Advantages: Great if you love advertising

Disadvantages: Expensive fashion, ridiculous make up tips, TOO MANY ADVERTS

I used to really enjoy Marie Claire, I thought the investigative reporting was fantastic and really informative and I always enjoyed the biographical articles at the back. However, these days, Marie Claire is advert followed by advert followed by advert. The clothes are so expensive that the "average" person has absolutely no chance of even being able to afford a hair clip and the make up pages offer ideas that may look ok (?) on the catwalk but no normal person would leave the house wearing.

If you buy Marie Claire these days you are basically paying for a whole magazine of advertising.
