Minx

As opposed to the other scathing reviews on here, I actually think Minx isn't as bad as it is being made out to be! Ok so maybe it is rather overpriced, and yes they do exhaust certain fashion topics etc, but I do still think there are often things worth reading in it! It has always intrigued me why there are no problem pages in the magazine, but I think this is deliberate to focus on positive thinking, and too many problem pages are tiresome! I love the feature where they have a celebrity describe their ideal date, and also the real life stories of people who have led exciting lives (unlike mine!) Maybe Minx isn't the best around, I prefer 19 ...  Read the complete review

To criticise Minx for its lack of serious journalism and heavyweight articles is to entirely miss the point. This is the mag for girls who just wanna have fun. Or just have fun at that moment, anyway. Its target market is girls who are quite happy to dub themselves 'laddettes' and want to read silly, fun and irreverant stuff about having a good time. And if that's its brief it does it fairly well. I'm too old to be in its target market but I enjoy reading this fairly regularly. It has a high feel-good factor, a completely different take on the world from its rivals, who all too often can be justifiably accused of taking themselves too seriously.

I first started reading Minx when it first came out and it was quite a good read - however, it has gone seriously downhill since then. I used to enjoy the fact that it was fairly humourous, but now it seems to take itself really seriously. It has got loads more adverts than it used to and the articles seem to be aimed at 16 year olds instead of 20 somethings. Certainly, it contains nothing of interest to me. The celebrity interviews are all daft, they ask stupid questions and the interviews are far too short. You don't learn anything new and the magazine only seems to interview B list celebs these days anyway. Minx is expensive at £2.30 ...  Read the complete review

For £2.30 Minx mag is not as good value as a lot of the other glossies because it just does not have the same amount of content. I personally do not like it that much and only buy it if i have read all the other magazines that month. Its layout is slightly strange and looks a bit messy. In its early days it often had good articles on things not normally associated with women's lifestyle magazines such as about womens' prisons, or people taken as political hostages but now it simply does not bother and just features the usual relationship articles. There is usually a travel feature on a particular city or destination which is ok, but nothing ...  Read the complete review

I got minx when it first came out, for the price I thought I'd get a bit more out of it, well another one bites the dust. It was full of adverts and useless articals. there was not much writing in it at all, and I'd finished looking at it within 20 minutes of byeing it. By far the worst and money wasteing mag I've ever brought. the only thing good about it was a free vest top on the front of it. and it is a one size one, so anyone over a size 14 looked absolotly awfull in it. I have only brought it once since then and it has not changer in the slightest. Still full of rubbish, if there was an option not to rate something, this would sertainly not get rated. ...  Read the complete review
