You have probably already seen this tutorial somewhere before or know how to make glassy button with Photoshop. But I'm going to show you here is done with Illustrator in 3 simple steps.
1. Create the circle paths
First create a circle path and fill it with orange color. Then Copy (Ctrl+C) it and Paste in Front (Ctrl+F). Scale down about 40% and drag it slight below the center point of the orange circle.
2. Blend Tool
Select the Blend Tool 
,
click on the top edge of the yellow circle and then click again on the top edge of the orange circle.
Or you can blend them by selecting both circles, go to Object > Blend > Make (Ctrl+Alt+B).
3. Add final light reflection
M ake an oval path and fill it with black & white Gradient and place it on top of the circles. With the oval path selected, go to Transparency pallate, select Screen Blend Mode. If your Transparency is not showing, go to Window > Transparency or press Ctrl+Shift+F10.
