    Drugstore Beauty Doubles

    I love high end make-up, but sometimes what I want to buy and the amount in my paycheck don't match up.  That means I'm always looking for a beauty bargain — especially when I can get a similar product for a third of the price! After scouring the aisles at the drug store,  I found some great products that are comparable to those high-end items I see behind expensive beauty counters. Here are some of my favorite "drugstore doubles":
