How to find your perfect skin care products? Paula Begoun in her book, “Don’t Go to the Cosmetics Counter without Me”, has exposed the cosmetics industry. She has explored the false claims of big names and discussed at length the side effects of various ingredients of skin care products.  The decision gets even tougher if you have sensive skin or skin with a particular problem, since many products might react and worsen your problem.  If you don’t want to compromise your beauty, you should be really careful and do thorough research before buying a product.  But the question remains “How”???

Find Your Perfect Apparel with MyShoppingPal.com’s Smart Tools
2007-12-05 09:26:00
According to study "The State of Retailing Online 2007" conducted by Forrester Research, the apparel category reached $18.3 billion in 2006 and it is first time it surpassed the money spent on Computers or Electronics. Even though the online sales clothing, shoes, and bags have increased significantly, these sales are just 2% of the total sales, and return rates are twice compared to other product categories.  Even today most people are averse to buying online,  because it is difficult for people to figure out whether an item is right or not. The reason behind high return rate is that consumers end up buying items which don’t suit them. So where is the solution? To address this very problem of suitability, MyShoppingPal.com recently started public beta for a personalized shopping engine which helps users find what works well for them.

Buying Guide: Diamond Beauty, Quality, and Price
2007-11-19 09:21:00
The price of diamonds depends on their beauty and rarity. In technical terms, four factors Clarity, Color, Cut, and Carat Weight are used to characterize diamonds. Clarity: it tells you how clear or clean the diamond is. Usually most diamonds will contain some sort of blemishes (imperfections outside of a diamond), and inclusions (imperfections inside a diamond). The clarity grades established by Gemological Institute of America (GIA) are FL, IF, VVS1, VVS2, VS1, VS2, SI1, SI2,I1, I2, and I3, where the best is Flawless (FL) and the worst is I3. In general, it is recommended people buy diamonds with at least SI1 clarity. If you shop around, you can buy SI1 for the same price that most I2 stones are sold for. Color: Diamonds come in all colors of the rainbow, from violet to shades of blue, brown, gray, and orange. The colored diamonds are rare and very expensive. The chances are that the diamonds you will see in your shopping will be white or yellow, the whiter the diamond the bette...

MyShoppingPal.com, a personalized shopping search engine, today launched an improved virtual personal shopper tool for jeans, which helps users find their perfect jeans.

This tool uses the fitting, leg type, rise and wash type, and brand intelligence for jeans to figure whether the jeans will look good on you, and fit you right. It also combines the expert knowledge with your personal style and preferences to find items that work well for you.

Personalization: Collaborative Filtering vs Prediction Based on Benefit The
2007-11-06 02:12:00
Recommender systems such Amazon and Netflix use collaborative filtering to automate the process of recommending products and services to consumers. The collaborative filtering systems produce personal recommendations by computing similarity between your preference and others. The idea is simple. If you need to select an item from the multitude of options with which you don’t have any experience, you will rely on the choices made by other people who have same preference and tastes as yours.  Most collaborative filtering systems use the following methods: Record the preferences of a large group of people. Select group of people whose preferences are similar to yours using a similarity metric. These are the people who have same taste in things as you do. Recommend options to you which other people who are in the same group as you prefer or like. This type of recommendation systems have known to really work well for books, music, movies, etc. On the other hand, they do...

MyShoppingPal.com Color Analysis For You

Whenever you are out to buy anything from apparels to cosmetics, the first thing in your mind is its color. While most of us decide “which color to buy?” by checking out “which color we don't have in our wardrobe”, we still wear some particular colors too often. But do you have a more scientific and logical reason for buying colors? Do you know about the various effects a color can create? Do you know how are you perceived on the basis of the color you are wearing? The color theory is a vast study and you must have read about the energies radiated by different colors, in many books. Color s can reflect your mood is also a well known fact with red exhibiting confidence, soft and light tones exhibiting friendliness and approachability and many such things. But, are you aware of the fact that we all can be classified into different color types based on our skin, hair and eye color. And this is why we wonder “why some particular colors look good on others and not on us”. So...

Experience Personalized Shopping With MyShoppingPal.com
2007-09-09 03:56:00
How many times have you visited shopping websites in search of an item of your choice just to be bogged down by the heap of products? Though online shopping claims to provide you the best possible variety which you can't find in one particular store, it also adds to your confusion. The search process becomes more tiresome and time consuming. And the problem lies in the fact that the results generated by these sites are far from what users wants. When you visit a store, then you talk to the salesperson about your likes and dislikes so that he/she shows only those items which follow your taste, instead of wasting time by looking at other items. But alas, shopping engines are not so intelligent to understand what's on your mind! This drawback should not hold e-retailing back and to overcome this, an intelligent shopping engine MyShopping Pal.com has been launched recently which can provide you a customized shopping experience.

Sneak Peek into the Future of Fashion Shopping

Have you ever imagined how people will shop online ten years from now? Not just shopping for gadgets and gizmos. We are talking about shopping for fashion goods: clothes, shoes, jewelry, cosmetics, etc. Internet has totally changed the landscape of shopping for computer and electronics. Even when people buy in a store, their decisions on what to buy is pretty much decided by their research on the Internet. This transition started in 1995, and by 2005 the total change was in place. When it comes to shopping for fashion goods, the brick and mortar stores continue to dominate when it comes to shopping for life style goods, especially fashion goods. Online sales for these products are still only 2% of their total sales. In general, shoppers still have fear of buying without seeing or feeling or trying on. However, a new change has already taken its root. In 2006, the online sales of apparel crossed the sales of computers and electronics. Many young people are now open to shoppin...

Is It Possible to Buy Health & Beauty Products Safely on The Internet?
2007-08-18 03:35:00
The online shopping for health & beauty products is increasing, but still it is very small percentage of the total sales for these products. Even when we can save over 50% when you shop online, most of us find it safer to go to a department store or a boutique and pick the shade and color of these items with the help of a sale associate. Not many of us know that the sales people in most stores will rarely discuss the side effects and negatives of these products for you. Their commission is tied to how much they sell every day. Paula Begoun in her book, “Don’t Go to the Cosmetics Counter without Me”, has exposed the cosmetics industry.
