Bath & Body Works Tutti Dolci Shower Gels, Fragrance Mists, Body Creams and Creamy Body Washes Are on Sale Now for $6

Tutti Dolci by Bath & Body Works

Let me tell ya…this whole counting calories thing? I’m still trying to lose the baby weight, and it’s the least fun thing in the whole entire world. It’s even less fun/more headache-inducing than being stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the Richmond Bridge, which is REALLY un-fun, BTW, or stepping in a pile of dog poop in a new pair of shoes.

That’s one good thing about Bath & Body Works Tutti Dolci! — no counting calories. Even though they smell like delicious dessert foods, they aren’t, which means no extra burpees. 🙂 (Side note: Burpees are the devil’s work!)

They’re baaaaaack!

I don’t know how long you’ve been into Bath & Body Works, if you’re into them at all, but if you and them go way back, you might remember the Tutti Dolci line. They’re dessert-inspired, and I think they first showed up around 10 years ago.

B&BW brings them out of retirement from time to time, and this is one of those times. They’re back, at least for now.

Did somebody say sale??

Right meow is a good time to check ’em out because B&BW is currently running a 50% off sale on Tutti Dolci. I thought it was online-only at first, but then I called them, and they said that it’s in-store too. Everything is six bucks! The Shower Gels (regularly $12.50), Fragrance Mists (regularly $14), Body Creams ($13) and Creamy Body Washes ($14.50) are just $6 each.

Hey, sugar

I usually prefer floral and citrus scents to sweet scents. I do like some dessert scents, though, but I’m picky as hell. If they’re overwhelmingly fake and cloying, where all you can smell is, I dunno…intensely sweet buttercream, for instance (like Jessica Simpson’s Dessert Body line from years ago… Remember that?), I can’t do it.

I am a grow-@ss woman, and I don’t need to be walking around with 1) my butt crack hanging out of my jeans and 2) my skin smelling like a Toddlers & Tiaras-themed birthday party.

I think Tutti Dolci gets it right. The products have notes of honey, praline and white mocha, but there are also lemon and citrus and musky notes that cut down on the sweetness, and make the fragrances more sophisticated (to me) and appropriate for grownups.

There are four different Tutti Dolci scents.

There’s Golden Honey Praline, which smells like two scoops of pralines and cream ice cream with hot espresso poured all over them (mmm…). It’s my favorite, by the way, and I use the Shower Gel, Body Cream and Fine Fragrance Mist, which are all warm and cozy and very rainy weather appropriate.

I also love the Pink Peony Creme scent, which smells like peonies (obvs), lilac and an extra tart key lime pie.

Then there’s Sweet Lemon Buttercup (mmm…), which smells like shortbread cookies, lemon bars, a hot cup of tea and white musk.

And White Mocha Kiss, which is the sweetest of the bunch. I think it smells like vanilla latte foam drizzled with caramel…

Side note: Are you as hungry as I am right now?

Live Every Day Like It’s Candle Day

December 5th, 2016 by Karen 17 Comments

Candle Day at Bath & Body Works, the once-a-year event where their $22 3-wick candles go on sale for $8.50, is like Christmas…except there’s no Santa Claus, no reindeer games, no tree, no presents, no going to Midnight mass and freezing your butt off because you got there late, and so you’re stuck sitting in the pews closest to the doors…

So, basically, the only thing it shares in common with Christmas is that it comes but once a year.

Hmm… Maybe that wasn’t the world’s best simile, but whatevs. ?

Candle Day was last Saturday, and I came, I saw, I got my 3-wick candle fix on.

Did you go?! I heard from some gals on Instagram that it was controlled chaos at some stores, with hour-long lines.

I waited until late afternoon to go because I thought the crowds would be less crazy, and even though the shelves had been pretty well picked over by then, I got in and out in less than 15 minutes with a few snazzy goodies.

But, any time you go to one of these sales, if you go late in the day after the first few waves of shoppers, it really does help to set your expectations kind of low. You might find a scent you like, but it might not be available anymore in the design you want, so you have to be cool with that.

I suggest employing a strategy similar to how one might scavenge supplies during the zombie apocalypse. Basically, there’s still good stuff out there, but it’ll be hidden.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
