ShopSmart Magazine

Okay.  I have to admit it.  I have an addiction to ShopSmart Magazine, hence the word "shop" in the name.

ShopSmart Magazine, and I quote, is no hype, no ads, just great buys.  This magazine does not take advertisements or free samples because they are nonprofit.  What they do is spend millions of dollars a year and buy products off the shelves and test them in their labs.  It's a great magazine, and they always tell it like it is.

They will test everything from makeup and skincare products to automobiles and electronics.  In each category, they will list the losers and the winners and the best bargain buy.  They will also check out websites to see which ones are for real and which ones to stay away from, which ones have the greatest deals and which ones don't.

Here's an example.  In one of their issue, they compared and tested push-up bras.  They actually took before and after pictures of the testers.  Some of these bras claimed that they could add two cup sizes to your current cup size.  And yes, the Victoria's Secret Miraculous Push-Up Bra did live up to it's name.  The B-cup testers went to a D-cup.

I felt like I really had to share this magazine with you.  It's truly amazing all of the product testing they do.  From shoes, to wine, to potato chips, to labtops, to cleaners, to vacuums, to dog food...they test everything!!!   And their articles are so interesting and full of facts...from where to find great wall art to cleaning tips to how to get great fit and avoid shoes that look and feel cheap.

It's a great magazine.

Enjoy your day!!
