Bulubox March 2014 Review

I've been getting Bulu Box for two months now.  I first discovered it on Groupon and I got three months for $15.  So far, its been worth the $5/mo and I think I will continue to subscribe.

Bulu Box is a health and nutrition box.  They strive to provide enough product for you to decide if you really like it or not.

The Cost: $10/mo.  Use coupon code: BULUGAN669 to get 50% off any length subscription!

What You Get: Each month, you’ll get a custom box filled with a new mix of 4 to 5 premium samples from top brands to try. Every sample is sufficient enough to decide if the product is right for you. Of course, shipping is always free and you can cancel anytime.

Bulubox has two options, regular and weight loss, I chose weight loss mainly I wouldn't get too weird of items.They have a points program also.  You can give your reviews of each product and get points to spend on their website.  I didn't realize this at first and missed out.

 

In this months box I received six products.  I was pleasantly surprised with the variety and also the realization that I might even end up using most of these.  Well, between my husband and I that will happen.

The box comes with an information card describing everything you've received.  There is also a lot of promotional materials included, as well.  Many of them contain coupons for when you decide to purchase the full size versions.

NuviaTrim Gourmet Weight Loss Coffee- One of the things that tends to weird me out about "health" boxes, is that they send the weirdest stuff.  You know, the kind of thing that's never been approved by the FDA or with "claims not verified" written on the side of the bottle.  This is Green Bean Coffee with Raspberry Ketones. Hmm...
Full Size Value: $35/30 packets
Included Size: 2 packets

 K-Pax Energy-a combination of vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants and caffeine to keep you up and ready with no sugars or artificial flavors.
Full Size Value: $25/30 tablets
Included Size: FULL SIZE

BodyGlove Surge Energy Gel: Green Tea and Honey Protein Power.  I read the ingredients and its so many different kinds of sugar as the first ingredients.  Then Whey protein (which I like) and it has 150mg of caffeine as well.
Full Size Value: $25/12 packets
Included Size: 1 packet

 

VanaPain PM- a quick pain reliever for head, back and muscle aches.  It contains Chlorine Salicylate (NSAID) and Diphenhydramine HCI (Benedryl).  Its strawberry flavor.  I seriously am going to take this tonight.

Full Size Value: $3.20/bottle

Included Size: FULL SIZE

Havven Go Stick: a dietary supplement that you mix with water.  It claims to do many miraculous things that I won't repeat here because they are patently impossible.  The ingredients they list (although I had to hunt it down online) are mostly vitamins, along with "a proprietary formula".   Also, mine arrived with a hole in it so I'm leery about trying it.  I think I'll contact their customer service and see what they say.  This is basically a great vitamin supplement and I'd like to try it and see how it tastes.

Full Size Value: $65/30 sticks

Included Size: 1 stick

Rootology Breathe Free: herbal extracts formulated to support nasal, sinus and eye health.  Im giving this to my husband to try.  Although one packet arrived with smashed capsules, the other one is intact.  Im not even sure how they got smashed since nothing else in the box is heavy.
Full Size Value: $19/40 count
Included Size: 2 packets of 2 capsules (if you include the smashed ones)

VERDICT:  This box is worth about $37 and I only paid $5.  Its a pretty good box with some items that we will absolutely use.  Hubby will get the energy pack and protein and the Rootology bits and probably the coffee, too.  But I will try the VanaPain and maybe the KPax energy tablets.  Its a fun box and I'm going to use the code I mentioned above to get another three month subscription.  How's that for an endorsement :)  I'm going to contact them about the damaged product and see what they say.
As a side note, I didn't review my first box which I really liked.  In fact, I liked it so much I'm probably going to purchase one of the products in there.  Especially since this box came with a coupon for it!
