- I mean, same but diff.
Hi, I'm Kali Uchis,
and I'm playing Expensive Taste Test with "Cosmo."
The rules are simple.
I'll be given two products
and I have to pick which product I think is more expensive.
Do I feel I have expensive taste?
Mm, I would like to consider myself still a modest person.
You know, I also appreciate the finer things in life.
I think I'll do good for sure.
The most expensive thing I've ever got?
My houses, that's the only thing I spend money on.
My boyfriend gives me all my expensive things,
like gifts and stuff.
That's all him, so I don't do that.
(upbeat music)
I mean, it's a good dup,
but you could tell right here
it doesn't have any texture to it like this one does.
You see these are coming out
and they have a little bit more character.
This is just flat.
The way that it's woven is definitely the cheaper version.
It seems like the gold
has kind of turned into that pinky color
when they don't have good finishes on them.
The finish is still intact.
So I'm gonna say that this is the expensive one
and this is the dup for sure.
(bell dings)
(upbeat music)
Okay, okay, yeah, this one's gonna be harder,
because I've never really used hair tools.
I don't really use heat product on my hair.
Nowadays, you know, when we have glam,
they might use something on my hair.
But, personally, like growing up,
I didn't really use it too much.
(blow dryer whirring)
I mean, same but diff.
Okay, this is how I think that I know,
one, because this finish here
it's a little bit more tacky,
but I don't know if I'm just biased,
'cause I don't really like stuff that's shiny like that.
But this right here
is what really made me feel like it's the cheaper one.
If you compare them,
this one just has a matte finish.
It's aesthetically cleaner looking, but what do I know?
Am I right? (bell dings)
Hey! (laughs)
(upbeat music)
This one smells very rich.
This one I would say is not as rich.
It's not like, you know, this one really, like, puh!
I'm gonna see what's going on inside.
Okay, it looks pretty,
I would say it looks like a pretty decent,
quality chocolate, oh.
Oh, so this one's a little bit more
like a mousse on the inside.
Okay, I'm gonna take a little nibble out of each.
(upbeat music)
Oh, that's disgusting.
(upbeat music)
This one tastes better.
I don't know, sometimes things that are more expensive
don't always taste better.
This is really tough,
but I'm gonna say that this is the more expensive one.
(bell dings) Okay, ah!
(upbeat music)
Just off of immediate touch,
this one is a lot softer.
This one, it does have a scratchier feel to it.
But I'm not gonna lie,
I have gotten some luxury sweaters before
that I was surprised they had a scratchier feel to them.
So let me take a deeper look into the stitching.
(upbeat music)
This is tough, 'cause honestly,
both of them aren't bad quality,
I would wear either of these.
I'm gonna take a guess and say
that this is the more expensive one.
(buzzer buzzes)
What? - The scratchy one is the one.
- See, that's what I said.
I swear, what the hell?
(upbeat music)
Just off of presentation, just off of the box,
I'm already assuming this one is more expensive,
because, you know, this is just cardboard.
This has velvet.
It has a little bit more structure to it.
But let's open them up and see what's inside,
because you never know.
You know, don't judge a box of cards by its cover.
(upbeat music)
Basic.
(upbeat music)
Okay, a little more custom, if you will.
(upbeat music)
(cards slapping together quickly)
(upbeat music)
I will say the shuffle feels about the same in the cards.
I'm just gonna take a wild guess
and say that these are more expensive.
(buzzer buzzes) (Kali Uchis screams loudly)
No. (laughing)
Damn!
(upbeat music)
All right, this one, it does smell cheap, this one.
Let's look at the texture.
Mm, the texture is not bad, but it's not very creamy.
Mm, these are really similar.
Okay, hold on.
Oh, this one smells worse.
And actually it's even less creamy.
Okay, when I shake this one,
you know, it has some jiggle to it.
This one is stiff.
If I go like this, this one comes out and this one doesn't.
(Kali Uchis sniffing)
And this one smells worse.
So I'm gonna say this is the cheaper one.
(bell dings) Yeah? Okay.
Okay, okay, cool.
(upbeat music)
Mm, this one is definitely more bitter.
But sometimes the ones with more added sugar
are the cheaper ones.
The color is obviously a lot more translucent
in this one versus this one,
it almost could pass for apple juice over here.
So I'm just gonna take a wild guess.
This one's...
This is the more expensive one.
(buzzer buzzes) No!
(crew laughing) What the hell?
(upbeat music)
Hmm.
This one was made in India, ethically.
Just based off of the tags,
I'm already feeling like this is the cheaper one.
It does say Made in China.
In regards to quality, I'm gonna say this one,
the one made in India, it is softer.
I'm gonna take a wild guess
and say this one is the more expensive one.
The one ethically made.
(bell dings) Okay.
(upbeat music)
The wristband material
I would say already feels cheaper on this one.
And the overall look,
stylistically this one already just looks more expensive.
You know, it's giving stainless steel.
In regards to weight,
this one does feel a little bit heavier for sure.
I'm gonna just say this one is definitely
the more expensive one.
(bell dings)
(Kali Uchis and Crew laughing)
He's so mad when I get it right.
Honestly, I thought that I was gonna get them all right.
It just goes to show, you know,
that, you know, sometimes money isn't everything.
And I think coming from both walks of life,
you know, growing up, having the dups
and, you know, being older now
and seeing the more quality things,
I think I'm definitely able to distinguish between them.
So I would love to do a round two.
I would love to do a round two.
So, hopefully, see you guys next time,
and, hopefully, I'll get all of them right.
