Lucky Magazine Review Summary

Launched in 2001, Lucky Magazine is the fashion and trend-setting maven's delight. "Lucky Magazine is the only magazine devoted exclusively to shopping and style." For twelve dollars a year you get a big, thick magazine that " makes fashion and beauty fun and accessible for everyone, showcasing what to wear and how to wear it." Those who like its glossy content and articles say "This magazine has a lot to offer the beauty/fashion diva's in all of us" However, there are those who view the magazine as a huge showcase for advertising, saying, "There is very little substance in Lucky Magazine and I would not subscribe to it again. This is one of those publications that is fun to leaf through while wasting time at the doctor's office but not one you would sit down with and try to read. Because there is very little TO read." Most reviewers enjoyed Lucky, but a few felt it was a little shallow, with more advertising than substance.

Somehow I received a free subscription to Lucky magazine.  I'd never heard of this magazine and was hesitant to open it because most fashion/beauty magazines are geared toward Hollywood and the high prices that they eagerly seem to pay.  I really ended up liking this magazine.  I brought it on the...

I bought my sister and I a subscription to Lucky Magazine. I am very into beauty, trends, clothes, and all the latest styles. She isn't. But I wanted her to be.

I had never really read Lucky Magazine before but it seemed like the type of mag I would enjoy.

Well, I am still trying to find the actual ARTICLES...

Lucky is very hit or miss when it comes to fashion advice that most women can use. I find lucky most helpful for looking at individual items so I can pick what trends I like this season. I'm a hard core shopper. If you think of shopping as more of a hobby than a chore lucky is a useful reference. I really like the luckymagrewards.com feature. This rebate program gives you a percentage back in the form of visa gift card. If you do allot of on-line you can earn enough rebates to more than pay for the subscibtion.

For those of you that love to shop and keep in the know on the latest fashion trends, Lucky magazine is perfect for you.  The pages are filled with numerous items of the latest fashion fads, all the way from the newest color stilletos, to the Coach handbags.  I love to browse a lot when I shop, so this magazine lets me do that from the comforts of my home.  I love the fashion must have sections because it keeps me up to date on the latest fashion trends and features clothes and accessories for every budget.  The best part is that not only do you get to know the price of the items, but you also... review »

I received this magazine subscription as a gift and though I like Fashion & Beauty as much as the next girl, nothing in this magazine is entertaining to a single woman living on a budget.  If you are in the fashion industry, have a large disposable income, or an heiress, you may possibly be able to see something in Lucky and be able to purchase something you see in this magazine (probably online).  Even if I did have money to blow on a $300 top, I would have to purchase it online and would not have the luxury of going to the store to try on the top because the closest U.S shopping mecca to where... review »

I love this magazine.  Especially the stickers inside every issue that allow me to flag pages and remind me what I want to buy.  Every magazine should have those.  I can't tell you how often I mark articles and then forget to go back and look up websites or order a dress I saw on a celeb. 

And most of the clothes are affordable too so I don't have to feel bad after reading it that I can't purchase anything I saw.  I also like that the clothes are trendy but wearable.  So often I see cute items in magazines but wonder, where will I wear that in day to day life?  They are also season appropriate...

This is a glitzy and  great looking magazine. I acquired my subscription to Lucky Magazine  for free and was not familiar with it when I chose the title. I've started giving all of my copies to my 21 year old niece, as this is a magazine for the very fashionable and very young. Some fashion magazines can be read by older readers but I don't think Lucky is one of them. I do love that they have some great contests every month, such as winning the cover look. I won't renew my subscription but I'd purchase it as a gift for someone in their teens or twenties. Yes, there are lots of fashion ads, but... review »

If you want a magazine with a bunch of articles this is definitely not the magazine for you. This magazine is geared more for the fashion loving individual. I first stumble on this magazine at a friends house and I haven't been able to put it down. I love to see what the latest fashion trend happens to be at the moment and this magazine provides me with everything. It has a lot of ads but I mean its not bad because it's not intended to be a literary magazine. Its about fashion and trends and that is what it provides you with.

Lucky Magazine is fabulous. It is like my monthly quick fashion fix. Sure I read other magazines for there great articles and editorials about powerful women or world crises but Lucky... Lucky is an asbolute indulgence. Forget reading. I just rumage through the pages as quickly as possible. I can't get enough. Every issue leaves me wanting more. It is the magazine for shopping. Each issue features a city and fabulous boutiques that can be found there. They have all the latest trends, forcasts, and must haves.

I love to read - books, magazines, etc. I subscribe to LUCKY but am considering cancelling. What I do to every magazine is tear out every ad before I read it because between the ads and the subscription cards I find that I lose my patience and interest. I kid you not, there's maybe less than 10 pages in every issue with decent content. If you're looking for fluff, then this is your magazine - that is, if you don't mind wading through all of the ads before you get to the actual pieces worth reading.

I like this magazine for a quick read about what the latest trends are and where to find them. The layout is great and easy to read. I like how they mix high end/expensive items with affordable ones. It's nice to look through a magazine and see things that you can actually afford to buy. There is very few articles and little substance to the mag. It is mostly pictures. You can read this magazine from beginning to end in about 10 minutes.

Lucky Mag is good at giving you lemmings. I've noticed a general improved sense of style with time: yay. There's great information on new shops, designers, products, etc, as well as coupons/codes for shopping. If enjoy shopping for clothes, beauty products, and fun home things like a hobby, this magazine is perfect. However, if you shop for necessity or a recovering shopoholic, this is not the best thing to have around.

This magazine is great help in following trends, where to get these trends, how to wear them in real life and provides other great tips. A must for any hard-core shopper!

My favorite part about the magazine is you can go online and chat with the other "Lucky" girls on the message boards--get some tips and advice there and shop through the Lucky Magazine website to get good deals on clothing, etc.

I love Lucky!  It's like window shopping without leaving the house.  It gives me great ideas for new ways to wear what's already in my closet, gives me inspiration for new looks, and has enlivened my formerly dull uniform-like work-wear.  I've gotten so many great gift ideas from the pages of Lucky.  If I can't shop, I look to Lucky for ways to make what is old new again!

Lucky is a great mag, especially if you shop online, they give you many websites if you do not have the stores in your neighborhood. It is also a great mag if you do not have much style and are looking for clothes that are in fashion. This mag provides step by step looks and trends that can be worn by anyone, they provide you with day and evening where, and what to wear on special occasions.
