Glamour, which stormed into first place in the women's glossy market last time, posted a period-on-period increase of 3.3% to 537,474, a year-on-year jump of 23.1%.
Cosmo fell 1.5% period on period to 463,058, which was flat compared with the figure a year ago. Company climbed 5.8% on the period to 330,373, a year-on-year leap of 26.5%.
Neither title was affected by the recent scandal surrounding nine of The National Magazine Company's key titles, which saw the publisher have to restate last period's Audit Bureau of Circulation figures, which infringed strict rules on bulk copies.
Hachette Filipacchi has reaped the benefits of severing its joint venture with Emap and claiming Elle and Red as its own.
Red has published its highest circulation since it launched five years ago and will celebrate its birthday this month with an ABC of 192,005 -- a period on period jump of 4.7%, up 10.5% on last year. Elle is up 2.3% on last period to 212,505, a year-on-year increase of 0.8%.
IPC Media's In Style has also had a good six months since the publisher was handed the task of revitalising the magazine by its parent AOL Time Warner a year ago. In Style jumped 14.7% on last period to 175,245, a year-on-year increase of 15.9%, benefiting from a £1m investment in advertising and the appointment of Louise Chunn as editor.
Rival publisher Emap will be hoping that it can emulate In Style's success with New Woman, its only monthly glossy in this market following its fall out with Hachette.
New Woman posted a 2.9% period-on-period fall to 294,611, down 3.4% year on year. Yesterday the media group announced that it has appointed creative agency Hooper Galton as part of a multimillion-pound investment in editorial and advertising.
The BBC's Eve was up 1.7% on last period to 121,070, a year-on-year decline of 0.1%.
