Glamour

Although I don't generally tend to buy Glamour every month, after I have had a busy and stressful few weeks, Glamour is my guilty pleasure. I love to relax with a copy of glamour magazine and every issue I buy never fails to keep me going from cover to cover. I have february 2008's copy here, which is out now. I brought it to relax after handing in a chuck of my dissertation. This issue has interesting articles, fashion, hair and make up tips etc. On the cover: Reese Witherspoon - a candid article in which she talk about love, drugs, being a single mother and the influence she has on her children. "A sex cult stole my childhood" ...  Read the complete review

Glamour magazine was something that I spotted at the airport and with a price tag of just £2 I decided to snap one up and put the free 'Nails Inc' nail polish in to my luggage ready for the flight. There were lots of different shades available with the magazines so I had a flick through and found a nice natural shade which I have given to my sister in law. The magazine itself has a lovely glossy cover with a pretty cover girl showing the latest clothes, fashionable hairstyle and natural make up. There are also snippets of the contents on the front pages with enticing headlines such as 'would you order sex online?' and these headlines really are designed to ...  Read the complete review

I consider magazines to be an indulgence. I have two which I subscribe to, and I rarely buy any others, except if I need a Heat fix! Glamour is one of my subscriptions (the other is Empire) and I have been subscribing to it for 4 years now. My latest annual subscription cost (June 2009) was £12.95. The cover price for buying in a shop is £2, which is good value compared to some of the glossies which are close to £4, but I've saved a further £11 on my year's worth of Glamour. Glamour is the original handbag-sized magazine. It is approximately A5 size, as opposed to the normal magazine size of A4. While I don't tend to actually carry it around in my ...  Read the complete review

I love magazines and buy them quite frequently. I subscribe to Cosmopolitan but I also frequently buy Glamour too. Glamour started in March 2001, and the July 2009 is the 100th issue. I have the July 2009 issue in front of me at the moment. This is the current issue and costs £2 and comes with a free mascara (which I was pleasantly surprised to find is very good!) In this issue there is a page titled "Get A-list lashes for free" and shows some celebrities (e.g. Gwen Stefani) as well as some tips on applying mascara. There is also an offer for glamour readers to get 15% off at Benefit cosmetics online (the make of the free mascara). I first bought ...  Read the complete review

Glamour Magazine was launched in 2001 and is one of my favourite magazines. It's what I like to call a fashion magazine, like Cosmo, Marie Claire, etc and opposed to more of a celebrity/gossip magazine like Hello and OK. It comes out monthly and costs £2 which I think is a good price for a magazine like this. According to advertising on the front it says that it is Britain's Number One Women's magazine. What I like about it is that it has a big focus towards fashion with a few celebrities thrown in and lots of glossy pages of looks, make up, etc. I like that it tends to be a bit more grown up than Cosmopolitan and doesn't contain too many articles on sex tips ...  Read the complete review
