Meredith Marks may be known as the ice queen, but she always brings the heat when it comes to identifying quality products. In this episode of #ExpensiveTasteTest, ‘The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’ star admits she’s cautiously optimistic about her skills as she sniffs bath bombs (does one really have THC in it?) and confidently spots the pricier caviar with just a glance—though they’re *definitely* not Meredith Marks Caviar ♀️. From claiming that sunglasses are just sunglasses (even if one pair is over $600 cheaper) to showcasing her potato chip expertise, Meredith proves she knows her stuff.

00:00Very salty, like extremely salty.
00:06I might not be able to get my rings on tomorrow.
00:08Hi, I'm Meredith Marks,
00:11and this is Expensive Taste Test with Cosmo.
00:15In terms of luxury goods, I think I have expensive taste.
00:19I mean, I'm cautiously optimistic
00:21that I'm gonna be really good at it.
00:23♪ Ba-ba-ba-ba-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da-da ♪
00:28Okay, here we have two bath bombs.
00:31For those of you who don't know, the bath is my thing.
00:34It's my favorite place to spend my time.
00:37This one is made from a mold that has, like, leaves on it.
00:42I mean, maybe this has, like, THC in it.
00:46Right?
00:48Cause it does look like it could be a cannabis leaf maybe.
00:51I don't know.
00:52And this one is more like a psychedelic,
00:57tie-dye kind of vibe.
01:00I mean, I would probably use either.
01:03I like the smell of the Maybe Weed one better.
01:10It's a little milder.
01:12This one's a little too strong for me.
01:15So I'm going with this one.
01:20Oh, see?
01:22♪ Ba, ba, ba-ba-ba ♪
01:25♪ Ba-ba-da, ba ♪
01:28So, here we have two hats
01:30with what looks like a fox pom-pom.
01:35This one I think is raccoon,
01:36I think this one is fox.
01:38And I think this is a cashmere wool blend.
01:43This one might be 100% cashmere
01:46or maybe a higher percentage.
01:48So, I think this one has a higher
01:50Count on the cashmere.
01:52The fox pom-pom is going to be a more expensive pom-pom
01:57than the raccoon, but it's pretty insignificant.
02:00Unless this might be faux and that might be the issue
02:03and this is real.
02:04This is real for sure.
02:06This, I'm not 100% sure if it's real or faux.
02:10I think this one is more expensive.
02:12Oh, I stink.
02:16$35 for this one?
02:19Everybody should buy this, like $35, wow.
02:28So here we have two glasses of sparkling wine,
02:32perhaps it's champagne, I'm not sure.
02:34I don't know where it's from,
02:35but we're going to taste them and see.
02:37This one looks like maybe a drop more pink,
02:40but they look pretty close.
02:42I don't have any incline without tasting these
02:44of which one would be more expensive.
02:46So let's give it a go.
02:50This is nice.
02:52It's dry, it's not too fruity.
02:54This is a little more of a yellow, golden kind of tone,
02:58whereas this one seems to have a little more pink to it.
03:04This one might be like a glass of sugar
03:05for some reason, I have a feeling.
03:12This one is not sweet either,
03:14but it has a little more harsh of an aftertaste to it.
03:17This one's a little smoother.
03:23I'd have to go with this one.
03:25I don't drink a ton of sparkling wine
03:27because the acidity is a little bit of an issue for me,
03:31so I might not be as expert on this,
03:32but I think I'm a lap.
03:37Boo!
03:38Oh well.
03:40♪ Ba ba ba da ba da ♪
03:42♪ Ba ba da ba da da ♪
03:45Okay, we've got potato chips here.
03:47I don't eat a lot of junk food,
03:49but this is actually one of the things I do enjoy.
03:53Oh no, let's see, I'm gonna start with the one
03:55that I think is gonna be better.
04:00Does this have like a hint of truffle to it?
04:06Okay.
04:08These are great.
04:09Let's see how we do here.
04:14So this one, it just,
04:16it tastes like it's a little more processed.
04:19It doesn't taste like it's just a fresh sliced potato
04:22that's been fried.
04:24Whereas this one has like a little hint of truffle to it.
04:29It tastes like it was, you know, hand cut and fried.
04:33It doesn't taste real processed to me.
04:35So I'm going with this one.
04:39I know my chips.
04:41Apparently better than my champagnes.
04:42Ha ha ha.
04:49So here we have two different perfumes.
04:53This one's in a shorter bottle and clear.
04:57And we're going to smell them.
05:00Oh, there we go.
05:01The cap's a little tight.
05:02Okay.
05:03So this seems to be a little bit of a heavier bottle.
05:07You can see like the glass at the bottom is thicker.
05:11And I mean, they feel very close in weight,
05:14but this is obviously larger.
05:16So I think this is a little bit of nicer packaging.
05:26Okay.
05:26This is not too fruity,
05:31which is positive,
05:33but it's going to take a second.
05:34I'm going to spray the other one on this arm
05:36while we wait for a moment.
05:45Ooh.
05:47This has a very unusual scent to it.
05:51Let that one air out for a second too.
05:59This one's more expensive.
06:00Okay.
06:10So here we have two different kinds of caviar
06:13with some blinis for me to try it on.
06:15I can probably tell you which one is more expensive
06:18without even tasting it, just by looking at it,
06:21because I do know caviar pretty well.
06:31Okay.
06:32It's clean.
06:33It's definitely a good caviar.
06:36It's not Meredith Marks caviar,
06:39but it's very good.
06:41Let's try the other side.
06:50Okay.
06:52Very salty.
06:54Like extremely salty.
06:57I might not be able to get my rings on tomorrow.
07:01You can see that it's like a larger size ball.
07:06It's not as black.
07:08This one's much smaller.
07:10There's not really much oil to it, you know,
07:12and it kind of just is mealy more than anything.
07:16This is a more expensive one.
07:22That one I could have confirmed on my own.
07:23I mean, that salt is a lot of salt.
07:26I should have taken a smaller bite.
07:31♪ Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba ♪
07:34Some sunglasses here.
07:36So these are kind of like a beige-y,
07:40almost like a, I mean, obviously they're plastic,
07:42but it's like almost a mother-of-pearl vibe
07:46with these couple of rings going through the sides,
07:49making them a little funky.
07:51Different on this side than on that side.
07:54And these are orange.
08:02I don't see a huge difference here on the quality
08:06because, I don't know, sunglasses are sunglasses,
08:10but I do think like the way these are hinged
08:13is really nice and the design is pretty.
08:18So I'm just gonna go with the orange for kicks
08:23because I really don't know.
08:27Oh, yay!
08:28♪ Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba ♪
08:34Here we go, snow globes.
08:36This is very fitting for Salt Lake City.
08:41This one's way more snowy,
08:44but I think this one lights up.
08:48This is obviously larger, a lot less glitter.
08:52This one twists and turns in the center and lights up.
08:57This one does not.
08:59But this hardware on the top looks very plastic cheap.
09:06And this bottom does not exactly seem very high-end.
09:12This, even though it's smaller and doesn't light up,
09:15better snow.
09:17And I don't know, sometimes things that spin
09:20just take away the luxury of it all.
09:23I'm going with this one.
09:24I think this one is more expensive.
09:29Yay!
09:31So I got six out of eight correct.
09:34I strive for perfection,
09:35so I'm a little disappointed in myself.
09:37But maybe next time.
09:41Tune in for Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
09:43on Peacock and Bravo on Wednesday nights.
