Best fashion magazine available
This is the best fashion magazine on the market.Very realistic with budgets too.It shows different ways in which everyone can be fashionable (on any budget).I also enjoy the beauty articles because they have original ideas to stay in style and keep your skin looking beaufiful.

The Magazine Diva Says........
InStyle magazine takes its readers into the lives of celebrities and makes them accessible. The features are very informative and fun. I enjoy the Man of Style feature and the Entertaining guide best! For more on mags, visit my blog at magazinediva.typepad.com.

Love This Magazine!!
In my humble opinion, this is the best magazine for style and fashion advice. Even the advertisements are hip and informative, in terms of fashion and style. Of all the style magazines out there today, this is far and away the best of the best. ... Read more

Step back from the cover Oprah
Regardless of the quality of the magazine, it is really annoying to see Oprah on every single cover! and to make it worst, she does not pick "regular Oprah shots", instead you look at every issue's front cover and ask yourself "How did they take that picture? She doesn't even look like her!" It's as if Oprah is telling all of us "See how I can look like?" Every month is just a new testimony from Oprah, that money does do wonders.
Every home could own this magazine
As an author I find Oprah's magazine to be the most inspirational any human being could use to start their month."Divorcing a wife because you can not be all she needs is a very loving act.Everyone deserves intimacy-emotional and physical.If a gay or bisexual man loves his wife, her happiness will be more important to him than his own.Setting her free to allow her the opportunity to be loved as she deserves to be, is the ultimate expression of love." Dennis J. Schleicher
I love the show but the magazine...
I love Oprah and her show ut the magazine is SOOOOOO full of advertisements that it has lost me a bit.There is not much content to the magazine.If you aren't interested in the few main articles that month.There is not much there. ... Read more

Liked it when she got it
Ordered my wife a subscription last christmas.
Used to be the best
About two years ago, Vanity Fair was not only the best magazine of the year, but maybe all time.I would read it from cover to cover.
One of the better glossy magazines out there in the world of make believe
I don't normally like glossy magazines that think too much of themselves, I think that they were invented to be dumped on coffee tables to look good when you have visitors around for coffee but if you want a really good and intelligent read, buy TIME or Newsweek.

Waste of Money and Time
I picked up an issue of this magazine last week because I wanted to take the picture of the cover girl into my hair dresser. After I got it home, I opened it up to check it out and discovered it is the most brainless magazine I have ever seen. The articles read like something from "Teen Beat", yet it's filled with adult material. There were about 10 articles on "how to please your man" and "what guys like" and even a "sex workout". These articles didn't contain any "real" advice--just unintelligent babble. For instance, did any of you know that guys don't like it when you act unenthusiastic during sex? HMMM, crazy.
What is sex like for him?
Cosmopolitan is a magazine that has a lot of information of different subjects. It's not only about sex and how to look great,but also about people's concerns. It's very easy to read and find what you are looking for, but there are also many ads. The perfume it usually has inside is pretty bad, and once you open it, the whole magazine smells. But as of context, the magazine is interesting

If Women Buy this Tripe Is There Any Hope For Us?
If you're in search of a magazine for women that actually has worthwhile content then move on. There is nothing of substance in Cosmopolitan. Open the latest issue and you will find "sex tips that will drive your man crazy!!!" and "snag that cutie!!" galore. It's pathetic. And sophomoric.

Conspicuous consumption
I got this as a freebie along with W and it lasted only as long as I received it for one year.The use of fur and skins was nauseating and I couldn't have been more disgusted at the vapid, innocuous, 'insights' it offered.This magazine has no redeeming social value.

Glossy Body Art
For me, the September issue of Vogue, with its 700 page issue, is more than eye candy. It's art. It's that simple. I no longer look at most of the fashion in the magazine, nor the models, as realistic, something that can ever transfer into my own life, nor would I want it to. It reminds me of trips to art museums where I can admire one painting half the afternoon, but it doesn't mean I want it hanging on my wall at home.
Vogue is so OUT of vogue
A friend once said to me, "If you want a glossy that is a no brainer then get Vogue!"

