Grazia Magazine

Advantages: Nice clothes, grown up magazine
Disadvantages: none

...Grazia magazine has probably become my favourite magazine out at the moment. I think as I've grown older I have moved away from wanting to know what is happening in the Big Brother house (although I have never wanted to know and never watched the show) as told in Heat magazine and the like and feel I have also moved away from the problem pages "my boyfriend slept with my sister" in such magazines as Cosmo, etc. I am not looking either for magazines that let you take surveys to see if he really is the one or if your surname and star sign matches with his. I am however, still looking for fashion, interesting people stories and some celebrity news and for me Grazia has all of those things. Grazia is actually an Italian magazine which has international editions, obviously including one in the United Kingdom. It actually says on the front...

A Star of a Magazine

Advantages: One of the cheaper magazines of its type, good coverage of celebrity happenings
Disadvantages: Only small articles on anything but celebrity's

...Here goes a (hopefully) unbiased review of the magazine Star. I buy a fair few glossy magazines, ranging from my subscription to Glamour to whatever celebrity magazine catches my eye on the newsstand, so I'm fairly well practiced at knowing what content should be in a magazine such as this, and whether it's worth the cover price. About Star Star magazine is a weekly British celebrity magazine published by Northern and Shell (who also publish the British papers Daily Star, The Express and their Sunday counterparts). The current cover price for a copy is 99p, and this week's edition (issue 248 / 6th October 2008) was 114 full colour pages. Star is a celebrity gossip magazine, so most of the content is a round up of what celeb's have been doing during the week. What they've been wearing, who slated who in...

Sugar the magazine that really is worth your money

Advantages: Best magazine i have read yet
Disadvantages: None

...PACKAGING, DESIGN AND CONTENT This comes inside plastic packaging, inside the packaging of the issue that i bought there is a glittery gold purse and a Chupa Chups lolly included. That also came in plastic packaging. Inside there is also the main book which of course is the sugar magazine and there is also a lads magazine.The sugar magazine is small in comparison to the cosmopolitan magazine that i would usually buy. There is lots of information on the cover about the articles which are inside the magazine. They always have a popular celebrity on the front of it. This months issue has Cheryl Cole on it. Its very brightly coloured, decorated with bright green colouring and big fancy pink lettering and has some interestingly named articles which catch your attention. On the top it tells you that you get "two magazines" for the price...

Celebrity Magazine 'HEAT'

Advantages: Good for celebrity gossip, a well written magazine
Disadvantages: to much celebrity nonsense

...~~~~~ Background of me and 'the mag' ~~~~~ I love my magazines. Like any other woman I suppose. I love gossip, I love advice (sometimes we are too scared to ask even our friends and family for advice on some things,) I love reading about the misfortunes of celebrities, (sick i know) and I love the odd story which is real life and 'non-celeb related' these stories after all, bring us down to earth, sadden us and even inspire us. There comes a point however when you realise that you are buying about 4 magazines a week, is it because i'm really that shallow???? Really that vain???? Short answer...... Yes, magazines probe vanity. Longer answer.....No, the reason woman buy lots of different magazines, is simply that each magazine contains different things, and we woman, need everything!!!!! ~~~~~~~~ down to the heat...

Cbeebies Magazine - A Treat Other Than Sweets

Advantages: Lots of content & Free gift
Disadvantages: Price is fairly high

...Cbeebies Weekly Magazine...... Jack is a big fan of Cbeebies and it is a channel that is on in our house more than any other, so when I saw this magazine relating to the television channel I thought I would give it a try. Cbeebies the television channel is based for children of pre-school age, so really from birth to 4 but has shows suitable for children of all ages (and some shows I really do like). The magazine related entirely to this channel, the shows aired on it and the presenters. The magazine costs £1.99 pence which I find a little high for any magazine however it does always come with a free gift which makes you feel you are getting a bit more for your money. This price is about right though when looking at all the other children's magazines they are all in the same price bracket. I often buy it when doing...

Calling all knit-wits! Simply Knitting magazine

Advantages: Good selection of patterns and great free gifts.
Disadvantages: Too many ads and expensive yarns featured.

...Review of Simply Knitting Magazine. Simply Knitting, as the name suggests is a monthly magazine dedicated to the craft of knitting. The magazine is available in newsagents and supermarkets at a cost of £4.99 or from various on line magazine subscription services, at a slightly lower rate. I enjoy hand knitting when the mood takes me, sometimes I will knit every day for a month and then not touch my needles again for ages, I am currently in a knitting and reading phase, two things I find easy to do at the same time! Multi tasking, I guess! About Simply Knitting The magazine is a glossy treasure trove for all hand knitters. Each month the magazine contains a selection of knitting patterns for women, men, children or babies clothing and often patterns for toys and household goods. The patterns are written in a very clear and easy...

Scrapbook Inspirations Magazine

Advantages: Some excellent ideas,exciting projects and lots of information
Disadvantages: non

...Scrapbooking used to be a favourite occupation during the Victorian era. My Grandmother was an avid scrapbooker and I still have 2 of her albums,filled with snippets of all the greetings cards that she had received over the years. In he past I have made many scrapbooks with my children,a way of entertaining them on a winters day,its an inexpensive hobby that can keep anyone occupied for hours. The magazine is exactly as it describes itself..inspirational.. Very individual ideas pop up,making table setting place names,ideas for making customised napkin rings. An idea that will really have appeal for the children..how to make a theatre and characters to put on a show. A recently featured idea was how to display family photographs in a fun way ! This was an exercise that my granddaughter and I did together one evening..we bought...

Review of What's On TV Magazine

Sugar magazine

Advantages: Good read , Suitable for teenagers , includes useful sources of information , affordable
Disadvantages: You have to wait a whole month for the next issue!

...In my opinion Sugar magazine is the best teenage magazine that there is.It's full of helpful information that meets teenagers' needs such as information on boys , life , health , sex and it answers all the embaressing questions teenagers are too embaressed to ask. It's great value for money at £2.30. It's good that it allows the readers get involved such as real life stories , problems , embaressing moments etc! and also pays them well for their stories. I like the fact that it features normal-like celebs on the cover that teenagers feel they can relate too such as Emma watson. Because the magazine only comes out once a month I find that the gossip is not up to date. The cover is eye-catching and fun.They advertise products that appeal to teenagers for example girlie movies and fashion.It also has it's own website at www...

Red Magazine - well worth the money

Advantages: Interesting articles that women want to read
Disadvantages: None

...I have been reading Red magazine since March when it was recommended to me by a friend. She is a bit older than me and already married with children, where as I am not. I thought it would be a bit out of my age range, but I bought it anyway and really enjoyed it. I couldn't put it down. Each month there is a celebrity interview, and this is not like the normal celeb interview you find, but it is conducted in a relaxed environment and the write up is about 2 or three pages long. They have resident writers each moth writing about topics that many women can relate to. One writer is Rosie Green, who always refers to her partner as 'Alpha Male'. I particularly liked the article in September?s issue entitled 'Real men don't get ill'. At the time of reading I could really relate to this and it made me laugh. There is also a fashion...
