From the ridiculous to the sublime pretty much sums up this week's beauty launch roundup. Oscar Mayer and Campbell Soup leverage beauty for clever marketing with bologna face masks and soup-scented candles. This week also saw innovative new launches from some of beauty's hottest indie brands.

The Best Paste: Kristan Serafino, who has an Instagram following of 65K and counts Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and Shawn Mendes among her clientele, has jumped into the brand business. According to WWD, Serafino acquired Anchors Hair Co., founded by barber Ben Miller, along with its facility in April 2021, began tweaking formulas on the top five bestselling SKUs, and staged a complete rebrand. The result is a tight assortment of styling products named and formulated for their shine level and hold, all priced at $28. The brand will launch on DTC and in select salons and barbershops.

COLLABORATION AND LIMITED EDITIONS

Furtuna Skin x Jeremy Scott: The luxury skincare brand collaborated with maximalist designer Jeremy Scott on a Collector's Edition that includes four of the brand's top products and a fuzzy pink bag that doubles as a purse and travel kit. The limited edition is priced at $310 and is available at Saks Fifth Ave and Cult Beauty.

Oscar Mayer x Seoul Mamas: Oscar Mayer brings a playful spin on the often serious "New Year, New You" trope with its meaty take on the self-care space. Lindsey Ressler, Senior Marketing Analyst, Oscar Mayer, said, "Inspired by those who used to playfully make masks out of their bologna as kids, this product was born as a modern-day way to spark smiles for fans of Oscar Mayer and beauty enthusiasts alike. This is the latest in our brand movement to create work that feels more like pop-art and less like traditional commercial advertising—inspired by the old, modernized for today."

The rejuvenating face masks are limited edition and were available for purchase on Amazon. They've already sold out.

Camp x Campbell Soup: The iconic soup giant partnered with experiential retail company Camp on the release of two limited-edition candles. The Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese candle features notes of roasted tomato, peppercorn, and gooey grilled cheese, while Chicken Noodle Soup candle features notes of savory chicken, cloves, and buttery crackers. The candles will be available to purchase for $24.00 each while supplies last, with ten percent of net proceeds from total candle sales helping benefit Feeding America.
