So there you are, minding your own beeswax, when you catch your office crush scoping the old cleavage. You smile, bat your eyelashes … and are mortified when he turns away with a decidedly bored look.

Huh? That move has brought lesser men to their knees.

Could it be your mascara? Chances are the one you’re wearing is given to smudging, smearing, and clumping — which can seriously interfere with your flirting techniques. Try Kiss Me mascara. It forms a rubbery tube around each lash as it dries, sparing you the raccoon-eyes look. Best of all, Kiss Me won’t lead to the seemingly inevitable lash losses that so many mascaras cause. To remove, just wet with warm water and pull gently. It all comes off easily in little lash-shaped tubes. (It’s kind of fun.) Your lashes stay happy and healthy.

And you can be assured of maintaining your eyelash-batting average.
