From minimalist makeup tips to quizzes on Taylor Swift, Girl’s Life has something for every teen’s area of interest. Notable articles within this issue include tips and tricks for maintaining your skin’s health, on loving one’s natural hair, and tips for overthinkers. There is also a detailed article on crush etiquette, including a quiz on the kind of crush you may have. 

With its interactive content and relevance to a teen audience, this magazine might be perfect for those looking for articles on beauty, romance, pop culture, etc. This content is very limited by its heavy focus on advertisements which may or may not affect the sincerity of some articles.

I don’t read enjoy reading magazines, so I may be overly harsh. However, it just seemed simultaneously boring and overdone throughout the issue.
