So I'm panning my collection right down which means some of the things I bought then set aside are needing to be used. Some of them I really am not sure I understand!
So this thread is for people to mention things they already own, but don't use because they're really not sure, and for others to suggest ways to love the product in question.
My 'not sure' product is Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder. I impulse bought a mini of this in Sydney last May and it's been sitting around gathering dust for almost a year.

The Too Faced absolutely invisible powder candle light glow... thing. I was catfished into buying it because "it puts a filter on my face" and "it gives me flawless skin" and judging from their photos** it did. But I just don't get it. Is it a highlighter? a setting powder? I just... why.
** i didn't realize at the time but the photos of the people wearing said product were filtered to filth and I was dumb and assumed it was their natural skin, not the beauty filter on the phones selfie camera hahahahaha derp. OHHH how foolish I was. I wouldn't have purchased it otherwise.

This is such a good idea for a thread Trudi. Not sure if this fits, but my main not-sure-I-understand issues occur with a couple of products that should be simple to use (like a smokey eye crayon I've reviewed). First I just think the product is terrible, and then I look on BR and see heaps of people love it. I feel like I've messed a special memo about how to apply it or something. Might just be practice, but can't help thinking there's a trick to it.
I've never bought a contouring or strobing kit for this very reason - wouldn't have a clue how to use it properly. However, I did get a free mini Becca highlighting powder with the primer, about 18 months ago, and was initially skeptical as to the point of it. O.M.G. Amazing. I've been a highlighter addict ever since, but have yet to find one as lovely as the hideously expensive Becca one, sadly. Still not sure I'm using it as it's meant to be used, but it looks great on the top of the cheekbones.
I did some google karate and came up with this brush to apply highlighter. It really works! The quality of the brush is meh but the size, shape and distribution of powder is pretty good ie just enough but not over powering.
i use this one on highlighter :)
This might seem like a weird one but Lush Goth Fairy, I just don't get it. It's supposed to be a massage bar, but it is so hard to work with, all the other massage bars from Lush, just melt once your skin has come into contact with it this one just seems so super dry and not user friendly.
And what is up with all that glitter, it was everywhere. I nearly looked just as shimmary as Robert Patterson in the Twilight movies lol (not the male part though he he he). Now a little bit of shimmer is nice but the amount of glitter is just mental. It was so hard to get it off and it was all over my pjs and in the bed (I like to use massage bars before bed as I find they help me sleep better).
Omg, am I just getting old and being un-fun (I know that is not a word but it is nearly 10 at night and my brain is like a fried egg right now)
