Clarification required, though: I'm guessing "pelt them with bubbles" is about the futility of a life in which beauty is used in an attempt to avoid everydayness (??), but what does the peach stones line mean?

Yes, you're basically right. It's about the losing battle I see all the girls around me trying to fight - "oh, if I make myself pretty / lose a bit of weight then everything will be okay." Um, no it won't. The pretty girl with the black spiky eyelashes knows that, which is why she's laughing at them.
The peach stones line is a reference to all the exfoliating products that contain extracts of peach or apricot. I have no idea why those particular fruits are so popular among people who want to slough away dead skin to expose the bright complexion that the makers of these products assure us is underneath.
