alternative to benefit 'you rebel'

Hello.
Well, as the title suggests, I am looking for an alternative to the Benefit 'you rebel lite'.
I have been using it for years, and find it provides me with a nice even skin tone. I am lucky that despite having bad acne in my early 20s, my skin is pretty clear now and not scarred, and I don't like the feel of heavier products.
But, at nearly £25 a tube, which lasts me approximately 7 months, I am wondering if there's a cheaper alternative?
My make up routine is quite simple, I have my eye lashes tinted, so tend not to bother with mascara unless it's a special occasion. So it's generally base, concealer under eyes, a sweep of powder and a bit of cheekmate on my lips (and cheeks if I am looking particularly ghost like!)
Does anyone have any money- saving suggestions?

thanks Citygirl1, I had been looking online at that.
I think I will call into Boots at some point this week and have a look0 -
Well I bought the body shop's all-in-one BB cream in end.
I have to say, I really like the way it looks on my skin, I bought the lightest shade which gives me a healthy colour, and I can blend some cheek stain over the top really well. It's a light coverage, and feels really light on my skin, more what I would expect from a tinted moisturiser than a BB cream.
It does make my skin look really greasy though, I have had to reapply powder twice today, and normally would only do so once, if at all.
It also doesn't have any SPF, which is another downside, and one I didn't think to check before buying. I always wear a moisturiser with an SPF underneath my make up anyway, so I am not too worried this time of year (I barely seem to see daylight!), but I will probably try something else when it runs out, or in spring next year.0