Um, no magazine
I'm sure this is a great magazine.But after ordering it and waiting 4 months I still don't have it.I have contacted the Amazon magazine service twice now and still don't know where my magazine is, or when it is coming.I was supposed to be coming in mid march (so there is a wait to begin with fyi).I gave this review 2 stars because I'm sure it is a good magazine, but the publisher apparently has problems working with Amazon to get it to my house, so they are not scoring to high in my mind.
Beginner-friendly...seriously
I've been buying Runner's World off and on for years and everytime I pick up a copy, I never feel warded off the sport. I'm trying to train for a triathlon and everytime I pick up a magazine relating to triathlons in general, I feel like I'm the laziest ass on the planet. I'm not going to not do one because of this but it doesn't really help motivate a beginner. I love Runner's World because it's all-inclusive, for any level, for any age.
Excellent magazine
Being an infrequent runner and trying to get back into shape for the Baltimore marathon this year, Runner's World is indispensible.A number of the articles are encouraging and help me with training, diet, etc.The equipment reviews make me salivate (I wish I could afford one of the Garmin training watches), but in all it's a great magazine.I highly recommend it! ...

Great for new fashion followers, passe for insiders
Italian Vogue is very avant garde, and features the world's best photographers, models, and designers.But it's been exactly the same for like 13 years.It even got overplayed a few years back, as the only magazine carried around by top stylists.It's definitely worth a one year subscription, but you may want to reconsider renewing it.

One of the BEST fashion magazines out there.
In a previous review I slated the incredibly banal American Vogue, and recommended Italia.Thank God Amazon.com now offers subscriptions.Although this magazine is "a little bit more" it is worth its weight in gold.Even if you can't read Italian, the fashion spreads more than make up for it.It is everything American Vogue tries to be...stylish, cutting-edge, progressive.Who reads American Vogue anyway? - There's nothing to read in it!You won't regret buying this magazine. ...

Better Than the Rest
I like this better than the other Women magazines out there.I enjoy the pull out workout sheets and to me it has more useful information than Shape and Self.It is fairly new so it hasn't quite caught up to the Men's Health magazine but it is getting there fast.:)

Great Overall Women's Mag
I like this magazine so much better than Self and Shape. I have subscriptions to all three and only plan on renewing Women's Health.

Pump it up
This is a great concept.As a personal trainer I've seen far too many women suffer under the different ideas that people have about the way they should be.There are good articles in this magazine, articles that make good sense and are strong inputs to a fitness program.Now they need to dress it up.

rocks.
magazine rocks. i took french in high school and i'm in college now, so i keep up with my french by reading this magazine among others. the price is iffy [esp if you're a poor college kid like me], but the magazine is REALLY great--the photos and the artistic value is worth it alone.

For The Tops In Fashion, Plus Highly Collectible
French Vogue is a magazine which is published in french and is directed towards the people ofFrance, and anyone else who is interested in the tops in fashion, art, books, movies, as well as health, beauty, and fitness issues. Vogue is for the person who is either "In", who who wants to be. It is often heavy laden with photos and articles on celebrities, and contains the usual array of advertisements directed at the Jetset.
lovin' it
I don't speak a word of french,and I barely read it, but I love this magazine!!! If you love fashion, get a french dictionary,I did, this is a magazine to savor! I have every issue since Ms. Roitfeld took over and will keep them forever! This magazine is very sexy, modern, french, well edited, up to the minute, bold, well designed(Fabian Baron) intelligent, I could go on and on, I've seen/get all the rest, including Vogue Italia, this edition has all the best stylists, photogs, and editors, I can't wait for the next issue! ...

