James Charles Apologizes To Lauren Conrad After Lambasting Her Beauty Brand

YouTube star James Charles apologized for criticizing Lauren Conrad and her new beauty brand after he publicly shamed the PR package he received from her that was full of empty products.

Earlier this week, the 21-year-old went on his Instagram Story to vent about a package he received from a brand he didnt want to name.

I just opened a PR package from a new makeup brand from somebody who has no business having a makeup brand, he said, shielding the brand name from viewers.

The package he received included an empty liquid highlighter tube and a dry eyeliner pen, causing Charles to exclaim: Stop making makeup brands. Stop! Stop!

James Charles goes off on make up brand by someone who, according to James, has no business having a makeup brand. James shows their products and talks about how its inadequate. He later posted saying he calmed down. What are your thoughts? pic.twitter.com/bzOO8eTWXA

In response, Conrad confirmed on her page for Lauren Conrad Beauty that the products Charles received were, in fact, from her brand.

After the comments section on that page were inundated with people asking about Charles comments, Conrad commented to clear up some confusion: For those asking about the empty components sent to James ... let me tell you a fun story. The woman who put together the gifts (it was me) decided to fill a makeup bag full of empty samples to make sure everything would fit inside. When beauty products arrived and it was time to fill all the makeup bags she (again, me) accidentally included the bag full of empties with the others and it was sent out.

The former star of The Hills then quipped: She will be let go immediately.
