Teyana Taylor considers herself a red velvet connoisseur, and in this episode of “Expensive Taste Test,” she puts that claim to work. From judging watches by their ticking (if Jay-Z said Rollies don’t tick-tock, she’s listening) to sipping cognac the way rich people say you should—the smoother, the more expensive—this multi-hyphenate’s one-liners are almost better than her guesses. Watch as she ranks fruit chews, sniffs perfume she already owns, and tries on slippers that prove price doesn’t always equal comfort. When she hears her final score? She’s convinced someone’s lying.

00:00I always hear rich people say,
00:02you taste that right there, you see that it's smooth.
00:04That's that, that's money.
00:05You know what I'm saying?
00:07Hi, I'm Tiana Taylor and I'm playing
00:09Expensive Taste Test with Cosmo.
00:19Oh shit.
00:21I love Red Velvet Cup, yes.
00:27See, I'm a baker, so I really feel like
00:29I'm like, a Red Velvet Connoisseur.
00:39A little airy.
00:40Tastes homemade though, I think.
00:42Somebody made that from scratch, I think.
00:48Got a little cream in the middle, even Twinkie.
00:52But homemade Red Velvet just hit different.
00:54This one feel a little knock when I clap, a little hard.
00:57This one smell like this gonna be the one-off.
01:00This tastes the closest to Red Velvet.
01:03It's really hard to say which one is more expensive,
01:04but like I said, sometimes the more expensive shit
01:06don't be that good.
01:07I wanna say due to the presentation
01:09and all the extra shit happening,
01:11the little crunch up top,
01:14this might be the more expensive one.
01:16But then again, the way they had the cream,
01:18just kinda like the little design up top,
01:20it was like .
01:21It looked like they were .
01:23Gives me also like expensive look.
01:27That might be the more expensive one, I think.
01:32But they, it's incorrect?
01:34I knew it from that.
01:35God damn, the way that whip was on there.
01:38You see how close I was though.
01:39I was like.
01:40All right, we got some watches here, you guys.
01:53I heard Jay-Z say,
01:54Rollies, they don't tick-tock.
01:55So I was trying to see, is it tick-tocking?
01:58I don't know, baby, this is where you might lose me.
02:00I think I probably wanna say this one
02:02because the logos are in more places than this one
02:07where I feel like it's very seldom
02:08that you may see a watch
02:09and there's like nothing on this part.
02:12These stones are a little cloudy.
02:14Like it's not like blinding, like it's not like .
02:18I think the one that's more expensive is
02:22Dainty Diana.
02:26Yay!
02:32Okay, so these are brow gels.
02:42Now the difficult part is that one is an actual color
02:48and one is just more of a clear base.
02:51So it really depends, they both will work together.
02:54So it's kind of hard to say what's more expensive
02:57and what's not.
02:58This bottom look a little fishy.
03:00This one, I like the packaging.
03:03But then again, I don't put it past the beauty supply store
03:05to really have some fancy shit that's $3.
03:07I think it's this one.
03:09And if it's not more expensive,
03:10I'm really, really, really disappointed in this
03:12because I need more.
03:15More is more when you are paying this kind of money.
03:21I don't make the rules.
03:26Yay!
03:30We have perfume right here.
03:34There's perfume.
03:35It's clean, but it's not nothing that's staying with me.
03:39It's, it moved right away.
03:40What's this doing?
03:41The moment I sprayed it, it's like still in the air.
03:44I'm gonna just assume that this one is more expensive
03:46because I actually wear this.
03:48I know it will come out of my account when I buy this.
03:51I'm a hat girl, so honestly, like cheap or expensive,
03:55like it literally, the hat does not matter.
03:58I mean, this match my hair.
03:59I think this would be cute.
04:00Like if I went glamping, like if I went glamping,
04:02I'm gonna just assume that this one is more expensive
04:04because I actually wear this.
04:06I know it will come out of my account when I buy this.
04:09I know it will come out of my account when I buy this.
04:12I know it's strapped, very camping.
04:14For this weather, it works.
04:16This feel good.
04:17It's giving me like a denim
04:18but like a little velvet feel on top of it.
04:22Well, now that I sprayed the perfume,
04:24I'm like, everything smells good.
04:25That one may be more expensive.
04:42Really?
04:49We have some slippers here.
04:51I feel like putting them on.
04:53But I can just tell how like even this down here.
04:59Put this next to a dog.
05:01Can I pet that dog?
05:04Who's got some?
05:09Oh, I got to try these ones on.
05:11These feel a little bit too light.
05:13Oh, they feel good though.
05:14But I tell you, you know that cheap shit be good, baby.
05:16That cheap shit be good.
05:17Yeah, let me try the other ones.
05:21These ones feel like solid as a rock.
05:24But they definitely feel hefty.
05:26So I think I'm gonna have to say that
05:29these are more expensive.
05:41This one is potent.
05:42It smell expensive.
05:43Smell like some Henny.
05:44Henny thinks possible.
05:47See, I don't drink straight.
05:48I'm more of like a margarita kind of girl.
05:50Strawberry margarita, watermelon margarita,
05:51blackberry margarita, raspberry margarita.
05:52Margarita mommy right here.
05:54Then this one is like...
05:55Boy, my heart's hot.
05:56Boy, my heart's hot.
05:57Both of those are really strong.
05:58I'm gonna have to try this one.
05:59I'm gonna have to try this one.
06:00I'm gonna have to try this one.
06:01I'm gonna have to try this one.
06:02See, I don't drink straight.
06:03I'm more of like a margarita kind of girl.
06:04Strawberry margarita, watermelon margarita,
06:06blackberry margarita, raspberry margarita.
06:08Margarita mommy right here.
06:10Then this one is like...
06:12Boy, my heart's hot.
06:14Both of those are really strong.
06:24They're both really good.
06:26But this one is smoother to me.
06:29I always hear rich people say,
06:31you taste that shit right there.
06:32You see, that shit's smooth.
06:33That's money.
06:34You know what I'm saying?
06:36I would make the rules again.
06:38I think this one is more expensive.
06:44Oh, .
06:53We got fruit chews.
06:54One look like now ladies,
06:55and one look like starbursts.
06:56Hold on.
06:59Mmm, it's good.
07:01That's real good, but...
07:04This one tastes like nothing I ate before.
07:05This one might be cheaper.
07:07But then again, I don't know.
07:12Starbursts got a certain smell too.
07:15This might be some expensive shit,
07:18because I never had this before,
07:19but these is good and soft.
07:21Whatever these are,
07:22check me to the king.
07:25That's that airy shit again.
07:26You know, they're a little airy,
07:27a little whipped.
07:29That's how I got caught up with that
07:30cupcake this morning.
07:31I think these are more expensive.
07:45They bounce differently.
07:50Is these light ones again?
07:51No shade.
07:52I said these might be the more expensive ones.
07:54Y'all still gotta give me a point for that,
07:55because I was very close.
07:57So, you got five out of eight correct.
08:00Okay.
08:03I feel like you're incorrect.
