Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
I have a friend that lies about pretty much everything, even extremely stupid things. I've learned to deal with it, but talking to her definitely made her realize how annoying she is when she lies. If you don't think you can handle her lies for much longer, tell her to stop, or reconsider the friendship. I actually stopped being this girls friend for about 3 months until her lying got better and now we are better friends =] If you are close enough, honestly just talk to her! good luck

From there:
Usually people lie because they are afraid of the consequences of the truth. The only way to get someone to stop lying to you, is to change the reactions that one might have after hearing the truth. Therefore causing the person doing the lying not to feel compelled to lie in order to protect themselves from the potentially harmful negative emotional reaction of the other person.
There is a quote that I find fitting about this subject:
"The [person], whose behavior indicates, that [they] will make a scene if [they are] told the truth, asks to be deceived."
If that doesn't help, I'll answer more in depth.
