James Charles hilariously roasts everyone who dragged his mini Morphe palette

James Charles' Morphe mini collection caused controversy but the influencer couldn't help but joke about releasing a medium and XL Morphe palette, too.
James Charles faced criticism from fans this week after announcing that he would releasing a mini-eyeshadow palette called the James Charles X Morphe Mini Collection. Some were less than thrilled that the palette would only be a smaller version of the same 39 colour palette he launched with Morphe last year– with some even calling the release a "money grab".

James responded to the controversy early on, telling critics that the release "isn't some 'crazy new launch that you guys HAVE to go buy' – it's for my fans and fellow artists who have supported me." Okay, sister!
James' latest clap back was a little more lighthearted about the situation, though. James jokingly "announced" that he'd be releasing a "medium" and "extra large" palette, too.

Well played, James. Well played.
As James was gearing up to release the mini palette, he explained that he'd listened to criticisms about the original palette's size and lack of mirror. He said that, after travelling with his own large palette, he'd also realised the limitations of its size.
Honestly, James' idea for a palette for the "in between time when you're not traveling but also not at home" sounds...lowkey genius. We'll keep an eye out for it.
