00:00What makes me a fashion icon is that I can literally wear a trash bag and gag these b**ches, like, no shade, it just doesn't take much.
00:08Hey y'all, it's Aaliyah's Interlude, and today I am playing Expensive Taste Tests with Cosmo.
00:17I'm gonna knock this out of the park. I'm just kind of bougie, like, I like nice stuff. I also, like, appreciate, like, a Baja Blast from Taco Bell. Like, it's really nothing to me.
00:31Is this boba? Oof, y'all messed up giving me this first. I'm gonna get this right.
00:36This is a lighter color, so either it has more milk in it, or it's cheaper. You know what I mean?
00:44But then...
00:48This smells so good. I'm a boba addict, y'all. I'm so sorry.
00:53This one doesn't even have a scent. This one smells like coffee and boba, like boba tapioca balls.
01:00But then it's like, this looks muddier, so I'm like, this probably could be cheaper. Let me just try it.
01:10Girl. Y'all got this out of any machine, for sure. This is the cheaper one. I didn't even try this, but I know it is.
01:14Mm-hmm. Absolutely. This is the cheaper one, and I'm literally gonna finish this. This is so good.
01:24Correct? Okay. Mm-hmm.
01:32We have some purses to the stand now, y'all. It's getting harder, I'm not gonna lie.
01:38But one thing about rich people, they like buying small things that are very, very, very unusable.
01:45So this is kind of what I'm leaning towards. She's metallic. Metallic can either mean cheap or not cheap.
01:52I don't think that's like a good indicator. But this give me like, you could get this on TikTok shops.
01:58So I don't know if this is the expensive one or not. And the material feels kind of like, cheaper.
02:08This is the more expensive bag.
02:13Hey! Yes! Period.
02:22So we have some wigs, and I am the wig queen. I can tell both of these wigs, even if they were expensive, I don't think they're good quality. No shade.
02:33But let's see. Ah! My nails!
02:36This one, the lace is giving very much not transparent, not HD. It's giving chopped.
02:44Girl. Oh my God!
02:48It looks cheap, but the lace is better. And I know that the girls pay for lace. The girls pay for the transparent lace.
02:55But the synthetic wigs be having good laces. So, oh my God, this is gonna be hard.
03:00Y'all, I'm stuck. My nails! I need some help, please!
03:09Okay y'all, my bad. Back to regular scheduled programming.
03:13Both of these hoes look tired right now. I really was entangled in them.
03:17But I know for a fact, she's a synthetic bop, and this is the real deal. Don't play with her.
03:25Yeah, this is synthetic, I know.
03:31Okay y'all, here we have some cameras. A good digi.
03:37I've actually had this camera before. And the quality, chop. No shade y'all.
03:44Even the material feels very like, plastic.
03:51She's not doing it for me. Let's try this one.
03:55The quality gives like, okay, I spent like a quick penny on this.
03:59In my song, Mood Board, I have a part that's like,
04:02Cameras out, strike a pose and flash. Cameras out, strike a pose and flash.
04:06Honestly, when the camera turns on, I turn into Tyra Banks. Like, I'm really that girl.
04:11Like, when I tell you, cameras out, I'ma strike a pose, and the flash will go off.
04:18And everyone's gonna gag, yay.
04:20But y'all, look at this. Like, just look at the quality.
04:25I know what an expensive flash sounds like, y'all.
04:30Like, y'all might think I'm bullshitting, but this one just gives more.
04:35Like, I would sample this one for Mood Board. I wouldn't sample her, you know what I mean?
04:39So, this is the more expensive one.
04:43We have some bows.
04:45This is actually such a good one because I'm an accessory queen.
04:50And this one is giving me like, silk. You know, very classic, very cutesy.
04:58This is like the perfect shade of pink. Light pink, very baby girl, very...
05:04Very classic, very cutesy.
05:07This is like the perfect shade of pink.
05:09Light pink, very like baby girl, very c**t, you know?
05:14I love her.
05:16This one right here.
05:18This one feels better made, but it feels like wool.
05:22Like it doesn't feel comfortable.
05:23Like I wouldn't wear this.
