Review: Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Tinted Moisturizer w/SPF 20

I have been testing the Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Tinted Moisturizer w/SPF 20 for a few weeks by now, and finally decided to purchase it at Sephora

Pros:
It is one of Sephora's natural brands and has SPF 20, which is important for me, since I do not like sunscreens.
Perfect coverage for me for every day.
It gives a light and smooth coverage (my color right now is Agent 06) and is perfect for my dry skin. 
I use Tarte's translucent loose powder to set it and it last all day. 

Cons: 
Pricey :(
