Forgot the Beauty Advent Calender link(s).
2 on Lookfantastic and it was the 12 Day Pro Miracle one further down that also caught the eye.
Quite a few on the Debenhams (BOO owned) website if you scroll down also.

I actually saw two of their Advent Beauty Calenders on the Lookfanstastic website just the other day when I was looking for one to buy myself for my good lady. Very reasonably priced I thought and free delivery as well if I remember correctly.
Just going back to the share price and it incredibly being sat not that much higher than pre-suspension levels, and with it having moved or been moved down on not in reality a lot of volume.
Here's the gist of a reflective post that I popped up on here a few weeks back for what has occurred since
Good Morning Oculus,
Absolutely no idea what is going on with the share price here but its at ridiculous levels and getting to virtually zero reflection of all the hard work that was done post suspension, including
~ getting both sets of accounts published and out there,
~ banking sorted,
~ processes improved and tightened
~ Trading update that took it to 36p only recently
~ BOO's very large shareholding 26.54%, most acquired during suspension.
~ William Currie Investments adding recently also and holding 5.22%.
All that being enough to add many 10's of percent to any other share..."
Must be a Q3 update due at some point soon so I'll continue to hold for this and Q4 and Festive sales and always in the knowledge that this can climb just as fast and as large. No real news difference from the 36p it reached of a month or so ago.
Was gonna buy the wife one of their beauty calendars for Christmas. They’ve blown that lol
The credit facility was fully drawn but they had capital to work with and were managing this well, especially when you take into account the expansion into Walgreens and Walmart etc.
Anyone managed to read the previous results,, they don't have any more capital to work with,, credit fully drown,,, could we expect huge r issue?,,if things don't turn around,,, anyone,,i won't be surprised if we were to see single digits in the long run,, they need to sort out there finance's,, otherwise could be looking very glim,,,
Madness. Back near the suspension price yet we've already been told Q1 generated £3.5m EBITDA and sales were ahead of internal forecasts.
still going through the welcome manual, hopefully she gets to the page about investor relations soon.
this is just a **** show day after day, week after week now.
congrats to those who managed to get out in the 30s or high 20s.
A complete joke. Almost back to suspension price ffs.
I would expect this to pop back up again today Boo having a good first half hour... time will tell.
Looks like new ceo is just a boo puppet. Price being driven down. No comms what so eve
S/h comms are very poor and need to improve . The only time they were quick to tell us what is going on it was to report he said she said over the BOO spat.
It is being held down, no doubt about it. I rode this share before the suspension and jumped out the day before. This a great brand with great channels, in the not distant future someone will make a move.
Feels like someone offloading a chunk of size, pushing the price down with no buyers interested yet.
I can't believe how much it has dropped. I think this is because of the worries of net debt increasing given no news since the new boss took over. I think end Feb, there was £15.4m cash and debt facility fully drawn. Then the most recent update had debt facility still fully drawn but cash of just £11m. This seems quite a drop and is a bit worrying for me. On the flip side, if they increase their coffers above £15m over the christmas period then there is no real issue whatsoever. I am personally waiting for a trading update and an update on the cash situation before I get in. Having got out at 26-27p or so, I don't mind waiting a bit even if that means missing the bottom wherever that is. When the next trading update comes out, it could fly upwards or plummet, just hard to know which way right now with this silence on trading. Big upside for the brave if it is positive.
BOO like it enough to want it, William Currie believes it to be a good investment case at the price they paid and the scary distance this has fallen since IPO I'd say was a lot of peoples primary reason for being here. It's all about the next couple of updates, more upside than down from here is my call.
William Currie disagree
Remember a lot of people telling me 28p was a terrible time to sell out. I think the quick growth case here is gone. Of course no one has a crystal ball, but likely a long term investment now. When you look at the IPO price now, it's scary how much this has fallen. GLA all and DYOR.
Risk is it goes to Boo and private for nil premium
Shockingly bad
Appears that your totally false drop is continuing. Simply no buyers at the minute and the company is not forthcoming in giving the market any reason to change that. A bit concerning but I'll choose to believe that Lauren is knuckling down trying to get her first set of numbers and shareholder update as close to perfection as she can 🤞
Totally false drop, Dan. Manipulation at play. More bought than sold, but no particularly large trades either way to warrant a drop like this. Can only think they are trying to fill a buy order down here.
Not encouraging you to top up btw. Just my reading of the situation. Frustrating as it is. Brindley needs to see at least 27p as much as anyone!
Would normally top up at situations like this but seem to be losing faith
Absolute joke
Just thought of this post when I seen the latest drop!
Heading back towards the opening price after all those many months of holding on while in suspension.
She was recruited by Boohoo, likely as a puppet. Lauren does not currently have experience of running a beauty brand or PLC, which at this stage in the companies recovery is vital. Bob Holt as an experienced business operator was better placed to continue the recovery before handing over the reins. Though he was obviously too outspoken for the Boohoo chairman Mahmud Kamani's ego to handle. However Lauren has many strengths, years of beauty experience and understanding of the UK/US markets, so hopefully she quickly takes to the role of running a beauty brand and delivers on Revolutions potential.
