Interactive Sightings Map: Wet n Wild Spring/Summer 2015 Collections

Due to popular demand, I've created an interactive sightings map for both the Spring and Summer 2015 Wet n Wild limited edition collections. I'm sorry it took me so long to get this up (behind-the-scenes issues I won't bore you with!) but it's here now and I'm hoping it will be helpful to those of you looking for these collections.

Click HERE, HERE and HERE for more pics of the Spring 2015 Silver Lake collection.

NOTE: You may access this map at any time by clicking the "Interactive Sighting Maps" graphic on the top graphic bar of this blog.

Below you will find an interactive sightings map to help us track sightings of the Wet n Wild Spring and Summer 2015 Limited Edition collections. I create these maps in order to help all of us find these collections locally, so I thank you in advance for sharing your sightings with the community and for reading all of the instructions before you leave a marker on the map.

Interactive Sightings Maps - Feedback Request

Over the past week or so I've received requests to create interactive sightings maps (if you're new here, you can click HERE to see what these are all about) for some of the limited edition collections that you're having trouble locating.

Wet n Wild Fall 2014 Limited Edition Collection 
Interactive Sightings Map

I'd love to hear from you in the comments here on this post, as to the maps you'd most like to see. Right now I'm getting the most requests for the Maybelline Spring 2015 collection and the e.l.f. Elsa collection, but I've also received a few requests for a map for the Wet n Wild Spring 2015 collection (eyeshadow palettes and nail polishes).

NOTE: Please keep in mind that I do not do maps for permanent collections--only limited edition collections. So I won't be doing a map for the new Wet n Wild Fergie stuff, since those products will eventually be easy to find at most Walgreens stores (and probably online as well). Thanks!

Looking for a new collection? There's a MAP for that...

Just a quick reminder: If you're looking for the Maybelline Gilded in Gold Collection, the Wet n Wild Limited Edition Coloricon Eyeshadow Trios or the Wet n Wild Holiday 2013 Collections, we've got interactive sightings maps to help you locate them!
The Maybelline Gilded in Gold Collection Sightings Map

You can access ALL of the active sightings maps at any time by clicking the "INTERACTIVE SIGHTING MAPS" link located in the top menu bar of this blog. If you're on a mobile device, here are the direct links:
As always, if you locate any of these collections in your area, PLEASE help your fellow readers out and leave a marker on the corresponding map. You are helping so many of us by doing so--I can't thank you enough! 

One more thing: I only do interactive sightings maps for Limited Edition collections. I don't make them for new permanent collections because, eventually, those collections will be everywhere. Also, if you're still looking for the e.l.f. Disney Villains collections, e.l.f. has a store locator on their website here

Thanks to everyone who has ever left a marker on any of these maps, and thanks to everyone who leaves a marker in the future. Your help is invaluable and I'm so grateful!

Looking for the Wet n Wild Tough Girl Collection or Milani Coming Up Roses Collection?


A few quick reminders:
  • If you're looking for either of these collections, I have interactive sightings maps for both of them, filled with reader-submitted sightings! You can access the sightings maps on the menu bar near the top of my blog (just click "Interactive Sighting Maps" to the left of the red lipstick tube!).
  • Previously, I was letting readers know via my social media channels every time that I approved new sightings on these maps (I approved markers once per day). But it seemed like the reception to that was sort of "blah" so now I'm just approving markers once a day and not really announcing it. If you would like me to go back to letting you know via social media whenever I approve a new batch of markers, please leave a comment on this post and let me know? 
  • I've been noticing that readers have been leaving comments on other blog posts indicating that they've spotted these collections, and that's fantastic! But it would be even more helpful if you'd take a moment to leave a marker on these maps, so that your information doesn't get overlooked or buried in the comments. Thanks SO much for your help!

Update regarding the Interactive Sightings Maps

  • There is now a clickable link on the top menu bar of this blog titled "Interactive Sighting Maps": 
  • If you click that link, it will take you to all of the ACTIVE sightings maps. Hopefully this permanent link on the top of my blog will make it easier for all of you to access the sightings maps (both now and in the future) whenever you need them!
  • Over the past week or two, I've approved about 30 new sightings on the Wet n Wild Pop Art Craze sightings map. This collection is still trickling out to retailers, but obviously the huge distribution wave is pretty much over (at one point I was approving 50+ new sightings per day!). 
Wet n Wild Pop Art Craze Interactive Sightings Map,as of 7/12/13
  • If you ever have a request for a new sightings map, please leave a comment here on the blog or through any of my social media channels and I'd be happy to consider it! I generally only create these maps for collections that are NOT going to hit most drugstores (Wet n Wild, Milani, and JulieG are good examples since those limited edition collections have a more limited release). So for example, I probably won't do a Maybelline Fall 2013 sightings map because we're bound to see that collection hit just about every CVS/Rite Aid/Walgreens, etc. within the next few weeks.  But if the majority of you would like to see sightings maps for widely-distributed limited edition collections, I want to hear from you! I would certainly reconsider if the majority of you want 'em.
I want to take a moment to once again thank those of you who have left sightings markers on the interactive sightings maps--you have no idea how many of us you have helped. Your willingness to share you info here is so appreciated--I am forever grateful!