The Magazine Diva says.......
I suggested on my site to share the subscription price with a friend. This mag has a few good ideas but no exactly on the pulse of my life.

well rounded
I've been reading Glamour for the past three years and it has been a great magazine all around. Glamour covers topics on health, career, finances, sex, relationships, style, etc. Of all the magazines on the newsstands, this one is the most intelligent and savvy for women in their 20s and 30s. Yes there are too many ads like in most magazines, but that's how the media survives, they get their salary mostly from ads. I usually don't mind because I feel that its such a great magazine, that the ads are worth putting up with. I have felt that at times Cosmopolitan is a little too focused on sex and "please your man" articles.
Save your money for a different magazine
I started ordering Glamour 2 months ago, and honestly it is a huge disappointment to me. There are so many ads in this magazine its unbelievable. Ladies, my advice is to save your money for a different magazine..I dont recommend Glamour at all. ... Read more

a big change for the fashion industry is coming
I recieve different magazines over the course of a year. i don't know why. It simply happens that way.Marie Claire is a pleasant surprise.I found in the first issue I read, a group of writers, editors and all involved with this magazine, not just writing about issues, but being proactive.Everyone on the street in NYC in bikinis and whatever each individual felt comfortable with, to bring awareness to skin cancer.Really cool!Each issue has write ups on a certain amount of relevant international and national news for women and other sexes too.they are adding the right amount of consciousness to an otherwise totally fashion magazine which also i have found surprisingly refreshing and fun. Ace Job Marie Claire staff!!!

The Magazine Diva Says........
I enjoy Marie Claire but they could "step it up" a bit. Splurge vs. Steal probably sells their magazine for them. Often I notice repeat information, or feature products that appear in 4 other fashion magazines. More originality would be helpful. And it really pissed me off that the fengshui article was such a limited target market. (I'll still read next month's addition. I have to find out the best "steal"!)

A wonderful publication
I have always enjoyed Marie Claire. I don't know why I took so long to actually get a subscription. It's a well rounded magazine, and well suited for women who are younger and older. ... Read more

I thought I'd do without it
I thought, eh, Lucky magazine, i don't really need this anymore... so I broke it off. (I am a college student, so, I'm a little bit poor. Lol.)
The Magazine Diva says.......
Even if this magazine is a mag-a-log, what would we do without it? September issue rocks with Eva Mendes on the cover and some juicy fall finds inside. The biggest news? Lucky has found a way to shop with your cell while stuck in traffic. It's about time technology got up with our lifestyle!

I Love This Magazine!
This magazine single-handedly taught me how to dress with style- and believe me- that's no small feat. I love how Lucky showshow to put pieces together to look fabulous without mindlessly following the crowd. If that's all I had interest in, then I could've simply bought the Lucky shopping guide book.But their reviews of up and coming clothing and jewelry designers, hair, makeup, home decor, and the "How I'm Wired" sections keep me coming back to the magazine.Plus the Lucky Breaks are awesome.My only complaint is the average price of their featured raved-about items.What Lucky is for me is a fantastic template for fashion and style that I can use to find similar items at cheaper prices in stores like H&M, Target, etc.It's so worth the $12/year, and I look anxiously at the beginning of each month for its arrival in my mailbox. ...

Who dominos?
I've seen three issues of domino, (all free, thanks to the doctor's office - that's me, the frugal felon), and have found nothing to relate to. The spreads are homes of very wealthy people with extravagant taste and resources. Even so, I've never seen anything remotely appealing in the mag. Definitely not my style.(LOOK, she spelled 'definitely' correctly!)

The Best new home/gift resource
Great design for home decorators.Great resource for incorporating new ideas, old favorites, and a touch of the different.Resources are clearly identified with prices and ordering information--especially online.It's a new type of home decorating magazine.I love Home and Garden, but Domino is better for resources and ordering.

The Magazine Diva Says........
Domino is Better Homes and Gardens for the younger crowd. I like it very much. It's fresh, detailed, lots of photos for how-tos and where to find the goods. ... Read more

Lots of nudity
I purchased the Best of Beauty Magazine (Allure October 2006 issue) to see the list of best beauty products.The list was incomplete, so far I've noticed that they left out eye cream this time.Pictures had a lot of nudity so I wouldn't buy it any other month.

