We're all tempted by cosmetics and expensive beauty products - some can cost hundreds of dollars. But Women's Health magazine has found more than 30 products in the drugstore that will do the trick and stretch your dollar.
CBS 2's Anne State reports with just a few of the magazine's chosen products.
First, Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Cleanser: we found it for just $6.50.
"It not only cleans your skin, but it helps repair it," said Bridget Doherty, Women's Health magazine. "It's got this thing called an amino acid peptide complex."
Next, Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30: just $15.
"It has a soy complex which is full of antioxidants," Doherty said.
And why pay $30 for mascara when you can get one from L'Oreal for just $6?
"It's got that perfect consistency. It's not too thick, not too thin," Doherty said.
The Deep Wrinkle Serum from Roc is a little more at $22, but it's worth it.
"Our Women's Health dermatologist said this is the best product on the market over the counter," Doherty said.
One of the best bargains on the list - Burt's Bees Replenishing Lip Balm with pomegranate oil just $3.
