MARINA is a Libra, so of course she loves luxurious, high-quality things—but that doesn’t mean we can’t trick her. In this episode of #ExpensiveTasteTest, the singer-songwriter puts her zodiac energy to the test as she sniffs, swatches, and sips her way through vodka shots, leather bags, eyeshadow and an $80 lip balm. While channeling her inner QVC host, MARINA ranks handbags, snacks on suspiciously pale veggie fries, and fully spirals when she finds out the headband she disliked costs $275.

00:00Are you sure that's vodka? Guys, we cannot be drinking this anymore.
00:03This is what we're doing to ourselves.
00:06Hi, I'm Marina and I'm playing Expensive Taste Test with Cosmo.
00:11I would say I have expensive taste.
00:14I am a Libra, so we like luxurious, high-quality things.
00:18I think I am going to do fairly well.
00:21Okay, we have two silver necklaces.
00:32I'm assuming one is a diamond, one is cubic zirconia.
00:35This one is cheap, I know it.
00:37It's light and the silver is like very bright, yeah.
00:43I mean, yeah, I don't like this one at all.
00:46This is a little bit heavier, not hugely, but for me, the cheap thing on this is this part.
00:57Like the big links, I don't like them at all.
00:59This is going to be so funny if I'm completely wrong, because I'm sounding like an expert to myself, like in my own head.
01:05Yeah, this definitely feels like the expensive one.
01:08It looks like denser somehow to that one.
01:11That one's very sparkly, still very nice.
01:13Okay, I think this is the more expensive one.
01:19Oh, my gosh.
01:23What we have here today are veggie chips.
01:32Veggie fries, if you will.
01:33This one looks awful.
01:35Pale as hell.
01:36This is like the Timu veggie chip, but I'm going to give it a go anyway.
01:43I forgot, this isn't a commercial, but I am hungry today.
01:51This just tastes good.
01:52I've had these before.
01:54Okay.
02:01They still do something for me, but they're like puffy and airy.
02:05I think, sorry.
02:07They're not that bad, obviously, because I'm still eating it.
02:09Yeah, I think this is the expensive one.
02:16Yay!
02:18You're probably starting me off with the easy ones.
02:20So we have two lip balms here, and the packaging doesn't feel cheap to me.
02:34I always look at the font.
02:36The font tells you everything, usually.
02:38Smells of nothing.
02:40I'm looking at the ingredients.
02:42There's a lot of natural stuff, which gives me hope that this might be the expensive one,
02:46but let's see.
02:47Oh, wait.
02:48Bottle green glass?
02:49That says chic to me.
02:53Oh, that smells good as well.
02:58Not much information on ingredients, so I can try this.
03:03Because cheap things can also smell good.
03:06And actually, with makeup or, like, skin care, expensive doesn't necessarily mean better.
03:16Oh, man.
03:17I think the expensive one is this one.
03:25Yes.
03:26Here we have two headbands embroidered with pearls.
03:37I actually would really love to be a headband girl, but it just looks weird on my head.
03:42I think I have the wrong shape head.
03:44The beading on this one, I would say it's, like, pretty well made.
03:47And also, it has this, like, suede strip in here.
03:51I can't see any threads.
03:53I haven't picked that one up yet, but I would say this is, like, pretty well made and probably the more expensive one.
03:59Oh, my God.
03:59This is cheap as hell.
04:04Okay.
04:05I can see a thread coming out.
04:07It's very light.
04:08Looks like these have been glued on, not, like, threaded through.
04:13You don't like her.
04:14I don't think there's anything else in it.
04:16This is the expensive one.
04:20No!
04:21Shut up!
04:22Shut up!
04:26This feels so shoddy to me.
04:28I can't believe it.
04:29How much more expensive this one is than this one?
04:31That one's $275.
04:35What?
04:37I hate it.
04:39What?
04:40Why?
04:46We have two shots of vodka here.
04:49Disgusting.
04:49I do drink vodka, but it's usually masked by other flavors.
04:57Ugh!
04:59Mmm, okay.
05:01Way less nail varnish-y.
05:04Are you sure that's vodka?
05:06That...
05:06Yeah.
05:06Guys, we cannot be drinking this anymore.
05:08This is what we're doing to ourselves.
05:12Okay.
05:12I'm gonna taste a little bit.
05:19Oh, my God.
05:19Wow.
05:20I actually don't even care what's more expensive.
05:25That one will not kill you.
05:27This one is gonna do something evil inside.
05:30That's just more doable to me, so I'm gonna go with this one.
05:33Beep-
05:33Don't kill you.
05:34Don't kill you.
05:35Beep-
05:35Beep-
05:36Don't kill you.
05:36Don't kill you.
05:37Don't kill you.
05:40Don't kill you.
05:41Don't kill you.
05:43These are two navy blue eyeshadows.
05:47It's quite light, which sometimes means cheap, like light packaging.
05:52it seems okay here's the swatch I feel like I'm on QVC okay
06:08testing the second one this looks nice oh this is nice I bet this is going to be the
06:21cheap one I'm gonna choose it the color is a little more iridescent it's richer as
06:26well it's like more pigmented I'm gonna choose this one hopefully I'm right but
06:33I have no confidence anymore so oh thank god
06:40we have two pairs of red shoes these feel quite hard
06:52these are also quite hard I like this probably more than this one
07:01this actually feels more cheapy to me
07:05okay the smell is telling I think basically the smell of the sole is like really pungent
07:13plastic I'd be really shocked if these are the expensive ones looks wise they look more expensive
07:19than this but then when you feel them like this is like a really like buttery soft sole
07:24I'm just looking at the heels as well this if you can zoom in on this heel this print I don't like
07:30it this is also not super expensive looking but I don't know it just looks a little bit more
07:36aesthetically pleasing this is really tough because inside this feels leathery I don't even know if
07:43this is a leather because it feels so hard that smells like leather this smells of plastic though okay I'm
07:55gonna go with this one just because this is smelling more leathery to me I think
08:03yeah god I hope I really don't know though with this one
08:09okay
08:16we have two purses here this one's very light and makes me feel like it's the cheap one but
08:25it's all about how difficult it would be to make this I think like this to me because it's weightier and
08:34it's beaded feels like the more expensive one but I know you guys are just out to trick me so
08:40this is beautiful actually probably satin but it could be silk looks a little vintage actually
08:45would you use either oh no would never
08:51it's not my style darling this actually would look cute
08:55like her you know I like her putting my foot down and saying this is the more expensive bag
09:06so I got six out of eight which is good but I feel so annoyed about the headband but I still have
09:20expensive taste so thank you so much for watching I'm Marina and you should go check out my new album
