Her's was in a way, more trite and sentimental, because a person never thinks that hard about their appearance or backstory into a mirror. The interaction between the characters a little later in the story would have revealed (show) all of the characteristics that she bullied us with (tell). What wouldn't be shown obviously wouldn't be important.
I disliked her locked down version of POV actually. There's a bit more fluidity to it than what she was attributing to it.
