Caviar Chic

  • The most expensive fish eggs in the world are becoming more accessible and showing up in some unlikely places. Petrossian, a luxe caviar-centric restaurant in Manhattan, is offering five caviar workshops at $135 a shot. Once a month, from September through January, participants will learn caviar basics, partake in cooking demonstrations and, of course, taste-test. While some foodies are getting their fill, others are purchasing the high-end treat and wearing it on their face. La Prairie's fall makeup line, Skin Caviar Concealer and Foundation ($150), is this season's self-indulgent must have. The concealer sits hidden in the cap of the foundation jar, and the attached mini-brush ensures smooth application. La Prairie also carries a Skin Caviar Luxe Cream ($300 for a 1.7-oz. jar or $550 for 3.4 oz.). Meanwhile, Chicago's Four Seasons hotel is offering a caviar facial treatment at its in-house spa. Guests have their faces smothered in a pricey mixture of caviar, pearl proteins and marine agents, and afterward they sip a little bubbly and nibble on a caviar canape. Book yourself a 30-min. treatment for $65, 50 min. for $110 or go full throttle for 80 min. at $155.
