Eve Light Switch is $48 @ Amazon which seems to be an alltime low.
A couple Wemo devices have been on sale recently at Amazon. The Wemo Dimmer was $59.99 and the Wemo Mini Smart Plug was $23.99. I wouldn't be surprised if they hit those prices again this weekend.
Philips unfortunately hasn't created a smart power outlet. I personally use a Wemo smart plug for devices that I want to turn on or off using Amazon's Alexa. The Wemo outlet cannot dim though and I'm unaware of any smart device/outlet that can dim ordinary lights.
Edit: Looks like Wemo does offer a dimmer now but requires installation.

Oh wow, I have non-24 and not very much money, so I've actually been working on doing basically the same thing! Right now I have some fluorescent grow lights plugged into a wemo switch, and let me tell you..... it's certainly not the same.
The bad news is that from what I can find, there's no real good way to do it cleanly if you want dimming, since most smart plugs are a simple binary on/off. I have found a few options though!
(I'm sure you know but please note the requisite be super careful around AC voltage, it'll make you dead)
The first is something along the lines of this, what's meant to be an in-wall dimmer to replace a 1-gang light switch. That's probably gonna be the easiest way to do it -- just attach it to the wires in-line, and you're good to go. There are other, similar options that may be cheaper, especially if you can use something like z-wave.
I don't have a link atm, but I also know that I've seen someone take a normal cheapo wall dimmer and just... hook a lil servo motor up to it. That's also an option?
After some searching, I did find what seems to be the one plug-in smart dimming outlet that doesn't require a hub. Heads-up though, it's only rated to 100W with LEDs so you'll wanna be careful. Not having look much into this, I make no promises, but my cursory googling actually seems really promising. Price isn't horrible, either.
So here's where I thought to check the wonderful world of Sonoff. It's not the CLEANEST solution visually, but they actually do make a smart socket -- if you're willing to drop $60 and be done, just get six of these guys here.
EDIT: Just kidding, those bases also do not have dimmers, so they won't work. But here's a video of someone using one of their surprisingly cheap wall dimmers to do just what you want!

The smart mirror doesn't have a zigbee hub, so you are gonna wanna get a WiFi smart switch with Alexa support.
Something like the Wemo Dimmer Switch would work well.
Absolutely. There are many choices for switches with dimmers that can be used with automation. Here's one, but there are quite a few.

What do you intend to use for the automation? (Alexa, smartthings, Google...)
Is there any reason you're not considering a smart dimmer? You can get them as a switch or a plug. (There are also WiFi versions, if Z-Wave isn't your thing.) Then you can use whichever light you like, as long as they are marked as "dimmable" on the packaging.
I'm not a proponent of smart bulbs in general because, while they last long, they do still burn out. But I understand they are a good solution for some people, though. I hope you find what works for you.
