Normani always gravitates towards the priciest items in a store, but can she differentiate between cheap and pricey items in our #ExpensiveTasteTest? From face-snatching facial rollers to leather purses lacking the leather scent, Normani sniffs, tastes and listens to items to uncover what’s fake and what’s fancy. The multi-platinum singer-songwriter is put to the test, convinced that crunchier pickles should cost more and that the earthier the green juice tastes, the more organic and expensive it must be. Watch as Normani shocks us by preferring the $100 purse over the $700 one and even attempts to *hear* her vegan ice cream to help gauge its cost.

00:01 Why am I trying to hear it?
00:04 Weighing out all my options here.
00:05 Hey, what's up y'all?
00:06 I'm Nirmani and I'm playing
00:07 Expensive Taste Tests with Cosmo.
00:10 I would say that I have expensive taste.
00:14 I don't know what it is.
00:15 Anytime I go into a store,
00:16 I always end up picking the most expensive thing
00:20 in the store.
00:21 But I don't even mean it.
00:23 Somehow it just happens.
00:25 (upbeat music)
00:28 ♪ Da da da da da da ♪
00:30 So here we have face rollers.
00:34 I really love these.
00:35 I should use mine more.
00:37 I'm gonna do it at the same time.
00:39 The left side is definitely colder.
00:43 That's getting straight from the earth.
00:46 This kinda looks like an artificial,
00:52 like they were going for this,
00:56 but didn't execute all the way.
00:58 This is giving great value, version of this.
01:03 I think this is it.
01:04 This is the most expensive.
01:06 Yes!
01:10 One of my favorite parts of my skincare regimen.
01:14 But I need to do it at home more.
01:16 Like I need to be more consistent, for sure.
01:18 It snatches your face.
01:20 Real good.
01:23 ♪ Ba ba da ba ♪
01:25 ♪ Ba ba da ba da ♪
01:28 This is gonna be tough.
01:30 This is gonna be very tough.
01:31 This feels like leather.
01:33 This feels like pretty legit leather to me.
01:37 But you see where I'm conflicted are the stones,
01:42 because the stones on this purse is just giving quality.
01:46 Like it's just elevation, you know?
01:49 (upbeat music)
01:51 No, this is heavy duty right here.
01:55 I've seen this.
01:56 This is a heavy duty zipper.
01:58 Okay.
01:59 Ooh, but this one.
02:00 Leather.
02:04 It don't have that leather smell.
02:10 It's this one.
02:11 This one's more expensive.
02:12 No, but the stones!
02:18 This one's 109 and this one is 700.
02:20 I'm going with the $100 one.
02:24 ♪ Ba ba da ba ♪
02:27 ♪ Ba ba da ba da ♪
02:31 So this right here is liquid lipstick.
02:33 Let's get into it.
02:34 First, let's look at the packaging.
02:37 I mean, this has a matte finish
02:40 and this one has a shine to it.
02:41 I feel like that would be pretty expensive to do, wouldn't it?
02:46 (upbeat music)
02:48 Hold up, hold up.
02:50 You see how that just came out like that?
02:53 Did you hear the difference?
02:59 Let me see.
03:00 Very creamy.
03:01 Ah, okay.
03:08 I'm just trying to see if the consistency,
03:12 they're pretty much the same.
03:14 (upbeat music)
03:16 This one has a scent, but this one doesn't have a scent.
03:24 Apparently with cheaper products,
03:27 try to overcompensate by making it smell good
03:30 to make you think that it's more expensive
03:34 than it actually is.
03:35 This one has to be more expensive.
03:37 Okay.
03:42 ♪ Ba ba da ba da ♪
03:44 ♪ Ba ba da ba da ♪
03:47 This is green juice.
03:50 They're very different in color.
03:52 Let me taste them.
03:52 Ugh.
03:58 Tastes like the ground.
04:00 Yeah.
04:03 They could put a little celery or an apple and lemon in it.
04:08 This one's good.
04:11 This one has apple in it and lemon.
04:13 Mm.
04:15 Mm.
04:19 Why are they different in color though?