Allure is the Beauty expert
I've been subscribing to allure since late 2002, and have always gotten the best beauty advice from them. I love that they show bold and new ideas in makeup, with still options for natural beauty that any woman can use. There's not a topic they haven't covered as far as looking good. Each month, I'm always interested in seeing the new issue and what's in store with makeup, skincare, and fashion. I disagree with one reviewer who said seventeen was a better magazine, allure isn't for teens. I think of it more as a women for all ages magazine. I do think they could use the magazine as a beauty staple, since I'm sick of seeing the worst makeup ever on girls these days.

Great magazine, bad shipping.
I did not give five stars to this magazine, because I always receive it after it's on the newstands.Isn't one of the benefits of subscribing to a magazine, it's early arrival and the convenience of having it at home? ... Read more

Good Reading
If I had to pick just one women's magazine to subscribe to, "Good Housekeeping" would be the one. It has many of the same articles that all women's magazines have: articles on health, fitness, finance, relationships, diet, beauty, and fashion. But "Good Housekeeping" goes beyond the surface in these articles, for example, their fashion articles don't focus just on high-priced clothing, instead they show outfits that look like their expensive counterparts that readers can buy for just a fraction of the cost. There are also advice columnists on things like household hints, etiquette, and relationships. Each issue also has a short story. There's also the seemingly obligatory celebrity on the cover and interview inside each issue.
Just want one and this is it
I have received "ladies'magazines" for many years and keep coming back to GH. I am 57, single, have little reading time for pleasure and little interest in or time for walking through stores to keepup with products, new ideas, etc for women. I don't' even spend much time on the net for this information. I like GH's reputation for quality (GH Seal of Approval and assessment of products), the price (it requires ads to sell the magazine at this low price in today's market; GH passes some on to the customer by keeping the subscription cost low), and the timeliness and the variety of topics interesting women.And I enjoy the tidbits of celebrity information without excessively intimate details of their personal lives that have no impact on the reason I enjoy their performances/talent. It's the only "overall" magazine of this kind that addresses things I want to know about on a consistent basis without becoming the same every month, which is something I don't like about many other periodicals.I also enjoy the ads; otherwise, I would never know of foods, beauty aids, cooking techniques and equipment, fashions, shoes, books, etc.I look forward to getting my GH. When topics greatly interest me, I cut and file them. Also, when I finish with one while flying, I can always find another woman who is happy to take it on their flight.

Great magazine
I love this magazine and have just ordered a subscription for my daughter too.Very good value for the money.

Not what I expected
I was very disappointed in the magazine when I received it.The pages were cheap feeling, they were thin.The binding was not secure.I have to pinch the middle of the magazine together just to look at the pages or all the pages come out in clusters.

A Magazine to Share
I find the Woman's Day magazine a helpful source of information for myself, my family and my friends.As I go through the articles and information in the magazine, I note items of interest for my husband and I (we are retired seniors), and for my daughter who has two children.Since the news that my son and his wife are expecting, I also save information for them.I have tried some of the recipes and were very pleased.Thank you for putting out such a great magazine. ...

This magazine is GREAT, period.
I am 13, and I know I am young, but I am becoming curious of many different things and am changing in so many ways now. Seventeen is one of the magazines that really affects my life. This magazine is very resourceful and also fun. One thing to say, there isn't that much bad information that kids shouldn't be reading, but parents, I do advise that you review the magazine before letting your child read it. They have the fashion section, where not just one body type is included, but all body types and they have tons of different styles. They have great style tips too which I bet you'll like. They also have the beauty section which has tips on how to apply your makeup, and they have a wide variety of different makeup looks, so you're not stuck with the one look that has too much makeup on. They have the feature articles, which are both fun and informing. Time to time, they'll have an article on sex (just to say that to people who won't want to be reading that). They have many other things in the magazine like Tramarama which is embarassing stories, 17 Mission, which is an article that gets the attention of the reader to focus on everyday problems, like global warming or breast cancer. I hope you enjoyed this review as much as I love the magazine, but the only way you can really tell if you like the magazine is to just go check it out at your local grociery store or bookstore.

