00:00she was like yeah i had to like control myself i remember you got off stage and you were like
00:05i'm never doing this here again
00:12hey gq it's kassai today we're going to show you all the things we can't live without
00:28yes
00:33nothing but cake
00:35i have a crazy obsession with cake but specifically like these butt cakes i like had a phase where i
00:43would eat one every single night with ice cream it was bad guys i am a sweet treat gal i
00:49know
00:49lara and sophia are two and i love these in general red velvet is my favorite flavor of cake
00:57or vanilla or like confetti but like a funfetti oh there's vanilla what's your favorite you'd
01:02change my favorite yeah oh i would she loves these i would say red velvet yeah fire but the
01:09strawberries i learned recently i think it's like strawberries and cream or something that
01:13that one's actually probably my favorite when it comes to this specific cake yeah the
01:19lemon the lemon is every single one of them is like fire like every single one is 10 out
01:24of 10 it's actually any occasion we have butt cakes someone's birthday because they're so
01:29good everyone loves them what's megan's favorite i don't know is that red velvet i feel like she
01:34also would like a lemon thing you know she likes the strawberry one too yeah yeah she doesn't
01:41like things that are too sweet that's why she'll eat the cake but give me the frosting sometimes you
01:45would give me your frosting too megan couldn't be here today but we will make sure to bring her
01:50one or two or three or all or all of these cakes
01:59another one of my essentials is eyeliner i know this doesn't look like eyeliner that is because i don't
02:05use liquid liner to do my eyeliner shocking i actually use eyeshadow i use black eyeshadow any black eyeshadow
02:14works but i really like my makeup by mario palette you inspired me to get that palette did i yeah
02:20you
02:20did i like it to be a little smoked out also i just feel like eyeshadow is way easier to
02:27use if you
02:27mess it up you can just use a q-tip wipe it off forgive that is very true it's way
02:32easier to use
02:33i just personally like the look of the eyeshadow more literally every single makeup look i have to have
02:39my eyeliner like this and i always do it myself no matter who i work with i'm always like can
02:45i just
02:45do it myself i always start off with tight lining my eye with the black pencil or like a dark
02:51brown
02:51depending on the vibe all inside my eye and then i'll follow with the black eyeshadow and i'll literally
02:57do like a triangle right inside my eye i feel like it brings my eyes a little closer together and
03:03it
03:03gives it that siren look that we want sometimes i'll do thicker triangle or thinner or longer or
03:10shorter again depending on the vibe and then i'll literally just like do a little like line and then
03:15just like fill it in and like smoke it out a little bit i don't go over like i don't
03:20put any on top i just
03:21do the wing and inside i literally just use the edge like the edge of it so and i go
03:28really soft so
03:29i've actually seen some of you guys doing it on tiktok which i love thank you but that is how
03:35i do it
03:36like exactly so there you go
03:41this is my holy grail journal and my headphones they go hand in hand it's like my songwriting journal
03:48my poetry journal and also just like my everyday like i will take a lot of these entries and turn
03:54them into a song or like turn them into a poem i have a lot of journals this is actually
03:59a little
04:00bit more new but i think what i've written in this journal is the most like meaningful thing to me
04:06like this is my most prized possession on the planet actually so i actually only started journaling like
04:13maybe a year or two years ago but i've been writing songs since i was like five so i like
04:20to write them
04:21on paper so i guess that's technically journaling i have the specific journal from training days that
04:29i manifested being in cat's eye with i would write every day i am in the final group i'm in
04:34the final
04:35group and i have like a certain method and i still have that journal she's like in my room in
04:41a very safe
04:41place and i will keep her forever every time i journal i blast music on these headphones specifically
04:48erica badu i have her lyrics tattooed on my arm she's my favorite artist of all time
04:58my next essential is my bindi's they're in like a little book i have so many this is just like
05:06one
05:07of them whoa i've never seen this before yeah this has been my recent holy grail because i have so
05:13many
05:13i have like packs from india from my grandparents or when i go yeah right it's like a sticker book
05:19but
05:19they're bindi book a bindi is essentially like in simple terms it's like a representation of the
05:27opening of your third eye and of like the chakra here which is it like enlightens you it helps light
05:35come
05:36within you helps you see things more clear it's like also a protection method i like to
05:44use my bindi also as like a fashion statement especially when we're on stage or have like a big
05:50event always goes hand in hand with my outfit so it's kind of just how i'm feeling on the day
05:55the
05:56only thing is that i have to have it but what it really is it's a very deep sacred symbolism
06:03of
06:03hinduism which is my religion also my om necklace like they all go hand in hand so it makes me
06:10feel
06:10very protected and connected to my family and my indian culture
06:21here is my first essential aquaphor when we started cat's eye there was this whole debate in our fan base
06:29about what my lip routine is there was a time when anything i would do if there was something that
06:36i was in all the comments wouldn't even be about my singing my performance just be about what's your
06:40a lot of the times it was just aquaphor on my lips i was on accutane for like almost two
06:47years and it
06:47makes you so dry and i would just like depend on her like crazy every single night up to now
06:53even
06:53though i'm not on it anymore i still put such a thick layer on my lips i wake up when
06:57i wipe it off i
06:58just feel so good i can't survive if my lips aren't glossy or moisturized this is my actual aquaphor
07:04you guys you can see i'm almost done with it i've probably gone through like 50 of these and i
07:08like
07:08to decorate it with stickers a lot of my essential stuff have stickers on it and sometimes lara would
07:13lose a bendy yeah she would go to me and take one of my gems and just pop it onto
07:19her forehead oh my god
07:21yes yeah i would yes i literally cannot survive she can't she can't everybody on our team knows all
07:27my members know that i need to have alcohol in me so i'm right here oh four if you want
07:31to give me a
07:32lifetime supply another one of my essentials is a dyson air wrap so right here i have with me my
07:43best
07:43friend okay i'm gonna just say that i have more than one because it doesn't work in all countries and
07:48ever
07:49since we started touring i invested in just getting one that can work all over the world i need this
07:54before i go to bed when i wake up when i'm doing my touch-ups it's just like so good
07:59for my hair
07:59health and so it just purely uses air it's not like curling iron or a flat iron where it uses
08:05hot plates
08:06so it's a lot gentler for your hair i just like travel with all the little pieces and it just
08:11all
08:11connects with one thing and just clicks on there's like a round brush if you want to do like a
08:15blowout
08:16they have the blow drying feature and it doesn't have like the blades or anything or like it doesn't
08:21get caught in your hair so you'll pull it out things like that like a diffuser if you're like
08:25danny with the big curls and they all stare and then this is my favorite the smoothing brush it's so
08:30good this is my favorite and i love that when you do it this one you can connect it to
08:33your phone and
08:34have all the settings that you want it starts off heat it puts hot air and it heats it up
08:38and then
08:39there's cool air and then it sets it the cool side right and i always get the pink one one
08:46of my
08:46essentials is noise cancelling headphones because i have some loud members we do it's really loud but
08:59good to have loud members sometimes it could be kind of overwhelming sometimes i need some peace she
09:06bought these when we were roommates oh oh my god because the thing is i've had these headphones
09:13since training and that's what i would use because i lived in a house with all the girls all the
09:16trainings yeah because i used to like didn't need this and then we were and then we were roommates
09:21she felt the wrath of social i was like you should try and try my headphones and then she bought
