...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.

...Cinemax: all the drama plus cursing, nudity and an innovative, nonmilitary use of an infrared camera. But it's better than The Real World because the drama is compressed and simplified. You don't have to film an argument about who stuck a finger in the peanut-butter jar when there's a constant stream of teens hooking up poolside...
