Before we pinned Eva Mendes down for an adorable interview about her just-launched New York & Company collaboration, we loved Eva Mendes. But after speaking candidly with the star about her beauty insecurity, her dream job and what it was like working with Nick Cage, we’re even more in love. Plus, for any 9 to 5, her pieces are totally affordable and wearable…even QT with one beloved blonde may not be involved our day-to-day.
