ELF beauty encyclopedia eye editions- Everday eye edition, Sparkle edition, Basic eye edition

Finally I have collected all of the beauty encyclopedia. I JUST LOVE 'EM. Worth ever penny (meaning only $5 each =D). All of them come with 12 eyeshadow colors, 2 cream eyeshadow, a brush/sponge applicator and a mini brightening eyeliner.
*WARNING*- These eyeshadows are very pigmented but are very soft causing a LOT of fall out.

Sparkle eye edition

It comes with a brown eyeliner and brush/ sponge applicator.
I'm not particularly loving the "sparkle" effects because it’s way too glittery to the point that’s its just pressed glitter. They do come with beautiful colors but they aren't pressed good enough so there is a lot of fall out. Top row: As you can see, the first two colors on the left are the "sparkle" shadows and there is absolutely no color at all.
Middle row: The blue is my favorite because it's a duo chrome (meaning it looks like one color, but when the light hits it becomes another color). It looks like a flat light sea blue but it has a golden property to it which reminds me of mermaids. Bottom Row
Out of the three eye editions, this one is the most inconsistent one out of all of them.

Conclusion:
-price: A+ ($1 each!)
-packaging: B
-product quality: C
-Overall quality: B
-Buy again? Maybe...most likely not

Basic Eye Edition- comes with a mini brightening eyeliner in black
Out of the three, this one is my favorite. The colors are beautiful and is the most consistent one. It comes with purples, golds, an orange and many more.
Top row: The first thing that surprised me was the first color on the left. In the pan, it looks like its a nice creamy light golden color but when swatched on the hand, its actually a sliver. I thought my brush was dirty or something xD.

Everyday Eye Edition -comes with a mini Brightening eye liner in Coffee
Out of the three, this definitely ranks a solid #2 but very close to being a #1. Surprisingly I really love the cream eyeshadows. In the past, I did buy all of the cream eyeshadow duos from the regular line and hated them, but this changes my judgement 180 degrees. The left cream is a nice light golden cream color and the right one is a darker bronze color. Both have a better consistency compared to the normal line and reminds me of UDPP's sin.
Top Row: I don't have any of the brightening eye quads, but I'm 100% sure that this is "Drama". Middle rowBottom Row