04:21 Like this one's cloudier than this one.
04:23 I'm thinking that this one is cheaper
04:29 and this one is more expensive.
04:31 This is organic.
04:32 This is...
04:33 Yeah, this is more expensive.
04:41 Yay!
04:42 Mm.
04:49 I like this one better.
04:51 ♪ Ba ba da ba da ♪
04:53 ♪ Ba ba da ba da ♪
04:56 We have sneakers right here.
04:58 The rubber on the left shoe feels very durable.
05:05 This one feels a bit sandy at the bottom.
05:08 This one feels a little cheaper at the bottom.
05:11 I'm not gonna lie.
05:12 Okay, that's just based on the bottom.
05:14 And then...
05:17 Mm-mm.
05:19 I would probably wear these.
05:22 These not so much, but I feel like these would be good
05:26 if you're trying to get an extra couple inches.
05:29 This one is actually,
05:35 this one is better than this one though.
05:37 Like I'm getting more of a scent
05:39 from this shoe than this shoe.
05:41 (upbeat music)
05:43 But then they have some pretty intricate knitting
05:48 right here, which could add to the cost
05:51 and expense of the shoe.
05:52 The simplicity of these just gives wealth.
05:55 I think I'm gonna go with these.
05:57 Yes, okay.
06:00 You know, I got the momentum now.
06:04 ♪ Ba ba da ba da ♪
06:07 ♪ Ba ba da ba da ♪
06:10 I'm really excited about this one
06:11 'cause I am a pickle girl through and through.
06:15 They smell sweet too.
06:16 These are lighter in color.
06:22 That's crunchy.
06:34 That's crunchy.
06:38 (upbeat music)
06:40 They have seeds in this one too, like additional seasoning.
06:48 This one's more expensive.
07:00 The crunch is giving it away.
07:02 These are more expensive for sure.
07:04 Yes.
07:07 (laughing)
07:09 So we have one of my favorites, which is vegan ice cream.
07:17 This one is very creamy versus this one.
07:22 I don't know, it almost feels like it doesn't melt as quick
07:25 and it's also lighter in color.
07:27 Why am I trying to hear it?
07:32 Weighing out all my options here.
07:34 (laughing)
07:36 That one has a lot of air in it.
07:40 Hold on.
07:43 This one kind of look like blue belt a little bit.
07:45 This one's icy.
07:49 The consistency is icy.
07:52 The quality in this is giving cream, is giving smooth.
07:55 I think this is more expensive.
07:56 (bell dinging)
07:59 This one's more expensive.
08:02 I am...
08:04 Beats me.
08:08 Now we have necklaces, which are both Gemini necklaces.
08:18 If you didn't know, I'm a Gemini.
08:20 Okay, let's see.
08:22 Ooh, these are cute.
08:25 This looks like it has a little bit of a reflective pearl.
08:29 This is really pretty.
08:33 Let me look at this one.
08:34 Okay.
08:36 Let's see which one is...
08:40 Trying to see if one is heavier than the other one.
08:42 This one feels heavier.
08:43 There's diamonds along the perimeter here.
08:48 Oh, also, it spins.
08:52 Okay.
08:54 This one's a bit more basic
08:59 and doesn't have as much embellishment
09:02 or diamonds along the perimeter.
09:04 Let's look at the gold.
09:07 I know sometimes rose gold is more expensive
09:11 than yellow gold.
09:13 That's what I wear.
09:14 I normally wear rose gold.
09:15 Is it actual gold or is it dipped in gold?
09:18 I think that this is dipped in gold.
09:20 I don't know if this is real.
09:23 This one's more expensive.
09:28 Yes!
09:29 When it's too shiny sometimes, it's dipped.
09:35 It's not, this is not real.
09:37 I think I did really good 'cause I got six right.
09:40 I did bomb if I do say so myself.
09:42 I have expensive taste.
09:44 We knew this, what?
09:46 Thanks for watching me play Expensive Taste Test
09:49 with Cosmo and be on the lookout
09:51 for my debut album, Dopamine.
09:54 I still can't believe that I'm able to say that.
