Victoria Beckham's Fragrance
Described by wearers as intimate, romantic and great for all seasons (according to Fragrantica.com), Beckham's favorite scent, Beckham Signature for Her, $52, contains notes of candy apple, orchid, musk and vanilla. Beckham said it was "perfect to wear from day to evening." For a fragrance with similar notes and great reviews that's less expensive, try Bath & Body Works Enchanted Orchid, $19.

Victoria Beckham's Cleanser
Beckham reportedly leaves Dermalogica Dermal Clay Cleanser, $31, on as a purifying mask before rinsing. Origins Get Down, $18.50, costs less, is used the same way and contains similar ingredients including natural extracts, skin-soothing sage and a nice, refreshing tingle from eucalyptus (versus menthol).

Victoria Beckham's Eye Cream
Beckham told InStyle she used La Prairie Cellular Radiance Eye Cream, $275, to sooth her "tired eyes" before bed, but not everyone has that kind of money to drop on eye cream. La Prairie claims to target puffiness, fine lines, dark circles and crepey texture with mysterious, undisclosed ingredients and a light-reflecting quality. L'Oreal Paris Wrinkle De-Crease Collagen Filler Eye Illuminator, $19.99, may not look as luxurious on your counter but it addresses the same issues, brightens with light-diffusing particles and has a higher rating on TotalBeauty.com.

Victoria Beckham's Moisturizer
To fight wrinkles and give her lips extra moisture when she's not wearing makeup, Beckham relies on Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream, $17, a combination of petrolatum, beta-hydroxy acid and vitamin E. Though we hope she's careful not to get in her eyes, she also dabs it on her lashes to "bring them out a bit more." A low-budget alternative: Smith's Rosebud Salve, which combines petrolatum -- a humectant -- with cotton seed oil (rich in vitamin E) and a blend of rose essential oils, all for under $6.

Victoria Beckham's Foundation
The former Spice Girl told Elle magazine that the lightweight, radiant, SPF 15 Giorgio Armani Hydra Glow Foundation, $57, gives her skin "good coverage and doesn't look cakey." Readers with normal to dry skin said the same about CoverGirl Advanced Radiance Age-Defying Liquid Makeup, $11.53, which offered blendable, smooth coverage with a hint of luminescence, albeit with a color range catering more to pink undertones.

Kudos to nearly every major women's mag and a number of blogs for reporting on Victoria Beckham's favorite beauty products -- and just in time for her book, "That Extra Half an Inch." We just have one question: What are we to do with this info? (It's not like most of us can get an $800 haircut, caviar shampoo and La Prairie eye cream.) Answer: Check out our breakdown of more affordable alternatives that share similar ingredients, deliver great results and get great reviews.