Quick note about the Wet n Wild Pop Art Craze Sightings Map...


First of all: WOW! Thank you so much to all 100+ readers across the country who have left markers on the Pop Art Craze Interactive Sightings Map as of today! I have heard from many readers in the past few days who have been able to find these trios and polishes all because of your incredibly helpful information. So thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the time to share your sightings on the map--you have no idea how many of us you're helping (trust me, it's a lot!).

Second: I approve new markers once a day and after I do so, I let those of you who follow me on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Google+ know that I've updated the map. I do NOT post on my blog every time I approve markers, so if you'd like to know the moment new sightings are on the map, follow me on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or Google+.

Thanks again to everyone who has contributed information to the sightings map--I am so grateful that you'd take a moment out of your day to share your sightings with us!

Wet n Wild Pop Art Craze Collection Interactive Sightings Map


As requested, here's an Interactive Sightings Map for us to help track sightings of the Wet n Wild Summer 2013 Limited Edition Pop Art Craze Collection (eyeshadow trios and nail polishes). A huge thank-you in advance to everyone who takes the time to leave a sighting on this map--you are helping SO many of us by doing so!

I'm doing a few things differently (and hopefully better!) this time around, so PLEASE read the following information:

I've included a "List" on the right-hand side of the map. When markers start appearing on this map, you'll be able to click on a listing and the map will automatically zoom in on that marker (PLEASE follow the specific directions below and thank you!).

CLICK ON A LISTING TO THE RIGHT TO BE AUTOMATICALLY TAKEN TO THE MARKER ON THE LEFT:

Wet n Wild Summer 2013 Limited Edition Pop Art Craze Collection Sightings Map

NOTE: To collapse the list, click the little arrow icon on the far right (you can click it again to bring the list back)


BEFORE ADDING A MARKER, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:

1) YOU MUST FIND THE LOCATION ON THE MAP THAT YOU WANT TO MARK.

2) After you find your location on the map, CLICK "ADD" in the upper right corner of the map and fill out the boxes in the form as follows:
Box 1: Store, City, Date of Sighting. EXAMPLE: "Walgreens, San Diego, 7/15"
Box 2: Location. EXAMPLE: "1243 Green Valley Road, San Diego, CA"
Box 3: Description: Tell us if you found the trios, polishes or both, and anything else you want to add. EXAMPLE: "I only found the polishes at this location, and they were located right next to the beauty counter. Only three shades were left in the display when I got there."
3) If your marker does not appear after you refresh the page, please do not add another marker. It might take up to 24 hours for me to approve markers on this map.

NOTE: If this map does not load for you, try viewing it in another browser or click here for a direct link to the map (you cannot add markers via that direct link; you must add markers by accessing the map via this blog post).

If you follow Jesse's Girl on Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram, then you know that there's been quite the buzz about the new Limited Edition JulieG Frosted Gum Drop Nail Color Collection (click here for swatches).

Jesse's Girl has done a great job at keeping fans updated on the distribution of this collection, but since we all know that limited edition collections like this don't show up in stores at the exact same time, I created a map to track sightings.

PLEASE BE SURE TO FILL IN THE STORE LOCATION AND CITY INFO ON THE MARKER FORM (and a street name if you'd like) of the drugstore in the notes. You may also add notes about how many palettes were left when you were there, where the display was located in the store, etc.

Wet n Wild Where's the Party? Interactive Sightings Map

Due to popular request, I've created a sightings map for the Wet n Wild Limited Edition Where's the Party? Collection (8-pan eyeshadow palettes). Please feel free to post a marker on this map if you find this collection in your area (detailed instructions below).

NOTE #1: I've added a NEW FEATURE to this map but I need your help to make it work. When you add a marker, please enter the store name, city and state in the very first box on the entry form. By doing so, your marker will come up in a list visible on the right side of the map when you view the map here. Hopefully this will make it easier to search for markers in your city and state. (If you don't like viewing this list when you're in full-screen mode, there is an option to remove it by clicking the little arrow at the top of the list.)

NOTE #2: I approve markers at least once a day, so if you do not see your marker after you create it, please allow UP TO 24 HOURS for it to appear on this map.

If this map will not load for you, try viewing it in a different browser or on a desktop. You may also access this map directly by clicking here, but if you want to add a marker, you must do so by visiting the map via this blog post. Thanks for your cooperation!


BEFORE ADDING A MARKER, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING: 

1) Find the location you want to mark on the map above.

2) After you find your location on the map, click "ADD" in the upper right corner of the map and follow the instructions. PLEASE BE SURE TO ENTER THE STORE, CITY AND STATE IN THE FIRST BOX ON THE ENTRY FORM. In the "location" box you can enter the street address of the store, if you'd like. In the "description", feel free to enter any other pertinent info such as when you spotted the display, where it's located within the store and how many items were left when you were there.

3) If your marker does not appear on the map after you refresh the page, PLEASE DO NOT ADD ANOTHER MARKER. It might take up to 24 hours for your marker to appear based on when I approve it. 

Thanks SO much for your help!
