Product Description
Marie Claire offers solutions for the woman whose time constraints demand one resource to respond to diverse aspects of her life. From global and cultural issues to fashion and beauty coverage, Marie Claire is for the woman of substance with an eye for style.
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

 Be careful with your subscription. Customer Service number is 1-800-888-2665. September 2, 2010

If I could give zero stars for Hearst Magazine's audacity in ripping off subscribers I would. But that's not exactly fair to the editorial staff who put together a lovely magazine, so I'll default to giving two stars: 3.5 stars for the magazine content, 0.5 for the company's policies and customer service.
The long story: I ordered two magazines from HM Aug. 4 with the understanding the first issues, September issues, would take "4 to 6 weeks" for delivery-- that would place it sometime between Sep 1 and Sep 15. Sep 2 I received an outdated issue of one of the magazines, and when I went online to check the status of my Marie Claire subscription I saw it would not begin until October. Disappointing! The reason I subscribed in the first place was largely to get the September fall fashion issue. It was also confusing because I ordered both magazines at the same time and they had identical estimated due dates.
I discovered it impossible to contact Heart's customer service department from their website, unless I wanted to pay for a long distance call. Shame on them for placing the burden upon the customer for rectifying their error. The "email us" link was broken (with an "invalid code" message followed by programming language. Yes, I set my computer to accept cookies and tried again a few times.) I googled and, luckily, discovered a third party website that lists toll-free customer service numbers and reviewers' experiences dealing with the companies.
Upon calling, the customer service agent was able to credit my account for the outdated magazine, but said I would not receive the Sep issue of Marie Claire at all. He explained that if the subscription is received after a certain cut-off point, the subscription begins with the following issue. I asked him to pass along to his superiors that I am disappointed because I was not informed of this key point when I bought the subscription. I also asked him to pass along that HM should post their 800# so that customers can contact them toll-free when, on a day such as today, their email link is broken. It is as if they are making contacting CS as difficult for the customer as possible. He replied, "that's the first I've heard 'the email link is broken'" in a tone suggesting he didn't believe me.
You know, I had made and attempt to be pleasant; it's not the CS's fault that these things happened, I was just asking him to pass along my feedback. He sighed and in an annoyed tone of voice said he would pass it along. The credit I give them is for going ahead and taking the outdated issue off of my account. The rest of the experience was a completely disappointing. I loath when companies default to screwing over the customer and place the onus upon the customer to notice it and fix it.
The other two magazine I ordered at the same time, from another publisher, had similar problems with one missing issue and one outdated issue. But in contrast to HM, their CS telephone number was inside the magazine and the CS agent was quick and pleasant about amending my account.
As far as the magazine itself, I think their take on fashion is a little fresher and more youthful than other fashion mags. I enjoy their art direction and styling. Their cosmetics and skincare bits contain products that are of interest to me. I quite like that their articles include examinations of women's, global and human rights issues. It's always a fun moment away from the hubbub of the work-a-day world to cruise through Marie Claire.
 Great Magazine August 26, 2010

This magazine is very HUGE but worth the pocket money. It is highly affordable and a joy to read. Yes, there are a lot of ads but there is a lot of information in there too. Lots of great tips, stories, pictures, fashion advice, dating advice, some gossip, tips on makeup etc. Overall, it is a great magazine for the younger to older adult crowd. I really enjoy reading this magazine by the pool too. It is very interesting and addicting! I really enjoy it and will subscribe to it again when my time is up.

Not much you can say for a magazine. Order on 6/19/2010 did not get the magazine until 8-1-2010.
In the end it came. Just beware that it takes 4-10 weeks before you get your magazine.

Phenomenal deal for 2 yr subscription! July 23, 2010

Marie Claire is a fantastic magazine full of fashion, style, beauty, and tips. I really like the investigative articles. Last month the magazine had an excellent piece regarding Honor Killings in America. The article was investigative and poignant. I have subscribed to Marie Claire for the past year. I just received a subscription renewal from the magazine today. I decided to shop around to see if there was a better deal. The magazine offered 12 mths for 10.00 or 24 mths for 18.00. I found 24 mths for 12.00 plus 5.00 off the subscription through a special on Amazon. Thus, 7.00 for 24mths! It doesn't get better than that. I very pleased with this deal offered thru Amazon!
