00:00 I'm wrong?
00:01 [gasps]
00:02 See?
00:04 I'm liking the cheaper foods already.
00:05 Hi, I'm Alex Earl,
00:06 and I'm playing Expensive Taste Test with Cosmo.
00:09 [upbeat music]
00:11 I think I have expensive taste,
00:13 but I don't always necessarily prefer the expensive thing.
00:17 So we'll see.
00:18 We'll see what's going on here.
00:20 [upbeat music]
00:22 Makeup brushes.
00:27 These are something that I use daily.
00:29 They both have silver tops.
00:31 This one has a dark royal blue bottom.
00:36 I don't even know though, sometimes I'm colorblind.
00:38 This one's very soft.
00:39 Good thickness to it.
00:41 I don't know, this feels good.
00:44 I like this one.
00:45 This one is skinnier.
00:48 It has a glass bottom.
00:50 This one's also very soft, but it's a little bit thinner.
00:53 Like the other one didn't bounce as much.
00:55 This one has a little bit more bounce to it.
00:57 This feels pretty good though, putting it on,
00:59 'cause the bristles like kind of spread out
01:01 a little bit more.
01:02 I think I'm making everything up that I'm saying.
01:04 [laughs]
01:05 I'm gonna say that this makeup brush is more expensive.
01:08 [bell dings]
01:10 [bell dings]
01:11 Woo!
01:12 It's all in the details, girls!
01:15 [upbeat music]
01:18 Oh boy, okay.
01:22 Bagels.
01:23 I'm from Jersey.
01:24 Jersey, New York bagels, they're better than most.
01:27 So I have to get this one right.
01:28 Right off the bat, this one's very soft.
01:31 There's no hole in the middle of it.
01:33 This one's like almost reminding me of a roll.
01:36 Okay, let's rip them open.
01:38 Good rip.
01:42 This is good.
01:50 It definitely tastes like raw pizza dough.
01:53 This one's taking on more of like a little bit
01:54 of a square shape.
01:56 This one has a hole.
01:58 The outside seems a little bit more maybe like toasted.
02:02 Let's see the rip on this one.
02:04 Okay, I think this one was a little bit like stretchier
02:11 upon the rip.
02:13 We're gonna go in for a bite.
02:14 It tastes less doughy.
02:19 Like this one just tastes a little bit fresher to me.
02:23 I'm going with this bagel on my left as the more expensive.
02:28 I'm wrong?
02:32 See?
02:35 I'm liking the cheaper foods already.
02:36 Whatever.
02:37 You don't even need to tell me what this is.
02:44 I can already smell it.
02:45 It's tequila.
02:46 This is gonna bring me back scaries from the weekend.
02:51 Okay, tequila always has like a very distinct smell.
02:54 It's haunting, you know, you know that's there.
02:57 This one has more of a piercing scent.
03:01 I don't know if that's gonna mean it's better or worse,
03:04 but I smell this one and it's, woo.
03:06 I guess we're gonna try it.
03:08 Woo.
03:09 I didn't know we were drinking today.
03:11 It's not too tequila-y.
03:19 Like tequila has a very specific like stench.
03:24 I don't know, but sometimes that might mean
03:26 it's more expensive.
03:27 I'm gonna give it another sip.
03:29 Okay, this one is tasting pretty good.
03:37 I don't know.
03:38 I'm liking what's going on over here.
03:41 Let's move on to this glass.
03:47 Okay, this one's got a lot more like tequila going on.
03:50 I don't need to go for a second sip of that.
03:52 Does that mean it's more expensive?
03:54 I don't know.
03:55 You know what?
03:56 I think this one is more expensive.
03:58 - Like really not more expensive, way cheaper.
04:08 - Okay.
04:14 Here we have two green juices.
04:17 This is gonna help wash down my tequila that I just drank.
04:20 This one's a lot darker.
04:23 This one's a more muted green
04:26 and this one has fizz at the top.
04:28 This one is lacking on the ring.
04:31 It smells very healthy.
04:35 Ooh, this smells sweeter, but with a green juice,
04:42 I'm feeling like the nastier it is,
04:44 the better.
04:46 So let's see.
04:46 It's like giving my grass.
04:51 This tastes like apple juice.
04:58 This one's delicious.
05:00 I'm gonna say that this one is more expensive.
