00:00 $590! You know how much that is in rands.
00:03 Hello, it's Tyler and I'm playing
00:05 expensive taste test with Cosmo.
00:08 I think I'll be good.
00:11 I think I have expensive taste, but we'll see.
00:14 We'll see. Let's go. Let's rock.
00:16 (upbeat music)
00:19 There's two clutch bags over here.
00:24 I'm gonna go with this one.
00:26 There's some imperfections on this clutch.
00:30 There's a backwards sequence.
00:32 Hmm. Maybe that means something.
00:35 And I don't know if an expensive bag will stay chic.
00:37 Okay.
00:39 It's a fairly smooth zip.
00:46 This one.
00:47 It's woven.
00:51 Yeah. It's like silky, baby pink.
00:55 I don't know how to open it.
00:56 Okay.
00:59 I think the chain gave it away.
01:04 It feels very light.
01:06 Okay. I'm just going to say this is the most.
01:09 I'm just going to say this one.
01:12 Woo! Okay. Okay. Yeah.
01:17 - Would you wear that?
01:18 - I think I could rock it.
01:20 Like, it's cute.
01:21 (upbeat music)
01:24 Moisturizer.
01:28 I'm going to start with this one.
01:29 This one is very heavy.
01:31 It's very plain.
01:32 It's like matte, which is giving me chic.
01:36 It smells very, like, woodsy.
01:41 Okay. It feels very light,
01:45 but it gives me a nice glow.
01:47 And I needed this because my hands were dry
01:49 before this shoot.
01:50 Then there's this one.
01:52 This is a nice wooden lid.
01:53 Okay. There's a very small peephole.
01:58 You want to smell?
01:59 I prefer the smell.
02:02 Fresh.
02:03 Okay. This is actually thick.
02:05 I always look for the thickest lotion.
02:13 Like, I have this lotion that I use
02:15 that I get at home and it's so thick.
02:17 Like, it takes an hour to rub in.
02:19 And that's my favorite type of lotion.
02:21 Very thick, thick, thick, thick, thick.
02:23 But this one is giving me, like, luxury.
02:27 Okay. I'm going to say this one is more expensive.
02:30 Yay! Okay, okay, okay, okay.
02:35 We have chocolate.
02:42 I do like chocolate,
02:45 so let's see if I have expensive chocolate taste.
02:48 It's very slender, sleek,
02:50 but it kind of does not look like chocolate.
02:51 This kind of looks like a toy,
02:54 if that makes sense, but let's taste.
02:56 Tastes like Easter Bunny chocolate.
03:02 I know my chocolates.
03:04 Okay, this is this one.
03:05 This one is more thick.
03:07 It's like a manly chocolate.
03:10 So let's taste this one.
03:18 This one's more expensive.
03:19 Ha!
03:23 What? This one's more expensive.
03:25 Well, I'd rather get the $5 bar.
03:31 Get this as a bargain, I'm telling you.
03:33 Okay, we have some heels.
03:43 And I'm going to start with this one
03:45 because it's screaming my name here in this corner.
03:47 It feels light.
03:49 There's like feathers attached.
03:51 I want to see if it's attached well.
03:54 Seems to be.
03:55 Heels that are cheaper have this type of sizing,
03:59 like that small circle with the size there.
04:02 Hells no.
04:04 I would not wear this.
04:06 Okay, this one is cute.
04:08 It's a little mini heel.
04:10 Sleek at the bottom.
04:13 There's like thin straps,
04:14 like it's giving class, which I like.
04:16 [upbeat music]
04:19 This one actually might be more expensive,
04:25 only because this looks like actual leather.
04:28 Oh, wait.
04:29 Wait.
04:32 I think this one's more expensive.
04:37 This one.
04:37 This one actually smells more expensive.
04:43 - Do you prefer performing in heels or flats?
04:46 - I love performing in distressed boots
04:48 with a little heel and then flats,
04:51 but stilettos, hey, I need to still get to that level.
04:54 [upbeat music]
04:57 Two pearl necklaces.
