Best Magazine

I have been brought up in a family of very keen 'recyclers' who have the motto "If you are finished with it then pass it on". This applies to everything from old television sets to paperback books, but one thing that regularly circulates amongst my sister and mother and I, is magazines. We buy our own, read them, and then pass them on to each other, ensuring that we well and truly get our monies worth from each one! One magazine that is a favourite of my sister is 'Best' magazine. I therefore have had the pleasure of receiving copies of this magazine for the past three years or so - second hand of course. Best magazine is a weekly ...  Read the complete review

I don't buy Best Magazine every week, but it is a good read and at 78p a copy it is certainly good value for money. The contents include something for everyone, mainly female readership though. On the cover of the 6th March edition is a picture of GMTVs weather girl Andrea Mc Lean, who gives an insight into her life as a mum and talks about her relationship with her partner Steve. There is a section called Best Club where readers can send in letters and photographs and household tips, all of which are paid for contributions. I particularly enjoy the crossword, which is called Star Cashword where you can win 1500 quid! I keep ...  Read the complete review

Just to make readers aware that I am reviewing best magazine, a celebrity gossip magazine, which in fact looks absolutely nothing like the picture that dooyoo have at the top of the page. I am not sure if there are two different magazines or not, but anyhow. I actually didn't purchase this magazine, as I rarely buy celebrity gossip magazines, however my sister did, and passed it on to me when she had finished with it. I believe she actually got this magazine as part of an offer, along with two other magazines at the airport for part of a 3 for £1 deal. The front page of this magazine includes headlines advertising articles inside on celeb ...  Read the complete review

The first thing you notice about Best is that there are less advertisements in it than the average womans magazine. This of course means more stories etc. Best has 6 headings 1. Cover This tells you all the stories pictured on the cover and the page number they are on in the magazine. 2. Real Life There are usually 2 or 3 stories under this title. They can be happy or sad but they are true. 3. For You Under this heading is Claire King who will talk about anything and everything. Remember her she was in Bad Girls and Emmerdale. Its your best club. Kate and Jackie with letters and ...  Read the complete review

I have to say i feel slightly mystified how this managed to achieve an overall rating of 4/5! This magazine is a weekly publication that costs a tiny 87p, which is why id ecided on my lunch break that i would grab it to flick through. And flick through i did - there is hardly anything in this mag! I found that although the stories were promising, ie "Live your life for less with a 13 page supplement" in reality they are fluffed up rubbish ie dye a coat a different colour / sew new buttons onto a top / keep a bowl of vinegar in a room rather than a freshner... i mean, really?? The pictures are cheesey and posed, the articles (if they can be called that) ...  Read the complete review
