A couple weeks ago, MAC launched their Throwbacks collection, which consists of four eyeshadows and seven lipsticks that were previously discontinued and were fan-voted to be re-released from the MAC vault. All eleven products in this launch will be made permanent. The lipsticks are housed in regular black and silver tubes. Each lipstick contains 3 grams of product, and retails for $22. These are applicable as a redeemable free product in the Back to MAC recycling program.

Spanish Fly, Icon, Shrimpton, and Bronx

Spanish Fly, Icon, Shrimpton, and Bronx

Spanish Fly is a medium-dark warm reddish bronze with a teal-green pearl in a Frost finish. It was a discontinued shade, and is now permanent. It has a soft, creamy texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has medium pigmentation and semi-opaque buildable colour pay-off. There is nothing similar to this in MAC's permanent range.
Icon is a medium cool taupe-brown with a taupe sheen in a Frost finish. It was a discontinued shade, and is now permanent. It has a soft, creamy texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has low-medium pigmentation and sheer to semi-opaque buildable colour pay-off. There is nothing similar to this in MAC's permanent range.
Shrimpton is a light-medium warm peachy beige in a Satin finish. It was a discontinued shade, and is now permanent. It has a soft, creamy texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It is more peach than Honeylove, lighter and more peach than Cherish, and more beige than Kinda Sexy.

Skew, Marrakesh, and Rocker

Skew is a medium warm pink with a cool pink-violet pearl in a Frost finish. It was a discontinued shade, and is now permanent. It has a soft, creamy texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has low-medium pigmentation and sheer to semi-opaque buildable colour pay-off. It is warmer than Hot Gossip, cooler than Bombshell, and brighter and more pink than Fabby.
Marrakesh is a medium-dark warm muted rusted terracotta red in a Matte finish. It was a discontinued shade, and is now permanent. It has a soft, creamy texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It is darker and more brown than Chili, lighter and more orange than Studded Kiss, and more orange than Viva Glam I.
Rocker is a medium-deep cool wine red in a Matte finish. It was a discontinued shade, and is now permanent. It has a soft, creamy texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It is lighter than Diva, darker than D for Danger, and darker and cooler than Russian Red.

For the old-school MAC shoppers, this collection will definitely be a source of nostalgia. Most of these shades were discontinued in the early- to mid-2000s, and were actually bestsellers at the height of their popularity, so a lot of people who wore these during their initial run will get excited at seeing the comeback of their favourite lip shades from the '90s and early 2000s. For those who are new to MAC or have never heard of these shades before, you might find a new favourite among these throwbacks, especially given that these types of shades are popular again right now — further proof that trends are continually recycled and beloved. It's nice to see that MAC, who held a public poll for fans to vote on which colours to bring back, is really listening to their consumers and giving an ode to their OG fans.
