Prima Reviews

I used to buy Prima on a regular basis, but gave it up due to cost. However I missed reading the magazine so much that I investigated the option of subscribing on an annual basis. This has proved to be much more economical, and I would it recommend subscribing if you wish to read Prima every month. Prima caters for a wide range of age ...  Read the complete review

Well, Prima is another magazine I bought last week just because it promised a freebie with it! I really am a sucker for freebies but am I glad I bought Prima! Tow reasons really: - the freebie: you have to cut the coupon inside the magazine and take to any Elizabeth Arden counters in large Boots. You then get a free ...  Read the complete review

I think i must be the only one of my friends who reads Prima! I'm 30 and discovered it last year and now read it every month! I have always considered it to be a magazine for women probably 45+ . I suppose it depends on your lifestyle rather than your age as to whether you would find it interesting. I started reading it last year when i was ...  Read the complete review

Prima – a magazine name known to many, and quite rightly so because Prima means first or leading and I feel it is a leading magazine in the area it covers and it certainly covers lots of areas. It started back in October 1986, and although at that time I thought it was expensive I did buy it as there was always a free pattern and I made ...  Read the complete review

When I first came across Prima in the 1980's it was a new type of magazine. It was very thick and full of crafty ideas. Since the 1980's it has changed very little, it is not as fat as it used to be but it is still filled with ideas. At first glance you may think that this is a magazine like many other woman’s magazines. ...  Read the complete review

When I first came across Prima I thought I had died and gone to heaven. This magazine has every thing of interest to me. Fashion, not the sort for young girls but the sort of clothing us slightly more mature people can wear. Food, it includes all sorts of food items. One month there ...  Read the complete review

I used to read my Mom's Prima and unlike any other women magazines it used to take hours to read rather than half an hour. Packed with useful hints for cooking and crafts (which I love). But lately it seems to target the rich housewife. I cannot afford the rich foodstuffs it suggests you make. The crafts are very difficult to make - and ...  Read the complete review

When I sa the Prima Christmas Traditions magazine for sale I snapped it off the shelf. As a lover of Prima magazine I was looking forward to helpful tips and hints for Christmas. What a let down. I wasted £2.50 which I did not think too expensive at first as Prima has never let me down. Now it does so Big style. The magazines recipes are ...  Read the complete review

I have just brought my first copy of this as my baby picked it up for me and i thought I shall have a read for a change. It cost £1.90 and I got a free tote bag worth £10. The mag is very glossy not too heavy, quite a few adverts, lovely photographs and articles for every woman. There is a pattern for a dress ideal for people who can sew. Decent ...  Read the complete review

Being a seasonal dressmaker...I tend to get my sewing machine out once a year for a few weeks, I like to look in Prima for their pattern of the month. Consider the cost of sewing patterns, which can be quite expensive, and the cost of Prima which has not just a sewing pattern, knitting pattern, embroidery/cross stitch, sometimes stencils, ...  Read the complete review

Prima is an excellent all round read that is aimed at all women. It has lots of different articles, along with sections on fashion/beauty, health, money, lots of different recipes and there is a free pattern every month which enables you to make a variety of different clothes and other makes. The magazine is well put together and every ...  Read the complete review

Prima is a little difficult to describe. It is neither a fashion magazine, nor a home magazine, a health title nor a craft title. It has a jumble of everything I suppose. There is usually a few pages of affordable, down to earth fashion at the front of the magazine, then youw ill get some craft features. These include crafts for the home ...  Read the complete review

In prima you get cookery tips recipes, fashion advice on whats in and whats out , some good feature articles,DIY ideas too.something for everyone basically. this magazine is probably aimed more at the 20,s age group, The ...  Read the complete review

I recently bough a copy of Prima and thoroughly enjoyed it! Which worries me a little - it's a sign I'm getting older. They have lots of various womens articles, from health checks and issues to decorating and of course recipe ideas. They also have quite a large dressmaking section, and in each issue there is a free pattern, ...  Read the complete review
