What Happened to Sensationelle After Dragons’ Den?
Sensationelle appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2012, Series 10 Episode 5. The business was a stick-on eye make-up. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Noora Lewis walked into the Den in 2012 with a stick-on eye make-up. They were asking for £50,000 in exchange for 20% of the business.
Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.
The Deal
No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Noora Lewis left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Sensationelle is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2012, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.
Is Sensationelle Still in Business?
Yes. Sensationelle appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
