00:00You know, every pair of sunglasses suit me.
00:02Every single pair, no matter what shape.
00:04It's a gift.
00:06Hi, I'm Maura Higgins, and I'm playing Expensive Taste Test with Cosmopolitan.
00:12I'm a bit nervous right now because I don't want to get anything wrong
00:16because I spend money on fashion.
00:18And then if I get it wrong, I'm going to be like,
00:21why am I spending this money?
00:28I have Irish breakfast tea in front of me.
00:30You know that I won't be allowed back into Ireland if I get this wrong.
00:34I don't just knock it back.
00:38Oh my God, you see, that does smell like Ireland.
00:41That smells like Barry's tea.
00:47It's like war.
00:49There's no point.
00:54It tastes like Barry's tea.
00:57Oh God.
00:58This is stronger, and I really think this is the tea that I usually drink when I'm in Ireland.
01:04I don't know if that's more expensive, but it's definitely better than that because that is vile.
01:10I think this one is more expensive, but it's only because I prefer it.
01:18Well, I don't care.
01:20I like this one.
01:20So we're off to a great start.
01:28In front of me, I have two hats.
01:32I don't want to get all these wrong.
01:34I don't really know if I have any inspo for my hats.
01:37I just like to play around with fashion.
01:39And I just love a hat.
01:40I love sunglasses.
01:41I love a glove.
01:42It can make an outfit sometimes.
01:45Floppy.
01:46I'm terrified.
01:47I'm terrified.
01:48I'm too competitive for this.
01:50Well, it's weird because this one's more sturdy.
01:53But if you look at the stitching, it's giving cheap.
01:56Okay.
01:57I feel like this might be the more expensive one.
02:01Well, I shouldn't listen to my gut.
02:03Let's be real.
02:04My gut is always wrong.
02:05So maybe I should choose the opposite every time.
02:08I'm going to go with this one.
02:09I'm going to go with this is the most expensive one.
02:12If I'm wrong, I'm going the opposite of my gut from now on.
02:16Because clearly.
02:19Oh my God.
02:21I am so good at this game.
02:23Really?
02:25That was easy.
02:32We have two pairs of shoes.
02:35Snake.
02:37Skin.
02:37First impression, like just by overall looking, I would probably say these are the most expensive ones.
02:45But we're going to like analyze because I don't want to be wrong.
02:52Give me some time.
02:55Oh, that's good.
02:57That's good stuff.
03:00Cheap.
03:02Cheap.
03:04Expensive.
03:05Facts.
03:05I know I'm not wrong.
03:07That is cheap as hell.
03:08That's a good shootout.
03:10Can I take this home?
03:13God, I'm good at this game.
03:15Some people have called Ra the snake.
03:17Do you think that's fair?
03:19No.
03:20It's not fair.
03:22I mean, he loves snakes.
03:24But he's not a snake.
03:26He bought me a Birkin.
03:32So we have some perfume.
03:34I don't really play around with scents.
03:36I stick to what I know and what I like.
03:39This probably will be very hard.
03:42It said this is heavier.
03:44Can I smell them?
03:50Disgusting.
03:56That is absolutely minging.
04:03Pfft.
04:05Who would you say smelled the best on Traders?
04:07Probably me.
04:10Oh, do you know who did smell good?
04:12Monet X Change.
04:13That's better.
04:15That is vile.
04:16I don't think I'm very good at, like, scents at all.
04:20I just know this one smelled, to me, it just smells fresher.
04:23Like, that's poison in a bottle.
04:26You know the way some people spend hundreds on a perfume and then it genuinely tastes like shit?
04:32It smells like an ear freshener.
04:35You couldn't wear that.
04:36That's not normal.
04:37That is not normal.
04:39I choose this only because, like, that is minging.
04:50Why couldn't we have these type of missions in Traders?
04:54I would have won a shield every single time.
05:02Two hairbrushes.
05:03I don't think I'm going to be good at hairbrushes.
05:06Like, does it really matter?
05:08You started your career working at a hair salon and in beauty.
05:11Do you think that will help you in this assessment?
05:14No.
05:15Can I brush my hair?
05:17Like, just to see.
05:20Like, this one is really light and feels great.
05:24I don't really know.
05:26I mean, look, the thing is, they both do the same job.
05:31Everyone prefers a different type brush, depending on your hair.
05:40You know what?
05:40I did work at woodworking school.
05:42I should know this, like, by the wood and...
05:45Well, this one's, like, really nice.
05:47Do you know what kind of wood it is?
05:48Me?
05:49No.
05:50No.
05:51I'd love to phone a friend.
05:52Can I phone a friend?
05:53I'm bringing in my hairstylist.
05:56This one's heavy.
05:58But then, this one, imagine if you're wrong.
06:02I know, I'm going to be pissed.
06:02You're fired.
06:03I would say the bristles feel...
06:05That just feels, like, cheap, doesn't it?
06:08No, not necessarily.
06:09It does.
06:10I would say the bristles feel...
06:11I would say this one.
06:13Definitely.
06:13Yeah.
06:14Right.
06:15Okay.
06:15I'm going to blame Frankie anyway, so let's go with this one.
