Bath & Body Works Temptations Cinnamon Bun Heaven 3-in-1 Body Wash, Bubble Bath, & Shampoo Review

The Verdict:  Temptations Cinnamon Bun Heaven is not bad.   But don't expect it to smell like actual cinnamon buns with real cinnamon and real sugar.

Just the Facts:  Cinnamon Bun Heaven is a 3-in-1 that is part of the Temptations line of products available at Bath & Body Works.  It is a body wash, bubble bath, and shampoo all in one.  The gel is extremely light tan in color and moderately thick.  I have only seen this scent in the 16 ounce size which sells in stores and online for $12.  They do sometimes go on sale so you might find it cheaper as the fall and winter seasons wear on.  

I am very into scent when I'm in the shower or bath.  I especially love fruit and baked goods scents and prefer them to smell like the real thing.  I've tried 3-in-1 products in red velvet cake scent, cherry pie, scent, apple scent, and more that all smell really good so I had high hopes for Cinnamon Bun Heaven.  Unfortunately it did not deliver.  While this product does create a thick mass of lather and it cleanses and rinses well, it just does not smell like I was hoping it would.  It's partly my own fault for ordering it online without smelling it first.  Had I done that I would have realized immediately that the scent is not like real cinnamon buns but more like cinnamon Red Hots or cinnamon gum.  I was expecting a real cinnamon, sugar, and bread scent, not the sickly sweet scent of cinnamon candy.  Yuck. 

I used Cinnamon Bun Heaven once as a bubble bath and it performed OK; not huge masses of bubbles but not horrible either.  These products do not typically perform well as shampoos so I did not bother to try it in that capacity, mostly because I did not want my hair to have that fake cinnamon scent lingering on it. 

Star Power:  ****3 stars****  While Cinnamon Bun Heaven is not totally disgusting, it does not smell liked baked cinnamon buns.  Some may like the scent but I do not.  Oddly enough my husband liked it and took it off my hands so I didn't have to throw it out.  Minus two stars for scent and because it is not a good shampoo and only a decent bubble bath.
