- Oh.
- Oh my God.
- Ooh.
- What?
- [Voiceover] The world is a vast weird wonderful place.
It can be hard to imagine what it's like
to live in a different city all the way across the globe.
So we're going to pair two strangers
from two different countries and have them send
a care package to each other
full of their favorite beauty, style and self-care items.
This week we have Chantel in Los Angeles,
and Aishwarya, in Mumbai.
(upbeat instrumental music)
- Hi, my name is Chantel.
I live in Los Angeles, I was born and raised
in the San Fernando Valley
so I've been here most of my life.
Some people know me from watching Lady Like,
some people also know that
I direct stuff independently a lot.
Some things I like to do are traveling.
I've been to six continents.
I also really enjoy taking care of my cat, James.
Want some food?
Good boy.
My style will either be super
comfortable, casual like today.
Or red carpet glam.
There's not a whole lot in between.
I am excited to try this.
I like trying new things,
and I like seeing different cultures.
I don't know much about her culture
so I'm excited to see what else she sends my way.
(upbeat instrumental music)
- Hi, I'm Aishwarya.
I live in Mumbai, India.
Was born in Mumbai, I've been raised here.
Never really lived in any other city.
Okay, I'm biased because it's my home,
but I definitely love it.
I mean why wouldn't you?
I am a video producer here at Buzzfeed India.
Yeah, I'm in love with my job as well.
So I'm having a great time, guys.
I'm really into fitness.
Some days I am stronger or I feel stronger,
some days I just feel like wow,
I'm a weak piece of (bleeps).
I wish I was more confident in trying out new things.
If I happen to see like, a new trend in fashion,
I would look at it and be like, oh that looks so good.
But I could never pull that off.
I'm just excited to you know, go through this journey
and just seeing what they send me as well.
- [Voiceover] Each box can be decorated
any way the sender likes.
But they should contain one cosmetic item,
one self-care item, one fashion item,
one snack, one wild card and one item
to be opened at a specific time.
- I am about to go buy my items for Aishwarya's box
and I'm really excited they include some of my favs,
some stuff that I think will be her new favs.
- We are gonna shop here.
It's quite windy today.
And we will see what we can buy.
(upbeat instrumental music)
- Alright.
It's alright.
(upbeat instrumental music)
(clicks)
Alright so we just finished grabbing everything
and it was surprisingly easy.
- So I'm finally done shopping for Chantel.
And I absolutely enjoyed it and I had so much fun.
I got the things that I love and that I would love
if someone else gived it to me.
- Nailed it.
(upbeat instrumental music)
Okay, so I heard that the box just arrived in the mail.
I'm ready.
I love surprises, I love getting gifts.
- The box is finally here after like two months
of struggle from with like customs and everything.
Really I don't know how I waited for this box for so long.
Currently looks like someone stabbed it
or like ran over it.
- Smells nice.
It kinda smells like spray paint.
I love fumes.
- It's pretty!
It's so cute.
Oh I love it.
(upbeat instrumental music)
It has these things in it.
- And oh, this is gorgeous, my goodness.
My box does not look this.
I can tell you that much right now.
(upbeat instrumental music)
Beauty product.
MAC Ruby Woo lipstick.
- I think this is the most popular lip shade in India.
I'd like to see if she likes it
as much as people over here like it.
- Oh, I like the baby one.
It's so cute.
I love tiny things.
- First what I'd like to say is her packaging is adorable
NightBright.
An overnight trip from dull to dreamy.
- She was saying she doesn't have any sort
of skincare routine and that she's actually
wanting a night routine.
This is one serum and one oil by Drunk Elephant.
The brand is a little bit pricier
but I do find that they work on my skin really well.
- I'm just gonna take a little bit.
Wow this oil is really oily.
This was not a great idea.
I will do this at home and not now.
(upbeat instrumental music)
- Ooh.
So it says luxurious right on the box.
So that's an instant selling point for me.
- This is a facial treatment mask,
which is like a face mask.
It's mysore sandalwood and nagkesar.
Sandalwood is the most Indian thing I can actually think of.
I don't use any skincare items now,
but I do remember using sandalwood and it helping me.
- So it says that it's supposed to permeate the tissue,
nourish and rejuvenate the skin.
All those sound like things that I want for my skin.
Cool.
- I wonder what this is.
It feels like a book.
One Question a Day.
A Five Year Journal, a personal time capsule
of questions and answers.
It is so cute.
- This is a one question a day journal.
One each day, it just asks you a random question.
This book will last you for five years.
- I really love this.
Are you a saver or spender?
Like right now I'm a spender but I can't wait
til the fifth year when I write that I'm a saver.
