Allure Magazine is a publication that helps women “Keep up With the Latest Fashions” and most love it for that reason.

Allure Magazine is for the savvy woman who wants to be in the know.

As a subscriber I receive my bible every month, for that's what Allure Magazine is to me.  It keeps me up to date on what the latest fashions are and what the best beauty products are.

Allure Magazine has great fashion ideas.  It informs...

Quick View: Allure Magazine is like a thick, slick advertisement for everything beauty and fashion. It is for real fashion and beauty addicts - like me. Just about every other page is an ad for something that we addicts just have to have. Still, it's a fun fluffy read and does keep women up on trends... read full review »

If you are wanting a magazine that provides strictly fashion and beauty advice with not a lot of extra fluff and reading to do, here is your magazine.  I have a subscription to Allure along with several other beauty magazines.  Like I said before, there is not a lot of reading to do but it's definitely one of the best magazines to flip through and check out quick tips and new products.  I don't like Allure as well as Glamour.  But it is probably one of my top 3 favorite Fashion/Beauty magazines.

This is my favorite magazine and I subscribe to at least a dozen! Many magazines seem to always push whatever products they are also running advertisements for, but not Allure. They present all of the cutting edge products and the science behind them. The articles are well-written, creative, and very different from the other magazines. I trust products recommended by Allure and their readers much more than those of other magazines. I literally take the magazine to the store with me to help me shop!

     Allure is a magazine that works.  It works because it takes its reader on a flight of fantasy and glamour. 

     For many years, I noticed the seductive and dramatic covers of Allure magazine looking out from magazine racks.  Yet, I rarely chose to pick up a copy.  I always expected it to be shallow and perhaps even a little bit obscene.  When I finally decided to pick up a copy, I was surprised to find I thoroughly enjoyed it.  Allure is edgy, without falling off the edge.  Its photography is creative and a bit surreal.  And the choice of features is sometimes unique, sometimes...

Allure magazine is the definitive beauty source - no other magazine gives in-depth and the most current news about beauty products.  Most magazines have a small sections devoted to the beauty scene but are mostly concerned with  fashion and articles of, to me, useless info.  I am a beauty professional and this is a subscription that I will forever keep - it gives me a quick resource to new products and more importantly - products that I know my clients are going to hear about/see and want to know more about and hopefully buy!! 

The only beef I have, and I have written to the editor is that...

I'm not sure any more how long Allure has been in publication....but it's been a while! I've been with them just about the entire time. I can count on Allure to give me up to date fashion and beauty advice and tell me of new products that I would otherwise never know about. I live in a small town where there is little shopping...my high end purchases are usually ordered from Sephora - after I read about them in Allure, of course. I love the contests Allure has every month. Hundreds of giveaways - I've actually won a few! There were a few issues some years ago that included several samples of...

Allure is one magazine that I cannot wait to receive in the mail. Although it's a simple read, and you will hardly find anything of "substance", that is the reason why I read allure. If I want hard-hitting substance or something serious, I will turn on the news or read a book. Allure is fashion magazine and thus is meant to be fun. It is full of advice on the latest beauty, fashion and accessory trends and how to pull them off successfully. It is meant for women over 17 or 18 and unlike Vogue or Instyle, where every item featured is a brand most cannot afford, allure features mostly items... read full review »

This magazine is great for beauty but not much for fashion. i am a fashion design major and you will not find much information on what fashions are in or out or how a certain style would look on you.But if your more of a beauty junkie then i would definitely recommend this to you. they have these great directories in every issue that tells you the best spas, salons, or boutiques in  your area. I enjoy reading their articles on the celebrity of the moment and this magazine has more substance than you would think.

This is my favorite magazine and that is saying a lot because I subscribe to almost every fashion magazine there is. It has great pictures, wonderful tips, and is always up to date on the latest trends, findings, celebrities. I also think this magazibne is innovative. They were the first to introduce the "real person" series make-over/weight loss. I enjoy the articles on celebrities where they comment on old pictures of themselves. Cant wait for my next issue!

Allure is a great magazine for women of all ages.  Every issue is filled to the brim with information on the latest cosmetics, hair products, shoes and clothes.  It's my go to when I want information regarding the latest on facial products.  I read each issue cover to cover then pass it on to my daughter.  It's the magazine I read as soon as I get it and I will never let my subscription expire.

Ok let me say that I read and read often...I have many subscriptions to magazines. I read an allure magazine and was surprised at the ads and the content that is being read by young females. It is a sad commentary on our society to have gargbage out there readily available in grocery stores at check out counters. I will not recommend this magazine nor will I purchase it ever again.

This is a good magazine to catch up on the new trends! Make-up is a huge thing in this magazine. I have learned though, that they dont exactly show you or give real instructions on how to do so. But they show a lot of great pictures. They feature a lot of the stars that i personally like on the cover. You must be a trendy person to like this magazine.

This magaizine is focused on the look of its clientel and it doesnt disappoint. Like alot of other magazines geared toward's women, they all tend to cover the same topics. Glamour does a descent job of trying to bring in articles that differ some from other woman's magazine. Its an entertaining magazine that is fun to read.

I love this magazine. this is very inexpensive if you subscribe to it. The one thing i really lvoe about it is all the reviews that you can find on beauty products. i always find myself buried into this magazine and reading it over and over. plus if you do subscribe to it you can sometimes get lucky magazine as a bonus.
