The Devil's Advocate (1997) [Mary Ann Lomax]: Commits suicide by slitting her throat with a piece of broken glass in a hospital room while Keanu Reeves watches helplessly. Her death is later undone when Keanu rejects Al Pacino's satanic offer and everything is restored to as it had been.

The Huntsman: Winter's War (2016) [Ravenna]: Turns into gold and shatters when Chris Hemsworth throws his axe into the mirror and destroys it, after her sister (Emily Blunt) uses her powers to freeze it.

Kubo and the Two Strings (2016; animated) [Monkey/Sariatu]: (1) As "Sariatu", Charlize dies as she charges at her Sisters (voiced by Rooney Mara) to allow Kubo (voiced by Art Parkinson) to escape. (2) "Sariatu" is reincarnated into the form of "Monkey", and dies again when she sacrifices herself so that Kubo can destroy the remaining Sister with a destructive magical note from his shamisen. "Sariatu" later appears as a spirit at the end of the film.
