RAYE believes her expensive taste is limited to candles, but in #ExpensiveTasteTest will she prove she knows more than just scents? From trying to explain her theory that moist cupcakes should be pricier to her ability for knowing which handbag is giving luxury, watch as the singer and self-proclaimed pretend wine connoisseur sniffs her way through prosecco, perfumes, and mascaras (♀️).

00:00I'm one of those people, you know, you go to a restaurant and they're like,
00:02would you like to taste the wine?
00:04I'm like, yeah, yeah, swirl it around, sniff it and pretend like
00:08I can bloody taste the difference between any of them because I can't.
00:11Hi, I'm Rae and I am playing Expensive Taste Test with Cosmo.
00:18I don't know if I have expensive taste.
00:19I think I do with stuff like candles.
00:21We're going to find out today, I guess.
00:23Yeah, actually, I'm interested to learn that about myself.
00:30We have two bags, silver bags.
00:34This designer is eating because this is really cute, isn't it?
00:41It's just so, like, this is really cute.
00:43I really like this design.
00:46OK, I'm going to really get a really close analysis of the work here.
00:51I'm not a fashion expert at all, jewellery expert, accessories expert.
00:55I'm not, I'm not. I will confess.
00:57This is really nice.
00:59I like it and underneath you've got like a kind of silky-ish bag inside.
01:04It's got kind of like a silk vibe, you know, the small bits.
01:08This is really cute. OK, let me look inside this one.
01:11So this, so how would you hold this?
01:15Like that?
01:17It's very, I don't know if this is giving, do you know what I mean?
01:20Like, no offence again to the people who made this,
01:24but this, this is just like, hey guys, how are you doing?
01:29You know, this is giving like, guys.
01:33OK, wait, let's look inside because inside will tell us a lot.
01:38It's not giving luxury in there, but I don't know.
01:43But from the side, this cannot be more expensive than this.
01:47If it is, that's bonkers.
01:50I'm correct. Yay!
01:55The cheaper one is $115.
01:58This is $115?
02:00$100? Wow.
02:03The other one is $790.
02:05$790, yeah.
02:07OK, I think maybe I have expensive taste in bags then.
02:17We have red velvet cupcakes.
02:19We have, OK, this one, the presentation is really lovely.
02:24We've got a really moist, gorgeous kind of cake.
02:28It is just oozing moisture, which sounds really gross
02:32if I was talking about anything else.
02:33But for cake, that's kind of what you want.
02:36Me personally, I don't like dry cake.
02:39For me, that actually makes me quite upset.
02:42Dry cake.
02:43The presentation of this one isn't as beautiful.
02:46But that being said, sometimes, some bakeries
02:49and some cake chefs and stuff like that,
02:52it's more about the flavour than it is about the presentation.
02:57But what we're going to have to do now is try it.
02:59I had a huge breakfast, so I'm absolutely really full,
03:03but we always make room for dessert.
03:05Let's have a little bite.
03:08I'm going to try and do this elegantly.
03:10I'm not very good at eating posh, but I'm going to try and do this.
03:16Let's try it.
03:19I'm just going to get an even spread of this in this.
03:21Okay, this is really nice.
03:23Because red velvet isn't my number one flavour of cake,
03:25but I would actually finish that.
03:27Can you see in there?
03:29There's some really nice cream in there,
03:31which I appreciate, you know, because you didn't have to do that.
03:35I didn't have to do that because you wouldn't see that buying the cupcake.
03:38It's a surprise.
03:39Respect.
03:41Okay, this one, this I could throw across the room
03:44and it would maintain its shape.
03:46Do you know what I mean?
03:49This is a lot more hard, but you know, let's give it a try.
03:52Okay.
03:57No.
04:00See, I don't really like that one.
04:02You know, it's this one.
04:04It has to be this.
04:07I'm wrong.
04:14I was so sure.
04:17Okay, what's this?
04:22Prosecco champagne?
04:24Prosecco.
04:25Prosecco.
04:25Okay, it's not too early, is it?
04:27Down and both.
04:29Joking.
04:30Okay, so this one's got way more bubbles around the top.
04:34I would say looking at the liquid itself,
04:37this one is giving more expensive.
04:41But I don't know.
04:42I'm one of those people, you know, you go to a restaurant
04:45and they're like, would you like to taste the wine?
04:46I'm like, yeah, yeah.
04:48Swirl it around, sniff it and pretend like
04:50I can bloody taste the difference between any of them
04:53because I can't.
04:55Let me have a little smell.
04:59Okay, it smells like alcohol.
05:06Okay, that has hints of apple juice.
05:10I'm not sure.
05:12I feel like you need to come and try this
05:14because it definitely has hints of apple juice.
05:15I know I'm not going crazy.
05:17Let me try this.
05:23That tastes nice.
05:25Nicer.
05:27It'd be hilarious if this is like the £10 bottle would say a lot about me.
05:34This one just feels more expensive,
05:37but let me just try again just to be safe.
05:39It can't be this one.
05:40It's got to be this.
05:44I was wrong.
