Bulu Box Subscription Box Review & 50% Off Coupon – Feb 2015 Box

Bulu Box is a monthly fitness and weight loss subscription box. Their original Bulu Box is focused more on fitness and supplements, and they also have a WeightLoss box that features healthy products and diet supplements. This review is of the original Bulu Box.

Bulu Box sent me this box for review purposes. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).

Bulu Box Subscription Box Review & 50% Off Coupon – Feb 2015 Card

In past boxes there was a list of items included on a card, but with this box I just received this sheet for "28 Ways to A Healthier Heart."

I'm not sure if my box was just missing the card this month, or if they are doing away with including them.

Bulu Box Subscription Box Review & 50% Off Coupon – Feb 2015 Bare

MET-Rx ISO 20 Gel in Fruit Punch - Value $2

Balance Bare Sweet & Spicy Nut Energy Bar - Value $1.50

This Gel pouch is an interesting alternative to the protein bar. It has 20 grams of protein, 90 calories, and only a few ingredients: water, whey protein, isolate, phosphoric acid, natural flavors, and sucralose.

This Balance Bare energy bar is gluten free, non-GMO, soy free and dairy free. It also has a relatively low sugar gram count for an energy bar - 8 grams. I liked the flavor - it wasn't too spicy, but not enough to buy it again. I'll probably try some of their other flavors though.

Bulu Box Subscription Box Review & 50% Off Coupon – Feb 2015 Drink

Sant Dried Superfruit Beverage - Value $2?

Vita Perk Packets in Energy and Original - Value $1.50

TruBrain Think Drink - Value $2

Sant is a dried organic fruit (Garcinia Indica), and the concept behind Sant is creating a drink you can take anywhere without water bottles. You put 6-8 pieces of the dried fruit in water and let it infuse for at least 30 minutes. (You can adjust the sweetness and flavor by using more or less fruit, or letting it infuse for shorter or longer). At first take, I'm not loving the scent of the dried fruit, but I'll still give it a try.

These Vita Perk Packets are vitamin mixes you blend into your coffee as a different way to take your vitamins every morning. I like the idea a lot, so I'm going to test it out and see if it works with tea as well!

I wish they would have included more information with this TruBrain Drink. I'm not sure if the size included is the full size or a sample, and they aren't any ingredients on the package. (I'm having difficulty finding a complete list of ingredients on their site as well).

Verdict: This box has a value of about $9. That’s typical with what I’ve received in past boxes. The value is good if you use the 50% off coupon and get this box for $5 or less, and you take advantage of their points system.

(With the 50% off coupon you can get your monthly box for $5 (or less with an annual subscription), and then you get $1 to spend in the Bulu shop for every product you review. So this box would cost you $5 and you’d get $5 back in the shop).

I would recommend this subscription if you would buy things from Bulu Box's shop - with the Bulu Box points it basically makes the subscription a free bonus and a way to try out a few new products each month.

Do you subscribe to Bulu Box? What do you think of it?

I’ve been reading your website for around a year, but this is my first comment. I am glad you posted this coupon code because I couldn’t justify $10/month for this box before based on the reviews I was reading, but I’m happy to try it for $5. 🙂 Thanks!

I got a bulu deal too. So far my sirs box was good and second was a total joke. I even wrote to their customer service and was basically told that it is just random items, nothing they can do. This was irritating especially if I was a fully paid member! My recommendation: save your money for ipsy or go to a supplement shop and get some of their samples and some advice from someone who works around these things daily! Sketchy ingredient listing is scary and who wants a doctor bill for taking a sample?
Sorry bulu, but no thanks.

I got a three month subscription from Groupon. I received my first box this month. This box is a total waste of time! It is just an energy shot and a couple of lame vitamin samples (that, honestly, I am scared to try, because who knows what is in them!).

The only good part of this box is that it came with a “bonus” item of Zestra… the female “arousal gel.” I guess Bulu was telling me that, when I get hot and sassy, I can find me a man (or woman) and use my Zestra. My co-workers and I had a good laugh over the “bonus” item being included with the “diet” box.

Thanks, bulu, but I don’t need to be skinny to get it on!

P.S. My bulu box was way lamer than the one posted above. Maybe Liz got a better one! Mine contained an SK Energy shot, two of the same vitamin sample (no ingredients listed, so I won’t be taking them), one gummy vitamin sample and some crystal light type of drink additive, and of course, my Zestra.

It was basically a bunch of samples I could have gotten walking through a Whole Foods on a Saturday.

(I got three months for $7 through Groupon. Here’s hoping next month is better!)

Well, I haven’t received my buoy box yet so I can’t say anything about the products as of yet. I ordered my first weifhtloss buoy box on April 5, 2015. I received shipping email today saying my box has shipped. That’s a month and a half wait. Today is may 15. Hhhmmmm. Is this normal? Does anyone know? Should I check for multi charges? Seems to be happening a lot with sub boxes these days. I’ve had it happen with sample society( which they contacted me and fixed it before I even noticed), I just got an email from boxycharm telling me about a partial refund(haven’t looked into it yet) but it’s not a full box price refund, I’m thinking they just overcharged me, idk. O gees I’m so off point, sorry, ramble ramble.

Groupon Goods is running a special for 3 months for $7. I ordered it before I checked here. Hope I at least get my $7 worth

I also just signed up for the groupon deal. I am like you I have read the reviews and looked at past boxes and wasn’t too thrilled but for $7 for three months I figured it would be worth the try at least.

I’ve received three BULU boxes so far and have been really disappointed. I have used maybe 3 items and thrown the rest away. Ive received the same fat burner product in all 3 boxes!! It’s just a bunch of useless crap, not even worth the $5 or so I paid!

I am just starting on a year long diet venture so I am happy you shared this box! I just signed up for a 6 month subscription using the coupon code. I am excited to see what products I get!! Thanks for sharing – love your blog! I have been reading for a year or so…first comment though 🙂

Sant tastes disgusting. No matter if you sweeten it or not, unless you think the idea of drinking bitter rose-y tea sounds appealing.

Be very careful with a Bulu box subscription. If you buy a three- or six- month or annual subscription and you don’t cancel before the end of the subscription period, they will automatically charge you for another three, six or 12 months. I purchased a three-month subscription for $10 and at the end of that period, they charged me $30 for another 3-month subscription that I did not want (the boxes are not worth $10/box, in my opinion). And they did not send me a reminder email to cancel before the subscription ended.

I know it’s been awhile, but I’m just looking at Bulu reviews now. Thanks for that info… I would hate to spend $10/mo (of my Ipsy budget!) on this.
