11 magazines all Irish girls were obsessed with in the nineties

If it had free stuff… you wanted it.

ALL NINETIES KIDS will remember grabbing one of these when you were lucky enough to be taken on the big shop.

1. Smash Hits!

So many pop stars! So many stickers! They ended up everywhere, on our journals, school copies, and most importantly… our bedroom walls.

2. Mizz

Were you ever a teenage girl if you didn’t do a quiz in Mizz after flipping straight to the problem pages?

3. J-14

Free makeup and tips from Sabrina herself. What’s not to like?

5. Live and Kicking

You got up to watch the TV show every Saturday, so this accompanying magazine was a must-have.

6. Top of the Pops

Only for the free CDs, of course.

7. KISS

OK this one was more of a noughties offering, but it was a valued addition.

It was just like all the magazines you lusted after, only it actually had things you could get in Irish shops. RIP Kiss.

8. Just Seventeen

Er, why is Ronan Keating on all of these covers?

9. Make it Groovy

For those of you with an arts and crafty side. If only we all spent more time making magazine racks instead of reading about how much makeup boys wanted us to wear.

10. Sugar

Sugar was a bit like Mizz, only slightly racier. The real life stories would stay with you for weeks.

11. Shout

Can we say a bad word about Shout and their pages upon pages of lyrics? Ah, so THIS is what we did before the internet.
