Katarina Kovacevic, The Beauty Scout Leader

Katarina Kovacevic’s love for publishing dates back to a childhood obsession with writing and glossy magazines, a love that may or may not have taken shape as a digital ’zine or two back when the internet was known only as “AOL.” As the managing editor of the Arizona Spa Girls blog, she combines her passion for grammar (yes – it’s true) with her love of all things spa and beauty. A travel writer by trade, Katarina is open to trying it all but is happiest after a day of spa pampering.

Emily Couch, The Renaissance Woman

Emily is a multi-disciplined beauty expert who’s obsessed with fashion, style, tiny puppies, pretending to work out at the gym and all things sparkly. This Renaissance woman started her writing career as a blogger and made a seamless transition to writing for SmartFem, a female advocacy company where she muses on the topic of green living and dabbles occasionally in dating advice. Emily co-authored a book about style and confidence called “Does This Ponytail Make My Butt Look Big?” She has a heart for non-profit and is currently the marketing and communications manager for an organization that provides shelter services to the homeless.

Melissa Matthews, The Beauty-a-holic

Melissa Matthews’ frequent Sephora purchases have resulted in limited counter space in the bathroom. A makeup lover since receiving her first Tinkerbell cosmetic kit at the age of four, Melissa was the go-to girl in college for helping friends primp before a night on the town. She loves the challenge of finding the perfect mascara (Maybelline Falsies), discovering a dreamy fragrance (currently obsessed with Versace Crystal Noir) and hunting down a replacement for her beloved – but old – Shu Uemura eyelash curler (Holy Grail curler still undiscovered).

Samantha McIntosh, The Girl’s Girl

Armed with her stilettos and a teasing comb, Samantha McIntosh is always on the lookout for everything pink, girly and fabulous. What started as a desire for big hair turned into full-blown product obsession, leaving this Spa Girl scouring the beauty boutiques for the latest in hair products, cosmetics, polishes and more. When she’s not sampling the latest beauty finds, Samantha is poised in a pedicure chair or relaxing after a long day of endurance training on the massage table – deep tissue please!
