File this one under "It's about time:" As part of the 2012 iF Design Talents compititon, four designers have created the Chameleon Bandage, which changes color to perfectly match your skin tone when you stick it on.

I don't know about you, but I've always wondered what genius decided that band-aids should be a tan tint that doesn't quite work with anyone's skin tone. After all, no one -- not even Barbie -- has skin that's the same hue as the bandages available right now.

That's why I stopped using beige band-aids years ago. When I need one, I slap on a multicolored Hello Kitty or Cynthia Rowley design. But while that's fine when I have a paper cut or razor knick on my leg, it's a different story when I burn my chin with my curling iron. There's no way I'm wearing a floral band-aid on my face.

With wedding season in full swing, brides aren't the only ones spending money beyond their means. Between bridesmaid dresses, travel costs and wedding presents, summers can get expensive. So we found a way to cut costs for a big day: do your own hair and makeup. We checked in with Nexxus Creative Director Kevin Mancuso to find out how to create an easy, wedding-friendly updo at home, so you don't have to splurge on styling too. Here's what the styling extraordinaire told us to create:

Step 1: Spray Nexxus Lavish Body Spray Gel ($11, Ulta.com) on your roots. Next, apply mousse, like Nexxus ProMend Split End Binding Bodifying Mousse ($12, Walgreens.com), all over your hair to get an even texture and smooth any fly aways. Our hair was dry when these products were applied, but damp, freshly washed hair would be preferable.

Step 2: Blow-dry your hair, but instead of using a brush, use your fingers for a brushless blow-dry. While drying, pull your fingers through your hair to add

Pink Jeanne SagerYou would think the self-confidence came before the pink hair dye. But it's been the opposite. Before I went Katy Perry pink, I was having the kind of summer that makes me dread what used to be my favorite season.

My thighs are feeling especially cottage cheesy in my shorts. My forehead especially acne-ridden from the sweat. Do I really need to keep going here? Basically I felt like everywhere I went, there was an announcer with a bullhorn yelling, "Come one, come all to gawk at the woman who desperately needs to hit the gym and get fit!" And in the middle of all of it, I decided to add pink hair dye so my head would scream "look at me, look at me!"

I swear I'm not crazy (OK, I am, but only in the "she's a blast on girls' night" kind of way). It works!

First, I owe you a little back story. Ever since my now 7-year-old daughter was teeny tiny, I have shaved my head to help St.

 Upton's controversial curvesModel Kate Upton's va-va-voom physique has been in the news since she lit up the cover of Sports Illustrated in February. She isn't your typical model--at least not your typical rail thin millennial cat walker. The voluptuous twenty-year-old is more of a throwback to the late 1980s early '90s when glamazons like Cindy Crawford dominated the fashion pages and Anna Nicole Smith first posed for Guess.

Watch: Kate Upton's Sexy Habit

Not everyone in the world of fashion and beauty approves. "She's like a Page 3 girl," Sophia Neophitou, who books Victoria's Secret Shows, told the New York Times earlier this year referring to the half-naked women featured in British tabloids. "She's like a footballer's wife, with the too-blond hair and that kind of face that anyone with enough money can go out and buy."

The blogger, "Skinny Gurl," who critiqued Upton's curves as "lardy" last week went even farther. Skinny Gurl's blog, SkinnyGossip, is one of many so-called "thinspiration" sites

Because you can't wear a topknot every day without people thinking you haven't showered, the DailyCandy editors tested every frizz fighter, wave maker, and hair mask under the sun, so you are your best tressed all summer long.

Sea air and saltwater might be good for the soul but not for your locks. To avoid a sea witch hairstyle after a day at the beach, we slathered on Fekkai's naturally cooling cream for frizz-free mermaid hair instead.

Most Improved Hairbrush
New York editor Jordan has a love-hate relationship with her five-pound mane (exhibit A). Goody's brush cut her wet-to-dry time from 25 minutes to eighteen, but she wishes the blue squeegee nubs were thirstier. Be sure to sandwich strands between the brush and your free hand to optimize absorbency.
