I’m Quinn McCormick, Co-Founder and Creative Director at RHEA Creative, an agency shaping the architecture of modern brand building. Originally from Vancouver, Canada, I now live in Southern California. Before founding RHEA, I worked as a designer at Aritzia and Frankies Bikinis. I love all things design and art, and when I’m not creating, I’m spending time in nature with my fiancé and our adorable black lab, Rosie.
Q: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ANFISA SKIN PRODUCT?
QM: The ÂN-GLOSS! I keep one in every bag and use it every day! It’s amazing for hydration, and the tinted shades are perfect when I want to add a little extra to a natural look.
Q: TOP THREE RIDE-OR-DIE SKINCARE PRODUCTS?
QM:
- The Marie Veronique Pure + E.O. Free Oil Cleaner — My absolute go-to! I’ve been using it for a couple of years now, and as someone with naturally dry skin, it has completely transformed my skin!
- Lesse Ritual Serum — This has been a newer addition to my routine, and I’m obsessed. It gives such a boost of hydration and leaves my skin with the most gorgeous glow.
- Tammy Fender Epi Peel Mask — My holy grail when my skin needs a deep exfoliation. It always leaves me feeling so refreshed.
Q: FAVORITE WELLNESS RITUAL OR DAILY HABIT?
QM: I like to start every day with meditation, it really sets the tone and puts me in such a good mindset. Sticking with it consistently has made a noticeable difference for both my mind and body. Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of TBM by Lacy Phillips, usually while sitting on my meditation pillow with my Omnilux red light mask on!
Q: HOW DO YOU INCORPORATE ANFISA SKIN INTO YOUR ROUTINE?
QM: I love layering the ÂN-GLOSS over a lip liner to finish a makeup look, or using the original shade before bed so I wake up with plump, hydrated lips!
Q: ANY UNCONVENTIONAL BEAUTY SECRETS YOU SWEAR BY?
QM: I’m always down to try unconventional beauty or wellness hacks, and one of my favorites is doing a castor oil pack at night for detox. When I’m consistent, I notice such a difference in my overall health and skin!
Q: HOW DO YOU STAY UP-TO-DATE ON NEW PRODUCTS, BRANDS, AND TREATMENTS?
QM: I usually ask my friend Evie from Valle Atelier, she always has the best recommendations. I also love going into local skincare and beauty shops and talking to someone in person. In San Diego, ShopGood is incredible, and in LA, I love popping into Goop or Violet Grey.
Q: ANY LIFE-CHANGING BEAUTY TREATMENTS WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?
QM: As a designer, I spend so much time at my computer, so anything that supports lymphatic drainage is great for me. I love using a dry brush before a shower or sauna, and I try to book a monthly massage, which makes such a difference for both muscle tension and posture! Honestly, I think consistency in anything is truly life-changing!
Q: DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR STARTING OUT IN YOUR CAREER?
QM: There are so many, but I’d say the most important are finding something you truly care deeply about, embracing mistakes as part of the process, and committing to hard work and consistency.
Q: WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO START YOUR OWN BUSINESS?
QM: Founding an agency has always been a dream of mine, and after several years working in-house, the timing felt perfect to take the next step in my career. I’m incredibly grateful to work closely with such talented, inspiring people who continue to motivate me every day.
Q: GO-TO LIP COMBO AT THE MOMENT?
QM: I’ve been loving the new Spice Cake ÂN-GLOSS shade, with the Fara Homidi lip pencil in the shade Faun for fall!
