Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Sex, romance, shoes, lingerie, diet, guns, war--Marie Claire is a grab bag of hot issues for the modern woman. Combining a powerful feature on gun control laws with an article on the best lingerie to wear with low-slung jeans, Marie Claire proves that beauty magazines need not be all fluff and no substance. It provides one-stop shopping for the Cosmo woman craving a little more from her fashion magazine--the kind of woman who can talk politics while painting her nails and solving her relationship woes, all while on the treadmill. Yet for all its attempts to become a jill of all trades, Marie Claire remains a powerhouse in one field: beauty. From the hottest lip or polish color to the latest haircut, from the best tools of the trade to the must-have scent of the year, Marie Claire remains unsurpassed as the best source for beauty advice, and those pages alone are worth the cover price. --Daphne Durham

I love this mag. It is a compilation of all things relevant to the modern muse. It has relateable fashion, hair and makeup articles that can actually be utilized in the real world, always an enlightening article on a female issue somewhere in the world, as well as other pertinent articles. I am still Old School and actually enjoy holding a real mag, while I peruse over a warm beverage or glass of wine. Yup, I still tear pages out to refer back to. If you are looking for an all around great mag with various content, this is your baby.

I love this magazine. I am able to get it a such a low cost and that is wonderful for me. I tried it for 6 months and loved it for the style it has. I can see what the latest styles are and how to wear them. That way I do not look like a fool and I can still look up to date. Thank you Amazon

Disappointed

Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2010

I'm disappointed with the new direction that Marie Claire has taken. I remember reading this magazine just a few years ago, and it was full of fashion advice that I could actually use.

Not anymore. I suspect it's fashion director Nina Garcia's fault, but unless you are the kind of person who can drop $650 on a sweater or a couple thousand bucks on a dress, there isn't a whole lot in this magazine that you can use, nor is there very much that you would actually WANT to use. For example, my latest issue highlights floor-length tulle skirts paired with denim jackets. Where am I supposed to wear that? The "101 Ideas" section in the front is full of very pricey designer clothes; many items are so expensive that the caption simply reads, "Price Available on Request." Seriously, how useful is this for the majority of Marie Claire's readers? Marie Claire focuses on clothes you could probably never afford, with only a few "bargains" thrown in.

Marie Claire has turned into a snobby, useless imitation of Vogue/Elle. Its editors need to revisit the old axiom "know your audience." I will definitely not renew my subscription. If it had cost more than five bucks, I would be very angry that I had wasted my money.

Things I like:

101 Ideas - some great ideas for my mood board, but definitely most items out of my price range as another reviewer noted.
Beauty section - Love hearing about new products, especially the Beauty Passport feature.
Books section - Picked up some great books based on these write ups.

What I don't like:

Bathroom Confidential - no thanks.
Always some scary facts about aging and info on all the new (expensive) procedures required to halt aging, literally this is in every issue.
No one over the age of 25 in the "What I Love About Me" section. What, no 40 year old's live in America? Or maybe they just don't love anything about themselves?
Issue always turns up at least 10 days after its available in store. ALWAYS! Why subscribe??!!

It is more than a magazine. A work of art, truly progressing to a new level each year; a touch of class which reminds each and every woman she is worthy. It allows you to think of those forbitten questions hidden away but solving the mysteries of every possible topic. Marie Claire is a right of passage for every young woman.

No problem with services, but the magazine is just okay

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2011

Verified Purchase

I had no problems with the amazon magazine subscription services. I bought this when it was $5 for a year and I was looking for a new women's magazine. It's not a bad buy for $5 but I'm not sure I would pay anything more for a year of Marie Claire. It's not as strong as other women's magazines. It has potential and it was genius of MC to hook up with Project Runway (that is why I bought it). But... frankly, Nina Garcia's fashion editing is not great. The fashion layouts in the first issue I received might have been the ugliest clothes I have ever seen. I was looking at outfits featured in her spreads thinking, "If a designer did this on PR, they would be torn apart." I do like the focus on some world issues. Additionally, as a slightly bigger girl (i.e. a size 14 instead of a 2, which I don't think is huge at all, but in fashion it is!) I do appreciate the "Big Girl in a Skinny World" column. But I wish they wouldn't confine curvy girls to one little page. Glamour does a MUCH better job at incorporating curvy women throughout the entire magazine. Marie Claire makes me feel like I only deserve to be featured in one column. I worry that some of the models they choose for their magazine are not accurate representations of the majority of women. If you are looking for a well-rounded women's magazine I'd go with Glamour or Real Simple instead.

Nearly Perfect

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2011

I got this subscription because of its shockingly low price and because I wanted to simply have something that gave me ideas for my wardrobe and gave me new insights. This completely fullfilled what I wanted. While the fashions displayed are a above my price range the magazine puts good ideas together and has interesting stories and interviews. I just wished it was longer or that they published bi-monthly.
