{CLOSED} Boogie Wipes -- Review and Giveaway!

Contest over! Congrats to susansmoaks, entry #116! You're the winner!

I am so glad to be able to offer the first REAL review/giveaway on Angelica's Awesome Adventures!

Today we're discussing Boogie Wipes. Any of you have kids who get that one boogie stuck to their face and you just can't get it off without rubbing at it or, worse, picking it off? (Daycare moms, you know what I'm talking about!) Gross, right? Boogie Wipes uses natural saline to moisten the little booger (literally) so it comes right off!

Here are a few fun facts about Boogie Wipes (From their website, http://www.boogiewipes.com):

• Boogie Wipes are made with natural saline to dissolve boogies (mucus) caused by the common cold, allergies or otherwise booger-filled kid moments.
• Extra soft, alcohol, phthalate and paraben free.
• Available in Great Grape, Fresh Scent, Magic Menthol and Simply Unscented.
• Unique Formula Moisturizes with Added Chamomile, Vitamin E and Aloe.
• Recommended by pediatricians as a gentle, effective alternative to a dry tissue.

I was fortunate to receive our sample of Boogie Wipes right before the yuck hit our house. All three of us were down for the count and I certainly didn't have the energy to go chasing Angelica around with a tissue or baby wipe (and even baby wipes take a bit of rubbing to get that boogie off the kid's face) so I was glad to have these Boogie Wipes to try out.

The sample package we received had a full-size package of unscented Boogie Wipes, as well as individual packets of their grape, fresh, and menthol scent.

Now, my kiddo hates having her nose wiped. She always has! But the first time we opened up one of the individual packets of the grape wipes, she is constantly asking for more! Whenever she sneezes, or her face gets messy, she will say, "Mommy, I need a Boogie Wipe!" I wish I could make this sound less commercial-like, but it's true! Our days of face wiping struggles are over!

And what's better? They actually work! Those boogies, or any other messes that might be on her face, come right off, without irritation.

Boogie Wipes also has a Save the Sleeve website which helps teach your kids about the value of using a wipe for your messy nose instead of your sleeve. Check it out at http://www.savethesleeve.com!

Pros: Useful, practical, kid-friendly light scent, non-irritating and the packaging is small enough that it fits easily in a purse or diaper bag.

Cons: The menthol scent didn't go over very well with Angelica, but, the scent did work well to relieve our stuffyness! Aside from that, I have no complaints and wouldn't hesitate to purchase these in the future, especially the Grape scent!
