So lets take a better look at each product.

INNOVATION: EXCLUSIVE ANTI-GREY TECHNOLOGYThis BB cream comes in two shads, light and medium. Loaded with ingredients that not just help your skin look good right away, but also help it long term look and feel better. Which lets face it, is what we all want in a BB cream, isn't it?
ANTI-GREY ON SURFACE:
Formulated with mother of pearl and corrective pigments to instantly eliminate the grey tone and reveal your ideal skin complexion.
ANTI-GREY IN DEPTH:
Enriched with Kombucha, our first clarity-boosting active ingredient which reduces grey tone at every layer of the skin. Day after day, it helps illuminate the skin from within.
I started using the light version a few months ago and quickly fell in love. Not only does it leave my skin hydrated but it looked fantastic. I find with most BB creams they can be too heavy in the moisturizer side and can cause me to feel like I am wearing a mask, but not Idealia's it leaves me feeling just right and with a decent enough coverage. It isn't full coverage by any means, but the perfect BB coverage (for me anyways).
The best part seems to be that it gets better the more I use it, my skin has looked far less dull this winter and much more glowy. Plus my darker spots are fading and my skin is looking much more smooth.

I love that it isn't a heavy eye cream, it is almost like a gel-lotion hybrid that lends it self very well to day time wear and use under concealer. As for the light reflecting properties, they are subtle but effective. I am always weary of these things making me look glittery (Smashbox Photo Op Eye Brighter, I'm looking at you, you made me look like a disco ball) but it manages to be just the right amount of super fine illumination that makes you look good without being noticeable to others.
