Beautiful Word of the Day

Every once in a while I will present a beautiful word of the day, no rhyme or reason, you NEVER know when you’ll read one!

The first beautiful word of the day is…

eponymous

I must admit I had little to no idea what eponymous meant so I had to look it up!  Since then I see this word EVERYWHERE.  Seems there are lots of people ‘lending their name to products, lines, places and things…’ 

Some eponymous beauty connections:

  • Serge Lutens known as a perfumier launched his first eponymous cosmetics line in August.
  • Rachel Roy launched her eponymous collection in spring of 2005.
  • Sonia Kashuk’s eponymous line available @ target.
  • One of my very favorite makeup lines, Francois Nars’ eponymous NARS collection.
  • Perhaps the most famous eponymous product of all time is Coco Chanel’s, Chanel No. 5. (you don’t need a source for this one do you?!)

There are so many more, I could literally go on for days and days…  so my question to you is, if you had an eponymous line yourself what would the product be? hmmm…