06:21Yes!
06:23We'll keep you.
06:25Guess how much you think each of them were.
06:27This one's probably, like, $14.
06:31And then I'd say this one is probably ridiculous, like, 20, 20, like, no, no.
06:39It's 72.
06:41That's a ripoff.
06:43$72 for a hairbrush.
06:45And the other one is nine.
06:47That was close.
06:53Cheese puffs?
06:54I love cheese puffs.
06:55Have I done better at this game than anyone else?
06:58Very close.
06:59Honestly, I'm so good at this game.
07:01I don't know what these are.
07:03Like, I'm just smelling them, but I know that they're cheese puffs.
07:07These smell really, really good.
07:09Can I have one?
07:10Yeah.
07:14Oh.
07:16They're a bit airy.
07:18No.
07:20Are they fresh?
07:21Of course, usually I love them, but they're a bit stale.
07:25You sure there wasn't a hole in your bag?
07:28Hmm?
07:29I mean, I prefer these.
07:31Are you getting anything other than cheese?
07:34Oh, is there something more than cheese?
07:36Was that a hint?
07:38Hmm.
07:39Okay.
07:43Maybe there is something else in these.
07:45I don't know.
07:45I've got a lot of cheese in my mouth now, so I'm unsure.
07:49Like, if these are more expensive, I don't understand because I think they're a bit boring.
07:54These are bigger and there's more flavor.
07:56This is really weird.
07:58I like the way they get stuck in your teeth and you can, like, spend time picking it out.
08:01You know, like, it kind of savors the flavor.
08:04These are just airy and, I don't know, they're a bit boring.
08:08I would probably say, I'm scared.
08:14I'd probably say these.
08:21It's too wrong.
08:23Like, whatever, I'm eating them.
08:30I'm not really a gloss type of girl, okay?
08:33I'm more of a matte girl.
08:35But anyways, I could be very wrong in saying this, but it kind of feels like a very young product.
08:41You know, like something I'd give my 10-year-old niece, you know?
08:48Oh, dear.
08:50I mean, this one does feel more expensive.
08:54Like, the lid is matte and it's, like, I don't know, more weighty.
09:00This one is just giving, like, cheap and tacky.
09:07I think this one has to be, surely.
09:10Ooh.
09:11There's a shimmer in it.
09:13Hmm.
09:15No, it feels really nice.
09:20Okay, let me have a look.
09:21Oh, dear God.
09:23It's like nail varnish.
09:25I'm just gonna have to risk it.
09:27I really do think this one's the most expensive.
09:30This surely can be.
09:36Are you serious?
09:38Shit.
09:39I think I'm good at blushes and lip liners.
09:42Not lip glosses.
09:44I don't even wear it, so it doesn't count.
09:47Moving on.
09:53We have two pairs of sunglasses.
09:56I cannot get this wrong because I love sunglasses so much.
10:02I love it.
10:06I'm good at it.
10:09I love it.
10:15I don't know.
10:16I'm good at it.
10:17I'm good at it.
10:24I don't know.
10:25They don't, they don't feel like that expensive
10:29but I'm afraid to say that because they are.
10:33Give me a second.
10:36Which one suits me better?
10:39Oh, they all have different opinions.
10:41Cause they all suit me.
10:44See?
10:48These are a bit loose,
10:50but I've got a small face so.
10:53Like this is, this is stiffer,
10:55but I don't think that makes them more expensive
10:58because I have very expensive pairs of sunglasses
11:01and they fall off my face.
11:03So that's great, isn't it?
11:05Yeah, I've lost a few pairs.
11:07To have a stand.
11:10Oh, I'd love a mirror.
11:15Oh, no, I look great.
11:19Oh, they look good.
11:21Okay.
11:27I look great.
11:28I mean, they all suit me.
11:29This is the problem.
11:32Okay, one more go.
11:33They're usually more than that though, aren't they?
11:35Like a good pair.
11:36You're spending like four or five hundred.
11:39Maybe these ones.
11:40Oh, I don't know.
11:41Oh God, I'm scared.
11:42I got all the fashion questions right.
11:45So I don't want to,
11:46but these, these look incredible on me.
11:49So I think these are the most expensive pair.
11:54Oh my God.
11:56I am so good at this game.
11:59Fashion.
12:00Like nevermind the cheesy sticks and tea.
12:05Avery fashion question.
12:07And that's why she won best dressed in the Scottish Castle.
12:11Those are $40.
12:12The other were $95.
12:14Even got the price range right.
12:15If we're only going off of the fashion questions,
12:18you got five from five.
12:20Can we have a round of applause?
12:26If we're going off of all of them,
12:28you got five out of eight.
12:32That's not great.
12:33One last item.
12:41She's one of one.
12:42There's nobody else like her.
12:45Just, you want to take a zoom in that?
12:49She smells so expensive.
12:51Well, I won, in my opinion anyway.
12:55So, um, I'm off.
12:56For now, you can check out my Cosmo shoot.
12:59So far, you'll see what happens.
13:02Bye-bye.
13:02Bye-bye.
13:04Bye-bye.
13:16Stop it,ised by using TuneS.
