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

4. Sabrina’s Secrets
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.
