00:00 This is my child.
00:01 This is my daughter, Wednesday.
00:03 She's having a little cry because she needs
00:05 constant attention all the time.
00:07 Hi, I'm Ashnikko and I'm playing
00:09 Expensive Taste Test with Cosmo.
00:12 I think, yes, I do have expensive taste.
00:14 I think when it comes to like sweets, beauty products,
00:17 I think I know what I'm talking about.
00:19 Maybe I sound a little bit cocky now
00:22 and so I'm gonna do bad, probably.
00:25 (upbeat music)
00:28 So we've got some wigs here in my shade.
00:33 I really would like to think that I know wigs
00:35 because I have worn so many wigs throughout my career.
00:39 I've worn bad ones and good ones,
00:41 so hopefully I know the difference between the two.
00:45 Okay, this is feeling super soft and lush.
00:50 I'm getting real hair.
00:53 Oh, (beep)
00:57 Needle both at the same time.
00:59 Oh, oh, no, yeah, no, no, no, no.
01:02 I, yeah, no, it's what I thought.
01:04 Okay, I mean, but this one does have a fringe.
01:08 Bangs, I've been spending too much time in the UK.
01:11 This one feels more synthetic.
01:13 The part, it's a little too perfect and too spaced out.
01:17 It sounds a little crunchier than natural hair.
01:20 It is soft, but it's a little crunchy.
01:22 There we go.
01:24 There's lace all the way around this one
01:26 and it is a really fine lace.
01:29 This is the more expensive wig.
01:30 I told you, I know wigs.
01:37 I was a little too confident, actually,
01:39 so I would like to scale my confidence back.
01:41 I did get that right,
01:42 but I would like to scale it back a little.
01:44 If there's one thing about me is I love a hat,
01:50 case in point.
01:52 Okay, crocheted hats.
01:54 Let's give it a feel.
01:55 This one is a sturdy hat.
01:57 The yarn itself is made of more natural fibers
02:02 than this one.
02:05 Feels like a pure cotton.
02:07 I love to crochet, so I know my yarn.
02:10 I did say I was gonna scale back my confidence,
02:13 but I do know my yarn.
02:14 Yeah, I'd say the yarn maybe has some polyester in there.
02:19 It is cuter.
02:20 I do like this one more, but I'm gonna say this one.
02:24 (bell dings)
02:27 When I was a kid, I used to crochet little animals,
02:30 and now I just crochet everything I wanna wear.
02:33 I just like to keep myself busy.
02:35 I like to do little DIYs, little crafts.
02:38 I really do not fuck with artificial plants,
02:45 but we're here.
02:47 I'm filling the bowl first
02:52 because, ooh, it's plastic pretending to be stone.
02:56 This one's doing a lot.
02:59 This is doing a little too much.
03:02 It's not stone, it's plastic.
03:03 There's a lot of sound involved
03:09 in me choosing between the two.
03:11 Okay, this is concrete.
03:14 There was a bit more thought
03:15 in choosing the color palette of this one.
03:18 Someone was looking at this with the tapestry of it all
03:22 in mind, and this one was kind of just like,
03:26 just throw it in, let's go.
03:29 I mean, it's the sound test.
03:32 I'm gonna go with this one.
03:34 (buzzer buzzes)
03:38 Like I said, I don't love artificial plants,
03:43 so that's fine.
03:46 Necklaces.
03:51 (upbeat music)
03:53 I'm just gonna come straight out the gate
03:55 and say I do not like these.
03:56 This one is giving Lady at the Crystal Shop
03:59 who has some really good stories to tell.
04:02 We'll get a house on fire, but I don't like her necklace,
04:07 so that's that on that.
04:08 This one is, it's giving something,
04:14 and we have a feel.
04:16 That is rose quartz, and there is some shell in there
04:21 and some pearls.
04:24 Okay, let me have a feel on this one.
04:26 I'm seeing a lot of plastic beads here.
04:29 Actually, the clasp is a big giveaway.
04:31 Is that silver?
04:33 They're worn by the same person.
04:37 This one has more intricate beadwork.
04:41 Maybe this one, because it has rose quartz.
04:45 (buzzer buzzes)
04:48 See, my personal jewelry tastes are just a bunch
04:51 of teeth and bones and silver and old car parts
04:56 just wrapped around my neck with bits of cloth,
05:01 so it's more of a DIY thing.
05:04 Do I get to eat them?
05:08 I get to have a little taste?
05:11 Decoration alone, this one's doing a thing.
05:14 Someone obviously has technique here.
05:18 There's a smattering of sprinkles.
05:22 They look more like little jelly balls
05:24 as opposed to the classic cheap sprinkle.
05:28 Visually, there's a little something that this has
05:31 that this one just doesn't.
05:32 This one, I'd say they didn't try super hard
05:36 on the decoration.
05:38 I'm gonna taste them first.
05:40 (upbeat music)
05:42 No, that doesn't taste super expensive,
05:47 but I've been wrong before.
