I peeked at her eyes would be correct. It doesn't make sense to say "I peeked in to her eyes" as her eyes are not a container, and "in to" Is put together to be like "into." But, if you were to say, "I peeked into the box" that would be correct, as there is space (inside the box) to peek into. But, you could still say "I stared into her eyes."

What do you mean by "peeked?" Looked into her eyes?
