Advice Seeker: Dear April Masini,
I'm on a budget and I am trying to figure out which of my department store makeups and beauty products I can switch out for drugstore brands. I buy everything in the more expensive name brands now. I don't want to ruin my looks or my skin, but I'm sure some of it can be switched out. Do you have any advice on what beauty products are OK for me to get bargains on?

Get yours at the drug store -- and get it every three to six months so your makeup is fresh and your eyes are healthy.April Masini -- nicknamed "the new millennium's Dear Abby" by the media, is author of the best-selling books Date Out Of Your League and Think & Date Like A Man, the two (just released) step-by-step dating and relationship manuals, Ideas for a Fun Date and Romantic Date Ideas, and the critically acclaimed dating and relationship online magazine www.AskApril.com.
