W Magazine, the most recently cover of which features Angelina Jolie nursing one of her twins, is one of the most eye catching print publications on news stands.

W Magazines manages to generate attention through their cover images alone, rarely needing to rely on catchy titles.

Walking past a good magazine cover can easily create the urge for an impulse buy. Despite prices between $5 and $15, publications like W Magazine are snapped up by people who don’t mind shelling out for these mini splurges.

This slideshow highlights some of the magazine covers which have generated buzz over the last few years.
