Goldbit is a light warm peachy beige with gold flecks in a Lustre finish. It was a discontinued shade, and is now permanent. It has a soft, finely-milled texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has medium-high pigmentation and semi-opaque buildable colour pay-off. It can be layered and blended out easily. It is more beige than Gleam, darker and more sparkly than Naked Lunch, and lighter than All That Glitters.

With the exception of Goldbit, which was originally launched in 2004, these eyeshadows were actually only discontinued fairly recently (after 2010), so many old-school MAC addicts will likely still have one or more of these in their stash. That having been said, these were all fan favourite shades that were really only discontinued because there were too many similar shades within MAC's permanent range. The exception to this is Uninterrupted, which was originally a Pro Longwear Eyeshadow and they discontinued the whole formula (this colour in particular was extremely sought-after when MAC discontinued it because there is nothing really similar to it in their permanent range). I didn't own the original Goldbit so I can't say how this iteration compares, but I will say that it does go on smoother, more pigmented, and with less fall out than a typical Lustre eyeshadow. As with the other three shades, I find that this year's versions are more richly pigmented and have a softer, more velvety feel, so they perform beautifully. All of these shades are staple, workhorse shades that can work on anybody, so they're actually all worth getting if you don't already have them (all four shades have been made available in PRO refill pans as well!).
