Though Ten Three Labs has only been around for a short while, they recently closed and re-opened with the release of The Grand Re-Opening Collection - themed after the show Bob's Burgers. Besides the 12 eyeshadows featured below, the collection also includes 2 perfumes and 2 tinted lip balms which won't be featured in this segment.



I mentioned in the Company Overview that there were some inconsistencies in the matte eyeshadow formula and I think that this collection really shows what I mean. The collection has four satin finishes and eight with at least a matte base and though the satins all applied similarly, the mattes were a little more iffy. These swatches are all over Urban Decay Primer Potion and Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy and some of the mattes struggled over this combination - which is common with some matte formulas - but some applied much better over the Pixie Epoxy than the primer alone.