05:02 Do I know anything?
05:07 No.
05:08 Okay.
05:09 [upbeat music]
05:12 Here we have two pairs of pooped earrings.
05:19 This one might be a little tricky for me.
05:20 Okay, these are gold.
05:21 These are silvery gold.
05:24 We're gonna give these ones an in-depth examination here.
05:28 The backing to this is pretty thick.
05:31 Feels pretty good.
05:32 Got a good grasp on the earring.
05:34 Sometimes I feel like the backings will just slide right off.
05:37 Let's see the comparison.
05:38 So these have a backing that just flattens down
05:41 into the back part.
05:42 These are definitely heavier, and these are bigger.
05:45 I feel like this is made to trick me, though.
05:49 You know what?
05:53 I'm just gonna go with my gut.
05:55 It didn't work out last time,
05:56 but I think that the smaller ones are more expensive.
06:00 [buzzer]
06:07 I'm wrong!
06:08 What?
06:11 All right, maybe I should just start picking
06:12 the opposite of what I think from now on.
06:14 I'm putting on brow gel like every day,
06:22 so I should get this one right.
06:24 This is like a nice rose gold packaging.
06:28 I always think rose gold are nice.
06:29 This one we just have black.
06:31 This one's a little bit thicker.
06:32 We're gonna look what's on the inside.
06:37 I'm trying to see if there's any sticky stuff coming up.
06:40 I'm gonna try these on.
06:41 I'm trying to see if I can feel suction to my face.
06:46 I'm going back to the black one.
06:50 Ooh, we got a little goop there.
06:53 See that?
06:55 I feel like the goop is good.
06:58 You wanna glue down your brows.
06:59 And this brush is a lot smaller.
07:01 We're gonna try this one out.
07:03 I have no idea where I'm putting this right now.
07:08 I also have to remember that I put this on this brow
07:11 and this on this brow.
07:13 This one feels like pretty nice though.
07:16 This one feels a little bit harder.
07:18 After taking time to examine,
07:21 I think that it is this one.
07:26 I'm correct.
07:31 Really deep down I almost thought it was this one,
07:34 but I just knew I'm always wrong,
07:36 so look at that little reverse psychology here.
07:40 Two bikini tops.
07:47 This one has a lot more color pattern going on.
07:51 So this has a wiring at the bottom.
07:53 This material feels thicker for sure.
07:55 Let's look at the clasps.
07:57 These clasps, you take them apart like this
08:00 and click them back together.
08:01 Okay, that was a pretty good click.
08:03 Okay, same here.
08:05 Neither of the backings of these are giving me a problem.
08:07 This one's definitely thinner.
08:09 I wanna say that this one's more expensive
08:12 just because it's giving more non-bikini.
08:15 I'm gonna say this one.
08:16 Correct, woo!
08:20 Ooh, okay.
08:28 We have two face serums.
08:30 I've recently invested in a good face serum
08:33 that I've been loving.
08:35 It's the Beauty Sandwich Face Serum,
08:37 and it is so insanely expensive.
08:39 It's so ridiculous, so I feel like I'm gonna try
08:42 and see what feels, looks similar.
08:45 This one has a cap.
08:47 Let's test them out.
08:48 This has a pretty neutral color.
08:52 We're gonna rub it into my hand.
08:53 See how shiny my hand is?
08:57 I feel like that's pretty good.
08:58 Okay, this one just smells like the face serum
09:02 that I've been using, which is making me think
09:04 it's got some similar ingredient.
09:06 On to serum number two.
09:08 This has one of those lids where you can start and stop it.
09:11 Ooh, see this one, this pump dished out a lot.
09:16 Rubbing this one in.
09:17 This is very shiny as well.
09:19 This reminds me of some type of bathroom cleaner
09:25 that I've used, like the smell of citrusy something.
09:28 I'm gonna go with my gut on this one,
09:33 and I think that this bottle is more expensive.
09:37 I'm right?
09:42 Oh my gosh, okay, there we go.
09:44 I did a little worse than I thought.
09:46 I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed in myself,
09:48 but I said in the beginning,
09:49 sometimes I prefer the cheaper stuff.
09:51 Thank you guys for watching.
09:53 Tune into my podcast, Hot Mess.
09:55 Bye.
