Bath and Body Works, Temptations Perfect Peach 3 in 1

Maybe it’s the alluring scent the Bath and Body works gives off as I pass their store, or maybe it’s just fact that I got a $100 gift card to the store this past holiday. But whatever it is, I keep going back, even though the gift card is already tapped out.

My recent addiction is the 3 in 1 temptations. My first love was Iced Tea Twist, and since then, it’s been a pure obsession, with adding every different scent available, my bathroom now looks like it has exploded.

Perfect Peach was a necessity, even though I’ve never been overly fond of peaches. I took a sniff of it in the store, and it was pretty close to the smell of an actual peach. I decided to add it to my already overfilled shopping basket (just because I could). Basically I’m saying this purchase was a whim.

It comes in a 16 oz bottle for $12 or a 4oz bottle for $5. I myself went with the 4oz bottle only because I wasn’t head over heels ‘in love’ with the scent. For me, it was just OK.

I had to put it to the test in the same manner I had all of my temptation 3 in 1 products. The bubble bath test, the shampoo test, and my favorite the body wash test.

BUBBLE BATH-

THE GOOD-

Perfect Peach passed ‘perfectly’ like I had expected it would. I put in a small amount, even though the bottle recommends 2 to 3 capfuls. I always use less seeing how these scents are all ‘limited editions’ and eventually won’t be carried in the store or the online store once the season passes.
I got a decent amount of bubbles, and they lasted for a good 15 to 20 minutes. Not only that but my whole bath time smelt like a peach fruit cocktail- (with a twist).

THE BAD-

The product no longer smelt the same as it did in the bottle. It now smelt generic, and a bit like toxic peaches. Chemically. I don’t know if it is my water or what, but the scent wasn’t very pleasant. It however also wasn’t disgusting, but it definitely was not the same scent in the bottle.

I’d rate the bubble bath usage a 4. Based on a 1-10 rating, 10 being the highest, and 1 being the worst.

SHAMPOO TIME-

I was able to get a nice lather going with only a small quarter sized amount. It smelled really good. However that chemical stink was present again like it was in the bubble bath.
I was also very hesitant on using this as a shampoo seeing how none of the 3 in 1 temptation products in the past ever worked out well.

Sure enough, it was awful. No big surprise there. I should have learned my lesson by now; perfect peach turned my hair into a big knotty out of control dried out mess.
If you’re going to use ANY of the temptations as a shampoo, make sure you have an excellent moisturizing conditioner to use afterwards.

BODY WASH-

This is the main reason for my 3 in 1 temptation purchases. I love the way it stinks up my bathroom, and gives me an intoxicating aromatherapy session. Perfect peach did just that. I liked it; it left no residue behind on my skin, and I felt clean.
However (there is always a ‘however’) it smelled like a chemical peach. The realistic smell of this product is only in the bottle. Once it hits water, it fades into something else. Like I said though, its not a horrible smell, its not a great one though either.

Not only that, but this scent only lasts in the shower. I didn’t mind that with my other Temptation purchases because of the wonderful smell they let off during my bath. But this one didn’t give me that wonderful scent I was expecting.


So basically if you like the smell of peaches, and don’t mind that fake chemically smell, then I guess it’s a good buy for only $5. But if you’re after that intoxicating aromatherapy, heavenly like bath, this will sadly disappoint.

Bath and Body Works, Temptations, Cinnamon Bun Heaven Body Lotion

I smell good enough to eat. Literately. I'm not even kidding.

I myself have never been fond of cinnamon scents, they make my nose cringe, and I start having sneeze fits. I first did a sniff test of the Cinnamon Bun Heaven 3 in 1 bath product, and I was not too thrilled, so I left it behind.

On a recent trip back to ‘my’ local hot spot (Bath & Body Works) I pretty much had everything in the temptations line, except for this one, and Banana Smoothie. I decided maybe I would give the Cinnamon Bun Heaven lotion a try.

I have never been a lotion fan, but after discovering how wonderful Temptations lotions are after purchasing Alluring Apple lotion, I knew my 3 in 1 collection had to expand into purchasing their sister lotions.

My whoffie of whoof Gods, this stuff smelled delicious. Not only that, it was the last bottle in the store besides the tester (this stuff must be popular).
I had to have it. It smelled just like fresh baked Cinnabuns cinnamon buns. There is also a lovely subtle hint of vanilla, making you feel warm and relaxed once the scent hits your nose; it also hits all of your other senses. Yep, even your mouth will water.

For only $8 I really felt as if I was getting it for a steal, and I held on tight, I knew I had the last one. MINE! Don’t even look at it lady!

Cinnamon Bun Heaven came in a 10 ounce bottle with a click cap. The packaging was the same as the 3 in 1 washes.

IT WAS DELICIOUS-

Bath & Body Works Cinnamon Bun Heaven smells so true to a real cinnamon bun that I actually felt like I would gain weight just by sniffing it. How can something that smells so good not be bad for my skin? Surely this stuff would make me break out in zits right? Wrong, so far I have been using this lotion daily for almost a week now, and I can actually see and feel a difference in my skin. It is now smoother, and there is not one sign of a yucky little pimple on my body. Oh and it’s fat free, hehe.

This deliciously smelling lotion not only made my skin smooth, but it also worked wonders on my dryer areas on my body. It leaves no sticky nasty greasy feeling behind like a lot of lotions do.

I would however give it a good 5 minutes to completely absorb into your skin before throwing your clothes on if lotion sticking on clothing bothers you.

*I actually put my clothes on while the lotion is still drying; the scent lingers all throughout my clothing if when I do this. The wet sticky feeling is barely recognizable, so I guess it would be okay to do the same. I can also proudly report that it will not stain if you happen to plop some out on your clothes by accident.

YOU BETTER HURRY!

This is a limited edition scent. It goes away and is sealed in the vault like a Disney classic. So stock up now while you can. I am noticing that it is not even available on the www.bathandbodyworks.com site as of now. So I am assuming I got extremely lucky when I came across this ‘it’s so stinky it’s good’ in the store recently. If you have a rare run in with this scent at a local store, don’t pass it by. Before you know it money hungry folks will be selling it on Ebay for double the price. As of now only the 3 in 1 Cinnamon Bun Heaven is available on the site. It’s a cruel world I tell ya.

HERE IS THE BEST PART

If you are able to get it, Cinnamon Bun Heaven body lotion lasts, and lasts, and lasts. Maybe not in the bottle seeing how you will be using this one daily, but it lasts on your skin. It’s like the energizer bunny in lotions. I cover my body with it in the morning, and by 5o’clock I can still smell its sweet aroma all around me. It’s pure bliss.

AROMA POWER-

Beyond 8 hours. I have never found a lotion where the scent stays with me for so long. I’m not even exaggerating here. It seriously stays with you, and what’s the MOST EXCELLENT is that if you start to feel a little hot, or your body warms up, the lotions smell becomes stronger.

It just smells so darn good, that I’m being taunted by my skin to taste it, ‘Lick me… yummy… Oh just go ahead and taste me…. You know you want to…
Okay, don’t mind if I do. Mm, Not bad.

RECOMMENDATION-

I’m not a Cinnamon fan, like I have said before, but I am a fan of this product, so I can honestly say that even non-fans of cinnamon smells and non-fans of Cinnamon buns (like me) in general will find this scent intoxicating and will love it.

So basically what I’m saying is that I can honestly say I would recommend this to everyone, and anyone.
