cosmetics fridge 化妆冰箱

Fridges, long the preserve of the kitchen, are popping up in the bathroom. Designed in bijoux sizes of four-to-nine litres, and with temperatures ranging from 8C-12C, the cosmetics¹ fridge is the beauty world's equivalent of the jewellery box, helping² to store your most precious products.

长久以来作为厨房专属物的冰箱，如今已大量“进驻”浴室。设计成首饰盒大小（4-9升）、温度8-12度的化妆冰箱就好比美容界的首饰盒，里面装着自己最心爱的化妆品。

 

Miniature make-up coolers in Hello Kitty styles are already a big hit in South Korea, where the concept was developed, and you can get your own cowhide, cloud or polka-dot version shipped here through Ebay.

凯蒂猫风格的微型化妆冰箱如今在原创地韩国颇为风靡，消费者可以通过Ebay网购牛皮、云彩或是圆点花样等式样。

 

But while they may be easily justifiable³ in sweltering cities such as Seoul (melted make-up is no laughing matter, after all), their arrival in more temperate⁴ London signifies a new chapter in luxury fixtures⁵ and fittings.

尽管在首尔这样的闷热型城市，它们大行其道可谓“师出有名”（毕竟化妆品融化可不是闹着玩的事），但在气候较为温和的伦敦，它们的流行标志着奢侈品格局掀开了新的篇章。
