Take the luggage & just buy toothpaste in small tubes.

A UK standard tube of toothpaste is well under 100ml. 70, I think.

The toothpaste is the easy part. And shampoo can be re-bottled

But try getting deodorant spray in the required size (roll-on is possible).

Or solid, which counts as liquid.

Roll-on is what I usually do. Does the job, and is vastly less
inconvenient than the time taken to check in a bag. I don't normally
use shampoo on a short trip, soap does the job, and in any case it's
free in a lot of hotels if the trip happens to involve staying in one.

(Actually, given the cost of checking in a bag on many airlines, it
would actually be cheaper to buy and chuck if you couldn't be bothered
with that)

That's one of those things that I always consider, fail to do before I get
there & then check in after they've pointed out that I owe them a fortune
charge me nothing for. I'm still trying to get my head round it.

Last time I flew for a weekend break, I took a deodorant that had its
size listed only in floz... it got through, even though technically (I
found out later) it shouldn't have!

The restrictions were originally expressed (by the USA authorities) as 3
fl-oz. The Europeans then translated that into Millilitres (and rounded
it up a bit from 88). The plastic bag they go in started off life as a
US Quart - it's a standard item sold as a freezer bag.
