    4 Stars May not be as bliss as it used to be 01/04/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Small, good light read.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lots of adverts

    Bliss magazine is primarily aimed at teenagers in the range of 13-17 I would say. The magazine is A5 size, it used to be A4 but then it decreased it size along with a few other magazines supposedly so it can ‘fit in your handbag’. Well it doesn’t fit it mine, but then again mines quite small. So anyway the latest issue I have, is the May issue which has a picture of Lindsay Lohan on the front. Each issue they have a celeb on the front. At the top is the name of the mag is big, bold pink with the website at the side. At the bottom it says ‘136 must-have shopping buys!’ and in between these two ... more

    4 Stars The Best Feeling In The World... 23/10/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lots of different sections, mix of serious and fun.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not a lot of free stuff.

    Well, that's how Bliss describes itself anyway. Bliss is a magazine aimed at teenage girls. It is a mix of serious and fun. I would say it was aimed at girls of about 13-16, yet I have known a few of my boy mates to take a sneaky peek when they thought I wasn't looking ;) Bliss is out monthly, usually around the fifth of each month. I subscribe to it, which cost about £20 for a year. This means I get my Bliss 1 or 2 days earlier than it hits the shops (WOW!!) Bliss costs £1.75 a month and can be bought from most good newsagents, as well as places like Woolworths and Superdrugs. You will ... more

    4 Stars Not bad as magazines go 13/03/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy reading, nice to relax with

    Disadvantages Disadvantages too many ads, quite expensive

    Bliss is a fairly average teenage girls mag. It's A5 sized but comes in a large plastic package which i personally think is a waste of resources and also crackles very loudly, so if you are going to read the magazine on a bus or in a library I would advise you to take off the packaging first if you're easily embarassed like me! The current price is about £2.20, which is in the usual range for magazines of this type but is a bit steep considering the amount of space taken up by adverts. There are usually 150 - 170 pages. The mag always comes with a free gift, sometimes makeup or a bag, but ... more

    4 Stars Ah Bliss! 10/10/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Has various sections, aimed at teenagers

    Disadvantages Disadvantages nothing

    Issued monthly, Bliss is a magazine for girls, covering topical issues. Fashion is a vast inclusion in the publication, picturing famous faces and their styles, giving comments (good and bad!), stating where and at what price the clothes were and can be bought, as well as giving general fashion tips. The November 2003 issue featured stars such as Beyonce Knowles, Tara Palmer Tompinkson and Jordan. As with any typical girls mag, Bliss also has a focus on beauty. Again it depicts the way in which celebs use cosmetics to ‘tart’ themselves up. Recommending beauty products and their prices is a ... more

    4 Stars Bliss just a bit over exaggerated 19/02/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very helpful and fun to read

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too expensive and not as good FREE gifts

    Bliss, the magazine for young women, teenagers or should I just say GURLZ! Now I'm a normal teenage girl (I think......!) So I guess I should enjoy reading these cool teen girly mags....!? But lately I haven't enjoyed reading them much..... Read on to find out more like why...!? Every Saturday once a month, I always literally ran to my local newsagents to get the new edition of 'Bliss' my faveourite all time magazine! I'd literally run home as well so I could open the packaging quicker and get out MY 'Bliss' to read! It was jammed packed full of FREE coupons and bargains that I'd always use ... more

    5 Stars Pure Bliss 22/10/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Colourful, bright and good content

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None really

    I get bliss every month. It is a magazine for teenage girls. It currently costs £2.10. It is A5 size, which is handy as it fits into some of my handbags, although not all of them. It is colourful and attractive and it is easily spotted on the shelves in the shops. You can buy it at good newsagents and stores like Asda (which is where I get mine from) The content's page is bright and colourful and it is an excellent quick reference to what is inside the magazine. It is split into 7 sections: On the cover - I think this is really good as it can take ages to look for something that appeared on ... more

    4 Stars Are You Blissed up? 21/06/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Small ( can fit anywhere), packed with everything

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too many modelling pages, small you may loose it

    Bliss describes itself as 'the best feeling in the world and it comes quite close to it. Bliss is a typical teenage magazine with celebrities, problems, fashion and boys, but theres something quite diffrent about it. It may be the size, or the content but it does (in my opinion) rank among the top teenage magazines. Being a teenager myself I buy bliss when its issued every month from a local newsagents although its available in superdrugs, tescos and woolworths etc at £1.75. theres often free gifts such as handbags and makeup which are ok, but that also isnt the reason i buy it. Althought the ... more

    3 Stars Blissful.I don't think so. 28/08/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Helps young girls with everyday important issues.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Price is a little much concidering this is supposed to be marketed for young teenage girls.

    I first started buying this teen magazine about 3 years ago.It was £1.60 I saw it on sale at my local super market and it was a massive £2.00. The magazine deals with a lot of important issues,a lot of them not really relavent to 13-14 year olds,i.e contraceptions!!!!!! Overall though i found it quite a reliable source.It has fasion pages,problem pages,scopes,music and film pages,and a most embarrasing page. It also has real life stories page.You get "free" things with it too. As "Bliss" is marketing this magazine to teenage girls,who have very little money,you think they would put it at an ... more
