Review: NARS tinted moisturizer

Hello my loves! I'm back with a review!
This weekend I went to Sephora looking for a new tinted moisturizer for the summer and got a sample of the new NARS tinted moisturizer. I've been using it for the past few days and thought I'd give y'all a heads up. 
Lets start with the numbers, it has something like +50 SPF (which is amazing for the summer) and is $42 (which isn't amazing). They have a solid range of colors, but not a whole lot. The packaging is sleek like all other NARS products. To be completely honest, I'm such a sucker for NARS everything.
The pros: it's a NARS product, the SPF
The cons: the price
It's said that the coverage is light, but in reality it gives little to no coverage at all. I have broken capillaries on my cheeks and acne scaring from previous spots and it does nothing to cover them. Mind you, I wear light-medium coverage foundations and even my lightest coverage foundation evens out my skin-tone. It slides on my skin and it takes a while to set in, so when I'm applying my blusher or contour colors, I accidentally move around my foundation. 
The pros: It's a NARS product, the SPF
The cons: the price, the coverage
And, what really got me on this product, was the fact that you have to use a primer before you apply it. Yes, you heard me, you need to prime your skin to use this tinted moisturizer. I used my Benefit Porefessional, which is a great primer, and it did make it last for most of the day. However, it didn't make the overall look of the tinted moisturizer look better.
The pros: It's a NARS product, the SPF
The cons: the price, the coverage, the wear, and the fact that you have to use a primer before you put it on.
That's all for my review!
All in all: do not get this product, it's not worth the price.