This Magazine is GREAT, period.
I am 13, and I have to say, I know I'm still a young child, but I am growing, and I am becoming curious about different things and am changing in so many ways. Seventeen is one of the magazines that actually makes a difference in my life. It is fun, but also informs me on many things that will eventually cover several aspects of my life. I don't recommend this magazine for anyone under 12 (Seventeen doesn't have that much innapropriate information for young teens. Parents, I do consider that you review Seventeen before you let your child read it. Seventeen does NOT focus too much on celebrities, even though they will have one or two sections in each issue relating to celebrities. They have the fashion section, which has tons of actually useful style tips and embrace ALL body types. The beauty section has great tips on how to apply your makeup, and they have different looks, so you don't only have one makeup look where they have a bunch of makeup and it is overpowering your face. There are lots of options. There are the feature articles, which are always fun to read (and informing). I definitley will continue subscribing to this magazine because I thoroughly enjoy it, and I hope that you will too. But, the only way to really know if you like it is to check it out at a your local grociery store or drugstore. It all comes out to YOUR opinion, not mine, but I hope you enjoyed this review.

A pretty girly magazine with potential to diversify
I was looking for a magazine to get a friend's teenage daughter who is at an age where she is interested in pop stars, beauty tips, fashion, celebrity news with a tasty bite, a bit of serious writing to make her think; after all she is at an age where she has to face the real world.

Another OK glossy magazine
On one level Elle is a lot better than Vogue, it has more in the way of intelligent articles but this can work against it because Elle is known for its fashion, the photography is pretty good (not as good as Vogue mind)and some of the fashion that Elle is advertisingcould be afforded by the ordinary woman in the street, which cannot be said for what Vogue puts on its glossy pages; I mean come on, how many of us can afford the top brand designer labels like Prada?Not many of us that is for sure!
Very unimpressed!
I found this magazine very unrealistic in terms of fashion (not clothing you would actually see people wearing on a daily basis and definitely not clothing that most people can afford).The whole magazine is one big ad.If I wanted that, I could just turn on the tv!

The Magazine Diva Says........
I can only give this magazine 3 stars in good conscience, but I still love it. Maybe it's the name, or fun covers they create, but I think this mag rox. I'm occasionally disappointed with the fashion layouts, but I appreciate the Numerology feature and no one else has it! ... Read more

it's average
I have been reading this magazine since 2001; that's when they had a better format.It's changed to being almost boring.After this year I won't buy it every week like I have for the past years.It had better and longer articles.

This one's a keeper!
There's a huge stack of back issues of Womans World in my bedroom. There's another large stack of them in the living room. Several times, I've promised myself to weed them out and get rid of the ones I no longer want. But every time I discover that every single one is still useful to me in some way. Now that's a darn good publication!

More than 5 Stars
This has been my favorite magazine since the day it was introduced. As a busy entrepreneur, my time is slim to none.I can grab this and read it from cover to cover in under 30 minutes.Then I can keep it around and refer back to it for great tips on everything. ... Read more

one big advertisement and full of nothing
Self what? The entire magazine now pushes product on every inch of every page. Their product placements went from "convenient and subtle" to obviously pandering to their revenue sources. Plus the stories and tips are so far out of reality that anyone over 25 with half of a brain couldn't relate. I once enjoyed Self and their monthly self-help plans. Their core message has gotten lost in the sea of product pushing.

My thoughts on SELF
I have subscribed to Self before, and it is a great magazine. The subscriptions are pretty cheap, so it's worth it. Some of the articles tend to be about the same things: losing weight, new beauty tips. they repeat over and over. if you are to buy ONE issue of self, get the October issue because the articles that they have on breast cancer awareness are always really touching.

My favorite
I just recently decided to subscribe to this mag. and that was only based on the low price. But it has really suprised me and I totally enjoy this magazine. It is definately my new favorite. Its got a lot of informative articles, unless other mags of its kind that don't have much reading in them. ... Read more
