peer agreement (net): +1| cils fortes, gainés, seyants lush, well-covered, seductive Explanation: I guess "cils forts, gainés, seyants" are literally "thick, sheathed and becoming"...but that wouldn't sound too hot and you've got some latitude with a marketing text... so how about "lush, well-covered. Soft, shiny, sexy and seductive..."? Goog luck! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 24 mins (2005-06-21 23:47:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or maybe \"voluminous, velvety and voluptuous\"! Have fun! |

peer agreement (net): +4| cils forts, gainés, seyants strong, thick, gorgeous Explanation: "strong and thick" is a common combination in mascara ads. "well-covered" seems a bit literal, no? "seyant" is literally "becoming" but that sounds awkward. something like gorgeous, beautiful, etc would be better, i think. |
