James Charles and Lauren Conrad appear to be on good terms days after the YouTuber blasted her beauty brand for accidentally sending him a box of empty makeup containers.
On Monday, Charles shared on his Instagram story that Conrad sent him a new box of makeup, this time filled with actual products — not empty samples — from her brand Lauren Conrad Beauty. In his first video, Charles read a handwritten note from the TV star, which said: "Let's try this again! Here are the products from my line. Tube filled and everything!"
"I'm so glad that her and I were able to connect and now laugh at this entire situation," Charles added after reading Conrad's note. "First of all, look at how beautiful this wrapping is. Let's open it up."
Charles then poked fun at his previous Instagram story, in which he showed an empty highlighter tube accidentally sent to him by Conrad.
"Okay you guys, this is what the packaging looks like when there's actually product in there," Charles joked. "Actually though, this is really, really cute. I'm gonna go ahead and swatch the liquid highlighter. Once again, so gorgeous. Oh my god, that's so pretty."
Charles posted his Instagram videos less than one week after he criticized Conrad and her beauty brand on his story. As Insider's Kat Tenbarge previously reported, the

Prior to arguing with Conrad over Instagram, Charles also called out Alicia Keys on Twitter in response to her announcement that she's created a collaboration beauty brand with e.l.f. Cosmetics, despite her being an advocate of the no-makeup movement.
After learning that Keys' brand will focus on skin-care products instead of makeup, Charles apologized to the musician in a note, and said he's not "the gatekeeper of makeup."
