Shrimpton
MAC Shrimpton Lipstick ($17.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a light-medium peach with warm undertones and a satin finish. The lipstick had opaque pigmentation that applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without tugging. I was impressed by how evenly it applied given how light the color was. The texture was lightweight, thicker (which I felt helped keep it from emphasizing my lip lines), and comfortable to wear. The color lasted for four hours and was neither drying nor hydrating.

Formula Overview

MAC Lipstick comes in a variety of finishes, and the pigmentation and wear tend to be dependent on the finish. The sheer finishes, like Lustres, tend to wear for only a couple of hours and have sheer coverage (as designed) and are non-drying.
Some of the original Matte shades have a stiffer, drier formula, while newer ones have a more velvety, silicone-feel to them, and the latter are creamier, more comfortable to wear, and easier to apply, but most Matte shades are quite pigmented and long-wearing, though some are drying.
The Amplified and Satin finishes tend to have good pigmentation, lightly creamy to moderately creamy consistencies with a bit of shine, and moderate to long wear with deeper, richer shades wearing longer. The Frost and Metallic finishes have the most variance between shades with coverage ranging from semi-sheer to opaque with average wear and non-drying to slightly drying formulas. All MAC lipsticks are vanilla-scented but have no discernible taste.

Bronx
MAC Bronx Lipstick ($17.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark beige with warm undertones and a flat, matte finish. The texture was denser and firmer in the tube, though it didn’t seem to drag on my lips, but it did apply a thinner layer of product that was more prone to emphasizing my lip texture. It wore well for four and a half hours but was somewhat drying over time.

What an exquisitely pretty lady you are, Christine!!
I’m surprising myself by saying there’s nothing here that appeals to me. I really wanted to like Bronx, but it looks too flat-matte. And I wish I liked Shrimpton (especially because it was named after the 60s model), but it seems too light for me. Oh well, money saved.
Spanish Fly is so fun. The lipstick equivalent to Club or Blue Brown.
I wouldn’t wear it, but Shrimpton is totally Jean Shrimpton! 😀
I somehow got talked in to trying Spanish Fly on, with the SA saying that it may not look so great in the tube but “you’re going to love it over a darker liner or lipstick!” Well, I really do! I wear it over Nyx Mahogany Slim Lip Pencil with a little bit of gloss on top, and it gets lots of compliments.
The other 3 aren’t quite calling to me like the above shade. Possibly Icon, if anything. But then again, I still have VG Rihanna 2.
Gosh, I love the way Spanish Fly looks on you. My skin tends to turn any browninsh pink colors into straight brown, though, but I am tempted.
Let me know if you try it – I feel like it may be a bit different from person to person due to it not being 100% opaque!
Spanish Fly is a lovely shade. All pretty good lipsticks.
Are these from yet another LE collection by MAC? Because they only have about 2 or 3 LE collections currently running, so it’s about time for them to bring out another one, no?
They are permanent, as indicated on each Glossover! 🙂
Love Icon and Spanish Fly. If I didn’t have a full drawer of lippies after giving away a full box, I would get them. I never would have looked twice at Spanish Fly if not for the swatch! Thank you.
Icon was my shade around 2000! I can’t believe it’s back finally! Now all MAC needs to do is bring back Kid Kat lipstick and I’ll be in nostalgia heaven.
I swatched these yesterday. Shrimpton is too light and too yellow-ish for me. Bronx was beautiful and tempted me, but I successfully talked myself out of it. I felt it was a bit too gray for my skin tone. It is a retro matte, but didn’t seem to be as dry as other MAC retro mattes, like Ruby Woo.
I picked up Spanish Fly and I like it pretty well on my neutral-olive light-medium complexion. It turns out to look really good under OFRA Emerald City which is also semi-sheer. I’ve been looking for something to pair with Emerald City and this works much better than anything else I’ve tried. And the formulas play nicely with each other. If you want a “wearable” olive green lipstick, the combo is great.
