Hong Kong Beauty and Style Magazines!

So.....I've decided that its rediculous to keep buying UK magazines at double, but usually triple, the price here in Hong Kong, and I hate it that things I like in them, I can't get here.  So, I thought I'd get Hong Kong beauty and style magazines at a fraction of the price with products that I can actually get hold of easily.......BUT, now I'm even more frustrated as I want to read the reviews etc and I can't read chinese!!
How hard is it to learn how to read chinese??.....
