Advantages: Affordable, full of celebrity gossip, aimed at all ages of women

Disadvantages: Not very much real life stories

I really love reading Glamour. I recently did a review of Cosmopolitan saying it was great, and I'd like to say that I think Glamour is the cheaper version of Cosmo.

It contains loads of celebrity stuff (always with a female celeb adorning the front page), with lots of celeb gossip inside, and interviews with interesting and inspiring celebs. The latest issue featured Katie Price / Jordan and showed her in a completely different light than how she's been represented by newspapers lately, as a lovely mother who's had a tough life. She's been portrayed as an intelligent, feisty woman who's managed to create a brand of herself which is why she's now a millionaire.

Glamour is a lot more fashion and celeb focused than Cosmo, who have a lot more real life articles. Glamour does have some real life things, but generally in the form of a short story or two, a couple of articles, whereas Cosmo has whole sections devoted to these.

Glamour contains loads of fashion pages, and at the at lots of beauty pages too. It's a mini-Vogue in a way, but not as posh! It contains lots of tips on the latest trends in clothing, hairstyles and make up patterns, so is definitely aimed at a fairly young generation of girls, between teenage years and 30 I'd say, and those who are keen on keeping up with the latest fashions.

If you just take a flick through a Glamour mag, most of the pages are taken up by fashion photo shoots, pictures of celebs and adverts. There are loads of pages full of new clothing styles, accessories, beauty products, all comparing prices and fashions.

Glamour is really good as it doesn't just feature stick thin models, but encourages lots of healthy eating and exercise.

Glamour is only £2, one of the reasons why its the first item in my basket in the supermarket! It's also pocket size so fits perfectly in my shopper bag :)

Summary: Pocket sized fashion bible!
