Wow it looks like what Betty Bright/Sushi Kiss looks on me (applied with lip brush, that is).
It looks very Sushi Kiss. When I see the collection, I'm bringing SK and Love Temple to check it against. SK is one of my most favorite lipsticks for a night out and Love Temple is pretty much my day version (although it's not matte), so I'm interested in FS too, but only if it's as good or better!

I'm loving the packaging and her mani! I wish she was wearing one of the polishes though. Credit: Bao Bao Wan

I just got Sushi Kiss from the CCO--money saved! With that being said I'll probably skip almost all the lippies as I have Toying Around and Dodgy Girl. I'll pick up Forbidden Sunrise just so I can get something in this packaging.

Sushi Kiss is PERM now, which is 100% awesome!!! I don't think I've been more glad to see a LE color go perm, except for Mehr.

Toying Around is beautiful. For some reason I did not pick it up.
I pulled my Toying Around out last night, along with my Fantasy of Flowers lipsticks and Kelly Osbourne lippies. Toying Around is very pink on me, but it's super cute. It's probably closest to Party Parrot on me, with my coloring, although PP is redder. I definitely used Sweet Experience the most from Playland, second most used was Playland, which I wore going out a lot, as well as mixed with other lipsticks to warm them up. Red Balloon did nothing for me, and I skipped it.

I JUST put Toying Around on again and it's still running pink in the daylight, but it's very cute and I think I like it more and more! It's like the warmest of warm pinks, before it turns coral. Gonna transfer it to my bag I keep with colors I'm pulling for daily use!

One thing's for sure, when it comes to MAC, there is never a shortage of neon pink and coral lippies!

For sure. I love seeing TA on others. I did not think the color looked flattering on me. VGMC is probably the lightest pink I have. Knowing Mac TA will surface again with a different name in 5-6 months. Lol

Check out Be A Lady, Lady At Play and Love Temple Mineralize lipsticks - I bet at least one of them will give you a similar look, but nicer with your skin tone. They look more subdued than TA on me, but with your skin tone, they will look nice and bright without being overpowering.

Thanks Liba for that tip. I will Google these shades and see what they look like.

Here's Karen in Lady At Play:

Love Temple is more apricot coral but just as bright as LAP, Be A Lady is a little bit lighter but also less bright, so it evens out. If you're near a counter or freestanding store, it's worth it to check them out in person, since they're all very close and one of them will look best out of the three. Love Temple was the best one for me, but your mileage will vary!
