00:00Reverb?
00:03This is the strangest social experiment.
00:11Fifteen people!
00:13Hi guys, this is Dove Cameron and I'm playing Expensive Taste Test with Cosmo.
00:21I think I'm going to be pretty, pretty f***ing awful at this game.
00:25Let's do this.
00:31This is when we find out if we're girls or women.
00:36Okay, let's see.
00:38No laughing.
00:40This is serious.
00:46What did I just say?
00:47She's laughing.
00:51What are you smelling?
00:53Well, my smell is limited today.
00:55I don't know if you can tell.
00:57This one doesn't smell very strong, which actually makes me think it's the expensive one.
01:03But this one smells so nice.
01:05This glass is frosted.
01:07This glass is not frosted.
01:09Also, this is poured really badly, which normally happens with expensive candles, because they don't care.
01:15I forgot one of the most important parts.
01:20Oh!
01:22Rubber stopper.
01:23This is the cheaper one.
01:24This is the cheaper one.
01:25This is the more expensive one.
01:27I just think most expensive brands would never use a rubber stopper.
01:37Okay, this is a really big day for me.
01:44We have what looks like some nice coffee.
01:50I'm so scared.
01:52Full bend over.
01:53To me, it looks like a Diet Coke.
01:56But that's just because I see that in my dreams.
01:58I see that everywhere I go.
01:59Like I said, expensive taste, not here, honey.
02:09Okay.
02:10What does it taste like?
02:11Well, it's got a really bitter aftertaste.
02:12So, I feel like normally iced coffee that is really well made doesn't have that sort of bitter kickback with a really nice iced coffee.
02:24This one's the more expensive one.
02:47I can't tell if I have no sense of smell today or if there's no smell.
02:51I feel like you can tell by the smell sometimes.
02:53Is that crazy?
02:54I'm going to open these a couple times.
02:55So, bear with me.
02:57The packaging on these.
03:00See, now this has like a slightly sweet smell.
03:04But some brands just stick with like that chemical-y smell and they like the smell.
03:09Why am I explaining this?
03:12So, this could feel like a drugstore buy.
03:14It could.
03:15But it also could very well be like a sort of a classic staple design.
03:19At first glance, I feel like they're misleading you.
03:21Like this looks more expensive because it's cleaner packaging.
03:25And this is more like a sort of a vintage-y throwback, like a sort of a 90s drugstore packaging.
03:30But it also could be a Heritage brand that like they just never changed up their design.
03:34This is their classic design.
03:35This feels more modern.
03:36Like this packaging is very, doesn't really tell us much.
03:39They could be trying to throw us off.
03:41This formula looks expensive.
03:43I don't want to put it on and f*** up my...
03:46You know what?
03:47You know what?
03:48This brush looks cheaper.
03:50But they could be doing that on purpose.
03:51You guys are so f***ing sneaky.
03:54This is crazy.
03:56This is my job.
03:57I think this one's the more expensive one strictly based on the brush.
04:00But I could be totally f***ing wrong.
04:14Alright.
04:15None of you are my friends.
04:16I'm not going to let you in on my process at all.
04:19See, this one's the one they want you to think is cheaper.
04:21I think.
04:22But I don't know.
04:23But I don't know.
04:24I'm starting to feel a little crazy.
04:27They want you to think this is cheaper because this looks slicker.
04:29This is heavier.
04:30Normally you would think the heavy one is the more expensive one.
04:33There's more things going on.
04:34Also, it just generally looks more expensive.
04:37But also sometimes cheaper companies will use that as a tactic to make it look more expensive.
04:43You know what I'm saying?
04:44Check, check.
04:45I mean, I turned it on.
04:47So cheap.
04:48Welcome to use Bluetooth microphone.
04:51Bluetooth mode.
04:54Bluetooth mode.
04:57Bluetooth connected.
05:01In the white room with black curtains.
05:07Check, check.
05:08Okay.
05:09It's not great.
05:10It's not bad.
05:11It's not great.
05:12Reverb?
05:15This is the strangest social experiment.
05:23Fifteen people who can't talk back and I'm doing this.
05:28This is a horrible mic.
05:30Okay, I think this one.
05:31Bye, bye.
05:32Bye, bye.
05:35Bye, bye.
05:36This has EQ on there.
05:39I don't want to go with the obvious one, but I do think this is more.
