 I don’t have kids but I have beautiful nieces and an awesome nephew. The inner child in me tested these myself and I was very impressed. The Bluetooth stereo headphones were amazing and I tested how far I could roam from my iPhone with no interruption.

Within minutes of application, the appearance of the undereye area is improved with more dramatic results over time. For more information or to purchase a FAB’s Detox Eye Roller click here.
