Wonder gadget
What could $9,200 buy you? The word “oven” wouldn’t come to mind first, but Miele’s new steam oven with microwave is no ordinary oven. As the name suggests, it combines two space-hogging appliances into one sleek, built-in unit, and features the German brand’s innovative steaming technologies that cook food better, and healthier. It also does all the hard work – the automatic menu cooking function cooks three different dishes at the same time, and even tells you when to place each dish in the oven so they’ll be ready together. See this wonder for yourself at the Miele Boutique, 167 Penang Road, #B1-01 Winsland House II, or visit www.miele.sg.
Perfectly you
Did you know that there about 7,000 different skin tones in the world? Now you understand why finding the perfect shade of foundation is such a frustrating affair. The Body Shop has come up with a smart solution with its new Shade Adjusting Drops.
If your formula is too dark or orange, use the Lightening Drops (one drop makes it half a shade lighter). Conversely, the Darkening Drops counter foundation that’s too light or ashy. Each costs $29.90. And while you’re there, check out the brand’s new Fresh Nude Foundation ($32.90), which doesn’t clog pores and is good for sensitive skin. Visit http://www.thebodyshop.com.sg/en/