05:53 It's heavy, it's got density, it's thick,
05:57 because a really good gluten-free cupcake
06:00 has a thickness to it.
06:03 Wait, let's just do the frosting first.
06:04 Yeah, no, that's thick.
06:06 I can taste the love that someone put into that.
06:09 (upbeat music)
06:12 No way, 'cause the cupcake on this one is better,
06:16 but that one's drier, but the frosting is better.
06:19 I wish I could put the frosting on this one.
06:24 It's this one.
06:29 (bell dings)
06:33 Yeah, but this one's better.
06:36 You're paying for weight here, not for taste.
06:39 Sorry.
06:40 (upbeat music)
06:43 Oh my God, I (beep) hate scotch.
06:46 They look exactly the same.
06:47 They look identical to me.
06:49 I'm more of a glass of red wine,
06:53 green juice type of asshole, so.
06:55 Ooh.
06:59 Wait.
07:05 This one smells way smoother than this one.
07:08 This one hurts the nose.
07:11 I'm gonna have the good one first.
07:13 It's smooth, it didn't hurt me.
07:23 Let me do this one.
07:25 Nah.
07:31 Ooh, I don't like that at all.
07:35 (laughs)
07:38 That one.
07:38 I really just don't like spirits.
07:45 I'm just like, I'm not that type of guy.
07:48 No.
07:50 Next.
07:53 Okay.
08:03 This one has cheap soles.
08:05 When you get a really cheap pair of boots,
08:08 you can smell them.
08:09 You can smell the chemicals.
08:10 These aren't super smelly.
08:13 The inside is a bit smelly.
08:17 Oh, they've got the same zippers.
08:20 The leather itself feels very flimsy.
08:23 This little metal embellishment is hanging on by a thread.
08:31 The soles are a bit sturdier.
08:34 The tread is cheap though.
08:39 Zipper test.
08:40 Smooth, smooth zip.
08:43 Ooh, ooh, these are plastic, not metal.
08:50 This one?
08:59 Vinyl body suits.
09:01 Okay.
09:03 Ooh, material's sticking together, not a good sign.
09:07 And it's falling apart already.
09:09 These are horrendous.
09:12 Okay, solid zip.
09:16 That is smell of chemicals.
09:20 This one, not so much.
09:24 We've got some very cheap clasps here.
09:29 (whistling)
09:30 You're okay.
09:31 This is my child.
09:34 This is my daughter, Wednesday.
09:36 She's having a little cry
09:37 because she needs constant attention all the time.
09:41 Oh, no, no, no, ma'am.
09:43 She just wanted to be off her leash.
09:44 She pretended that she wanted a hug
09:46 and then she faked me out so hard.
09:48 Okay.
09:51 The lines aren't straight down here in the crotch.
09:54 Points off.
09:55 But this one's already falling apart, so.
09:58 These both feel cheap.
10:00 Y'all giving me two cheap things to choose from.
10:04 It's this one.
10:05 (buzzer)
10:09 I should've known.
10:10 It's a vintage piece.
10:11 Is it a vintage piece?
10:13 Damn it.
10:15 I bought this new and it's already ripped.
10:18 (upbeat music)
10:22 I've been so confident about beauty products,
10:25 but now I'm not feeling super confident, actually,
10:28 in my abilities.
10:30 We're flipping up.
10:32 A whole spectrum of color.
10:36 We got a little sparkle situation.
10:39 The packaging has a big old mirror.
10:42 Points for the mirror.
10:44 This one feels a bit lighter and flimsier.
10:50 No mirror.
10:51 There's way more colors.
10:53 Let me do my swatches.
10:55 Feel like Kylie Jenner.
10:58 It's not super pigmented.
11:00 It's kinda powdery.
11:02 Let's try the sparkles.
11:04 Ooh, ooh, flaky.
11:06 Real flaky.
11:07 Okay, once you build it, it's giving a little oil spill.
11:14 It's too dark blue.
11:16 Ooh.
11:18 I did just mix all the colors together,
11:21 but I still, I don't know.
11:23 I don't know about that one.
11:25 Fresh brush.
11:26 I think I'm about to do some damage.
11:28 Let's go for this purple.
11:30 Okay, it's doing something.
11:32 There's a shimmer, there's a shine.
11:34 Let's do green.
11:35 Okay.
11:38 No, no, I don't like that at all.
11:41 Let's try again, let's try pink.
11:43 Oh, God, no.
11:44 The powder itself is a bit finer.
11:48 That one was a bit,
11:49 fit more crumbly.
11:54 I guess I'm just gonna go with packaging.
11:56 (bell dings)
11:58 (beep)
12:00 I came on this pretty cocky,
12:02 and I would like to rescind that.
12:04 But I did get that right, so.
12:06 I feel humbled, for sure, feel humbled.
12:09 The important ones, I got right.
12:12 The other ones, who am I to judge?
12:15 Thank you for watching me play
12:16 Expensive Taste Test with Cosmo.
12:18 I'm Ashnikko, and my album Weed Killer is out now.
