It's an expense we often forget about when it comes to going on holiday - that hurried, last-minute purchase once you get through airport security of some random beauty essentials you'd never normally use.

As an example, you can save 50% on buying separate sunscreens with this Marks and Spencer Ultrasun family SPF bundle, £38.
These beauty bundles can be used for travel, or as an affordable starter kit to try out a new brand, or even as a gift to someone.
