(screams)
- My box!
- Like, I don't know why it's not opening.
(upbeat music)
- [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 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 time, we've paired Destinee in Los Angeles
and Liza in Toronto.
(lively music)
- Hey y'all, what is up?
It is Destinee, I am a 25-year-old video producer
with Cocoa Butter in LA.
For the past year, I've been like more aware
of what I'm putting on my skin,
what I'm putting in my hair,
I don't know if you can consider
streaming and chilling a hobby,
but that's what I do.
That's what I thoroughly enjoy.
I can binge watch and entire season in like two days.
I'm really into like getting my heart rate up,
if I can go on a hike or go to the gym.
I'm super like nervous and excited about this challenge
because I really want these gifts to be
like something that she would enjoy.
I think really, all-in-all,
this process will get me a pen pal.
Maybe we'll like stay in touch,
maybe we'll follow each other on Instagram, I don't know.
(dramatic violins)
Hey, my name is Liza Hicks, also known as Liza Feliza.
I am 30 years old and I am from Toronto.
I am a producer here at Buzzfeed.
Right now, I am working closely with the Buzzfeed News team,
and I'm working on a new show called Trackback.
Follow us on YouTube.
I am so excited for this box, but I really want
to make sure is that,
when I'm curating my box, that I'm getting stuff,
that it has its own Canadian touch to it.
I think it's just a really nice reminder
to take a little bit of time out of your busy day
to just go do something really nice for a stranger.
- [Narrator] Each box can be decorated in 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.
- So we're here, I'm probably gonna find some skincare.
I got Ryan with me, say hey.
I hope these are like thoughtful gifts,
of things that I like, but that she'll also like.
- So it's shopping day,
I'm here with my coworker Layla.
Gonna find some goodies for my mystery unboxing pal.
- Yay!
(cheerful music)
- This is the good stuff.
- Got the first present.
- [Layla] What's in the mystery bag?
- You'll have to watch this video to find out.
(cheerful music)
- Sorry, Canadians really do say sorry a lot.
Sorry, sorry tree.
- [Destinee] All right, my box is done!
It's time to send it, ahhh!
(upbeat music)
So my package is finally here!
I'm so excited!
(screams)
My box!
- [Woman] Delivery! (Liza laughs)
- She even decorated the outside of the package.
- Like I don't know why it's not opening.
- This is--
- So much paper!
Oh, I see pink!
Awwww, I already love this box so much!
- This is so thoughtful.
Mom, step your game up.
- Awww, it's so cute.
- Ooooooooh!
Yo, I got a new card!
Hey Destinee, as the card says, hello from Toronto.
I've had so much fun putting this box together for you,
and I hope you enjoy every single item.
You deserve them all.
Perhaps our paths will cross one day in a BuzzFeed office.
X-O-X
(upbeat music)
Ketchup?
Okay.
- Ketchup chips!
Ketchup chips are really popular in Canada.
I got two bags.
She can enjoy one and maybe share the other
with her other BuzzFeed colleagues.
- Let me know what your BuzzFeed coworkers think
of this Canadian chip flavor.
Pure Canadian goodness.
(chuckles)
What is this, what is it?
Oooh, child!
What did you send me?
Also, a sock, thank you.
Maple syrup!
- This is so Canadian,
but I just had to get some maple syrup.
- Oooh, and I bet you this a good one too.
- Canada Grade A 100% pure maple syrup.
- Just look, it ain't all thick, like we used to.
Look at that, look at that.
I'm definitely gonna make pancakes now.
I don't know how to, but I'mma make 'em.
- You are loved always.
Oooh, biscoffs!
- So one of my favorite all-time snacks.
- I often forget these here in Canada.
- These are like on every Delta flight that I've ever taken.
They have these cookies, and they're so delicious.
- Oh my God, that is so delicious.
- I wanted to get her a little something
that was like travel but snacky.
- Thank you for my snack!
I love it so much.
(upbeat music)
- Ooh, we gotta box that says maple.
(laughs)
Bite Beauty, a lip mask?
- Her cosmetic item is this agave lip mask from Bite.
- I didn't know those things existed.
- This is a lip mask that is like
super super super hydrating and nourishing on the lips.
And I got the flavor in maple.
(paper rips)
- Sweet Spirit leave-in conditioner.
That's what I'm talking about.
- I got her this Innersense.
I think anybody can use like a little extra moisture
in their hair.
(spraying noises)
Ahhhhh, it's Gloss Bomb by Rihanna!
- [Destinee] The gag is I've never seen her wear anything
of a bold color lip, so I went
with this like very natural lip gloss.
Plus, I stan by Fenty.
I'm face brought to you by Fenty.
- I'm so excited!
Okay, I'm trying this right now.
I love it.
(upbeat music)
- Ahhh, look how adorable this box is!
From one queen to another, tag me on your Instagram
when you rock these.
Look at these!
- So for the fashion item, I fell in love
with these right away.
These are cute!
Should I get these for her?
She's so powerful and so serene and so calm,
and I don't know, I just think she would rock them.
- They're so cute!
I'm so excited!
The thing is I always wanted like some dangly earrings
but I was afraid to step outside my comfort zone.
And I was wanted something like graphic and bold like this.
I love these, I love these so much.
- Something as cute and extra as you!
How did she know I was so extra?
(gasps)
These are so cute!
Look at these earrings!
