Every month I receive a copy of Red Magazine as a 'hand me down' from a friend, we like to each buy a different magazine, and once we have finished reading, we like to swap, so really getting two reads for the price of one. Red Magazine retails at £3.60 so isn't a cheap read, but I do feel that it does offer good value in terms of quality and content. Red is published by Hachette Fillipacchi UK who are also responsible for other well known publications which include Elle, Elle Decoration, Sugar, Iniside Soap, All About Soap and Psychologies. At the end of 2008 circulation was approximately 225,000. What you may first notice with regard to this ...  Read the complete review

Red magazine is available from all good newsagents and magazine retailers on a monthly basis for £3.50. There is a corresponding website at www.redmagazine.co.uk, but this does not contain very information aside from links of how to subscribe and details which signify indicative articles from the issue currently available. Each issue typically contains around 220+ pages. The magazine is available in regular size or in a more compact travel-size. The magazine also has a mail-order/online shopping directory of jewellery, bags, homeware and quirky gifts for children at www.reddirect.co.uk and you will often find a physical catalogue as part of the magazines ...  Read the complete review

I have been reading Red magazine since March when it was recommended to me by a friend. She is a bit older than me and already married with children, where as I am not. I thought it would be a bit out of my age range, but I bought it anyway and really enjoyed it. I couldn't put it down. Each month there is a celebrity interview, and this is not like the normal celeb interview you find, but it is conducted in a relaxed environment and the write up is about 2 or three pages long. They have resident writers each moth writing about topics that many women can relate to. One writer is Rosie Green, who always refers to her partner as 'Alpha Male'. I ...  Read the complete review

It's always such a treat to snuggle up with a magazine and a bar of chocolate. During my early twenties however i lost this luxury as the magazines were all too young, too 'celebrity' focused or too much home and garden. Then i discovered Red, which was actually first donated to me by my Nan's friend - she's 84! This is a fab magazine. Unlike others, it is not just stuffed full of adverts or pictures - there is a great deal to read on a range of diverse topics - the articles come under the following headings: Red shops, fashion, features, beauty, living, escapes, health, offers and 'in every issue'. The shops and fashions are affordable and offer ...  Read the complete review

I have always been a bit of a magazine addict - at the peak of my obsession, in my mid-20s I was spending a silly amount of money on magazines, reading a couple of women's glossies each month, at least one weekly celebrity gossip title and every wedding magazine I could get my hands on... at least once I was safely married I couldn't justify buying any more wedding magazines, although it didn't stop me lusting over all the pictures of beautiful dresses and expensive flowers. I then launched full-on into a pregnancy magazine obsession - until I realised that they're all the same and I could find out far more on the internet anyway. So now, older and hopefully ...  Read the complete review