(upbeat instrumental music)
- Oh my God.
This is beautiful.
- I don't know if she's ever used something like this.
I would like to see how she uses this
and like how she pairs it with things.
It's very Indian.
So I went for like a really Indian thing.
- This is gorgeous.
Part of the reason why I don't use purses
is because I'm like, eh, I'll use pockets if I have them.
And then two, I'm like it doesn't add
a whole lot to my outfit.
But something like this.
I also like that it's hard.
That's kind of fun.
- There's more of this!
Oh my God.
Okay I would never pick them
because I know they are not gonna suit my face.
- So I tried these on and they look great on me.
Hello, fashion.
And I had Kate try them on and Sara tried them on.
So they looked great on three people.
So they're gonna look good on her.
- [Woman] Aw, they look so cute.
- I don't know how these look.
This is something I would never pick for myself for sure.
I'm happy but I'm also very very nervous.
(upbeat instrumental music)
- So...
Oh (bleeps).
(grunts)
Speechless.
- This is something that I ate as a kid
either before school or after school.
It's instant noodles.
It's called Maggi, its the most popular brand in India.
- Masala two minute noodles.
Truly good ingredients you know.
This is a dream come true for me.
I love zesty snacks
- Natural green olives.
Ooh, they say low calorie snack.
- For my snack I chose these little packs
of olives called OLOVES.
I love traveling with these.
They're a great little zesty snack.
- Okay I'm quite calorie conscious.
So this is like the perfect treat for me.
Okay I wanna have some.
Actually I'll have them later.
I'll have them during lunch
and I'll share it with people as well.
(upbeat instrumental music)
- What?
- I thought of what I could get someone who travels a lot.
These are just antique binoculars.
I engraved it with her name over here.
I hope she enjoys it.
- Oh my God.
I feel so fancy.
Man, these are so cool.
I never in a million years expected to unwrap and see these.
- My last gift to you is actually a challenge.
- She said that she tends to play it safe
in regards to style and fashion
and will only wear bold things
if someone else gives it to her.
So I want to challenge her
to buy something bold for herself.
And to own it.
- I know this is like the easiest thing
if you think about it.
It's like oh you have to buy something for yourself.
But it says that if I get scared,
it probably means I should buy it.
I don't know.
It's a big challenge.
(upbeat jazz music)
- We've got one more mystery to save for later.
Open when you crave an Indian snack
but want to also have some good old American fast-food.
So that means that I have one more surprise.
- Open this when you want to work out.
So I'm definitely going to be
working out like, tomorrow morning.
So we shall see what that is.
Honestly like everything that she sent me
is something I wouldn't buy for myself.
And I love those kind of gifts.
You wanna try them out but you would never
spend money on them you know, yourself.
- I hope that she enjoys my mystery box
as much as I enjoyed hers.
Because she knocked it out of the park.
Can't wait.
(upbeat instrumental music)
- I am gonna try these sunglasses and ask my friend
and colleague, Diksha.
- I love them.
I love them, you look adorable.
- [Girls] Yes girl, yes.
- [Friend] So hot.
- I'm going to try the facial treatment masque.
Pretty dry, pretty tight.
I think my face actually looks really rejuvenated
and really hydrated.
- I'm about to go to the gym right now and this is a gift
that she said, open this when you want to workout.
So I'm gonna open it right now.
Interesting.
It's a pen drive.
Is this music?
(fast-paced music)
- My next gift is something that I want her to open
when she wants to workout alone.
I gave her a hard drive
of some of my favorite songs to workout to.
- So I just finished my workout.
And I think it was a jolly good workout.
I'm jolly liking the music so I think this was very sweet
of her to create and curate a playlist for me.
- So now I'm going to open up this box.
Oh God, can't do it with one hand.
Oh.
- When I think of Indian food or I have friends abroad
who think of Indian food, it has to be spicy.
So I'm got her something
that we get over here at McDonald's.
It's the piri piri spice mix.
I hope that it's not available in the US
and ya'll are seriously missing out.
- Oh my God, these are so good.
- Chantel has said that I should
buy something that scares me.
I'm gonna buy fake lashes.
Like I've wanted to buy for a very long time.
But I'm always scared of it because I'm like,
what it it looks like really fake and I look very different?
It's jolly heavy, I did not think they'd be so heavy.
It's gonna take some time to get used to.
I feel really nice about them.
I mean I still think they're pretty long.
But I'm also like maybe they're not so bad
and I'm really happy Chantel made me do this.
If I like them if I find them comfortable,
if it's something I wanna do, I'm gonna go ahead and do it.
Is this how you're supposed to do it?
Oh my God, that was so satisfying.
