- Oh, I'm so excited to get gifts!
- I'm so excited!
- [Narrator] 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 gonna 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 time, we've paired Kate in Los Angeles
and Remee in London.
(fun rhythmic music)
- Hello, I'm Kate, I'm 29.
I live in Los Angeles.
It's so pretty.
And I am a screenwriter.
One of the most important things in my life
is my cat, Peter.
Here he is, he's perfect!
(Peter mews)
But right now he's trying to eat my paper towels.
I don't have makeup brushes.
If I put makeup on, it's usually BB Cream.
I do like glitter. (laughs)
I've been trying to pay a little bit more attention
to how I present myself to the world.
I can't wait to see what she gets.
Maybe something to make me feel a little bit more grown up.
(playful rhythmic music)
- Shocking, biscuits.
I can eat a whole packet of biscuit.
Hey guys, my name is Remee.
I work at BuzzFeed but I work in the London office.
I love makeup, I love skincare, I love hair care.
My hobbies, what are my hobbies?
Does exercise count as a hobby?
Uh.
(moaning)
I work and hang out in Soho.
This is the Carnaby Street area, it's really (bleep) cute.
I'm really excited to swap a self-care box
with somebody in another country.
I think that's really (bleep) cool.
I just hope they like the stuff that I pick.
- [Narrator] 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, and two items to be opened later,
at a specific time.
- We're at the mall.
Gonna go get a couple of things.
I barely even shop for myself, so this is kinda fun
to shop for someone else.
- I'm about to go shopping.
We are in Carnaby Street.
Which is very busy, I'm with Laura.
We go shopping on our lunch breaks all the time.
(upbeat electronic music)
Shopping is hard work.
(electronic music)
- Got the box, got the goods, ready to go.
(carefree electronic music)
- My package has arrived.
I haven't had a care package sent to me since uni,
and even then it was just like a book
on like 101 ways to use beans.
- The box is here, so we're gonna open it.
Now, they really taped it down.
- Uh.
Why do I struggle with boxes?
♪ Ripping it open ♪
♪ Ripping the box ♪
- Oh there's a cute box in the middle!
All right let's get rid of that.
Bye bye!
- Look at what we have here.
(bubble wrap pops)
- Oh there's little pom poms in here!
Hee hee!
(electronic music)
- Yeah, ooh, Matte Revoluche.
Hot lips, baby.
- For my cosmetic item, I have bought a lipstick
from Charlotte Tilbury which is basically
my favorite makeup brand.
Chose this color which is called Carina's love.
I've actually got it on now.
Hopefully it looks great on her 'cause it's supposed
to look great on all skin tones.
- She's bright red.
Tell me I look awesome.
Thank you.
- I know they've got really makeup in the U.S.,
so I'm excited.
(gasps) It's Fenty!
- The makeup product, I got her Fenty highlighter.
A, love Rihanna.
B, think she'd look great in a highlighter.
C, highlighter's like the only actual piece
of makeup that I know how to use.
- Yes!
I'm so excited!
I've actually been wanting to try this.
But basically, we don't have it in loads of stores here.
We only have it in some really fancy department stores
and everything basically sells out.
This is a nice gold shade, so I feel like
that will go well with my skin tone.
(carefree music)
- Mask in your glory, it's a face mask, I bet!
Oh my God!
It's a hair mask.
- I've bought this Reincarnation mask.
It says to resurrect bleached or colored hair.
So I basically dyed my hair and got balayage?
I don't actually know how to say it.
Since then, my hair's been pretty dry so every week,
I sort of take the time to put in a luxurious hair mask
to sit in the bath, listen to some tunes.
- I love it, it feels like I'm on a runway.
Ooh 10 to 20 minutes for this sucker.
It's just an opportunity to walk around and be like,
I can't, I have to do my hair mask.
- (gasps) Okay so this says rose gold.
Love it already.
Elixir.
I think that's how you say it, elixir.
24 karat gold infused beauty oil.
Oh my God.
- I started using face oil recently and it's been,
oh it's just done wonders for my skin, I'll tell you what.
And this is one I would never think to treat myself to.
So I naturally got it for somebody else.
- This is my (bleep).
This is like the (bleep) you have to hide
in special drawers when people come over
or from your flatmate, Frankie.
So that they don't use it.
(fun rhythmic music)
(laughs)
- This one says for tiddies, not kiddies!
O-M effing G.
It has paw prints on the boobs!
- So for my fa-shawn item, I've chosen to get a t-shirt.
It has fun things on the nipples!
You know, life is just more fun when you have things
on your nipples.
- I love it.
Anyone who knows me at all knows how much
I love my cat Peter.
I guess it's weird to have his paw prints
over my boobs, but they're not his real paw prints,
they could just be anyone's paw prints.
This is something I would never pick to wear for myself.
But I am psyched to try it.
- Bien fait, feh.
I can't speak French.
I don't know why I keep trying to speak French.
(gasps) Oh, cute!
- I got her these fun earrings.
They're little hands.
