- I had no idea I had such expensive taste.
Oh, what? (shrieks)
I finally did it.
This was tricky.
No!
Hi, I'm Tove Lo,
and I'm doing "Expensive Taste Test" with Cosmo.
(nails tapping)
This table already looks expensive to me,
so let's see how well I do.
Do I think I have expensive taste? I do not.
My stylist would beg to differ. (laughs)
But I think it varies.
I'm not very good at picking expensive things.
Can I take both home?
Is the remote to you?
Oh, wow! (shrieks)
He's humping the table. I can't.
I haven't been around many toys. Is this adorable?
I should definitely take these on tour with me.
This could be my stage dancers.
(toy dog speaking)
Whoa.
Damn.
Wait, don't get the baby outta the way.
Well, I definitely think that.
Okay. Shh, cutie.
They're both very cute.
I feel like this one is slightly simpler,
and just has an on and off switch.
This one just in general have more gadgets,
and the little heart eyes,
and a remote with a bunch of effects.
So my guess is that this is the more expensive one.
Yay!
I was right. Okay.
Maybe I will do well at this. (laughs)
This will be harder for me.
I'm terrible at doing my own makeup,
and I don't have a lot of makeup products.
I just can't really tell. (laughs)
One thing is kind of like how it sits on the skin.
I mean, it's a really nice little holographic,
like, shine there that I like.
Then this one just looks so fun,
with the silver and purple inside it.
Ooh. That's more sparkly.
A combination of these would actually look really good,
on my eyelids, I think.
This one is like really more modest packaging,
and like very compact.
But then it's like, feels very sort of like solid,
when you open and close.
I think the packaging says a lot,
about how expensive something is sometimes.
And maybe just because this packaging,
feels slightly more plastic-ey,
I would say that this one is more expensive,
but then also this like pattern and like, yeah.
The way this is like portrayed is so pretty.
Out of these two, I think with very little confidence,
that this one is the more expensive one.
- [Producer] You are correct.
(Tove Lo gasping)
- I know! (laughs)
As someone who loves to surf, despite not being very good,
I feel like I should be able to figure this out.
This one's thinner.
And like, I don't know, just having this on the inside,
feels kind of weird to me.
Oh no, that's the outside. Mm.
Since I love surfing, I should be an expert on this.
I'm not an expert at surfing. Definitely not.
But I do spend a lot of time out in the water.
And one thing I do know is that when you're surfing,
the zipper needs to be secured, 'cause when you fall off,
which I've done many and many and many times,
it can get undone, which is really annoying,
when you're out on the ocean,
and trying to keep track of your board.
And this one doesn't have that.
But this one does have that thing that secures your zipper.
Based on that,
and based on this material just kind of feeling a bit nicer,
I think this is the more expensive one.
Ah! (laughs)
That would've been really bad if I was wrong.
Huh. This is tricky.
This is when you walk into, like a thrift store,
and you just go blind and get all this stuff,
that just fits you really weirdly. (laughs)
This is very hard for me.
My initial reaction,
is just because this one has more sequins,
it would be more expensive.
But then it also has all the seams, like, out,
there's no like, protective layer.
So maybe that means that it's cheaper,
whereas this one has like a whole layer underneath,
so that your skin won't get scratched.
Let me look at.
This one's 98% polyester and 2% viscose.
I wish that meant something to me, but it doesn't. (laughs)
See, this is where price shouldn't matter,
because they're quite similar.
And that price difference is crazy. (laughs)
I'm gonna go with my instinct,
and say that this is the more expensive one.
- [Producer] You are correct.
- I'm so good at this. (laughs)
This is hilarious,
'cause water really shouldn't have a price.
I guess I just taste? (laughs)
Starting with this one.
Very refreshing. No chlorine taste, so that's good.
Tastes exactly the same. I have no idea.
It's almost slightly colder, which shouldn't matter, but.
This one's like a little sweeter somehow.
I don't even know if I'm making this up in my head,
but I'm just gonna go with this one.
No!
Is this just tap water? And then this is...
See? Tap water's fine.
Initial feeling. Fancier packaging.
But that might just be because I think square shapes,
always look more like, I don't know, expensive.
But let's try.
This feels kind of creepy somehow.
Ooh, nice brush. Even layer.
When I paint my nails, I have no patience.
So if I have to do more than one layer, I'm kind of annoyed.
But that was actually very, very good and easy.
Okay. Let's try you.
Ooh, it's very like, bright and red. I like that.
I very rarely get my nails done.
But when I do, I like to do kind of like a metallic,
or a bright one just 'cause I'm like, I finally did it.
This one was actually pretty easy too,
but little, like holes are popping up,
and I feel like the first one just in general,
has better coverage when I look at it,
but it might also just be the color.
I'm just gonna go with my instinct.
I'm gonna say this is the more expensive one.
- [Producer] You're right!
- Yay!
I had a feeling.
Let me go. Bye. (laughs)
This is interesting. First of all, I really like them both.
Hmm.
Very similar inside.
I'd like the shinier one a little better.
Gonna look at the sole.
This one's very plastic-ey, rubbery,
but they're still very cute.
This is like a harder sole. Or is it?
This one's tricky. This one was really hard to tell.
They're so similar.
I'm gonna go with the shiny ones.
They're the more expensive ones.
Damn! (laughs)
Still winning.
I do not mind a really cheap wine.
I'm like, hefty or poor. It's good.
Start with that one.
It smells kind of blueberry-ish.
I don't know if that's good or bad.
Hmm. Pretty smooth, I think.
Oh my God, that tastes the same to me.
Wine. This is where I'm cheap as (beep).
I don't care about the price.
Sometimes I get fancy and get like an organic orange wine,
but I would say, never more than $20 on a bottle.
I'm gonna go with...
I'm gonna go with that one.
That was full accident.
Full accident that I'm right.
7.99, 49.99.
I mean someone's tricking you.
I always think when they come like this,
with this like, dust on them,
that in general, just feels fancier.
This one has like funny little imprints on it,
which probably is on purpose.
But, let's start with this guy.
That's really nice.
Maybe I should have shown you the inside.
Really smooshy. Almost like a mousse.
Which I feel like is hard to do, maybe.
This is very good.
Okay. This side.
It's gonna be really hard. (laughs)
This one is more bitter and richer. This one's way sweeter.
In general, the sweeter they are,
the less expensive, I think.
When it's more a little bit bitter and richer chocolate,
then it's like more expensive.
So I'm gonna guess this one,
with the little dusted stuff on top.
Yeah. I think that one's more expensive.
- [Producer] You're correct.
Oh my goodness. You did so well.
- Well, that was not that hard. (laughs)
I had no idea I had such expensive taste.
I just didn't know that I was this fancy.
But, I guess.
I think that the hardest for me was the water, obviously,
and the wine.