- [Destinee] All up and down her Instagram,
she's like in a swimsuit at some beach or tanning somewhere,
so I got her little starfish earrings.
- Should I put them on?
No, I love you too much to put them on now.
Yeah, I'm just gonna put them on now.
(upbeat music)
- Life gets pretty crazy, and often,
we forget to take care of ourselves,
so enjoy this item and remember you are the bomb.
Ooh, ooh, it's a bath bomb!
- So I got this coconut and lavender bath bomb.
Full tub halfway with warm water, remove packaging,
drop bomb under running water, continue to fill tub,
get naked, get in, relax, you've earned this.
So Destinee, you earn this.
- I think I don't even wanna use this.
I just wanna have it sit at my desk,
so I can pick it up and sniff it.
(excited noises)
Is this a face mask?
Green tea water bomb.
- It's just a really cool, like, really really hydrating
green tea mask for your face.
So a little bit of a theme going on.
Best when applied with Netflix.
(excited noises)
It's a mask.
- [Destinee] So for her skincare,
I wanted to get her this, I don't even know
how you pronounce it, Boscia?
It's a charcoal face mask, and I swear and live by it.
Talking about, cleans you straight out.
- I think I'm gonna try this like tonight
or like before my night out.
- [Man] Right now?
- No, not right now!
- [Man] Now you got to get the mask on.
- No, this mask is gonna be for later
when I'm like hanging out with my cat
and watching Netflix.
Love it, love it, love it
(upbeat music)
- Okay, this is my first Open Later.
For when you need that extra boost of energy,
whether it's before the gym, after work,
or first thing in the morning.
This is one of my favorite things ever.
Hope you enjoy!
(gasps)
- Open after a long night out.
That sounds like fun and trouble.
- For when you want to get deep into Netflix.
Oh, that's every single day.
- Open when you're homesick.
Oh, I'm kind of like low-key always a bit homesick.
- I'm really stoked about opening my For Later gifts.
I am thrilled about this box.
- I got my lip gloss on, I got my earrings on,
and I got this great new box full of other boxes
and other cute stuff.
Thank you!
(upbeat music)
- I've got my Ketchup-flavored Lays.
- That's nasty as hell.
I will say it tastes just like ketchup.
- I'm a fan of these.
- Just on my way to work and I'm gonna
have some Biscoff for breakfast.
And it's a damn good breakfast.
- I'm gonna open my first, my first goodie.
What is it, Deep Waters?
Humblebee candle?
- For my mystery item number one,
it is a soy candle called Deep Waters.
And I figured that when she wants
to get like deep into Netflix,
she can just light a candle, relax.
- I love you!
I love Smarties, ooh, coffee crisps.
- So I just got off FaceTime with my family,
it's a perfect time to open this box,
the Open When You're Homesick box, so.
(gasps)
This makes me almost want to cry.
I got these things, these like
little Filipino candies called Polvoron.
- [Destinee] I wanted this to be like when she's homesick
and misses home because she says she's Filipino.
- It's this coconut-kind of
toasted rice dessert treat thingy.
Thank you!
That was such a such a such a sweet present.
I had no idea what to expect.
- It's pretty early in the morning,
and I gotta get to work,
so I'm gonna open my When I Need An Extra Boost of Energy.
(paper ripping)
Matcha Ninja raw organic fuel.
All this stuff it comes with.
- The one thing I do know about Destinee is
that she goes to the gym a lot,
so I got her this Matcha Ninja.
It is raw organic fuel,
and it was also actually founded in Canada as well.
- I was never even really a tea drinker
but this is actually really good.
- I messed up and I forgot
to open my After a Night Out gift.
So it's the morning after, and I'm gonna do it right now.
Green coconut and activated charcoal cleansing balm.
- [Destinee] Another thing I swear by is
this Shea Moisture Green Coconut
Purifying and Hydrating Cleansing Balm.
So when she goes out, she can just take her make-up off
and this will do the rest of the deed.
- I'm literally gonna go use this right now.
I need to purify myself.
(laughs)
My face is looking real cleansed.
- My weekend has come to an end,
so I'm going to put on this good old face mask
and try out this de-tangler.
There's so much juice left over in this
that I could probably honestly use this again.
I feel very hydrated and clean.
Okay, so I was gonna call it a night
now that my hair is hydrated and my face is hydrated.
But then I thought Destinee, you can hydrate your lips.
That does feel really good.
Well, I think I'm all set then.
- Hello, I'm at the office.
And I'm wearing my new earrings.
I'm just about to try my new Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb
in the color of Fussy.
It's official, this is my new Fenty Beauty gloss.
I will only be wearing.
Hey Jeff!
- Hm.
- Do you think a star was born?
- No.
- Wow, someone's being real fussy right now.
- Y'all notice anything different?
- I love those earrings, they're so cute.
- I'm obsessed with your earrings.
- My final thoughts for all of this is
that I absolutely adore Liza's box.
There were like things and flowers
and popping out everywhere.
- One of my favorite parts of this whole experience was
the personalized notes.
I wanna make sure I start giving more,
whether it's like verbally or on a note or something,
I definitely want to make sure
that I am leaving cute notes
and giving more confidence to people.
- I feel like I made a friend out of this.
I even got to wear her earrings out
to a little party that I went to
and I was like I never party.
And everybody that day was like your earrings, my God!
So you know, thanks sis!
