I actually prefer the texture of the RBR moisturizer to the one from Nars. If you make any purchases from BeautyHabit- then request samples of the RBR tinted moisturizer. It really is a lovely product.

My preference has been tinted moisturizers with additional SPF to give added moisture and protection.