05:45Oh, sh**.
05:53We have a pair, two pairs of red shoes.
05:58Okay.
05:59The material on both shoes is a kind of suede-y,
06:05kind of vibe.
06:07Okay, this is interesting.
06:08This is interesting.
06:10So underneath of the shoe,
06:12this is definitely plastic.
06:16This is...
06:18These are way more comfy.
06:20This is definitely for,
06:23I'd say, if I'm allowed to say, a more mature demographic
06:26because of the height of the heel and the support of the shoes.
06:30Very fit, very comfortable.
06:33And the support of the shoe is very thick.
06:35So I think this is kind of aimed at more mature women.
06:39One more quick look at the inside of the shoe.
06:42I'm going to say these are more expensive.
06:45Am I wrong?
06:48I'm wrong.
06:57Okay, we've got two perfumes here.
06:59This is giving kind of like room spray vibe.
07:04This has got a very nice, elegant kind of dome vibe.
07:09This is all about the smell.
07:10So I'm going to go straight in for this on my left wrist.
07:16Okay.
07:19It's nice.
07:20It's not something I would particularly be like,
07:22oh my god, obsessed.
07:24But also, I have a very specific kind of taste and smells.
07:29It's cool.
07:30It's cool.
07:31Let's try this one.
07:33I'm going to spray.
07:35Oh, now that's nice.
07:38That's really nice.
07:41It smells like I want to keep on smelling it.
07:44That's just really, it's really calm, nice.
07:46This is quite, one more spray of this.
07:50This is giving like, I think, slightly more masculine.
07:55Whereas I couldn't see your typical kind of straight man wearing this.
07:59So what we have here is I can't, hmm.
08:06I've got, I've got to say this one's the more expensive one.
08:09Am I wrong?
08:12Yay.
08:13Hmm.
08:22Okay.
08:23Well, packaging wise.
08:28Okay.
08:29This is plastic, I think from the sound.
08:33Okay.
08:34I'm going to smell it.
08:37Interesting.
08:38Interesting.
08:39Typical mascara smell.
08:40I'm going to smell the other one.
08:43This is plastic as well.
08:44Let's see.
08:46Oh.
08:49This is interesting.
08:51Okay.
08:53I'm going to assume, yeah, that the way this one smells is making me think this one's more expensive.
09:00Because it's got this kind of perfumed kind of aroma.
09:07I feel like this one's more expensive.
09:09It smells more expensive.
09:12Oh, I got one.
09:20Wow.
09:20The silver one does have a lovely design.
09:22Oh, weighted and everything.
09:25It's a simple twist to right.
09:30This pen has a more classic look to it.
09:33This is, I feel like a typical pen I see much more often.
09:36However, knowing this game, no, there's no way this is cheaper than this.
09:42Can I see how these work?
09:43Do you have a paper I can use?
09:45Oh, there we go.
09:46We've got the notebook coming.
09:49It's a journal.
09:50That's nice.
09:51Oh, it's brand new.
09:52Might have to borrow this after.
09:55Okay.
09:55Let's write this.
09:56Hello.
09:57Oh, that writes nice.
10:00Yeah, that writes really nicely.
10:02Hello.
10:02How are you?
10:04Nice.
10:07This, it does write really well, but they're both a similar biro kind of vibe.
10:13Although I will say the ink on this is a little bit clearer.
10:18But this feels so much lighter.
10:21Okay.
10:21I'm going to guess this pen's more expensive.
10:27Yay.
10:27This pen's more expensive.
10:32Yay.
10:34So the cheaper one is $4 and 50 cents.
10:37This one's $4.
10:39Yeah.
10:40That one is $425.
10:51We have a pair of earrings, two pairs of earrings.
10:55All right.
10:56The metal here is very sleek.
10:59It is light.
11:00It's very loud.
11:01You need a very simple outfit for these.
11:03Earrings are quite loud, isn't it?
11:05Oh, okay.
11:06We've got mismatched backs here.
11:08One is quite long and one is very small.
11:10But this does look really well made as well.
11:13I don't know.
11:14See, if I was going by the backs of the earrings,
11:17I would say these ones are more expensive.
11:19This hook is giving a very modern, elegant design.
11:23God, this is hard.
11:24There's little hand-cut crystals in a very specific shape.
11:28And this is giving like, you know, GCSE,
11:32like, you know, when you cut up pieces and make your own jewelry, whatever.
11:36So I'll say I think these are the more expensive ones.
11:40But I'm going to be wrong, aren't I?
11:41But I'm going to go with these.
11:47See, I felt it.
11:47Well, do you know, I did think, look at me trying to backtrack now,
11:50but it does have a very elegant earpiece.
11:54Four out of eight.
11:56All right, I'm 50%.
11:57Yeah, I like that though.
11:58It's a healthy balance.
11:59Thank you so much for watching.
12:01You can listen to my album, My 21st Century Blues,
12:04or I have a live album, which is pretty cool.
12:07And my song, Genesis.
12:08Go and have a listen.
12:10But avoid anything before 2021.
12:14Thanks.
