Check out the Amazon.in finds in Kareema Barry’s bougie new vanity area

I’m from Kolkata but recently moved to Mumbai by myself. I’ve been wanting to give my new apartment a glow up for a while, so I decided to browse through Amazon.in for some items I can purchase for my home, more specifically for my vanity space.

I used to despise the process of getting ready when I was younger, possibly because I associated it with school. My vanity space was never the most important area of my home, but now I look at it as a form of self-care. I think with independence comes growth and a strong desire to pamper and care for oneself.

I love sitting down, doing my skincare routine, and applying makeup to go out or for a shoot. This process, of course, includes many distractions but I always end with a spray of my favourite perfume to smell nice.

People who are new to adulting, like myself, hop on to Amazon.in the moment they have the slightest requirements for their homes. It’s like calling up a parent up when you have no idea how to solve a problem!

Shopping on Amazon.in is objectively easy and smooth. The top feature for me is the speedy Prime delivery as patience is not one of my virtues. I also enjoy the special deals – they never disappoint. A good trick I figured is to always check the ‘compare’ feature, which allows you to see similar products before making a purchase.

Here are the top 10 things I purchased on Amazon.in for my vanity area:

A mirror is probably the first thing one thinks of when you want to build a dressing space. This mid-sized mirror with a black frame is really good quality. It helps me achieve the right look for everything, be it a full-fledged shoot or a simple house party.
P.S. this is a ‘must buy’ if you're looking for a sturdy and long lasting mirror for many mirror selfies.

I’m big on colours and if I could turn my home into a rainbow of furniture, I would! Apart from the aesthetic, this piece has a bunch of drawers you can use to organise all your products.

Green is one of my favourite colours and I love flowers. This vase has such a cute shape—that’s all it took for me to make the purchase! I use the cactus-shaped ceramic vase to keep flowers near my dressing space. As someone who is decorating her first home, I fully understand why adults get so upset when a kid breaks a vase. Vases are precious.

I’ve always wanted a magnifying mirror like they have in hotels, and this one exceeds my expectations. While I do have a wall mirror, I can use lights on this one and do my makeup without blending mishaps. You can even adjust the magnification level to get a 180-degree view while getting ready.

As good as it is to buy practical items, I also love browsing the fashion options on Amazon.in. I’ve bought many items that have lasted me beyond expectation and these rings are one of them.
