Tucked away in the Albertsons shopping center in Calabasas (practically Agoura) is a little shop called Escentials. And boy is it filled with essentials! They have everything you need to stay glamorous and fresh.

The owner, Penny Hakian, is a stylist who worked in the movie business and has done a great job stocking hair and beauty products that are not available in mall stores. You can stop by and Penny will advise you on the best products that will suit your individual needs. She is so knowledgable about all things skincare!

I had the chance to talk to Jenny Patrick, a make up artist and stylist who works at Escentials. Customers stop in for a quick make over from Jenny and the latest scoop on all the new products. One of their new hot products is Revitalash. It looks like mascara but has ingredients that help your eyelashes grow longer. They offer it to their customers at a great price and it flies out the door. Jenny also recommends One cream. It is a 10 in 1 multi treatment facial cream that simplifies your beauty routine with this One product that does it all.

Escentials is the “go to” store for great unusual gift items. They have an amazing perfume selection with a perfume bar to concoct your own custom scent. So much fun! They have tons of cool jewelry made by local artists, beautiful candles and a children’s section. You can find a gift for anyone on your list, including men. The complimentary gift wrapping is adorable. They have a fabulous esthetician available as well. Even Brittany Spears has stopped in for the hard to find beauty items!
