How do I keep from cussing out my sister-in-law?

She lies more than any person I've ever known, save one, and I don't know how much more I can take. Her family has just let this go on for so long it has really just become something she does rather than a problem that something needs to be done about. And please don't tell me to just overlook it or it's not hurting anyone or it's just a lie...who's it hurting? If I could do any of those or felt that way....I wouldn't be asking this question. It's just that she will lie about the dumbest crap on earth and just expect for everyone else around her to be just as dumb as she is and believe her. The sad thing is she's a pretty nice person she is just so fake and lies so often I really can't see us becoming close friends like I initially wanted and expected to become. How can I tell her off, and let her know, when I know she is lying without causing some huge family crisis. If this was my immediate family and not my in-laws I would just tell them off.

Update:

And say have a nice day and call them the next day like nothing happened. But these people don't work like that. If you say something or speak your mind they hate you for eternity and I don't want things to turn out that way, but at the same time I want to let her know that I don't appreciate being lied to, especially about stupid crap. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to cuss out my sister-in-law...without having to cuss her out?

    This is exactly how my mother in law is, I felt like I couldnt say anything either, so what I did was I made up a story about some made up girl I knew, I said she was a liar and that I hated liars and that she is always lying about anything and everything and I told her if I ever had a family member who lied to me like this id tell the whole family about her and write her a** off, well mother in law got very quiet and from talking everyday to now talking maybe 2 x a week , thank friggen god she got the hint, she doesnt lie to me anymore she just lies to my hubby, but that is now his problem LOL
