Marie Claire Reviews

Well, what can I say? Despite its reputation as a magazine for people that have fluff for brains, Marie Claire is one of the most well balanced magazines that I have ever had the pleasure to read. It has more fashion, beauty and celebrites than you can shake the proverbial stick at, right next to hard-hitting issues from all over the world. ...

Marie Claire has some interesting and topical articles, but why does it have so many booooring fashion pages. I bought the platinum issue, and right bang in the middle were wadges of boring, 'suitable for anorectics only' fashion. Why oh why, does there have to be so much of it? If you took it out, there wouldn't be much else. ...

This is one womens magazine that really stands out from the rest. The difference being is that it actually takes more than half an hour to read and is interesting and informative as well as being fun but without having to resort to articles about sex the whole time like most other mags seem to feel the need to do. Other magazines seem to ...

Is this the best womens magazine on the market or what! I have a monthly subscription to Marie Claire and must say its worth every penny! It takes me ages to get through the hundreds of pages packed with informative articles which are well written and have excellent photography to accompany them. Then there is all the bang up to day ...

I have fallen in love. No, not with a shampoo, but with this fantastic mag, which I have been reading for only a few issues but have already become addicted. As a 17 year-old I guess I am probably one of the younger readers of Marie Claire, but it really does hit the spot for me. This is a refreshingly different, not at all frothy and very ...

I purchased Marie Claire this month for a change . Wow , i was amazed at how good it was . Priced at 2.70 it is slightly dearer than other ladies magazines i've bought but it is much better quality and is much more mature . The content of the feature articles were really factual and well written . There was a large section covering fashion and ...

Are you sick of magazines telling you how to find out how to have the perfect orgasm,(and lets face it, where is the fun in reading about it?)then this is the magazine for you! It does have the usual glossy features but they are presented in a less cheesy way than some other monthly mags. There are the usual fashion, beauty and lifestyle ...

This used to be by far the best women's magazine around with serious articles about topics never covered anywhere else. A change of editor a year ago, has moved the magazine notably back towards the frivolous fashion and sex style of other monthlies. Not being interested in spending hundreds of pounds on designer labels, half the magazine ...

You must buy the August edition of Marie Clair even if you don't like the content of the magazine the free gift is absolutely fabulous! This month you get a great handbag free and it is the latest style, I have been using mine since I got it (and I could even fit my umberella in it - essential for this lovely uk summer weather). ...

Knowing I had a boring night in alone, I picked up Marie Claire for 2 reasons. 1 was that I had read a really good review, and 2 it had a freebie!!! And a very useful one at that! I found it a really interesting read. The July issue had Latin Fever with Ricky Martin and the next big supermodel. Reading the article made me think twice ...

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 ...

This is what it is like reading Marie Claire nowadays: Big star on front cover. Advert. Advert. Advert. Worthy piece about one-legged African witches who are working in coal mines. Advert. Advert. Advert. Too-long interview with famous person who I have no interest in. Advert. Advert. 'I slept with my mother's boyfriend's ...

Marie Claire gets bigger every month. The free gifts get more elaborate, and its stuffed with samples too. But that's not why I buy it. Marie Claire tackles issues other womens mags sweep under the carpet. Female circumcision, child brides, women sold into slavery by their families. Its a shocking world out there, and Marie Claire brings it to ...

My favourite magazine-which I don't have to buy as I get to read my daughter's. She never misses a month thankfully! Even though the fashion is aimed at a younger woman I love to see what the latest trends are. I can always dream! I do enjoy the features though and they are usually well researched and well written. I like the way that ...

Marie Claire now styles itself "The Only Glossy with Brains" and that's exactly the way I would describe it. I started buying Marie Claire for the freebies..... free facial in one issue, free amazon.co.uk voucher in another, free manicure etc.... the freebies are unsurpassed and by themselves are more than worth the cost of ...

Women's magazines. You know, those things you flick through in the hairdressers or you buy in the hope that they'll make an otherwise boring journey a little less dull. We all know that they're usually filled with pictures of skinny models wearing outfits that not only look ridiculous but also have insane price tags but are there any ...

Marie claire is thick and glossy and looks as though you're going to get a lot for your £2.60. But you don't. About 20% of it is made up of adverts and even worse about 40% is made up of pictures of models wearing clothes that most normal women wouldn't even consider wearing. These photographs are most likely taken in very expensive ...

If your looking for a magazine to get absorbed in without it being full of fashion or "how to get your man" then this one is for you it can look quite daunting when its on the shelf all thick and glossy but once inside you will find its quite down to earth . They have the most interesting articles from around the world and they ...

I’ve bought this magazine regularly for the past two years and, in my opinion, it is the best of the large variety of woman’s glossys. While most monthlys such as Cosmo and Company concentrate on articles based on sex and ‘how to please your man’, Marie Claire provides these types of articles interspersed with intricate ...

Marie Claire manages to combine frivolous fashion items and jokey opinion pieces with classy, informed writing, particularly on women's issues around the world - a rare thing indeed! They often have very disturbing pieces about the scandalous treatment of women in remote countries, but it is always a balanced view with local culture ...
