positively impacted by grand opening events that were held  in
 the second quarter to promote the  Company's new businesses. Also  impacting
 2000 sales was a decline in North American sales.

 Gross profit. Gross profit margins for the first three-quarters of 2000 were
 76.6% compared with 76.5% for the first three quarters of 1999.  The  slight
 increase in  profit  margins is  the  result  of two  offsetting  trends.  A
 positive impact on profit margins is the  result of a shift in product  mix,
 attributable to  the introduction  of new  products in  2000, toward  higher
 margin skin care  and glamour  products.  The  offsetting impact  is due  to
 changes in demonstration kits and the introduction of other new selling aids
 initiated  by  a  strategy  that  includes  an  emphasis  on  providing  the
 Consultants an increased value on selling tools.
<PAGE>

 Selling,  general  and   administrative  expenses.   Selling,  general   and
 administrative costs decreased for  the first nine months  of 2000 to  74.1%
 from 87.5%  due to  reorganization efforts,  cost reductions  and  decreased
 expansion and development costs for new businesses.

 Other income and expense. Other income and expense increased to $2.1 million
 in 2000 from ($.2) million in  2000 primarily resulting from a capital  gain
 in connection with the sale of an airplane.

 Net income. As a result of the above, net financial results during the first
 nine months of 2000 were $2.2 million or $.30 per common share compared with
 a net loss of ($3.9) million or ($.54) per common share in 1999.

 Working capital increased $5.3  million to $6.1 million  at August 31,  2000
 from $.8 million  at November 30,  1999.  The  Company's financial  position
 strengthened during the first nine months of 2000 with cash and  investments
 increasing $1.4 million to $6.5 million at August 31, 2000. Items  affecting
 working capital were decreases in trade accounts payable and various accrued
 liabilities, which include severance costs, commissions and property  taxes.
 Deferred income, composed primarily of orders received but not yet  shipped,
 also decreased due to timing of the shipment of these orders.

 The Company has a three-year note and security agreement secured by  certain
 assets of the Company bearing interest  at the prime rate  plus .5%.  As  of
 August 31,  2000,  the interest  rate  was  10%, and  the  weighted  average
 interest rate through August 31, 2000 was 10%.  The agreement provides for a
 maximum credit availability of  $7 million dependent upon  the value  of the
 Company's inventory and that  a minimum borrowing level  be maintained.   At
 August 31, 2000, the  available credit on the  revolving loan  agreement was
 $3.4 million.  At August 31, 2000, the outstanding principal under the  note
 and security agreement was $3.9 million.  This amount includes a $.9 million
 balance on a fixed note with monthly principal payments of $27,000 and a  $3
 million balance on  a revolving loan  agreement.  A  balloon payment of  $.3
 million is due May 4, 2002 on the fixed note.

 The Company has  asset financing in  the amount of  $5.8 million secured  by
 certain real estate.  The note is  a ten-year note bearing a fixed  interest
 rate of 8.33% with monthly payments of principal and interest of $48,000.  A
 balloon payment of $4.5 million is  due June 1, 2009.   At August 31,  2000,
 the outstanding balance was $5.7 million.   As part of his arrangement,  the
 Company is required to hold a restricted escrow balance of $850,000.

 CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 Certain statements  in  ITEM 2.  "MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND  ANALYSIS  OF
 RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS  AND  FINANCIAL  CONDITION"  contain  forward-looking
 information.  These statements are based on current expectations, and actual
 results could differ materially.  Important factors that could cause  actual
 results  to  differ  materially  from  those  projected  in  forward-looking
 statements include, but  are not  limited to  the following:   the  possible
 inability of  Tupperware to  complete the  acquisition of  the Company,  the
 risks and uncertainties  associated with integrating  the two companies  and
 retaining key  personnel,  Consultants' (or  Distributors')  sales  activity
 levels, recruiting  of  new Consultants  and  Distributors, services  of  or
 changes in certain members of senior management, new product  introductions,
 protection of  intellectual property  rights and  third party  infringement,
 changes  in   U.S.  or   international  economic   conditions,  results   of
 international operations including  governmental, regulatory, political  and
 foreign exchange rate impacts, results of operations in new markets,  global
 and domestic  expansion efforts,  capital resources  and ability  to  obtain
 necessary financing and market risk.


 ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
            MARKET RISK

 There has not been a material  change in the Company's exposure to  interest
 rate risk on investments  and foreign currency  rate changes since  November
 30, 1999.  Changes to market risk as it relates to interest rate changes  on
 the Company's financing activities has been minimal.  The Company  currently
 has a three-year note and security agreement with an outstanding balance  of
 $3.9 million at August 31, 2000 that may be subject to market risk if  there
 were to be interest rate changes.  The current borrowing under the  facility
 is at 10%.  If the rate were to  increase to 11% and the amount  outstanding
 remained the same, incremental interest expense would reduce earnings before
 taxes by $40,000 annually.  At August 31, 2000, the Company also had a  ten-
 year note with a balance  of $5.7 million, which  has a fixed interest  rate
 and is thus not subject to interest rate volatility.

 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 ITEM 5.

 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 On September 13, 2000, the Company signed a merger agreement with Tupperware
 Corporation  ("Tupperware").    On  September  20,  2000,  a  subsidiary  of
 Tupperware set  forth a  tender  offer for  all  outstanding shares  of  the
 Company's stock for a purchase price of $7.00 per common share.  The  tender
 offer is anticipated to close on October 17, 2000.

 Based on the  intention of BeautiControl  to merge  with Tupperware,  Sheila
 O'Connell  Cooper,   the   Chief   Operating  Officer   and   President   of
 BeautiControl,  elected  to  terminate  her  employment  with  BeautiControl
 effective  September  30,  2000.    The  employment  agreement  and  related
 severance agreement  related  to  this  termination  resulted  in  severance
 payments of approximately $1.2 million.  This severance payment will not  be
 reflected in the  Company's financial  statements but  will be  incorporated
 into purchase  accounting adjustments  to be  made  upon completion  of  the
 merger.

 On October 10, 2000,  M. Douglas Tucker,  a  former employee of the Company,
 filed a Plaintiff's Original Complaint and Jury Demand ("Complaint")  in the
 United  States  District Court, Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division.
 This Complaint alleges age and sex  discrimination,  breach  of contract and
 detrimental  reliance  against  BeautiControl  Cosmetics,  Inc.  The  relief
 sought in the Compliant includes monetary damages totaling no less than $2.5
 million and other unspecified amounts relating to benefits and cost of suit.
 No assessment of  probability regarding the outcome of this complaint can be
 determined at this time.   However,  the Company believes it has meritorious
 defenses to,  and  will vigorously defend against,  the allegations.   Based
 upon  opinion of counsel,  the Company believes that  the  outcome  of  this
 litigation  will  not  have  a  material  adverse  effect upon the Company's
 financial position.
