Grazia Magazine

For the first time in ages I purchased Grazia magazine the other week. The magazine is published by EMAP plc with a cover price of £1.90. The first edition came out in 2005 and claims to be Britain's first weekly glossy, I understand that to mean a weekly version of Marie Claire, Glamour or Elle. It is more expensive than most other women's weekly magazines, but pro rata the aforementioned monthly glossies are cheaper than buying four editions of this. When I first bought the magazine a few years ago I was impressed with the good mix of designer and high street fashion, as well as 'quality' celebrity articles (as opposed to who as the 'worst cellulite in celebdom' type ...  Read the complete review

Grazia is a magazine that I have been buying more recently. It has been around for a couple of years now and is a more classy celebrity and fashion magazine. Grazia is a weekly magazine that currently costs around £1.95 a week. Sometimes they have a voucher inside to get money off the next issue which is good. It comes out on a Monday but should be available to buy all week. You can tell that Grazia is a bit more classy than your normal celebrity magazine instantly looking at the front cover. There is usually a picture of a celebrity, but this will be a celebrity looking galamorous rather than looking bad. The writing is usually all themed around a ...  Read the complete review

GRAZIA MAGAZINE For the purposes of this review I have read the issue dated 9th March. ***What's it like?*** This magazine is aimed at women and consists of 115 pages, with lots of adverts thrown in. Although there are lots of ads, instead of just Prasda there are some that are in reach of the ordinary consumer, such as TK Max and Aptamil etc. It doesn't appear overly snobby. It has a glossy front cover (this one is graced with Jennifer Aniston), but doesn't have the thick spine of it's dearer counterparts (Elle, Marie-Claire ect). Having said this it is around half the price. It is mostly concerned with what the celebs are ...  Read the complete review

I wouldn't normally buy Grazia as I think £1.90 weekly is a bit steep for a magazine that takes me all of an hour to read cover to cover. But I took out a mobile phone contract with Three and with all their pink phones they were giving away a 6 month magazine subscription, there were three magazines to choose from (2 of which were monthlies which would have been silly!) so I obviously chose this. According to the top of the cover, Grazia was voted best magazine of the year (2008). I wouldn't think it was that special myself especially seen as it costs twice as much as some other fashion magazines. But it's ok for a freebie. Grazia is as I said ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review
