I should probably mention that I don't personally subscribe to all the titles I read; a decent number are passed along from my mom and my sister in Ohio. Between the three of us, the magazine industry should be just fine...
Today, I finished the Fall 2010 InStyle Makeover (one of my sister's cache), but it was a bit of a disappointment. So glad I didn't pay to buy this! Okay to flip through, but not much material of any relevance to me. I only noted a couple of pages:
#1. I tore out pics of three dresses that caught my eye, but when I looked them up online, not one of them was available on the websites listed in the articles. Already sold out?! Not available yet? It’s a mystery!
#2. Ulta seemed to be the sole advertiser for this copy, but there were several free sample offers of the advertised products. I already had a trip to Ulta scheduled for this weekend, so I'll try to find out if these samples are actually being given out.
#3. There was one interesting article about the best hair cuts based on the shape of your face (similar article here). I'm about ready for a haircut, and according to this article my face is heart shaped, but none of the recommended haircuts appealed to me. Bangs – no way!!
Luckily, I was able to read a couple of articles in National Geographic at lunch, so the day wasn’t a complete bust!
