Teal for the Timid: Laura Mercier Eye Mosaic in Mediterranean Sea

If you loved the look of the Urban Decay Get Baked palette but are looking for something a bit more subtle and subdued, check out the Laura Mercier Eye Mosaic in Mediterranean Sea.

I spotted this quad compact yesterday and seriously considered taking it home (I already have WAY too many champagne, teal and dark blue shadows to justify it, but still, it was close).

Mediterranean Sea packs four shimmery shadows in indigo, pale gold, aqua, and dark copper brown. The gold and the copper are more subtle than the Half Baked/Baked/Twice Baked offerings in the UD palette, and the aqua doesn't pack quite the punch of Flipside. But it's gorgeous in its own right, and perfect if you're just dipping your toes (or your brush, really) into the the whole aqua-accented eyes trend.

And the indigo? LOVE! I've long been a sucker for Laura Mercier's dark blue shadows (read this ode to blue shadows in general), and this one doesn't disappoint. Would make a great liner on either upper or lower lids, applied damp with a tiny brush.
