I really like Prrr.
It's a great color for all skin tones in my opinion.

Cultured is soft and pretty pink, and in a d/s line, there's CG Wetslicks in Bubble.

Thanks for all the recs! I went to mac last night and swatched every freakin' baby pink color I could find. I had such a hard time. I must've went through 30 of the disposable lip testers. I finally settled on Dreamy.
I really liked Cultured, but remembered I have such a hard time with C-thru getting gunky on my lips...so I wanted to avoid that. I may one day go back and get it. I also liked Luminary lustreglass, I might get that one day as well.
I'm really happy with Dreamy, can't wait to post a FOTD using it
Thanks girls, for all the help!!

oyster girl lipglass and heartthrob lipglass (if you can get your hands on it)! i'm really not a big fan of lipglasses because i think they're too sticky and they feel kind of nasty, but these two...i LOVE! use one or both almost daily. luminary lustreglass is amazing (as you said) and i think it'd look beautiful on you!
if you're not looking exclusively for mac, you could try nars orgasm or turkish delight lipgloss. giza and babe lipglosses from nars might also suit your fancy. besame's vanilla glaze has a pinkish tint that i think would be beautiful with your skintone  then there's always sephora's super shimmer gloss in precious pink, sugar coat and pretty berry!
or if you want to go drugstore brands, check out milani's nothing sweet lottalip gloss, dreamy glow glosstube, shimmery glow glosstube, jewels lipgloss, tres pink lipgloss, crystals lipgloss (and EXACT match to mac's heartthrob lipglass only a better, smoother texture), innocent crystalgloss, sweet dreams crystal gloss or whisper crystal gloss (alos very similar to heartthrob).
ehhh...yeah i'm kind of a whore for pale pink lip products hahahaha

Swatch from Nars website.
Judging by the MAC website the closest lipglass would be Dreamy or Cultured.

Re: Baby Pink Lips for Dark Skintones
Personally I don't think it would look good on darker skintones...it would like you've been eating an iced pink donut hehe.

Re: Baby Pink Lips for Dark Skintones
Hmmm...well I'm a NW40 and I like to use Prrr and Underage to achieve that look.
I also think that darker skintones can pull off just about anything, it's up to the individual's coloring and a bit of alteration. I think for this look you might want to try a pink that may be a little darker but with still the same overall look.