05:43Power on.
05:46Hello?
05:47This is the more expensive one.
05:48Has to be.
05:51Yeah, thanks.
05:53Jesus Christ.
05:55God.
06:07I can't do it.
06:08Don't put any of that in there.
06:09Bye, bye.
06:10Bye, bye.
06:11Bye, bye.
06:12Bye, bye.
06:14I feel like I need like a little zoomy monocle for this one.
06:19I'm looking at the finishings.
06:21I'm looking at the stitching.
06:23The way the leather bends.
06:26This is now shoe investigation ASMR.
06:30They took off all hint of branding.
06:35Shh.
06:36You don't get to know what I'm thinking.
06:38They are awful.
06:39This one's the more expensive one.
06:41This is real leather.
06:42It bends.
06:43The stitching and the scallops around the edges here.
06:45No lower end shoe brand would ever take the time to do that.
06:49They don't care.
06:50They have to get it out.
06:51Whereas this, at the very end, you can see it's fraying, which means it's only leather on one side.
06:56And this stitching is very bare minimum.
06:58Also, this is reflective, which means it's probably like some kind of low end covering.
07:03This is the expensive one.
07:08Ding.
07:11Thank God.
07:18Okay.
07:21Okay.
07:22I mean, I feel like I have an obvious impulse, but I've been wrong.
07:27This one is pretty flimsy.
07:29I think this is a pretty dead giveaway.
07:33This is definitely glue gunned.
07:35If this was my design and somebody was making it,
07:40they'd be getting harsh words.
07:42I think if I were still in my OG gossip girl era and I was really loving Blair,
07:48I was always a Blair girl,
07:49I would maybe try to make this work, but I would take off more than half the gemstones,
07:54because this is just, it's a lot.
07:56That, trash.
07:57This, gold.
08:00No, but I think even the gemstones feel like they're higher quality for sure,
08:03and it's weightier, which means it's more expensive to ship.
08:06This is a more expensive one.
08:12Comeback.
08:13Comeback strong.
08:14Oh my God.
08:21This is ranch dressing.
08:22Ranch dressing.
08:28This is jiggling a lot,
08:29which makes me think it's got some extra preservative-y fat things,
08:35but then this has got some oil rising to the top, so same thing.
08:39Oh.
08:42Okay.
08:45Okay, so that smells of almost nothing,
08:47which is probably a sign that it's more expensive,
08:49because they probably add scent.
08:52Oh.
08:58Okay.
09:00This is wasteful, but I have to switch, because I'm wearing gloves.
09:02What does it taste like?
09:04Preservative-y.
09:13But that tastes like a classic drugstore ranch.
09:15I'm just going to go with my gut here,
09:17and say that this one's the more expensive one.
09:22Okay.
09:29This is my winning season, you guys.
09:37Okay.
09:41Same weight.
09:42Oh.
09:45See, I don't know what this thing means,
09:47this crop circle on everybody's phones.
09:50I see it in the nicer section of the phone cases,
09:52like when I go to Best Buy for some camera or something.
09:56And this reflective thing is not super chic.
10:00Huh, okay.
10:04It's really the gloves that is making this so stupid.
10:06I'm like...
10:09My monocle is so f***ing dumb.
10:13This one's the more expensive one.
10:15This has the toggle to turn your sound on and off,
10:19and this is blocked.
10:20And so it makes me feel like it's off-brand,
10:22or like it was made incorrectly or something.
10:24So this one feels like it's the higher-end one.
10:31Oh my god.
10:33That was really tense for me.
10:38I feel like that was sent by the FBI through my friends.
10:41They were like,
10:42are you someone who never f***ing texts me back,
10:44or are you a good person?
10:46No, I do take forever to text back, typically.
10:48I have to clear my brain, sit down,
10:51text you 32 things in a row.
10:54I'm like, sonnets and f***ing videos of children
10:58running around and playing and emotional moments
11:00and things I thought about throughout the day.
11:02And that takes time.
11:03But then my friends are always like,
11:04I always know it's you because I get 32 notifications
11:06in a three-minute period.
11:07I'm like...
11:10And that's love.
11:11I think we did pretty good.
11:13Thank you so much for having me,
11:14and be sure to keep an eye out for volume one
11:17of my debut album, Alchemical, out December 1st.
