The passenger simply ordered full size cosmetics to Boots at Edinburgh Airport which is located after you pass through security.
Due to ordering online you pay regular prices instead of the inflated airport ones, and all of your cosmetics are ready in an order to collect as soon as you enter the store.
In the video, she says: "Me: refusing to pay for hold luggage and ordering my toiletries to the airport so I don't need to pay airport prices."
The total price for the cosmetics comes to £8, this includes £4 for a bottle of SPF 50 suncream, a regular sized bottle of shower gel and moisturiser.
Although you do have to pay £1.50 for delivery to the store, but for full sized items this is definitely a trick to keep in mind especially if you are going away for more than three days.
Suncream can be particularly expensive at the airport and a small bottle of 100ml won't last long in a sunny destination.
She later explained in the comments, "the airport inflates all prices so this way you can buy them at normal price and don't need to pay for hold luggage.
