James Charles brand launch was MESSY...(lab drama, expensive shipping)

James Charles launched his Painted brand this week and things got a bit messy. From his lab being exposed, his product being criticized and all the drama from his launch day.

$50 in shipping for some crayola paint is wild🎨

I have no idea how anyone can still support James or how anyone would want to spend their money on his products..

[BambithePsycho]

The Tati clip 😂 The I'm here for it

[abyventura]

I just dont understand how are people still supporting him? Just How? And also using Painted on celebrities without them knowing rubs me the wrong way...

[karmarose]

I love that he cared more about the product than the people involved in the accident. Says volumes about his character

[lilypadparty]

I sell products on Etsy to the US from Canada and it's $8. I KNOW it's cheaper to ship the opposite way. $30 is insanity.

[kookiesbabybird]

There's psychology behind the way in which it's marketed and people are waking up and realizing that nah babes, you can't just say you're sold out when you clearly bought a lot of product and restocked a week later. Like it's shady in all aspects

[lindseyd]

He shouldn’t even have a platform after his predator ways were exposed. As a parent, I sure as hell will not support him. He seems to get chance after chance and doesn’t change for the better.

It really doesn't seem like a smart move to try to get free endorsements out of big name celebrities without them even knowing. There's no celebrity that would take on free endorsement for products so there is no way this would sit right with them. This could end up being very bad coverage or even legal trouble if any of them catch wind.

[crystlgy]

The use of celebrity's faces as endorsement, when the product was sent as PR for testing with no contract or agreement...seems very sketchy to me. At the very *least* I feel like it's going to get him in some shit with the artists he sent samples to, at the very *most* it may get those artists fired by their clients. *MESSY*

[karmarose]

Imagine having no clue what makeup ur artist is useing for one but for two imagine being so controversial that the MUA’s using your product had to sneak it in 😂😭💀

[evilcow]

It does make sense that only a shady lab was the one who would agree to work with james

[motionlesscreature]

Tana is so fake lol. She doesn’t like James but welcomed him into her home when he showed up with pr. If someone I didn’t like showed up to my place the door would be slammed in their face

Guys, by his OWN ADMISSION about the extra tubes of ink and cold brew he ordered, it takes a few WEEKS to even fulfill an order. I personally worked in product development for two different cosmetic companies and you need to order your product at least two months in advance of a launch. There’s fill time for the product in the tubes, packing the tubes into boxes, and then shipping alone is at least a week. So unless his new small brand is somehow making these products IN HOUSE, and they bypassed all LEGALLY REQUIRED product stability testing, and magically did everything to have ready to ship product in a week, HE IS LYING. IT CANNOT PHYSICALLY BE DONE. And again, i say this as someone who worked in specifically cosmetics product development. I cannot anymore with this “speculation, ” he is straight up lying to you that he was working on that formula a week out from a launch.

[notanotheraaron]

the fact it's $26 for a tube in NZ and $33 shipping 💀

[dragansorin-alexandru]

✨Oh no.... *pretends to be shocked* ✨

We all knew it was going to be like this but it's so damn entertaining to watch it crush and burn

[gracejones]

Im absolutely cackling at the Tati section

[hctebsdrawkcab]

Maybe I’m old + superstitious, but that truck getting into a wreck is 100% a bad omen here 😂 I do hope everyone involved was ok

[bellezanegra]

Did he just put these tubes in a ziplock bag for PR? 😂😂😂😂😂

[rhystarr]

I can't wait for the day I'm out shopping and I see a paint can or those paints hanging up in a TJ Maxx or Marshalls. 😂😂😂