I like things that are just fun little conversation starters
and I know that she already likes hoop earrings,
so I thought these would be fun and dare I say quirky.
- These look awesome.
I can't wait to wear them actually.
Maybe even a date, guys.
(fun rhythmic music)
- Her notes are so funny.
Oink oink, yum yum! (chuckles)
Soft gums made with fruit juice, Percy Pig.
No artificial colors or flavorings.
- Let me tell you about Percy Pig's.
Percy Pig is a (bleep) G.
He is delicious and nutritious.
I'm not sure if he's nutritious,
but basically an institution in this country,
like if you hadn't heard about Percy Pig,
I don't know what you're doing.
The world needs to know about Percy Pig's.
- Oh yeah dude.
I love gummy candies.
This is (chuckles), this is the best day of my life.
- It's Doritos!
I don't think I've actually had cheesy Doritos for ages.
- I've loved Doritos since I was a kid.
They're my favorite chip.
I love fake cheese.
I could eat these all the time.
I never get sick of these chips.
- All right Doritos, let's see what you've got.
(crunches chip)
(mumbles) Good.
I feel like I've got Dorito dust on my lips.
(fun rhythmic music)
- Okay, and then the two open laters,
we've got a open when stressed,
and, my God.
Open when you wanna feel good. (laughs)
I'm gonna open this when I'm stressed,
and then I'm gonna wanna feel good immediately,
so I'm gonna do a double whammy with these suckers tonight.
(chuckles)
- Aw.
It's a card.
But it says open after a stressful day.
Obviously I don't want to have a stressful day,
but I know that there probably will be one.
So this says open when you need inspiration.
I need inspiration all the time.
We're gonna save this one for later, stay tuned.
I have to say it's really nice to get gifts,
but I think it's really cool to get stuff from somebody
who you don't know from a different part of the world.
Thank you so much, this is glorious.
- I'm so excited to try everything.
Look, I've really been needing something for my hair.
And so this will be great.
I can't wait to try it out and be like a silky, fresh baby.
(fun rhythmic music)
This hair mask smells so nice.
Call me crazy, but I can feel it working.
Feels so smooth and soft and nice.
- I'm going for brunch with the girls today,
so I thought it was a good opportunity to wear
the earrings that Kate got me.
They look pretty cute.
About to leave for work
and I'm wearing these earrings again.
I am officially obsessed with them.
- Here's my paw print boob shirt.
I'm wearing my lipstick.
Do I got anything on my teeth?
I have my soft hair from yesterday, my good lord.
This is great.
I think everything should do this.
I don't know how, but I think they should.
- Been one of those weeks where everything's been nonstop.
One of the things that I experience living in London
is I can get easily overwhelmed.
It might be time to open one of the gifts
that I didn't unwrap, which was the one that said
open when you need inspiration.
Present of inspiration.
It's very difficult to do this with one hand.
This is my favorite book.
It encouraged me when I felt stuck in life.
This is my copy.
Sorry for the wine inside the cover.
And I'm happy to pass it along.
Hope you like it.
(chuckles)
- Peter, can you not poop while I'm making this video?
My God.
I'm a little stressed right now,
so you'd think I would open the open when stressed one,
but no, I wanna feel good.
Grab a glass of wine or a cup of tea.
Set up Paddington the movie on Netflix.
Open your bissies?
And eat them, eat minimum half the packet.
Enjoy some wholesomeness of P bear and cookies.
Did you read my heart?
I (bleep) love Paddington.
Excuse all of us.
Finished Paddington.
I'd almost finished this box of cookies.
- It's been a long day.
You can tell, my throat's a bit like I'm getting sick.
So I thought this would be a good time for me
to open this little package.
You can do it! (chuckles)
That's a really cute card.
Step one, pour yourself a glass of wine.
Like it already.
Step two, put on Chelsea Peretti's stand-up special
One of the Greats on Netflix, ooh.
Step three en-fricking-joy.
I am one minute 52 seconds in and I'm dying already.
It's so funny.
I'm gonna put this pride of place.
- So I'm going to open the open when stressed thing.
Okay, instructions for de-stressing.
Run a hot bath, add...
Run a hot bath and add your Cow bath gel.
Light some candles in the bathroom.
Download episode 81 of the podcast Criminal.
Sink and listen and forget everything.
Oh, perfect!
It's shower gel too!
Holy (bleep), I mean crap.
It smells so good, I feel like I smell like a woman.
- So I've opened all of my bits in the package now
which is quite sad because there's nothing left to open.
(sniffles) But I've really enjoyed the experience.
I'm actually wearing the earrings again right now.
I'm wearing my Fenty highlighter
and I've had the face on.
And, I'm actually halfway.
I kind of want to Skype her afterwards, like,
girl, let's chat.
Let's hang out.
Come to London, I'll come to LA.
- Based on the stuff she sent and her sense of humor,
I feel like we'd actually be pretty good friends,
which is nice.
I feel like I made a friend.
(fun rhythmic music)
