Straight-talking, informative and smart, womanmagazine.co.uk is the home of this week’s biggest celebrity news stories and talking points. As well as bringing you the most interesting showbiz news, we pick stylish fashion for savvy shoppers, highlight the need-to-know beauty products, and share the secrets behind shocking celebrity weight loss stories.
Whether you want to know the REAL reason behind that break-up, where to find a dupe of THAT really expensive makeup palette you’ve been lusting after, or what recipe will satisfy the hankering you’ve had for flapjacks, we have you covered.
Our informative, practical approach means we give honest reviews of the products you want to (or need to!) know about. But we also answer the health and beauty questions that play on your mind. Dieting and weight loss is important to you, so it’s important to us, too. Here you’ll find practical, thoroughly researched features, presented in a no-nonsense way that will help you shed pounds the healthy way. We talk candidly about anti-ageing beauty treatments and what does (and doesn’t) work too.

Our talented writers have been selected because they know the showbiz world inside out, are experts on the most effective diets and are brilliant at tracking down the best fashion and beauty buys.