05:02 I'm not going to jinx it,
05:03 but I feel like I'm going to get it right
05:05 because my mother makes jewelry.
05:06 If I get it wrong, my mother's going to have me,
05:08 I'm telling you.
05:09 My mother makes all those cool necklaces,
05:11 the rosary type necklaces.
05:13 Like my mother makes all of them.
05:14 Those pieces are my favorite.
05:16 This one.
05:17 I think I can already tell.
05:20 I'm trying to look at the bead,
05:21 if there's like scratches,
05:23 but hey, I might make my mother disappointed.
05:26 There's kind of like a logo on this clasp.
05:29 So I'm thinking, hmm,
05:31 my guts are telling me it's this one.
05:35 Hey, this one is reflective.
05:37 It's kind of heavy.
05:39 Like it was made better.
05:41 Yeah, this one is heavy.
05:44 And then this one is not.
05:46 This one is more expensive.
05:47 [upbeat music]
05:50 Okay.
05:53 This is more than 48.
05:54 - 590.
05:55 - $590.
05:57 You know how much that is in the rents?
05:58 Yo, we can buy a house with that amount.
06:02 I'm not spending that, I'm sorry.
06:03 [upbeat music]
06:07 Okay, it looks like water, obviously.
06:12 I'm gonna examine.
06:15 Hi guys, it looks the same.
06:18 This one has some bubbles.
06:20 Okay, let me taste this one first.
06:21 I don't know.
06:31 I don't know, the bubbles look fancy.
06:37 [laughs]
06:38 I don't know, but I'm just saying this one.
06:41 [upbeat music]
06:43 Woo, okay, okay, okay.
06:45 One point.
06:47 It was so crazy, my song "Water"
06:48 went number one on the Applebee's charts.
06:51 Come on.
06:52 I'm just so happy.
06:53 I'm just too happy that people are loving the song.
06:56 It's crazy.
06:58 [upbeat music]
07:00 I think it's chicken nuggets.
07:05 So I'm gonna start with this one.
07:07 There's a bunch of different shapes and sizes.
07:10 It's telling me that it was actual chicken.
07:13 Okay.
07:13 I did a ton of barbecue sauce.
07:17 Okay.
07:18 It's like water.
07:19 Mm, it was dry.
07:24 Yo.
07:26 Tasted good.
07:27 Let me taste this one now.
07:28 All of these nuggets look like they made from a stencil.
07:31 [laughs]
07:33 The exact same shape.
07:35 Come on.
07:40 This is McDonald's.
07:42 This one is giving me,
07:43 you don't know what's in this mix.
07:44 I think this one is more expensive.
07:47 [upbeat music]
07:50 I knew it.
07:51 [claps]
07:52 I love Nando's,
07:56 but the Nando's in South Africa,
07:59 love, love, love, love, love.
08:00 Like it's just so saucy and juicy.
08:01 Like I tried it in Europe,
08:03 but the Nando's over there is very dry.
08:05 So South African Nando's, the best.
08:08 [upbeat music]
08:11 Perfume.
08:15 Okay.
08:17 Starting with this one.
08:18 This one's very heavy.
08:20 This might be a trick because this looks more fancy.
08:22 Maybe it's not the most expensive one.
08:24 A big diamond.
08:26 That smells nice.
08:33 It's very fruity.
08:35 This one's lighter.
08:37 [upbeat music]
08:39 This look is almost like my grandma.
08:41 If I'm being very honest.
08:43 I don't know,
08:44 'cause sometimes grandma scents are the expensive ones.
08:46 This one felt lighter.
08:49 No, wait.
08:50 Hey, now you're confusing me.
08:54 Okay, I'm gonna say this one.
08:55 Hey, I knew it.
09:00 [claps]
09:01 Okay, well.
09:04 My grandma is expensive tasting.
09:06 I think that's a good score.
09:09 It's a pass, it's a pass.
09:11 Thank you so much for watching my expensive taste test.
09:14 Go listen to "Water."
09:15 Go watch the music video
09:17 and make sure to stay tuned for my EP
09:18 that's coming this year.
