Explosive storage for a make-up journal (6,8)
I believe the answer is:
powder magazine
'a make-up journal' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'explosive storage' is the wordplay.
'explosive' becomes 'powder' (powder is a kind of explosive).
'storage' becomes 'magazine' (magazine is a kind of storage).
'powder'+'magazine'='POWDER-MAGAZINE'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
