January in the beauty industry is always about clean, natural and minimal after the excess and glitter of the holiday season. In Canada there's always an increase in advertising in moisturizers as well. Would my January Glymm Box follow this trend? Let's see.
First, for reference, here's what Glymm is:

From hair care to skin care, make-up to brushes and tools, your life will be so beautiful and you will love switching it up every month! - from the Glymm.com FAQs
The image on the insert card has soft, natural, clean makeup and grooming. There's a glow to the photo as if she's standing in a snowy field. She's wearing a fur hat or hood, so clearly she's cold. Check, check, check!

Canada's favourite beauty brand uses nature's best resources such as milk and honey to soothe, soften, and hydrate dry skin without making it feel greasy.

I've tried (and liked) this lotion. See my review here.
