When payday comes around, it's a joyful day for many. It's a weight off the shoulders of those who have been scrimping on their last pennies for the last week and an opportunity for shopaholics to invest in some retail therapy. And for beauty lovers, Sephora has some incredible deals on to make payday just that extra bit sweet - and one can get you £411 worth of beauty products for only £85.

Containing seven full size products and five fun size, Sephora's gift to you, as you celebrate the receipt of your shiny paycheck, is ESTÉE LAUDER's Blockbuster Gift Set which is chocca block with serums, moisturisers, cleansers, eye creams and more - and is a hit with make up buffs every single year.

The caveat is you must spend £50 across Estée Lauder at Sephora in order to receive the set for £85. But with the products themselves costing that and higher, if you're a fan of the brand, it's totally worth it.

Not convinced?

Well, the Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Multi- Recovery Complex itself, beloved by Molly-Mae Hague, costs £65 while the Advanced Night Cleansing Gelée with 15 Amino Acids is £34. The Revitalizing Supreme+ Youth Power Creme Moisturiser is £69 so you've already topped the £135 total to bag this deal with three of the seven products already.

In addition to glorious skincare that leaves your complexion "so glowy and healthy", the set includes a handful of make up supplies which we all know are going to be excellent quality. The Limited Edition Eye Shadow Palette in CELESTIAL GLAM, two limited edition lip glosses and lipsticks, Double Wear 24H Stay-in-Place Lip Liner and the Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volumizing Mascara. Plus, it all comes in a deep red (so on trend) deluxe train case that's been made with 100% recycled fabric.

Those who have got their hands on this box set already have been bowled over by the contents inside, with a handful commenting: "WOW, What a wonderful surprise for this years Blockbuster gift set. 7, that's right, Seven full sized products, plus many more goodies besides. When they say the true value is £411, they really mean it."

"The box is worth a lot more if bought individually. I always buy the eye makeup remover and serum and so this box is very economical. I am surprised that it has not sold out," said another.

A third stated: "Estée Lauder have excelled themselves this year. I always purchase the Blockbuster and have never been disappointed however I think this year it's arguably one of the best. Firstly the case is beautiful, well made and looks classy but the contents are some of my favourites and make this Blockbuster such excellent value. I'm impressed."

While the majority of shoppers loved the set, there were a fair few who didn't quite get on with the make up shades. One said: "I love that this has the skincare items in so thats a win but the make up colours each year are so limited - why cant you include a colour and neutral palette so its more suitable for everyone, Im sure it would sell more?? Also maybe a blusher as opposed to eyeshadows an odd time? for variety."

While this is already out on the Sephora website (it can also be found on the LOOKFANTASTIC site), Sephora is doing a handful of other deals to help alleviate your payday spending.

With the code PAYDAY15, you can get 15% off your shop, which will last until 23:59 on October 30.

Now, Sephora isn't the only place with some top notch payday deals on make up. LOOK FANTASTIC is also selling this gift set at the same rate here. The beauty retailer is also offering 20% off its Lancôme Advanced Genifique Serum 30ml Gift Set (Worth £114.28). Cult Beauty is also jumping on the bargain with 5% off its £225 advent calendar (that's worth over £1000). If you're more of a fan of Boots, it is offering 30% off when you spend £40 on selected No7 items with the special code NO7SAVE30.