05:25Not good quality at all.
05:26So she's trash.
05:28I think she's the winner, for sure.
05:30Hey, one thing about me, I know, what did I tell y'all?
05:44Regardless of the price,
05:45I don't think I would ever wear these,
05:48but that's not really what anyone is asking me.
05:52This one, I feel like it's cheap just because like
05:56you push it and it don't even just like jump back at you.
06:00Like it's not giving very, you know, I spent a quick buck.
06:04I spent my paycheck on these.
06:05And if you did, girl, I'm gonna come get you.
06:09These right here, you could stomp a c**t out in these.
06:13Do you see these?
06:15I wouldn't even look at a c**t wrong
06:17who were wearing these.
06:19Even like the jewels on here,
06:21like you could tell somebody probably hand placed them.
06:24That's a great sign.
06:27Even though the bottom looks kind of cheap too,
06:28like they were spray painted on.
06:30What makes me a fashion icon
06:32is that I can literally wear a trash bag
06:35and gag these c**ts, like no shade.
06:37It just doesn't take much.
06:38It's about how you're wearing it,
06:40not about what you're wearing.
06:42But in this case, I mean, if y'all could rock these,
06:46you're a fashion icon too,
06:47because I really don't like these shoes.
06:49I'm gonna go with my gut instinct.
06:51And I'm gonna say that I think these are more expensive.
06:57Aye, period!
07:00I might win this game for all of us.
07:04♪ Ba, ba, ba-ba, ba, ba-ba, ba, ba, ba. ♪
07:10Oo, nails.
07:11I'm gonna get this one right, I already know.
07:13This could be so dependent on who made the nails,
07:17rather than like the quality,
07:19but I'm gonna feel them and see.
07:22This feels like some good acrylic,
07:23I'm not gonna lie to you.
07:25This is good quality.
07:27This is good, but I feel like the design
07:30gives a little bit cheap, no shade.
07:33If you made it, I'm sorry.
07:34But no, no, this is a cheaper one.
07:36Actually, I know.
07:37This is cheaper cause like it's flimsy.
07:40Accidentally broke it, I'm sorry, y'all.
07:42It didn't even break, it's just like bends.
07:44Confirming my suspicions, y'all.
07:46Like she's cheap, she's in the gutter.
07:49And this one right here is the expensive one.
07:56Ayyy, I'm so good at this game.
08:05From first look, this is giving presentation.
08:08It's like I really put some thought.
08:10It's giving plasma ball, but in a c*** way.
08:13You know what I mean?
08:14But let's open it.
08:15Oh, okay, they got all the colors in here.
08:18But let me test it.
08:22Is it pigmented?
08:25Is it not?
08:27Oh!
08:28That's tea.
08:29I would use this.
08:30I need to know this.
08:31Feels durable too.
08:33Not breaking if you drop it randomly.
08:37But this one, hard as a mother rock.
08:44Shibuya, it has a mirror too.
08:48Ooh, that's tea.
08:50Ain't that euphoria?
08:51I love that.
08:53Y'all really saved the hardest for last.
08:57I feel like presentation-wise, this looks cheaper.
09:01I would use this one.
09:02I would use this palette if I was doing my makeup,
09:04just because I like glittery, shinery stuff.
09:07But...
09:14This one is also labeled.
09:16Like, every single color has a name.
09:18She's unknown.
09:20Nobody knows who she is.
09:21It just looks better quality.
09:24Like, look at that.
09:25Look at the pigments.
09:27This is giving me, like, chalky vibes.
09:31Girl, she's cheap.
09:33This is the winner.
09:34I'm the winner, and I just got a perfect score
09:37on this game.
09:41Ay!
09:44Period!
09:47So your girl just got an eight out of eight
09:49on the expensive taste test.
09:51Not that that would come at a surprise,
09:54because I'm the OG, I'm the GOAT, period.
09:57And I knew I was gonna win!
10:00Don't forget to stream my new song, Mood Board,
10:03and Aaliyah Core today, tomorrow, yesterday, and forever.
10:07But you already knew that, though.
10:09Mwah!
10:21Mwah!
