peaches and cream

Lovely complexion description

Peaches and cream describes a smooth, pale complexion with rosy undertones—the ideal of healthy, attractive skin: She has a peaches-and-cream complexion.

The phrase extends to anything pleasant, harmonious, or going smoothly: Their relationship isn't all peaches and cream.
