    Eva Mendes' $15 CIRCA makeup line is happy news for thrifty shoppers like us

    She may have bagged our ultimate crush Ryan Gosling, but all is forgiven now that Hollywood beauty Eva Mendes has launched a cheap-as-chips makeup range we can all afford.

    Her new makeup line, CIRCA, has been launched in the US and ranges from $7 to $15...which is a bargain £5 to £10 across the pond.

    Speaking on Extra TV at US retail chain Walgreens earlier this week, she enthused about her thrifty makeup range revealing, ''This is an amazing opportunity for me to bring quality products to people at drugstore prices.'

    No stranger to professional beauty products, we're excited to see what Eva has designed for her own cost-cutting range.

    When it comes to her own immaculate look, Eva was quick to reveal she has plenty of 'help' when it comes to her own glossy cover shoots at the CIRCA launch. Revealing all to Extra TV she explained:

    'You’re helped in those situations, I want women at home to know, you’re lit, you’re angled, so yes, it was a few months after the baby, but with a lot of help.'

    As for her recent introduction to motherhood, Eva and Ryan Gosling's sleepless nights sound a lot like the rest of us:

    'But you never know, right. Something random can happen and just suddenly... you’re like 'wait I thought we were sleeping through the night, what’s up?!''

    Sound familiar? Nothing a dab of Eva Mendes' CIRCA makeup wouldn't sort out, we're sure. Currently only available in the States, we'll keep you posted as soon as we hear if the range is due to head to the UK. Fingers crossed...

    To curb the anticipation, Eva actually joined Instagram this month to help launch the beauty line. Her first pic? An adorable #tbt ('Throwback Thursday') photo of a young Eva, rocking a bandana and cowboy boots.

    The caption reads: 'Taking to Instagram to keep you posted on my clothing line for @nyandcompany and CIRCA Beauty (@realcircabeauty), a cosmetics line I have coming out at Walgreens. I thought this picture might be a good way to start. 38 years later and still holding strong on the head wrap comeback. X.'

    WAY too cute.
