Are we ready to have this gin?
Okay.
I’m so confused.
Guys, gimme the crown for this challenge.
I own it.
Hello, guys, I am Melody Molale aka @ilovemelmo.
And today I am taking the COSMO Expensive Taste Test challenge.
First up is coffee. So, the other one is instant coffee,
and this one is the one that goes through the coffee machine.
I wanna smell it first, because that is a good tip if you wanna find out what it is.
This smells very strong.
So, already I’m leaning towards this one before trying this one.
Gimme a second.
Ha-ah! Expensive, I don’t even need to taste it,
but I’ll taste it because I love coffee.
This is the one!
Am I right or am I right?
Yes!
I’ll taste it, okay, already.
I don’t know why they’re keeping the expensive ones on my left,
but we’re onto something here.
Okay, I’m gonna drink this.
Can I drink this, guys? Can I?
Sure?
Who mixed this?
This person needs to mix my drinks all the time, so good.
Okay, I’m going for the other one now.
Oh my gosh…
It’s so difficult with gin if they use the same tonic.
So, it’s very hard to tell, ’cause, quite honestly, it tastes almost the same.
But, because I am a gin whisperer, I’m going to let the gin speak to me…
This is the most expensive one!
Yes?
Yaaas!
Guys, give me the crown.
Clare, did you mix this?
Girl, you’re in the wrong career.
I am lactose-intolerant, but you already know that
lactose-intolerant people don’t care. I’m going to have this cheese.
The first test I’m going to do is I’m going to feel the cheese.
Because, I feel like before you can tell what the cheese is
you need to be able to touch and feel it.
Feel the softness, the texture, how hard it is. Sooo, let’s go in.
I’m going to go in with the left because I’m guessing it’s all right when I start with the left.
Okay, let’s get a bit of this…
Okay, it feels a bit hard, the texture is harder than the other one.
I’m gonna put it in my mouth and taste it.
It’s okay, it’s okay.
I’m gonna go with this one here!
Let’s see, I’m gonna take a bigger piece of this one because it looks very nice.
Mmm, give me a moment.
Look, I’ll say this, looking at the cheeses right now,
this one looks more expensive, but we all know looks can be deceiving…
So,
I’m so confused.
I think, I wanna say this one…
But because it looks expensive, I’m not gonna say this one.
I think this one is the more expensive one.
No!
I should have gone with my gut.
I don’t want to look at the brands yet, because obviously the glasses will be labelled.
I want to be able to look from far and to be able to tell you what is what.
So, I’ll hold up the glasses so that you guys can see what’s in front of me…
So, these are the sunglasses.
What I’m going to do is put them on because, apparently,
sunglasses that hurt behind your ears, are cheap.
Oh my God, I have a headache already, what is this?
Okay, okay, no.
As much as I love this pair,
I don’t think this pair is expensive.
Let’s go with the other pair.
You see? This has an expensive feel about it.
The weight is there so I’m gonna put them on.
Need I even say more?
Or should I just let it go?
Yes!
I got it correct.
Guys! Aside from that cheese (bloody thing),
I’m on a roll here.
Alright, guys, so you know my favourite subject in the world is beauty and fashion,
and today I’ve got two lashes.
So, I’m gonna peel them off and see what we’re working with
because you know when it comes to eyelashes you have to get into it,
you know?
Because they literally will be on, already.
This is cheap, because look at how it sticks to my nail.
I mean, hi.
Guys, this glue…
Okay, so I’ve got that.
And… I’ve got this one on the other side.
So,
I’m gonna put this one right above my eyebrow.
Brand-new lashes or lashes that come off the pack
should not have a lot of glue.
Okay.
That did not go well.
This glue tells me that there’s something funky happening here.
And this one, if you look closely, this hair is, like, very fluffy…
Very frisky, and it looks more natural, as much as it’s like a thicker lash.
It has a more natural hair fibre.
So, if I have to tell you which one is more expensive and which one is not…
This one is … more expensive!
Without a doubt.
I’ve got two smells in front of me.
So, I’m going first, with this one…
I feel like I’ve smelled this one before.
It smells so good!
Okay, I’m going to rub it onto my skin and see if I can get this smell on me.
I will say, just off the bat,
this is a stronger smell.
Umm, this is a more floral, summery smell,
which is what I like. Sooo,
I don’t know if that is going to cloud my judgement or not,
but I feel, I really…
Oh my gosh, this is so hard!
You know, because smells can be very tricky.
It depends on when it was sprayed on and how much was sprayed on.
So you want to, like, kind of, get the pre-information before you can decide.
But we don’t have time for that right now, so…
More expensive – this one!
This is a more expensive one.
I’m about to have humble pie right now, guys. Excuse me.
This is gonna be very easy. I grew up in Witbank,
So, Witbank water is literally terrible.
So, I know good water from bad water.
Already tasting very tappy…
The smell of this one really just comes to you, like…
Oh, I am so expensive!
I think Cape Town water is amazing.
Okay… So…
Literally guessing right now, because OMG, both waters are good.
I think… Tap water.
Expensive water.
Yaaas!
I told you I’m from Witbank and I know what this thing is.
Non-expensive makeup will smell very chemically,
and will just have, like, this pungent, over-the-top chemical, um, smell.
This is a very familiar foundation…
I get the suspicion and the feeling that this is the foundation that I use.
So, I’m going to play with this a bit because
remember I told you guys earlier
that when it comes to makeup,
you have to touch and feel the texture, and all of that?
OMG, look at how pretty that is.
*gasps*
That’s so nice, those tones are beautiful!
Oh no, the texture of this one is a dead giveaway.
It does not melt into the skin. It just, like, sits there.
And look how this one has literally blended in with my skin.
It’s melted, it’s almost like my second skin.
So I would now say that, off the bat,
this one is the most expensive one and this one, darling, is not!
I’m right again.
Thank you so much for watching
and playing this challenge or test with me,
I’ve guessed so many right!
