Rating  - It's all about makeup and beauty stuff - I love it !!
In the early 90's - I remember getting some sort of ad or reading that a new magazine was coming out that was about makeup ONLY. I immediately got a subscription - sight unseen and have been a loyal subscriber since Day 1. This magazine talks about makeup - procedures, and some celeb and not-so-celeb interviews. That's it and I love it. I got turned off of Cosmo - how many ways to trap and screw your man got way old. Allure goes to great lengths to review all sorts of products both expensive and cheap and I love it. My fave is the review of favorite products that are high, medium and low. I will be a subscriber forever!!
Rating  - Hoping to see a change!
I used to have a problem with Allure magazine because of the way they featured fur so regularly. Once they had a special "insert" or something that was filled with photos of rap and other music "stars" wearing fur, fur, and more fur. I actually cancelled my subscription back then. I'm hoping now that they seem to be a bit more "grown-up" and may have grown with the times and matured, that I might find more eco-consciousness and a conscience. I understand that the magazines have to pander to cosmetics and fashion companies, but it's not necessary to go overboard. *Update* Just received the latest issue, and again, seeing more fur. I don't think I'll renew my subscription next year. Allure -- GET A CLUE.
Rating  - 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.
Rating - 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.
